21.01.2022 More rounds of workshopping on Mindfulness and Resilience Building with more teams this week . We focused on understanding the model of anxiety including the dynamics of worry and stress, how to identify this in your unique circumstance and how to manage these with tips and techniques. Aside from being crucial to wellbeing, this is an essential tool to supporting workplace performance, work-life balance in times of adversity . Reach out if you have any questions!

21.01.2022 Session 3 of my @monash_uni Mentoring sessions this week, with Michelle, an aspiring nutritionist who is smart, resourceful and ready to kick off life in the real working world . Excited to watch Michelle make her way through the world of wellness, healing and spreading smiles x

Gita has been a part of Ananda Wellness right from the very start, supporting and pitching in with so many things that it feels like she has always been around... but she is now officially a part of it all! . 2021 here we come!

20.01.2022 Waiting and waiting for the day I can fly back home to Sri Lanka to go into my favourite little ayurvedic herbal wonderland dispensary where I spend hours chatting to the owners who have known us for years and years, learning all the parampara wisdom (passed down through lineage and not often documented), smelling all woods and herbs and oils and powders, listening to all the noisy buses and cars honking their horns and to then head home; hot, sweaty and mildly annoyed at the humidity and what it does to my hair but soul-full and smiling. . #Srilanka #paradise #healing #ayurveda #islandhome #heartland #anandawellnessaustralia

19.01.2022 Lockdown again. Fingers crossed this all ends soon, and we have a return to normalcy (of sorts) soon. This new and unexpected (again, kind of, because nothing is certain lately!) pause has helped me practice in a new way: a short stretch and pranayama in the morning before meditation and longer practice that takes a life of its own in the late afternoon / evenings . Yoga has helped to keep me grounded in the last few days. I am so very grateful to be able to know and contin...ue to learn this science and art, every day . What has your anchor been? . . Please feel free to reach out if you need to connect or any support x See more

18.01.2022 I’ve been quiet on the socials this last week. Alongside a Spring cleanse that I have been following I have also worked with a diverse range of client groups practicing everything from mindfulness, explaining ayurvedic philosophy, linking back to mental health and emotional regulation, teaching yoga & meditation and so much more. One of the silver linings in this time of intense change is that so many of us, individuals and groups alike, are opening up our eyes to the importa...nce of pausing, space, prioritising self care in many unique ways. Not everyone recalibrates in the same way. Sometimes a pause, doing less or setting a boundary can be the biggest form of self care, and I am glad to see this being considered and actioned . Here’s a BTS to a resilience and mindfulness session I facilitated for the team of a local Senator’s office last afternoon. Honoured as always to hold space in this way. See more

18.01.2022 24 Degrees in Melbourne today! I worked from a sunny spot at home and soaked up the warmth but made sure to put on a soothing and nourishing skin relief mask, later. Here is a quick aloe and calendula (plus a few other bits and bobs) face mask I put together for today . We’ll cover more topics like this including daily wellness habits and tips within our Spring Group Cleansing program (I’ll be cleansing along with you!) running from 12-26 September 2020 to prepare for Spring feeling light, fresh and revitalised . Link in bio to sign up!

16.01.2022 BTS of my Training Day. I blocked out this afternoon to explore various streams of Narrative Therapy research to support some Mental Health programs I’m creating. Can’t wait to start introducing these into regular sessions soon! . Continuous learning, research and development is so very vital in this time of change for us all. What interesting things have you been researching or studying lately? Share or DM!

14.01.2022 I usually get peckish mid-morning or feel like I want only some light nourishment after yoga practice. Heavy foods can feel tamasic after all that movement and transcending in meditation . I’ve started to enjoy nourishing options like this veggie drink I made on the go with the broth from a pot of bitter green kale that I boiled up the day before (for a meal that I enjoy most weeks). Here, I heated and infused the broth with spices (turmeric, cinnamon, black pepper etc) and macadamia nut oil. Great for the digestion, skin health and generally feeling a glow! . What’s your go to snack? Share or DM! x

14.01.2022 Snippet of the last session in our weekly dawn meditation series, that took place from July all the way to end September . We finished with an exploration of Ananda, inner bliss and joy, that completely stems from within. Not derived from the chase of external pleasure, but an internal organic joy that is always available to you. I will write on this soon . What an incredible honour to hold space for and sit every week with this lovely group of people. So many new and renewed... meditations journeys were shared and hopefully will continue from here . Next session to be announced in the coming weeks, with a slightly altered format. Stay tuned or message me if you’d like to join in. Have a great day all x See more

10.01.2022 I made these beautiful turnip pickles that add a tanginess and digestive boost to all the fresh and cooling green salads I've been having on warmer days. It's a nice way to round out a dish adding a dash of sour tang to the greens. Quite a bit of turnip pickle used here, but this was a base to which a lot more fresh leaves, cucumber, other veg etc were added. I also chopped up the turnips to smaller pieces, and this was for about 2-3 servings. If doing for one, use half the amount . . .

07.01.2022 Black sesame is one of the most revered and hard working of all oils in ayurveda. It is excellent to use for massage as it is penetrates deep into the tissues, is exceptionally moisturising and nourishing, and excellent for balancing vata and kapha dosha. It is traditionally used for daily self-massage (abhyanga). Apply in your morning shower and rinse off. . We use bottles and bottles of this wonder oil in clinic and also recommend it for daily abhyanga as part of an ayurved...ic lifestyle practice. Our bottles now come with a pump dispenser for greater convenience - no more struggling with oil and glass bottles in the shower :) . These are very popular so please call ahead to check availability. Click & Collect Available. . .

07.01.2022 You will notice a dominance of yellow flowers in the spring, like these ones here acting like a signature over the earth to guide us to which herbs are good for right now. Generally speaking, most yellow flowers, especially like dandelion, benefit the liver and cleansing. This is useful now as we cleanse out the cold of winter and prepare for the warmer days of Spring. A nice time to try a dandelion tea

04.01.2022 When discussing wellness habits and routines, you might often have heard of this suggestion to wake up peacefully, without checking phones, socials, emails, calendars. Quite often a part of the ‘programming’ in modern life will be to reach for a device, sometimes with eyes still half closed. Without giving our psyche, energy, minds, selves a chance to recalibrate to the waking state from the dream state . We might carry on then, overtly or subtly impacted by what we see - the... ticking over our to-do lists of having to be somewhere, do the next thing; the inward groan or twinge of being reminded of something you’d rather forget... the list is endless! The point is, the impact of this cannot be understated - right there we give away some part of our power by allowing an influence in before we can set an intention, recalibrate fully . Right after you wake up, you enter a ‘theta’ frequency which is almost a hypnotic state, perfect for reprogramming, intention setting . Next time you wake up, make the most of this window of time by focusing on recalibrating, taking a moment to reflect, set an intention, make an affirmation, smile, breathe doing whatever makes you shine, and giving yourself permission to keep the ‘drainers’ at bay. Take back your power and notice the shift it brings to your day, week, month.. and life! . Reach out if any questions and please feel free to reply with your updates x See more

04.01.2022 October 10th, World Mental Health Day - The overall objective of World Mental Health Day is to raise awareness of mental health issues around the world and to mobilize efforts in support of mental health (www.who.int) . The Day provides an opportunity for all stakeholders working on mental health issues to talk about their work, and what more needs to be done to make mental health care a reality for people worldwide . Reiterating my messaging from recently - continue to conn...ect with your community and beyond. Reach out if you don't feel good; reach out if you DO feel good and share that joy. Ask others today and every day if they are OK, if you sense the need. Even where it’s not easy to ask or if you feel awkward remember that just listening when they speak, sitting quietly together and simple acts of kindness make the difference. This may then open things up and be the safe space that was always needed . . . #mentalhealth #kindness #community #worldmentalhealthday #WHO #anandawellnessaustralia https://www.anandawellness.com.au/counselling

03.01.2022 Practice this morning, trying out Eka Pada Adho Mukha Svanasana in a diagonal balancing hold. I fell over so many times but then worked out that when you press into the midline, pigeon toe the feet firmly and switch on the core and shoulders (and focus!!) the balance comes . Challenging but fun! Anyone else tried this? . Happy Wednesday all x

01.01.2022 After nearly 3 months of practicing together, our weekly dawn meditation sessions are coming to a close. What an honour it has been to share time and space with everyone each week, to feel and offer support. Is this the new look of meditation circles for the next little while? Definitely not something we’d have imagined in the past but it has worked... and as always, it’s important to do what you can, in whatever way you can. . These sessions were available from mid July, all... through August and now to the end of September. It was heart warming to see personal practices develop from the many different levels they were at, stories of connecting with visuals and memories and wide open planes of stillness shared with me each week and people telling me they feel more peaceful, calm and centred. Feeling good, feeling less stressed. . I am hoping it has offered peace and joy and left every one with a spark of inspiration to sit down with themselves every day and connect with the infinite potential within and around us . Last session takes place tomorrow (Wed) 7am AEST, and is free and open to all. . Link in bio to website for registration and a Zoom link if you need a reminder before the session x See more
