Release...Peace

A few pics from our *Inner Harmony & Expansion* retreat last weekend near Bantry, West Cork, Ireland.
We had an utterly magical time, incredible food, lots of laughs and a few tears. A solid community was built in a very short space of time...
Our new retreat location was amazing.
Thank you all very much ❤️ for being so authentic, truthful and honest. It was humbling and a joy to sit in circle with you all 🙏. Loved all the beautiful experiences facilitated Molly too. Even the weather was incredible!
If you missed out, keep checking this page and our website www.releasepeace.ie as we will be facilitating more potent retreats later this year...

Good Morning everyone!
Last week, I had a request from one of our meditation class participants who asked if we could do a meditation to help increase the feeling of self-belief and that of deserving better. I agreed, as I too get those feelings sometimes (though not as often as I used to) and understand how challenging this is.
My inner critic can at times, become very hard on me and I get caught up in the “not good enough” or "not deserving enough" loops.

We become our own worst enemy rather than a true friend, paralyzed by self-doubt and a lack of self-love. Facing insecurities of this kind, is often a private inner battle that others rarely see.

In this next class, I'd like to share a meditation or two to help you breathe and remind yourself that you are worthy of your own love and compassion. Those old messages that have kept you from celebrating every part of yourself can be released and you'll be able (by listening regularly to the meditation) to embrace greater confidence in your life. Do join us - we'd love to see you - we are all in this together remember!

I look forward to seeing you Tuesday evening. Mind yourselves,
With love and kindest regards,

I'm always so thrilled to get feedback about my Mindfulness and Meditation classes.

This lovely email arrived today from one of the participants of my Maryborough Hotel Leisure Club Members . We meet every Tuesday evening 8.30pm:

"Dear Michelle,
Many thanks for the recordings and for the meditation yesterday evening. It is a truly valuable addition to my week. You have created a wonderful group.
With best wishes"

Interesting

High sugar intake is really a big trigger for inflammation, I keep saying that only in moderation please.

Big Thank you
So lovely to receive an email today from a client I worked with in the past who shares the following:

"I am writing this email to thank you for your help, support , knowledge and kind heart during my work with you in 2016.
You have helped me to remove the greatest pain from my soul and introduced me to the world of self-development.
Since then I have learned, experienced so much various abundance in my life.
I have moved back home and the quality of my life is much much better in my life and also I see much more opportunities on every level of my life.
I feel much happier and lighter but this is just the beginning of new chapter in my life, although Ireland is still going to be my home.
I am so happy I have been working with you because I am in a much different place now. I have a wonderful partner and soon I will be opening my own business.
I wanted once again thank you for your compassion and your wonderful personality. "

I am so delighted for my client that she has made so many changes. This email made my day!

Powerful words! Thanks Margaret Hillerby for sharing this post

PHOTO OF THE DAY. “When someone tells you that you can’t do it, be the tree, not the rock.”
~ Vangelis.

CNN released a big photo and showed it to the whole world...
.. a picture that will remain in history... taken by the lens of photographer Anil Prabhakar in the forest in Indonesia.

The image shows an orangutan currently under threat of extinction while stretching out his hand to help a geologist who fell into a mud pool during his search...
.. a touching scene...

A great lesson for people who threaten their habitat and its kind...
When the photographer uploaded the photo, he wrote above:

In a time when the concept of humanity dies, animals lead us to the principles of humanity...

May we all be kind today to others, even if they are different from us. 🙏♥️
