25.01.2022 When the going gets tough, find a hobby to invigorate and challenge you. For me, its the ocean. An always unpredictable force of nature. #oceanswim #lovetheocean #naturerules #stillnessinthestorm @ Kurrawa Beach

25.01.2022 When the water is clear at Noosa, its really clear. The combination of clear blue sky and clear blue ocean winter days at Noosa is magical. If youre interested in some internal clarity and calm, meditation is a great pathway. My Friday morning meditation mini-retreats are starting up again July 31. If you can make the trip to the Upper Brookfield Sanctuary, home of Celia Roberts Yoga and Meditation Retreats for these once monthly sessions, the combination of a beautiful setting in nature, a small group of like-minded people, and a focus on relaxing meditation practices may help your inner world to flow. #clearwater #clearmind #meditate #flow Follow this link for more info and bookings: https://www.bodyandmindflow.com.au/monthly-meditation-mini/

01.01.2022 More than just ancient wisdom, modern studies demonstrate the transformative power of gratitude. One popular way to experience more gratitude is an exercise called three good things: Each evening before bed, take a moment for yourself and consider three things that happened that day that you appreciate, small or large. Write those down, notice over time what they have in common, how they vary, how these things make you feel. Try talking with a partner, friend or loved one, asking each other for their three goods things.

01.01.2022 Since being introduced to aerial yoga, involving suspended hammocks, and getting to share these learning experiences with my friend and expert aerial therapeutics teacher Renae at CreativeBodyFlow, Ive come to view these aerial opportunities as a wonderful way into an integrated body-mind activity, and one where flow experiences can be facilitated.
