25.01.2022 I think I have half of Melbourne on the hunt for loveheart shaped eucalyptus leaves that I package up with my Fruitful Feelings orders when I can find them. I've mostly been getting them from one beautiful but tiny tree near my house and everywhere I go I'm checking eucalyptus trees to see if they're the right ones. It's been quite fun searching. Good news- I found a new supplier so I can give the tiny tree a chance to grow!... You might like to notice the trees around you, maybe you have some leaves too!

25.01.2022 I know for many of us this lockdown has brought up lots of emotions, memories, fears, grief and trauma. We're now faced with more setbacks to plans we were cautiously making, for reconnecting (or alone time ), for our health, rebuilding our businesses and for our kids. I saw this sunflower on a walk (that I wouldn't have had if I'd been working) yesterday and I thought, yes it has lost a few petals (a bit like us) but that's not going to stop it from shining. I know it's no...t always that simple. For now, where you can, remember to breathe, soak up the sun, take advantage of any opportunities to slow down and be present where maybe you had fallen back into the busyness of before, rest, have plenty of water and Vitamin C. If this latest lockdown has been too much for you, I hope this flower brightens your day and I am here to help you work through the stress you are holding so you can shine again.

24.01.2022 Fruitful Feelings are now being stocked at The Burger Moore Cafe in Ringwood East thanks to Dave and the team. Dave has been opening his cafe every day during lockdown and is great at supporting local artists. He also has a collection of artwork for sale (including a few dinosaurs I've painted). Fruitful Feelings are a set of affirmation cards I painted and created to help children better understand and talk about how they feel. The deck contains 35 fruit picture cards, each ...with a different positive message. It also includes a fold out guide on how you can use the cards and simple and fun ideas to help kids feel more balanced, resilient and integrated in body and mind. If you are a local and would like to get a better idea of how to use Fruitful Feelings before you buy, head to Dave's. They're on the counter, extremely close to the delicious vanilla slices.

24.01.2022 Some very exciting news, my Fruitful Feelings chakra cards are being printed this week and I should have them by the end of the week! If you missed my previous posts you can still place an order, please message me to reserve your set. Some more info about Fruitful Feelings:...

The cards were hand-painted and created by me (with lots of support and input from my helpers! ). Graphic design, printing and packaging sourced locally in Melbourne. If you have pre-ordered a set (thank you!) I will be in touch to arrange postage soon. Erica @ Mitcham, Victoria

23.01.2022 A card for tonight: "I am supported". Did you know that feeling unsupported often relates to lower back, hip and knee pain? If you have problems in these areas, where might you be feeling unsupported in your life? Do you feel unsupported by someone else? Yourself? Life? What can you do to help yourself feel more supported now? Your Base Chakra relates to having your basic needs met, physical health and safety. ... You can support your Base Chakra by going for walks (thankfully we can still do this here in Melbourne) and connecting to the Earth/nature. For some more ways to support your Base Chakra, see what your kids are up to. They naturally know what to do; climbing trees, splashing in puddles, collecting sticks and rocks, digging and taking their shoes and socks off (even in winter! ) to get as close to the Earth as possible. There is so much outside of our control right now but this is a great place to start. There is so much outside of our control right now but this is a great place to start. If you could use some extra support, I am still offering online kinesiology sessions. My Fruitful Feelings chakra cards are also now available for purchase so you and the little ones in your life can have some emotional support from me in a box whenever you need it. To order a set of cards, you can use the link in my profile: bit.ly/fruitfulfeelingsorders. Erica

22.01.2022 I am very excited to say that Fruitful Feelings have arrived and they are beautiful! I am busily (and happily!) packaging them up. I feel like an elf getting ready for Christmas! If you've already confirmed your order I will send yours to you in the next few days, I have already sent some out so won't be long now. ... If we had arranged for you to pick up your cards and you'd like me to post them now please send me a message with your address. I have loved creating these cards, thank you all for your support, I am still blown away by the response. I have a few sets left (yes only a few!). If you'd like to order a set please send me a message and I can organise to send it out to you. For more info on Fruitful Feelings check out my previous posts or send me a message. Erica

21.01.2022 Hello my wonderful clients! Kinesiology sessions are now fully booked for the rest of the year. I will be taking some much needed rest in January and will be back from 30th January onwards.... Next year I will have sessions available on Mondays, Tuesdays and Saturdays. If you would like to book your session for the new year, visit http://www.easternbalancekinesiology.com/book-a-session.html I will also be taking a break from Fruitful Feelings in January so if you are planning to order a set you can still do that up until December 19th (or the 11th if you'd like it posted before Christmas). Thank you all for making it possible for me to do the thing I love.

21.01.2022 The Throat Chakra is represented by the colour blue. When balanced, it helps you to communicate openly and honestly, enabling you to express your true self crea...tively and clearly. If your throat chakra is blocked, you may notice your voice is croaky, have a scratchy throat or neck pain. You may have difficulty finding the words to say how you feel, or when you do speak up for yourself you are often misunderstood. The source of this imbalance may also be connected to one or more of your lower chakras. One way you can support your throat chakra is to eat foods that are naturally blue. Blueberries (the fruit I chose to represent the throat chakra in my cards) are coming into season now here in Australia and are an excellent choice!

20.01.2022 This quote popped into my head last night and I remembered I had posted it before. Last time it was after I had recorded and released a short video sharing a kinesiology technique for the first time, nerve wracking for me at the time. Looking back at that now, I can see that those videos helped me to realise that I wanted to teach kinesiology. Soon after I recorded the videos, I completed intensive Teacher Faculty training at Kinesiology Connection, sat in on countless class...es and completed the Cert IV in training and assessment. Having a baby in between and now there's a virus around that shall not be named, I am proudly a kinesiology teacher and I am so grateful to everyone who encouraged me and supported me to get there. I feel the same gratitude for the inspiration I received to create my Fruitful Feelings cards, thanks to @_bianca_jewell and everyone in the 6 month Shamanic Kinesiology Mastership program I was part of, as well as others asking the right questions, encouraging me and brainstorming with me, these cards are now out in the world, helping children and their families to connect with their feelings and have some beautiful conversations. I'm excited to see where Fruitful Feelings will take me. Is there something that you have created or done that terrified you but you did it anyway? I'd love to hear it. Is there something that you are feeling called to do but you are scared or stuck? To quote someone possibly slightly less famous (Aunty Heather ) "If you don't take a chance, you don't get to dance". I do a happy dance everytime I get to teach, each time I post a set of cards and everytime I hear or see how my cards (or kinesiology sessions) have helped you. I'm so grateful I took a chance!

18.01.2022 They're here!! My second print run of Fruitful Feelings chakra cards have arrived and once again they are beautiful! If you pre-ordered a set, I will be (happily!) packaging them up this week to send to you. ... If you were waiting for them to arrive before finalising your order, you can complete my online order form (bit.ly/fruitfulfeelingsorders) or visit my new shop on my FB page Eastern Balance Kinesiology. If this is your first time seeing these delightful cards (hello and welcome! ). I created Fruitful Feelings in lockdown 1.0, initially to help the children I work with (and my own) better understand their emotions, be in tune with their bodies and confidently express how they feel but they quickly grew from there. They are a set of 35 cards with positive affirmations based on the chakras in the body. I also created a fold-out guide to help you use the cards and fun support ideas to help children build the connection and resilience they need to feel more balanced in body and mind. The response to them has been amazing from parents, grandparents, practitioners, teachers, childcare educators and yoga instructors and it makes me so happy to hear how they are being used to support the little ones in your lives. From what I hear, your inner child will delight in them too! The card sets are $44 plus postage. Erica

18.01.2022 Getting ready for my first ever market on Sunday at the Heatherdale Preschool Boutique Market. Any tips for me on must haves for the day? My son thinks maybe a ...jackhammer would be helpful. If you're looking for something to do on Sunday, come say hi and snap up a bargain. I'll be selling some framed prints of the original artwork that went into the Fruitful Feelings card deck too. They look very sweet up on the wall.

18.01.2022 Flashback to my kinder days. I have such happy memories of painting at kinder. A little while ago I came across a giant pile of paintings my Mum had saved. I never really realised I was creative/allowed myself to be creative but I keep coming back to it and know it's something that brings me joy, like it did when I was a child. There has been a theme in kinesiology sessions this week around listening to and honouring our inner child (giving ourselves permission to play and ...have fun), while at the same time realising when our inner child and our fear could use the reassurance and guidance of our older, wiser self. When we experience shock, trauma and grief, our body looks to our back brain to work out how to respond to stress. Our back brain and our nervous system remember how we survived in the past and we often find ourselves reacting in ways that may no longer be the most helpful. It can be a tough cycle to break when our fight/flight/freeze survival response is how things have always been done. A great place to start is to listen to and acknowledge the fearful thoughts you're having and asking yourself "who is talking right now"? If it's your inner child, ask them what they need. Do they need to feel safe? Heard? Reassured? Loved? Once you have listened to them, you can thank them for being brave (or whatever you would like to tell them), let them know that you are here and you are going to work out what is best for you now. Some things you might like to consider: Would you benefit from embracing your inner child and having some fun? What memories do you have of things you loved to do as a child? When is the last time you did them? If you have children, what brings them joy (ie squeal with delight)? Is there something your inner child needed (to hear, feel, say, do) that you can give yourself now? Is fear calling the shots and keeping you stuck in your life? If you could use some help filtering through the noise, breaking outdated survival patterns and getting unstuck, kinesiology can help.

17.01.2022 Have you seen my Fruitful Feelings chakra cards for kids but are unsure about how to use them? I thought I would answer some questions you might have. What are chakra cards?... You might have heard of flash cards or affirmation cards, that's basically what these cards are but the affirmations are based on the seven main chakras in the body. What are chakras? Chakras are energy centres that spin like a wheel to help the flow of energy from our invisible body (our feelings and thoughts) to our physical body. We can't see our chakras but we can work with them by listening to how we're feeling so we know what we need to be balanced and feel good in body, mind and spirit. How do I use the cards? If you are someone who likes to follow a process (), I have created a fold-out guide that talks you through a way you can use the cards to help children with a challenge they are facing by connecting with their bodies and answering questions to get them talking about how they are feeling. It also includes simple and fun ideas to help restore energy to their chakras and in doing so, helping them to feel more connected and balanced. You can also choose a card each day to set a daily intention. This can help to set a positive and uplifting tone for the day and provides opportunities to look for examples of each feeling as well as giving children a better understanding of what each emotion feels like. I am loving hearing about the creative and wonderful ways those of you who already have a set of Fruitful Feelings are using the cards and creating your own games. My son decided to play go fish with them today and he asked me to read what each card said which gave us the opportunity to have a talk about what each one meant and what that looks/feels like. Do you have a set of Fruitful Feelings chakra cards already? How are you or your children using them? Do you have any other questions about Fruitful Feelings? I'm happy to answer them. You can now order through Etsy: bit.ly/fruitfulfeelings.

16.01.2022 I'm packaging up the last of the orders from my first batch of printing of my Fruitful Feelings chakra cards for kids tonight. I am so grateful to everyone who has supported my creativity and ordered a set (or several!). I had no idea when I started painting them and putting my ideas together in lockdown 1.0 that there would be such a demand for them. I also didn't know that we would all be still experiencing ongoing mental and emotional strain and fatigue, especially here in... Melbourne. If you, your kids, grandchildren, nieces and nephews or friends are struggling right now and could use some emotional support and sweetness, I am expecting the next batch to arrive this week. You can order now using my online form (bit.ly/fruitfulfeelingsorders) and I'll send them to you (or your loved one) once they arrive.

15.01.2022 More orders arrived today, this shot was taken by a happy and talented customer Jess @madeforbay. Thanks for sharing your pics everyone, it makes me so happy to see my creation out in the world helping little people with big emotions. I am expecting the cards to be back in stock in the next few weeks. You can pre order now by visiting my FB shop or sending me a PM....

11.01.2022 How my heart is singing with this wonderful feedback, thanks so much Bec! I am loving all the different and creative ways children are choosing to interact with the cards. Although I have created a guide if you need it to help children explore their feelings around a challenge they are facing, I intended for the cards to be used however feels right for you.

09.01.2022 Hi everyone, An update on your Fruitful Feelings orders. There has been a minor hiccup with the printing which is being sorted out at the moment. I had planned to send out your orders this week but I want you to have a product I am completely happy with.... In the meantime I am strengthening my resilience and learning a lot about launching a product.

09.01.2022 A card for tonight, I let myself shine. The solar plexus chakra helps us to feel confident, brave and powerful. This is a great chakra to focus on if you struggle to make decisions, find yourself people pleasing (when all you want to do is say no!), or shy away from the spotlight (at times you wished you could say yes!). When balanced, the solar plexus helps you to courageously face challenges and value yourself so you can let your true self shine. Working regularly with... Fruitful Feelings and choosing some of the support ideas in the guide will help you to balance all of your chakras. Remember you can now buy them through Etsy: bit.ly/fruitfulfeelings.

06.01.2022 I came across these very special notes today, written by the first children clients I ever had. They made me smile as I remember being so nervous (this was before I had any children of my own) and then so amazed by how easily they responded to kinesiology and how much fun they were to work with. What beautiful timing for me to come across these notes as I am launching my Fruitful Feelings chakra cards for kids into the world. Thank you A and J for showing me the (working with children) ropes. @ Mitcham, Victoria

06.01.2022 Here we are again Victoria. These biscuits were too cute not to share! Supporting local 23 Cafe Restaurant Bar with these sweet treats.

04.01.2022 Take a breath. Which card stands out most to you? How does the affirmation on that card relate to what's going on in your life right now?

04.01.2022 If you've been meaning to order a set of Fruitful Feelings chakra cards but never seem to find the time to do it, I have good news for you! I've set up an Etsy shop while I work on setting up a shop on my website so you can pay more easily without having to transfer payment through.

04.01.2022 If you're a kinesiologist looking to connect better with your intuition, plant medicine, spirit and your own inner magick, or would like to be part of an incredibly supportive group, I would highly recommend Bianca's Shamanic Kinesiology Masterclass. I participated in her first 6 month program earlier this year and it is like no course I have completed before. I felt supported, encouraged and inspired to grow my business in my own authentic way, value myself and my skills. M...y creativity is flowing now in a way it hasn't done in years. It was thanks to Bianca's program and the support of everyone in the group that I was inspired to create Fruitful Feelings which I never knew I had in me. Not to mention the amazing techniques, protocols, knowledge and wisdom of experience that Bianca so generously shared with us. My clients have been blown away by the depths our sessions go to and the benefits they are receiving from everything I gained during the program and my deeper connection with my intuition.

03.01.2022 Having some fun tonight as I package more orders. I still can't believe I created these cards and could stare at them all day (I guess you could say I'm in the newborn bubble!). Have you been thinking of ordering a set of cards to help your child with big emotions they've been experiencing but are not sure how to use them? There are a number of ways you can work with cards but I have included two options in the fold-out guide.... 1. You can choose a card each day to set a daily intention and talk about the affirmation (emotion) with your child. This helps children to explore different emotions and build their understanding of what these feelings are like so they can more easily talk about and recognise them. 2. You can follow the step by step process in the guide to help children with a challenge they are facing or something that is worrying them. Using this process children will be guided to tune into how they are feeling in body and mind and the questions will help them start to talk about it (often this is a relief for parents and children). You can follow as much or as little of the process as you like. You will probably find that children will lead the way and come up with their own creative ways of using the cards. My younger son likes to get involved by pointing at and naming the different colours/fruit, an unexpected but fun use of the cards! You can order using my online form: bit.ly/fruitfulfeelingsorders

03.01.2022 Why is change so unsettling? Today we went to the Zoo to see the butterflies. We stopped to take a look at the ones in their chrysalis at different stages of transformation. When we got home, my son asked me to wrap him in a blanket so he could have a rest. I wrapped him up and said to him "don't turn into a butterfly while I'm not looking".... When I came back, he had a worried look on his face and he told me that he didn't want to change (he was worried he was going to actually become a butterfly ). Once I reassured him he wouldn't turn into a butterfly, I started thinking about how we can learn so much from Nature. I can't speak for the caterpillars, but they seem to know their path and they follow it, allowing a beautiful (and magical!) transformation to happen. Trees know when it is time to shed what no longer serves them to conserve their energy for winter. Flowers know when it is time to bloom. Imagine if we could approach change in our lives with the ease and flow of Nature and a connection to our inner wisdom, having confidence that we have all the resources we need within us. If you would like some support with change or reconnecting to your inner guidance and finding your path, I can help.
