Monday Feels….
♡
Forgiveness
♡
One of the greatest gift you can offer, is forgiveness. On my walk this morning, I was listening to Robin Sharma discussing productivity & creativity through forgiveness. I started to reflect on my own journey and relationship to forgiveness and recognising the value of forgiveness AND how it has improved my relationship with life.
♡
Forgiveness means different things to people. But in general, it involves an intentional decision to let go of resentment and anger. It can free you from the control of the person who hurt you. For me personally, forgiveness has led to feelings of understanding, empathy and compassion for someone or even myself.
♡
Forgiveness doesn’t mean forgetting or excusing the harm done to you. Forgiveness brings a kind of peace that allows you to focus on yourself & get on with life. I remember years ago I attended a self development course and part of the healing process was to call 5 people in my life who I hadn’t forgiven - whether I was still holding onto resentment, a grudge or had left things unspoken that was causing internal conflict. This was the most empowering and purposeful action that I discovered in the meaning of forgiveness.
♡
As always, my greatest teacher is my relationship with .mark.s. Always grateful for his willingness & easiness to forgive with such an open heart 🩷

New classes kick off tomorrow!
ღ
Navigating our daily lives from a centre of presence can be difficult for many people, especially if the storms of life hit. However, your body can be a place of refuge and healing if you take a moment to drop in & listen. This is why I have shaped my life to feel refuge with my body & live refuge from my heart, through the practice of meditation & yoga.
ღ
I feel honored to be holding space for students, to come into this simple practice of deep relaxation. To ground & centre you back into your body through breath work, yoga nidra & yin yoga.
ღ
Sunday:
4.00pm - 45 mins Relaxation Meditation
5.15pm - 75 mins YIN

The power of SELF LOVE ♡

I recently reconnected with one of my clients I was working with last year. Tanny recently shared publicly that I taught her the meaning of self love, to fully embody her worth & show up unapologetically as herself. My clients always mirror back to me my own journey & past wounds around love. Almost all emotional wounding & trauma is sourced from lack of love or the perception that love wasn’t there.
♡
I have started to work with women again. Women who want to uncover parts of themselves that are hidden, heal from past trauma or learn radical self-love. Whether it’s through the process of Ta**ra, embodiment practices or just holding space for the feminine, my intention is always to hold a safe container of deep love & teach women how to self-soothe & self-regulate when they are challenged in life. One of the biggest gifts is knowing to trust in one self - coming back to safety with love & compassion.
♡
Thank you beautiful for trusting in yourself. I have loved watching your journey unfold with confidence & see you worth on display!

Your need to CONTROL things is a form of anxiety…..yes you heard that right.
♡
Have you been told you are too controlling or find it difficult to allow someone to make decisions or accept their way of doing things? Need to jump in and manipulate a situation to meet your expectations OR control the situation? If you resonate….you are not alone. My beloved recently pulled me up on my control freak behaviours. Its something I am constantly working on because I am a recovering perfectionist. I recently listened to episode on the ‘Let Them’ theory that really hit home for me. If you follow my shares on this platform, you know that I am all about spreading valuable content that has impacted my life.
♡
Its easy to spend time worrying or obsessing about what we can’t control. That worry feeds anxiety and unconsciously we can react in controlling or obsessing behaviours. The ‘Let Them’ theory helps you let go of the charge or expectation/s you have over the situation or someone.
♡
The ‘Let Them’ theory is a mindset trick, a technique that is so powerful it allows you to let go and surrender. It helps you detach from the emotional or mental struggle. Next time you find yourself wanting to control…….give yourself permission to ‘Let Them’ and see what happens….
♡
Gratitude to my beloved, for always supporting me & putting up with my controlling ways 😂😬🙏🏽

Imperfection made perfect….
ღ
I recently listened to a powerful podcast episode with & - thank you!! 🙏🏽
ღ
It made me reflect on my own journey to accepting the beauty of imperfection. Just like Vy, at a very early age, I adopted the belief that I wouldn’t be loved or accepted for just being me. I was constantly striving & pushing myself to be someone admired or loved - in all the wrong places. I created an unhealthy relationship with myself & it manifested in my critical way of thinking, believing I was broken. It was bloody exhausting…the push for perfection. I never knew how exhausting it was, until I took my foot off the pedal. I finally connected to the parts of myself I hid from others. The dark parts. The parts that weren’t glamorous, fun to be around or just hard work = all my flaws! I don’t recall that moment I finally gave up the fight with myself but I do remember realizing that all the self help work, plant medicine, ta**ra & various healing modalities wasn’t going to fix me. Sure, they were all powerful resources for connection & sitting with discomfort but the real medicine, was the mirror in front of me. To truly see myself, that person staring back at me, without disguising her. Don’t get me wrong, I am forever grateful for everything I dived into. It’s all led me to where I am today in life = perfectly imperfect.
ღ
I am still a huge advocate of plant medicine as that was a huge turning point in my journey to self love. There are certain people in your life too, that help carve that way, making you see the beauty of imperfection. you have been instrumental in my journey to accepting the imperfections in myself & others. So grateful to you 🙏🏽
ღ
Here’s to the journey to loving the inner warrior. 🤍

One thing I don’t shy away from, is change. Some of the most beautiful chapters in my life have presented themselves during difficult times or taking a change in direction. I made a few big decisions of lately & usually I would be navigating in fear or worry. However, since becoming very clear in my new direction, life has opened up unexpectedly. This week I say farewell to my home of 12 months & farewell to who close their doors permanently on Thursday. I would like to extend my gratitude to .mannix, .minicozzi & all the teachers for your love, support & trust. I absolutely adore the community that you created. Thank you for trusting in me to hold space for your students & allowing me to just be ME. ♡

Tomorrow, Wednesday I teach my last class at the studio = 9.30am yin & 12.15pm flow.

Moving away from the expansive energy of summer, transitioning into the introspective energy of autumn, I am naturally moving inward.
🍂
The energy of this season, more than any other, supports our letting go of the stale in our lives, leaving us receptive to new possibilities or making space to be more spontaneous in how we connect to others. For me personally, Autumn returns me to my feminine essence, an opportunity to soften into life with open arms - to connect to what inspires me.
🍂
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Autumn is the season of the metal element. This is the season of contraction and moving inwards. Lungs and large intestine are the organs associated with this element so our focus is strengthening the lungs & large intestine - gathering inspiration & practice which we observe in nature = letting go. Our breath is an expression of the life force moving in us & as us. Deep breathing exercises stimulates lung qi, which contributes to a strong immune system & invites energy to move.
🍂
I am exploring my ability to take in life, to be fully present & open to changes.

What a beautiful experience into womanhood! If only we were all initiated into womanhood in this sacred manner. 💗

For so many of us, when we get our first period, we are not educated on how this chapter in our life is one of the most transforming processes as a young girl moves into womanhood.

🔴That’s me with a white veil over my face!
🔴I was 11 years old.

🌸In my HINDU TAMIL CULTURE, the coming of age ceremony displays the sacredness of our menstrual blood it’s purity, life force, the feminine energy and the female generative power. The ability now to create new life and bear a child.

🌸The young girl has reached maturity and now is welcomed with open arms into womanhood by the whole extended family and friends. This ritual allows her to accept the changes that is happening to her with positivity, excitement, confidence and happiness.

🌸This is her NEW FEMININE IDENTITY and individuation process.

MY CEREMONY ❤️

On my ceremony day after I finished my second menstrual cycle bleed, my family came in bearing with wonderful gifts and my mum and her sisters stayed up all night creating a grand meal for the celebrations.

I sat in the middle of the lounge room while all 10 families gathered around me, roughly 40 people.

I held banana leaves in my hand and each family member poured a little bit of milk onto the top of my head (crown).

My mum began, I felt so embarrassed at the time but felt so honoured at the same time, this big ceremony was happening all for me. This process of pouring milk on my head was so that each family member poured their blessings onto me.

I was then placed sitting up on a chair in a bath, where each of my close family poured water over my head cleansing me and purifying me.

🌞TUMERIC POWDER was then rubbed onto my skin from head to toe. Turmeric powder represents positive, vibrant energy, joy, happiness and the vibration of the sun. Activating my whole bodies frequency.
Tumeric powder is also anti-inflammatory calming the body down from inflammation while in the period.

🌸After having another bath, I was now being dressed in a SAREE with full make up, hair piece, flowers, jewellery and now will be presented to the family in the main area of the home as a woman.

🌸This was my beautiful experience into womanhood.

The quality of the heart is that it loves without discrimination, it just loves, it has no boundaries. The mind is continually setting boundaries. 'This is me, this is not me, this is good, this is bad.'
ღ
The mind is constantly judging, the heart is not judging, the heart is just opening. The heart is without boundaries, so the mind is actually afraid of the heart. That's what the interesting thing is, the battle that goes on in us - you're afraid of your own heart because your heart will give away the store.
ღ
The heart says, ‘You need my car, you need my house, you need my life, take it.’ And the mind is saying, ‘Now wait a minute. You've got your health insurance to pay, keep cool, don't blow the whole scene.’
ღ
So the interesting question is, when and under what conditions can you meet people in such a way that you can keep your heart open without giving up your discriminative wisdom about how to be with another person?
ღ

When you’re living in alignment with your purpose, everything has a feeling of flow to it & you are vibrating at a frequency that matches your intention.
💫
When out of balance, we are literally living out of alignment with our true nature, going against our optimal state of health and well-being.
💫
Our bodies are our greatest teachers - always communicating the truth….if we truly listen. For me, when I am living life misaligned, it has presented itself as anxiety, insomnia or a weakened immune system.
💫
Recognizing misalignment is a positive thing, an amazing opportunity to reevaluate to make the shifts & steps to right direction.

I recently announced on LinkedIn that one of my intentions this year was putting myself out there a lot more - in person. Reconnecting back with old friends & connecting with new people. This means stop hiding behind the computer screen & making more of an effort to meet up with people…in human form. 😁
⫸
This morning I reconnected with an old friend of mine, Richard. We caught up at 7.30am and went for a beach walk in Torquay. I met Richard back in 2015/2016, he was a regular yoga student of mine. I found out he was working as a Senior Change Manager and seeking a career change and if I could help. I had no idea at the time that we would become good friends. I have watched Richard's journey unfold with admiration, establishing his own business as an Executive Coach. This morning I was reminded of why I love what I do and the people I choose to surround myself with. Richard has many gifts, he is very talented in his work but incredibly modest too, which I love.

Welcoming 2023 with open arms!
2022 was a ride and a half so looking forward to dropping into a bit more ease & peace this year. Continue the theme of deeper connection with those I care about & open myself up to new connections. To create nourishing, healing & loving space for people. Most importantly, to continue showing up in my full expression & curiosity.

Every year I give myself a mantra to work with. 2023 is play!! What is yours??

Happy New Year beautiful’s! 💗💗
