25.01.2022 Wake up. Free your mind. Join me for a life enhancing half-day immersion designed to realign mind, body and spirit. Combining an intelligent sequence of Yoga Asanas, Breathwork and Vedic Meditation to dissolve accumulated stresses and expand your mind and consciousness. Despite popular belief, life is meant to be lived in balance and bliss state. As we move into a new year it is the perfect time to re-align and access clarity, focus, creativity and leave what no longer se...rves you in 2020. Prerequisite: You’re a human and have been exposed to 2020 and you have learnt Vedic Meditation or TM Meditation is a process of lightening up, of trusting the basic goodness of what we have and who we are, and of realizing that any wisdom that exists, exists in what we already have. We can lead our life so as to become more awake to who we are and what we’re doing rather than trying to improve or change or get rid of who we are or what we’re doing. The key is to wake up, to become more alert, more inquisitive and curious about ourselves.

25.01.2022 Forever in our hearts. Always on our minds. Lest we forget. We will remember them. ... Generations of tirelessness, bravery and courage to ensure a better future for us all. Im grateful for everyone of the Anzacs and their support crew and those that lived through these challenging times. They truly represented the notion of building a better future for the next generations. A service first approach, not for one but for all. And we are the lucky country because of them. Thank you. Our Great-Grandfather was one of the original Anzacs (his remarkable experience is written in one of the pics) and my grandfather fought in WWII, and my great uncle fought also. Eternally grateful... My past has not defined me, destroyed me, deterred me, or defeated me; it has only strengthened me. ~ Steve Maraboli. #anzacday #lestweforget #anzacs #sky #respect #remembrance #thankyou @ Sydney, Australia See more

24.01.2022 Advice from the Ocean: Be shore of yourself. Come out of your shell. Take time to relax and coast.... Avoid pier pressure. Sea life's beauty. Don't get tide down. Make waves! ~ Unknown. #theoceanismyteacher #maroubrabeach #mornings #sundays #surf #surfer #ocean #meditation #meditateeveryday #gratitude #calm #cool #connected #consciouscreators See more

23.01.2022 Just breathe. Episode 1. Back to basics. Introducing you to some tools and techniques to bring you back to balance. A practice for life, but one that can support you to reduce the Anxiety and overwhelm and remind your mind and your body what its natural state truly is - calm, cool, connected and clear. Turning on the stress response aka fight, flight or fright is great when we need to fight or run away from a saber tooth tiger but not necessary to activate 24/7 like many p...eople are unconsciously doing, turning the fear on, your Amygdala goes into overdrive and you wear yourself out quicker than you can blink your eyes. So lets all take a deep breathe, place our attention on conscious breath as much as we can and operate from our natural stable state. Bliss begins with the breath. We breathe in, and accept all that is new. We breathe out, and release all that has passed. ~ Sara Wiseman. #breathe #meditation #onlinemeditation #calm #clear #anxiety #coronaready #inhaleexhale See more

23.01.2022 Smiles for miles. Hip hip hooray for your birthday @bmbwells, to my youngest sister Bree who lights up a room and can beat anyone at a talkathon ;) a dedicated teacher, mother, wife, sister and friend. Grateful to have you in my life and thank you for having three beautiful girls who I adore to pieces too! I hope your birthday year is filled with cheer and an abundance of good health, happiness and play. ... Sisters make the best friends in the world. ~ Marilyn Monroe. #sisters #siblings #family #love #grateful #happy #smiles #birthday See more

23.01.2022 You are the Ocean. A simple practice I often teach is to imagine the Ocean breathing you, as you Inhale the wave (and belly) rises, as you exhale the wave falls (and belly contracts). Simply close your eyes, place attention on your breath and feel the Ocean merge with your breath. Whilst life is unfolding with much uncertainty and chaos for many, we often add to it by locking into the sympathetic nervous system (also called fight or flight) and you may find yourself feeli...ng like a kettle constantly boiling over and frustrated with people, situations, rules, the weather, whatever it is youll find something to keep reaching the bubbling over point. Well... we are not meant to stay in this state, Mother Nature reserved it for us when we needed to fight or run away from a tiger or similar equivalent in todays modern world, not for when our boss yells at us or someone doesnt do something the way we want. Good news, there are many simple things you can do to remind your body to come back to the parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digest - our natural state) the cool, calm, connected state. Meditate of course and being initiated into a practice ensures you are become a self sufficient meditator for life and a self sufficient human too . But right now... I hear you, what can you do right now before you learn or if youve learnt for the times you only have a few minutes? Well lets go back to the Ocean (and not physically I mean when you close your eyes) breath practice and tune in, let time slip away for a moment and let the Ocean work its magic within you. if the ocean can calm itself, so can you. we are both salt water mixed with air. ~ Nayyirah Waheed @jasminedowling #meditate #vedicmeditation #ocean #sea #breath #anxiety #beginnersmeditation #calm #befree #lovelife See more

23.01.2022 Slow and steady. I know you may feel that you are scrambled or fried eggs right now. Perhaps even an omelette gone wrong... but I want you to know, that you will be stronger, more resilient, innovative and stable because of this. It may take a while, but you will learn to ride the waves with beauty, ease and grace and you will surprise yourself with your innate untapped potential and creativity. Embrace what is, dont fight it. The only thing under your control is you and... how you respond. And sometimes that may be an extra hour of sleep and thats ok. Surround yourself with a cheer squad... Im a pretty good cheerleader ;) everything is a practice right now - acknowledge and feel everything, shift it and maintain belief in the power and beauty of you. I know all of this. Ive felt all of this more than once before and whilst Ive never been through this before Im grateful to be feeling so stable and ready to hold space for any one that needs it. Kids included. For those asking, I am still teaching face to face and following the govt protocol strictly. All courses will be 1-3 people maximum and Im committed to teaching as many people as needed during this time. By the end of this week you will also be able to access my new online courses and Im available for coaching and mentoring zoom calls and am extending my hours. Im hear for you. Please reach out no matter what your circumstance we can work something out. Cronulla - this Thursday to Saturday Maroubra - this Sunday to Tuesday and Thursday to Saturday and courses by appointment also. Being challenged in life is inevitable. Being defeated is optional. ~ Roger Crawford. #learntomeditate #meditate #vedicmeditation #life #freedom #innovate #potential #calm #calminthechaos #slow #stable See more

22.01.2022 What if we looked at this is an invitation to slow down and reconnect with those and what is important to us and accept the inevitable reality of life that change is constant. Rather than resisting what is, stepping into acceptance to allow the next steps to become clearer in the present moment? Like a child who forgets why they cried. Its not matter of not feeling the emotions that are coming up, but its an opportunity to allow them to move through you with ease and grace ...and continue a practice of living every step in the present moment. Slowing down to do less to ultimately achieve more. Im here if you need anything. Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment. ~ Buddha #slow #socialdistancing #yougotthis #move #meditate #create #innovate #change #embrace #presentmoment #maroubra #cronulla See more

22.01.2022 Mondays we flow. Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it. ~ William Arthur Ward. #spring #saturdays #sydney #weekend #ocean #rockpool #swim #swimmer #sparkle #everydaygratitude #bronte #bronterockpool #onefromthearchives

22.01.2022 Coby was not only calm, practical and thoughtful, but she also clarified something profound for me: Less friction, more flow. Learning to meditate with Coby has helped me to be more Centred, less reactive and I can seem to see more of the silver linings. Do it! Andrew @hey.doza I share this because at the end of the day delight and feel fulfilled by the success and increasing happiness and joy of my students. To be able to be the biggest most brilliant expression of you...rself without pushing against life is pretty special. Even more special for me when I get to witness my students go from strength to strength. If you’ve been thinking about learning to meditate, now is as good a time as ever. Be like Andrew... Discover more flow and less friction in your life Enjoy the day and weekend everyone. #meditate #meditation #comesitwithme #mindfulness #presence #flow #happy #bliss #free #successful #innerstrength #vedicmeditation #calm #learntomeditate #cronulla #maroubra #sydney #sutherlandshire See more

22.01.2022 Ok so theres a lot of noise out there. And its important to me that I dont add to the clutter and the chaos... so Im asking for your help and your feedback so I can best support you, your loved ones and your teams through this unprecedented time and elevate to a new way of being to be able to move through this with more ease and grace and become a better, stronger more happier version of yourself through this and maintain ongoing stability, calm and clarity. So... tell ...me, what are you feeling overwhelmed with right now? What do you find is playing out in your mind? How do you want to feel through and beyond this? I am here to support you to create more self-sufficiency, more inner contentedness and more freedom in your mind and body rather than the self imposing inner lock downs a lot of people are finding themselves with. Ive got plenty of ideas and will be releasing a few more things this week. But tell me, what do you want help with most? When patterns are broken, new worlds emerge. ~ Tuli Kupferberg. #meditation #mindfulness #meditate #move #freeyourmind #masteryourlife #innovate #selfcare #growth #maroubrabeach #cronulla #theshire See more

21.01.2022 Checking in, how are you feeling? And are you allowing it to move through you. Whats your experience at the moment? A gentle reminder to let you know its ok to feel whatever youre feeling, but lets use this opportunity to shift out of the draining thoughts and into the radiating ones. Sharing some thoughts and honouring feelings cuz our government doesnt seem to be able to. I know it can feel turbulent, scary, uneasy, but were all in this together, lets grow stronger... together. What if we looked at this as an opportunity to spotlight where our blind spots are, limiting beliefs and non serving thoughts and shift into a greater version of ourselves? Stay strong. What do you want help with the most? Thoughts will lead you in circles. Silence will bring you back to your centre.

19.01.2022 Natures antidote. We are such powerful human beings, in any given moment we can switch our state to that of sunshine, its just sometimes we get caught in the inside rain, well I know I certainly have before... So a reminder to me and perhaps to you, for the next time you feel blue to remember that inside you is the brightest sunshine of all. Dont banish the blue, it has its role after all, but know that you are literally a moment away from choosing to be the sunshine.... Heres a practical technique to help you navigate the emotional adventures of this coming month and float more with your face to the sun... when you feel yourself travelling down the negative or self destructive path: Stop Take a deep belly breathe or 3 Close your eyes and Remind your body what sunshine feels like, visualise the sunshine revive you, warm you, enliven you, shift you and brighten you. See it, feel it, smell it, even imagine tasting it. Shift your state, change your life. Visualisation is so powerful, hope this brings some brightness to your week. Keep your face to the sun and you will never see the shadows. Helen Keller. #sunshine #sunday #spring #shiftyourstate #meditation #presence #visualisation #rewireyourbrain #happy See more

19.01.2022 Happiness. A feeling, a fleeting moment, a parade of beauty and play. Something you can access within, anytime. Some quotes to share that spoke to me and hopefully to you, no matter what youre going through. What we resists persists, so jump into the flow of the river as it descends into the ocean and accept what is with ease and grace and happiness will present itself to you. Happy International Happiness Day. I hope you can celebrate with a smile or two inside and out.

18.01.2022 First one in is a lucky egg Just in case you forgot, we all are gifted the same amount of time, what you choose to do with it, is your choice. Choose wisely. Every time you feel a pang of jealousy at someone else’s feed / post / accomplishment... stop what you’re doing, close your eyes if only for a minute, connect to what it’s triggering, what you feel you’re missing out on, what you feel you could accomplish yourself or could have and...... FLIP THE SCRIPT... Say thank you that your awareness has been brought to attention on an area of your life you’d like to create, change, evolve, free and then take one small step towards cultivating a life you love. Not because of what someone else is doing but because what someone else is doing has reminded you that you too can create a life of joy if you allow yourself to. Your life is your story, write well, edit often. ~ Anonymous. #cheerstotheweekend #mothernature #lovelife #allshades #meditate #mindfulness #movement #exploreoutdoors #swim #ocean See more

18.01.2022 Birthdays are better with love. Another trip around the sun, a whole lot of love, lessons and wisdom. And a tired bunny tonight! Thanks to everyone for reaching out with phone calls, texts, messages and more, the true beauty of this interconnected world we live in. Feeling blessed and grateful for all your love. The older I get, the more I appreciate the simpler things in life - good company, kind hearts, natures magic, mums chocolate cake , hugs and plenty of play. Li...fe owes us nothing just because we are granted it. But, we do owe our own lives everything. Our life is a gift. When you see that for yourself, you see that the lives of others is also a gift. There's no such thing as "gone too soon" or "before their time." Our end date is not guaranteed. We are given just one life. And, that life- no matter how young or how old it is when it leaves us in the physical form - is put here for us to learn, grow and love in some capacity. Your legacy doesn't have to wait until you're dead and gone to be seen. Live it with each breath you take. Live it through your actions toward others. Live it with the time you have now. I want to see my life's impact during my time here on earth. Posthumous appreciation is overrated. ~ Jamie A.

17.01.2022 Allow yourself to grow. It’s so easy to get caught in the comparison trap... so don’t like a seed needs time and nourishment to grow, so do you. Ask yourself, what do I need to do, to be to blossom into the infinite potential of me? And go do / be that. Instead of looking to others all the time, close your eyes, quiet down, listen within. Incredible change happens in your life when you decide to take control of what you have power over instead of craving control over wh...at you don't. ~ Steve Maraboli #growyourawareness #expandyourplayground #beyou #freeyou #meditate #livefree #empowered #meditation #vedicmeditation #growthmindset See more

17.01.2022 Ready to play. In a world filled with mixed messages and people, places, power, spaces and more vying for your attention, it can be easy to lose sight of whats your thought and your opinion vs what youve picked up or have been seeded. So if theres only one thing you do for yourself its to plant your own seeds, do your own gardening and listen to your own soul. I cant tell you how long I had been told this before the penny dropped. And then it dawned on me thats trul...y what Im so dedicated to, empowering others to see their own light, their own truths and gifts and to enjoy diving within to expand into an ever evolving greater version of themselves. Life is short. Follow your bliss. Dance, laugh, run, smile, swim, move, play, be free.

15.01.2022 Nothing is permanent. Just a gentle reminder as we each weave our way through the unchartered territories. Remember to breathe and know that were all in this together and will all move through it together. Be curious about what gifts and growth there are in the challenges you face. Here are two simple practices that can take 5mins - 30mins depending on how much time youve got.... #1 BELLY BREATHING Inhale for 4 seconds, belly rises Exhale for 4 seconds, belly falls. Repeat. Do this for 1-5mins every day and/or when ever you feel the stress/anxiety creeping in. #2 JOURNALING Dont knock it till you try it, unfiltered, just write anything that comes out. 1-3pages. If you want to go deeper I suggest The Artists Way. But for now, keep it really simple and follow the rule of better out that in and its incredibly beneficial to clear the head and the heart by getting it out and onto paper with no judgment, just action. It can still be a good day if the only thing you did was breathe. Johnny Lung #breathe #meditate #move #laugh #love #connecttocalm #play #practice #nothingispermanent

15.01.2022 Life is beautiful. Sometimes it might not feel that way and that’s ok, for it is the contrast that teaches us to grow and discover and direct our lives how best we can. Don’t banish your emotions, but do let them pass through you and guide you to your next step. See the thing is, 2020 has taught us so much and will continue to do so, my biggest takeaway right now is to be more honest and compassionate with myself, and to keep moving forward even when the path is unclear, be...cause the path is never truly clear, but your state of mind can be. One of the simplest ways to shift your state and move your mood into a positive and abundant space is to start simple - choose one thing that lights you up - it could be Catching a sunrise once a week, A weekly dinner or phone call with a friend(s) or a Friday night family dinner Being amongst nature and reminding yourself how expansive we can be workout at the gym or outside Think less about what habits you want to change and more about what you want to add... Choose something that can not be bought, that you’d deemed priceless. This is a fun exercise to do with friends and kids too, giving kids the autonomy to choose something that lights them up, that you can’t get on YouTube or Amazon ;) Choose one thing to start this weekend / coming week and repeat every week till the end October, do let me know how you go! This picture encompasses so much of what I love - early mornings, keeping healthy and fit, the warmth of the sun, ocean dips, and surrounding myself with like minded encouraging people. Choosing more of this in the life I’m directing Life isn’t meant to be lived perfectlybut merely to be LIVED. Boldly, wildly, beautifully, uncertainly, imperfectly, magically LIVED. ~ Mandy Hale #meditatedontmedicate #meditation #mothernature #healthhacks #babysteps #vulnerability #ocean #sunshine #fitness #cronulla #bekindtoyourself #consciouscreators See more

15.01.2022 Evolve yourself. Walked passed this the other day and the title felt fitting for this time we all find ourselves in and it reminded me to allow the unfolding versus resist it and I felt these words come to me: During the evolution of you and me and the world as it will reveal itself to be... There will be times that feel very low, and others that feel oh so high and moments that leave you feeling shy or wanting to eat a whole lotta pie. But no matter what the day or emotion presents, remember its time for you to go inside and connect and realise that the answers you seek are not in the haze or the media bubble. They exist in the quietude you are allowing yourself to meet. So take each day and each moment one at a time and let yourself be honest and raw and free and know that you have many great things to do and to create, but none are more important than simply choosing to be. So lets be. (p.s. Id choose chocolate but pie sounded better, although apple pie ) Sublime upon sublime scarcely presents a contrast, and we need a little rest from everything, even the beautiful. ~ Victor Hugo. #meditation #mindfulness #evolution #freeyourmind #contrast #wellbeing #beherenow #presentmoment #allthefeels See more

14.01.2022 Inside happiness. // Mindful May. Heres an experiment to run in May... for a week, track how much time youre spending on your phone each day and then reduce it by half the following week or by a quarter and then a quarter the following week and each day replace that time with Nature, Meditating, walking, reading and writing and let me know how you feel. Up for it? DM me and Ill send you instructions to follow from this Friday. An experiment, not a challenge... an oppor...tunity to let the curious and creative side of you out to play.

14.01.2022 The subtle. The art of listening, embracing the slowing down. Surrendering to our higher selves. The clarity you seek isnt in the doing, its in your being, in the quiet, the stillness, the subtle. Lose time listening to the waves of the Ocean, the wind blowing the trees, the sound of birds singing and youll be surprised what else you hear. This time, is different for all, yet, their is a shared experience ready to all and were invited to connect to an expansion of hap...piness. And we can do that by simply diving within every day, establish in being and allowing the flow to unfold. The word listen contains the same letters as the word silent. ~ Alfred Brendel. #listen #slow #freedom #lovelife #happiness #expansion #meditate #subtle #inthenow #nature #sunrise #maroubrabeach #sydney See more

14.01.2022 Peace out. Hello Weekend Did you know that being up before the sunrise brings peace of mind and freshness to the senses ultimately providing you more balance to you and your day. According to Ayurveda there are more loving qualities (sattvic) in Nature at this time. And the colours of the sky are pretty special too. ... My morning routine has been early 4:30am starts, wake up, wash my face and teeth, make a herbal tea, meditate, get to the gym by 5:45am and then a jump in the Ocean and watching the Sun greet us. Feeling grateful and a little tired now, so Im currently not moving from the couch but its well worth it. If youve been wanting to experience the morning bliss, here are a few other reasons for you to go from sleepy to clear eyes 1. Its free 2. Its beautiful and a sensory experience for the eyes and the soul 3. See above, more peace of mind and clarity 4. Nature helps to reduce Anxiety 5. Access to Fresh air, ahh breathe it in 6. Its quiet cuz everyone else is sleeping 7. Healing, a neatural recharge from Dr Vitamin D to lift the spirits & open the heart 8. Your nervous system loves it, Lack of exposure to the sun is now linked to PTSD 9. Youll be flooded in gratitude, for the magnificence of Mother Nature and living in Aus. 10. Any of that panic youre carrying can dissipate and you can stay calm in any storm (and many need that right now ) And if you meditate these will become even more powerful and noticeable to you not to mention easier to get out of bed! I find its good to remind ourselves of the many benefits of things that are good for us, but that we dont always do, to inspire us perhaps? Has this been helpful? Id love to know... What I know for sure is that every sunrise is like a new page, a chance to right ourselves and receive each day in all its glory. Each day is a wonder. ~ Oprah Winfrey #sunrise #balance #meditate #movement #fitness #mothernature #maroubra #feelgood

14.01.2022 Always time for play. From a young age were schooled into the 5/2 split of a week, working our way through the week and hanging for the weekends. So in this time we find ourselves in, sit quietly with the opportunities its revealing to you, to flip the script and create a new kind of week, one where play takes a front seat in all aspects of your life. Something Ive been sitting with lately having jumped off the proverbial hamster wheel a fair while ago and realising ...how disconnected and out of balance I had become back then. Only to realise that balance is our natural state and something we all can access if we so allow. So... I tempt you with an offering to open your mind, your heart, your freedom to design a new way of living this one finite life youve been gifted. What would you do if there were no limits? We dont stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing. ~ George Bernard Shaw #play #meditate #transcend #connect #freedom #unlimited #balance #befree #ocean #cronulla #lovelife #changethegame #unbounded #vedicmeditation @ Cronulla Beach, New South Wales, Australia See more

14.01.2022 Challenge accepted. Thank you to my beautiful friend @brownpapernutrition for the nomination. Im so grateful to be surrounded by so many strong courageous and loving women in my life. Competition is ugly, camaraderie is attractive, may we shine the light on each other and brighten the way for future generations.... If you havent received a note from someone, heres your invitation. Show us the beauty of your soul, the depth of your being, the light of your truth...... To all the women locally and globally who are not afforded the respect, dignity and love that you deserve unconditionally. I stand with you. A strong woman is one who feels deeply and loves fiercely. Her tears flow as abundantly as her laughter. A strong woman is both soft and powerful, she is both practical and spiritual.

13.01.2022 Hello! Ive been in a bubble continuing my learning and inner deep diving away from the likes of Social Media and Ive enjoyed the clarity its provided / providing. But... as someone wise once said nobody puts baby in a corner? and perhaps thats what Ive been doing, enjoying time off the grid but equally realising that its time to step out of the corner that Im pretty good at backing myself into... can any of you relate??? So here I AM to begin again sharing my voi...ce, my learnings, how I manage my inner critic and hopefully some of that might just help one of you or provide you with an entertaining story or two . But really with this time away what Ive been able to get clarity on is my why... and so very simply its to empower you to empower yourself and to rise above the noise and the clutter and pave your own way with your own voice and own light. But of course before that happens, we must empower ourselves and let go day by day moment by moment of the stories that no longer serve us (ahem... a story for another day of Coby the recovering perfectionist) and my o my what a myriad of empowerment challenges Ive lived through these last few years. And... whilst I love a good quote like the rest of us, I have a love affair with depth, getting under the skin of what makes us tick, why I go left when I want to go right and how I can walk the talk instead of talk the walk and become the director of my own life as I hope for you too! More to come. So for now, hello, Im still alive and thriving and ready for play. Self-transcendence gives us joy in boundless measure. When we transcend ourselves, we do not compete with others. We do not compete with the rest of the world, but at every moment we compete with ourselves. We compete only with our previous achievements. And each time we surpass our previous achievements, we get joy. ~ Sri Chinmoy #happilymeditated #meditate #vedicmeditation #beyou #transcend #gobeyondthenoise #directyourlife #create #befree #play #cronulla #maroubra #sydney #winter See more

13.01.2022 Do read. Stay Positive, educated and vigilant to reduce the spread. x

13.01.2022 Social distancing. Most of all, I look forward to the day we can all physically hug each other again. for now I am grateful for the connections and conversations this situation is opening up. Today I met one of my neighbours properly and had a deep and meaningful conversation, someone Ive only ever said hi to on the street and now we are all choosing to knock down any so called walls that may have existed. Whilst there may be worry and frustration and no toilet paper (ye...p WW didnt deliver it in my order and Ive not been hoarding... so who knows what will happen haha) there is still light and love to share. May we bathe each other in gratitude and care instead of anger and blame. The more grateful I am, the more beauty I see.

13.01.2022 Its cool to be kind. Here in Australia its @RuOKday and whilst we all know that every day is R u OK day (or will eventually learn over time) - This day acts as a beacon of light in raising awareness around Mental Health for ourselves and those around us. Truth is, life can feel overwhelming at times, things happen or dont happen and you may find yourself navigating your way through storms and dark clouds, that, if left to their own devices could or have hovered over y...ou like a bad smell and before you know it that fleeting moment of sadness has pulled up a chair and become a part of your day, week or year... There is so much to say here, but I wanted to say thank you to those that have shined their light and held space for me when Ive needed it and I hope I have and will continue to be there for you when you need it. We have this illusion that we should often figure things out all by ourselves, gosh knows I have felt that way... but sometimes that can feel so distant and on the road to realisation, its nice to know that we have the support and kindness of others when we have forgotten how to give it to ourselves. Be ok to not be ok and to reach out for support, and never, never never underestimate the power of a smile, a hug for another or being an ear for someone. Some days feel brighter, some days a little cloudier but the more we look out for each other, the more we can help to reduce the stigmas associated with Mental Illness and perhaps ignite the spark in another to a future of Mental Wellness. People will forget what you said, People will forget what you did, But people will never forget how you made them feel. ~ Maya Angelou. #ruokday #itscooltobekind #shinealight #meditatedontmedicate #mentalhealth #meditation #mindfulness #reachout #love #wellness #wellbeing See more

12.01.2022 Transcend the chaos. Enrich and Enliven your Mind Body and Soul. Its well known that the strength and character of a person or business is discovered during the challenging times. And whilst some may feel lost, anxious and out of control right now and at other times in life, its the practices and techniques that we use in our toolbox that allow us to respond vs react to the unknown. Whilst I can not control this Virus that is sweeping the world, I can teach you how to Mas...ter your Mind and therefore your life. Im still running courses in Maroubra and Cronulla, both private and group ones to support you now and to build the future you. Come sit with me and learn Vedic Meditation and learn how to cultivate creativity, clarity, inner stability and happiness no matter what is happening around you. Ego says, Once everything falls into place, Ill feel peace. Spirit says, Find your peace, and then everything will fall into place. ~ Marianne Williamson. #meditate #vedicmeditation #transcend #chaos #connecttocalm #create #befree #balance @ Maroubra, New South Wales, Australia See more

09.01.2022 Free Space. Despite what we’ve been taught, we’re not meant to run on a treadmill 24hrs a day 7 days a week. Yet, we get pretty at good at trying to keep up... the magic is when you learn that you don’t have to choose busy, instead you can choose effective, choose balance, choose freedom and flow. There is beauty, ease and growth that comes with creating space in our lives on a daily basis. Learning to meditate with me provides spaciousness and clarity to your life amongst ...better sleep, higher energy and a happier healthier lifestyle. And... it’s easy to learn and practice ongoing too. Learn to Meditate with me and become a self-sufficient Meditator and get more out of life! Course dates for the next quarter are now available - link in bio, message me for more info or if dates don’t work. When I learnt to meditate, I felt burnt out, foggy, tired and knew that there was more to life than the harried existence I was living, it wasn’t about stepping away from success but redefining success and accessing a simpler more effortless and enriching experience of life. And whatever that looks like to you, it’s available if you allow it. Life is finite, live it, love it, don’t punish or flog it. Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom. ~ Viktor E.

06.01.2022 ENERGY FLOWS WHERE ATTENTION GOES. Sharing some thoughts and tips to support you during this time. The latest Coronavirus has certainly made sure we know who it is, contributing to rising anxiety levels, hysteria and a feeling of unrest for many. So what can you do to become the master of your reality now and in the future to cultivate stability, calmness, clarity and strength rather than sleeping with the fear monkeys. 1. Become the master witness and director of your thou...ghts, choose abundance, hope and faith over fear 2. Practice belly breathing for 1-5mins each day and in those moments you feel yourself getting swept away 3. Meditate, meditate, meditate 4. Keep moving, go to the gym and practice extra vigilance or workout at home if you need to, but keep moving 5. Spend time every day observing nature, watch the leaves on the trees being moved by the wind, listen to the birds singing, the waves crashing. 6. Laugh - let happiness be your Antidote. Once we learn to stably regulate our attention, we can be fully present in our joy, compassion, and love; in turn, we can deny oxygen to our anger, anxiety, and self-cherishing. This is the first step towards lasting inner tranquility. ~ Kyle Parton. #meditation #movement #vedicmeditation #laughter #positivity #maroubra #cronulla

05.01.2022 Focus begets flow. An invitation for your attention - choose to go beyond all the man made distractions and inner critic ones too! Yes were living in a world wired with distractions, but if you so choose, in each every moment, to connect to the presence, you will realise that true beauty and flow is in the attention we choose to keep. Learning how to quiet the inner critic and play in pure presence, the now, the flow, the sweetness of life... well thats where the magic h...appens. Quiet your mind. Revitalise your life. A note to self. The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new. ~ Socrates. #focus #presence #now #flow #beauty #freedom #lovelife #embracechange #meditate #vedicmeditation #ocean #surfer #saturdays See more

05.01.2022 Shine on. In times of challenge and crisis, the best thing we can do for ourselves and for others is to radiate our light. Be the brightest shiniest version of ourselves and commit to play no matter whats going on around us or in our minds. The trick is, that playful child that has no inhibitions still exists within you, go there, feel the freedom and bring it forth. And sometimes that means taking an afternoon nap, a slow walk, an imaginary trip to wonderland. Whatever i...t is, let it breathe, awaken the baseline happiness that is gagging for freedom. And stop being so hard on yourself (if thats the critic youre taking) Ive decided to let my inner critic take the holidays I cant at the moment and Ill stay here and play I hope this week brings renewed strength, and courage and a deeper sense of knowing that you are brilliant as you are, no matter what life is throwing at you. This is the real secret of life -- to be completely engaged with what you are doing in the here and now. And instead of calling it work, realize it is play.

03.01.2022 Sunday slow. Read a book, write a story, sing a song, dance like nobodys watching, move your mind, listen to music, make a cake, get crafty, take a nap, watch a movie, facetime a friend, create a funny meme, calm your mind, find stillness in the chaos. Stay home, think of others, place your attention on the joys and beauty of this slowing down. Money will come, but dont let it take over your entire thought process, choose this time to connect to the strength and infinite... potential that exists within and happiness will find you and stay to play. Slow down, and everything you are chasing will come around and catch you. ~John De Paola. #sundays #sundayslow #stayhome #ocean #sunrise #archives #water #slow #meditate #dolessaccomplishmore #freeyourmind See more

03.01.2022 Hip hop hooray. A different kind of Easter this year, missed the camaraderie of most of my fam bam and the many Huggles from all my niblings but zoom did alright... Equally feeling grateful for everything. Practising not taking anything for granted and reminding myself that theres so much more I can do in this world to make it a better place. Plus I am a little high on chocolate so balance is in full play ... Happiest of Easters to you and your families close and afar, may we use this time to become kinder, more free and more conscious. A mind that is racing over worries about the future or recycling resentments from the past is ill equipped to handle the challenges of the moment. By slowing down, we can train the mind to focus completely in the present. Then we will find that we can function well whatever the difficulties. That is what it means to be stress-proof: not avoiding stress but being at our best under pressure, calm, cool, and creative in the midst of the storm. ~ Eknath Easwaran. #easter #sunday #slow #presentmomentawareness #meditated #cool #calm #connected #creative #sydney #stressproof @ Sydney, Australia

So I take this word reconciliation and I use it to reconcile people back to Mother Earth, so they can walk this land together and heal one another because shes the one that gives birth to everything we see around us, everything we need to survive. ~ Max Dulumunmun Harrison. #earthday #motherearth #love #space #presence #meditate #befree #maroubra #maroubrabeach #ocean #surfer #socialdistancing @ Maroubra Beach

01.01.2022 Stretch, surf, rinse, repeat. So many mornings at the beach the last few weeks. Appreciating the local life, sunrises, the surf and the magnificence of the Ocean. Be like the Ocean, allow the waves to come and allow them to go. Breathe. Oh and laugh... it is truly the best medicine for the soul. If you need anything, I am here. Ill be running online live events next week and for the weeks following. Ive got courses running until lockdown and Ive space if you want to lear...n this week or early next week, please reach out.
