Happy Xmas everyone and a New Year full of love, joy, peace, good health and happiness…
🌲🎼💃🏻🕺🏿❤️🕎🎶🌲

Hello Everyone,
Thank you for your posts, beautiful pictures and inspiring words.
Rosen Method Bodywork and Movement 💃🏻 🕺🏿🎼💃🏻 🕺🏿🎶 inspire us from within our own beings, assist us to breathe more easily and to move in our “ one wild and precious life” with more ease and flow.
This deep winter time is a time to ponder and to reflect, to move within ourselves and outwards to connect with family friend and all the people who support us as we live our daily lives. It is a time to be grateful, to give and to receive, not just material gifts, also our own lives and each passing present moment. It is a time of darkness and light. We hold both.
As we move through this days, however they are for us, may we stay tuned and be present to ourselves, to others and to our troubled world and to the sufferings of people everywhere.

Nature is our best friend to manage stress and come home to ourselves.

I took this picture on my walk this morning…the expansion and openness of the Irish sea is a constant gift to me.

Re: Free iIntroductory Rosen Method Workshop…Rosen Method has 2 integrated components: Rosen Method Bodywork and Rosen Method Movement. I will introduce both during the workshop.

I have posted a flier with all the details which include the following:

It is on Friday 24th February, (next Friday) at 7pm to 9pm in the Blackrock Community Centre on Sandy Lane. The Eir Code is on the flier.
if you are interested please pass flier on to others you think might be interested.
Rosen Method Bodywork can assist the person, through gentle touch, the use of meaningful words, and the focused presence of the practitioner to :
Release tension and anxiety.
Connect more deeply with your true self,
Live more kindly in your body
Assist with your personal growth in a very gentle, positive, non-judgemental way.
To become more loving and compassionate towards oneself and others….to mention just a few benefits.
Carl Jung has a quote that says something like this:
Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. The person who looks outside dreams. who looks inside, awakens.

If this message resonates with you then this workshop is for you! You will be very welcome…

Looking forward to seeing you 🌹

Hello Readers!

Following up about Movement and it’s importance… Take a look at this Indian dancer. What does the image say to you? What do you notice?

I see how flexible she is, notice how easy it is for her to move. She is moving every joint and muscle in her body. I notice particularly her hands, fingers and wrists! ( just to name a few).
She is moving with ease and joy and can balance very well without the fear of falling. I imagine she is moving to music and is enjoying being in her body.

May I refer you back to my previous post where I posted my Rosen Movement flyer. Take a quick look now, before you continue reading.
In this class you may possibly find 1 hour in your week to connect with yourself and your body. In this way your body will become more flexible, you will move with more ease, your legs will get stronger and you will prevent falls and find immense joy within your body. This is particularly important as we age.

We have been meeting every Thursday since the beginning of the year and I would love to see you there! Let me know if Thursdays do not work for you, so I can plan for another class.

With love and lots of good wishes to you at this time.
Catherine

Hello dear readers,
Winter is here. We can see it all around us, In our gardens, on our walks, we feel it in the mornings when we awaken in the dark, during our day when a piercing cold wind gathers around us, and in the evening as we make our way homeward in the dark. There seems to be more darkness than light these days.
Nature speaks to us during all her seasons. Winter is a time of stillness and darkness. Seeds planted deep in the earth rest in anticipation of the light that awaits above ground. The earth rests in stillness. The land waits for the return of the sun and the renewal that comes with spring.
What is nature saying to us at this time? It is pulling me inward as I ponder the mystery of darkness and light. We cannot have one without the other!How do we navigate our way from our own inner darkness into the light? My hope is that together we will lean into this journey of winter-time, taking time to reflect and to draw water and nourishment from our own inner well of inspiration and wisdom and make good choices for ourselves.

One creative way I can awaken myself to the joy of being alive is to take time in the beginning of my day to move gently every joint and muscle in my body. How much more important it is these dark days to find our own way to feel alive.

All this brings me to sharing with you about my Rosen Movement class that I give each Thursday, at 11:30 am in the Community Centre in Blackrock, Co. Louth. It is a fun class done to music that wakes up every joint and muscle in the body. It opens the body, prevents falling, brings vitality and energy to our bodies and is totally enjoyable as we use dance-like movements and move together to beautiful music.

Hello Readers,
Rosen Method, founded by Marion Rosen, has two components:
Rosen Method Bodywork and Rosen Method Movement. These two components, arms, or branches of Rosen Method arise from the same stem and although distinctly different each are very connected and interconnected as they have the same philosophy.
They are each about embodiment, present moment awareness, presence to oneself, opening the body to experience its aliveness, vitality, joy, wisdom, and pain, and allowing the body to express what may be hidden, forgotten or pushed away.
In both Rosen Method Biodywork and Rosen Method Movement we meet ourselves as we are with respect, with compassion and without judgement. From this deep place inside oneself deep healing can happen, we can open to possibilities and to change. Marion Rosen used to say during my training with her;
“Moving from the person I think I am to the person I really am”

Today I would like to tell you about my Rosen Method Movement classes in Blackrock Community Centre, on Sandy Lane, Co. Louth, every Thursday at 11:30am to 12:30pm

Rosen Method Movement classes are gentle, slow, easy and are for people of all ages and abilities. We move together with joy and ease to good music and rhythm. The movements are designed to increase flexibility,, prevent falling. improve mobility,, lengthen muscles, and to open all the joints of the body. Current participants say it is a fun class and most effective and enjoyable. So do please join us. We still have places available.

Life is really very simple, what we give out we get back. Let us look this week at what I believe…

The thoughts we think and words we speak create our experiences.
Which of these statements sounds like you?

“People are out to get me, to use me, to take advantage of me” or
“Everyone is always helpful”.

Each of these 2 beliefs will create quite different experiences!
What I believe about myself and about life becomes true for me.
And we each have unlimited choices about what we think.

When we know this, then it makes sense to to choose to think,
“Everyone is always helpful”

So this week let us together watch our thoughts. We are the only thinkers in our mind. Every thought we think about ourselves, about life is creating out future.

You may find this affirmation helpful in your reflection this coming week about what you think and believe…

“This moment is a new point of beginning for me right here and right now. All is well in my world”

Hello dear Readers,
I hope you are enjoying the beautiful sunshine these days. Summer is passing so quickly. Already it is almost mid August!

Summertime and holiday time aregoodtimrd to reflect upon our Ives and to take trimester to ponder upon the months ahead - the last 4 months of the year….

I might ask myself:
What do I most want for myself, for my health, for my well-being and happiness? What in my life do I most want to happen, or to change?

Decisions and new beginnings are challenging for each of us. What is important is simply to begin, to take that first step for myself to reclaim my happiness and to find greater peace and joy within, and in my life.

Rosen Method Bodyworkcan assist you to discover within yourself what that first step might look like for you. It can assist you to unlock to unlock so many possibility for yourself and your life. So take heart, and courage to bring into being your deepest heart’s desires. The Universe, the Divine within will surely meet you and your efforts!

So don’t hesitate to phone Catherine for your first Rosen Bodywork session. I assure you. you will not regret doing so as I discovered for myself many years ago. And what a difference that has made!

Dear Readers,
This is summertime, a time for weddings, relationships, connecting with family and friends, enjoyment, partying and having a lovely time…
Let us look together at true love and what it means. What is love? It is , as we know, about opening our hearts. What does it mean to open ones heart, opening one’s own heart to oneself?
We as humans can have an inability to love ourselves, we somehow feel it is selfish to do so.
Say to yourself right now “ I love myself” how does it feel to say this to yoursel? Listen to your body as you say it…
Loving oneself is about taking good care of your body, it’s needs, wants, nourishing yourself in body mind and spirit , setting boundaries for yourself and listening carefully within.
In Rosen method you are invited to listen within, to listen deeply to yourself to find your own truth, voice, and your own answers to the many questions you have, and to find and acknowledge your own wisdom within.
Giving such attention to oneself does not come easy. We have to learn to find oneself from within first., to find and befriend one’s fears, hopes, joys , encouragement, affirmation and well-being from within. The love we generate from within will improve our life and touch the lives of all those around us.
Rosen Method is about finding one’s authentic self. Embodied self love and awareness, through gentle touch that reaches the beauty within, brings deeper connection and fresh insights , and influences how we feel, how we are in our lives and in the world.
If you haven’t already had a Rosen Method Bodywork session don’t hesitate any longer. Why would you?
Call Catherine to book a session at:

An online weekend introductory workshop will be available in October, so don’t miss out!
Looking forward to hearing from many of you very soon.

Today is the longest day of the year and the shortest night.
Let us pause and feel blessed. Let us also remember those who don’t see light and who are without hope in our troubled world…
As the earth continues its journey around the sun let us feel inspired on our journey by the words of Hafiz, the Persian poet to guide our way….
The Rose
How did the rose
Ever open its heart
And give the world
All its beauty.
It felt the encouragement of Light
Against its being.
Otherwise
We all remain
Too frightened.
- Hafiz

Happy Solstice, the Longest day, and the shortest night of the year of the year!
Today, at noon I stood outside and noticed that I had no shadow. Only Spirits don’t have shadows. So this is the day that we humans and all creatures are most like spirits in our present reality!
Let us hold in our hearts those who don’t see light, those without light or hope, and all the suffering people and troubled areas in our world.
As the earth continues its journey around the sun let us trust in the words of Hafiz , the inspiring Persian poet, to guide our way…
The Rise
How did the rose
Ever open its heart
And give the world
All its beauty?
It felt the encouragement of Light
Against its being,
Otherwise,
We all remain
Too frightened
- Hafiz

Rosen Method Bodywork Peaceful Touch

This work is very gentle and kind. I was drawn into this modality in California in the early 90's by a flier I picked up. The words by Marion Rosen, founder of Rosen Method, written on the flier were:
"Moving from the person I think I am, to the person I really am" These words caught my attention. I pondered upon them, I was very curious to find out more, and they guided me into studying this modality.

Often we 'think' we know who we are and how we feel, but then we very often loose 'touch' with our true selves. our desires, and who we really are...Taking a Rosen method session can help you find yourself, who you really are, your desires, aliveness, and open to being more fully alive, present in body, mind and "heart". This gentle, focused touch can help you to find more of yourself.

Call Catherine at 087/1252230 for a free phone consultation. I very much look forward to hearing from you.

Hello everyone. Ihope your week is going well. Today we had our 2nd Rosen Movement class Blackrock Haggardstown C Centre. We all had so much fun moving to beautiful music.
If you are thinking it might be too much for you let me assure you the easy, gentle movements that we do are simple, yet profound and work wonders for everyone.
Comments at the end of the class included: "feeling relaxed,
tingling. more flexible, calmer, joyful"
Come join us, you will enjoy these Movements very much. They help to keep one feeling younger, alive, and energetic.
Thank you, Catherine.

Hello Everyone,
I hope your New Year is getting off to a good start. We had a great first Rosen movement class on Thursday last.

Really looking forward to starting classes in mid January. Classes will be held in Blackrock Haggardstown C Centre. Contact Catherine at 087/1252230 for more information.
