25.01.2022 Holy Moly, Batman. This past week has been a good’un, with the older three in the thick of end of semester assessments, and this little guy in the thick of popping his first teeth (there seems to be a race between the bottom AND top gums) . To help get us (all) through the week, we’ve been upping Gratitude journaling, listening to everyone’s favourite tunes, spending fun time as a family , and talking it out when things are feeling tough. ... The older three and I have also been practicing meditations from my Conscious Kids Mindfulness program, that is soon to be released. The skills the kids learn through this help them recognise the bodily signals of fight or flight , gives them tools to self-sooth, consciously engage their relaxation response and recognise that choosing to feel happy and calm is one of their superpowers. To help support little Benji and his sore gums, he and I have been taking time out during feeds for some Messy Mindfulness Heart Connection The process of doing this has numerous health benefits for him (and I) and helps create calm and connection during trying, tiring moments. This program is also getting close to Launch , so follow the link in our Bio to sign up for updates Let me know any tricks you have up your sleeve for those moments that you need to dig a bit deeper with your tribe

24.01.2022 It’s Spring school holidays in our part of the world, so days are moving a little slower here and. I. Love. It. I love having my four babes home all together, I love the extra time to just ‘be’, and I am ecstatically grateful about not making lunchboxes for 2 whole weeks ... things that float my boat, eh? #mumlife So with the sun creeping over the ocean earlier in the morning again, the doona getting kicked off the bed at night, and the temperature (and humidity - ) cre...eping up again, we have been seeking out the water... yesterday was a favourite creek for the kids to explore, and tomorrow we head down to the Gold Coast to chase some surf Would love to hear what’s happening in your part of the world?? All the things making your heart happy? Let me know below!

24.01.2022 Our cardioelectromagnetic communication is an integral part of our communication, not just between ourselves, but the Earth and it’s energy. Check out this beautiful visual detailing our hearts’ amazing capacity, by the gurus in this field @heartmathinstitute

24.01.2022 Set an intention to put aside 5 minutes today to generate heart based emotions, and truely FEEL those emotions radiating from your heart space Drop a below to commit to this small practice today, and see how it impacts the way your energy flows

21.01.2022 Our bodies possess an innate capacity to heal. It is our environment, or more to the point, our perception of our environment that our mind and physical being eventually embody. If we live viewing the world through a state of fear and lack, that is what we will get... our subconscious beliefs will all but guarantee it. And we will live in a chronic state of stress, producing corresponding stress hormones, that will eventually wear on our mental and physical health. Embody who you wish to become. Know your innate ability to heal, and to shape the world you exist in. You are not an innocent bystander in your life... you are a powerful creator. Embody that.

21.01.2022 #ruokday You are valuable. You are loved. And you owe it to yourself to find that better feeling thought... just one thought at a time that feels a bit nicer, a bit kinder, a bit more light than the last. And if you cannot find that better feeling thought, please reach out to someone to find it for you. Go gently, and know you are loved by many other hearts

21.01.2022 A phrase I hear a lot, goes along the lines of ‘I would love my child to participate in a mindfulness/meditation practice, but they just wouldn’t do it / are not that kid / wouldn’t sit still / we don’t have time / there’s just no point. I have been sitting on this post for a while now. So, as a gentle prelude, I would like to say I have four children, aged 10 months to 12 years - 2 boys and 2 girls. They could not be more different in personality, temperament, and intere...sts. I am qualified in children’s meditation and have studied and worked in early childhood education - I genuinely understand and appreciate the unique, diverse and beautiful tapestry that is a child. I know no-one knows your child better than you, Mama. And I know sometimes we feel so pressured that we are not doing enough for our tribe. But I promise, this is so worthwhile, and with time will become a natural and effortless part of you day. I think our resistance for not even offering our kids the opportunity, is sometimes we can unintentionally project our own subconscious thinking, patterning, programming on to our children - from a place of love, from a place of protection, advocating for them, from a place of not wanting them to be misunderstood... I want you to know, from one Mama to another, that a mindfulness practice is an exploration entirely unique to your child, as it is to each of us on this journey. It will mean different things to them than it does to you or me, it will sit with them uniquely and individually. A mindfulness practice for children is not asking them to sit still, be quiet, don’t fidget, and still their mind. It’s about helping them find the way that resonates best, to find the calm within themselves... the thing that leaves them feeling happy, relaxed and connected. Given the opportunity, kids know this state innately. It is a biological knowing that is programmed out of us as we grow: stop daydreaming; pay attention; not that way. We can cultivate this intrinsic knowing by creating space in their day for them to cultivate it. And the best way to make this an enduring, enjoyable habit, is by joining in with them; modelling it... CONT. BELOW

17.01.2022 The story behind Zen Friends! These little guys are dropping on our website for purchase at 8pm tonight!! We are so honoured to be the only Australian stockist for Zen Friends - two gorgeous little Sloths, that are beautiful open-ended toys that encourage self-love through mindfulness, meditation & yoga. Sage & Shiloh are not only adorable, they are also here to help us connect with our bodies & minds. ... With a unique poseable inner frame, they can be moved into just about any position to teach yoga in a fun and interactive way! These cute sloths also come with a built in bluetooth speaker, allowing you to connect them to your smart device to play guided meditations, affirmations, sleep music and even audio books! https://www.youtube.com/watch

17.01.2022 Self-care is often a very unbeautiful thing. It is making a spreadsheet of your debt and enforcing a morning routine and cooking yourself healthy meals and no ...longer just running from your problems and calling the distraction a solution. It is often doing the ugliest thing that you have to do, like sweat through another workout or tell a toxic friend you don’t want to see them anymore or get a second job so you can have a savings account or figure out a way to accept yourself so that you’re not constantly exhausted from trying to be everything, all the time and then needing to take deliberate, mandated breaks from living to do basic things like drop some oil into a bath and read Marie Claire and turn your phone off for the day. A world in which self-care has to be such a trendy topic is a world that is sick. Self-care should not be something we resort to because we are so absolutely exhausted that we need some reprieve from our own relentless internal pressure. True self-care is not salt baths and chocolate cake, it is making the choice to build a life you don’t need to regularly escape from. And that often takes doing the thing you least want to do. It often means looking your failures and disappointments square in the eye and re-strategizing. It is not satiating your immediate desires. It is letting go. It is choosing new. It is disappointing some people. It is making sacrifices for others. It is living a way that other people won’t, so maybe you can live in a way that other people can’t. It is letting yourself be normal. Regular. Unexceptional. It is sometimes having a dirty kitchen and deciding your ultimate goal in life isn’t going to be having abs and keeping up with your fake friends. It is deciding how much of your anxiety comes from not actualizing your latent potential, and how much comes from the way you were being trained to think before you even knew what was happening. If you find yourself having to regularly indulge in consumer self-care, it’s because you are disconnected from actual self-care, which has very little to do with treating yourself and a whole lot do with parenting yourself and making choices for your long-term wellness. It is no longer using your hectic and unreasonable life as justification for self-sabotage in the form of liquor and procrastination. It is learning how to stop trying to fix yourself and start trying to take care of yourself and maybe finding that taking care lovingly attends to a lot of the problems you were trying to fix in the first place. It means being the hero of your life, not the victim. It means rewiring what you have until your everyday life isn’t something you need therapy to recover from. It is no longer choosing a life that looks good over a life that feels good. It is giving the hell up on some goals so you can care about others. It is being honest even if that means you aren’t universally liked. It is meeting your own needs so you aren’t anxious and dependent on other people. It is becoming the person you know you want and are meant to be. Someone who knows that salt baths and chocolate cake are ways to enjoy life not escape from it. -Brianna Wiest [Illustration: Yaoyao Ma Van As Art ]

16.01.2022 When you realise Heart and Earth are spelled with the same letters, it all starts to make sense. Happy little serendipities When was the last time you immersed yourself in nature? Bonus points for being barefoot and soaking up some of Earth’s electrons

16.01.2022 Like anything we want to cultivate in life, it’s about starting small... ...planting the seed, nurturing it - nutrition, water, supportive environment, love & attention. And even if we can’t see the transformation by observing the surface of the soil, underneath we are allowing the seed to form expansive, strong roots. ... Then in its own time, a tiny miracle will break through the earth, and start reaching towards to the sun. When it’s ready, a flower will bloom... not a moment before every little miracle preceding that organically unfolded, supported by the love and attention. What flowers do you dream of? What seeds are you nurturing?

15.01.2022 Mother Earth flicked a switch here in sunny Queensland, and bam, it’s the first day of Spring in every sense of the word. Make a habit of getting outside, barefoot if you can, to get some fresh air, get some Vitamin D in the milder hours of the sun, and take some time to reap the benefits of Grounding. Connecting with the mobile electrons on the Earth’s surface and it’s negative potential can create a stable internal bioelectrical environment for the normal functioning of... all body systems. This can mean neutralising free radicals, improving inflammation and the immune system, improved sleep, improved cardiovascular health, and improved mental health. Sounds like a pretty good excuse to kick off the shoes and head outside

14.01.2022 Your heart possesses an innate intelligence that informs your brain and nervous system about your environment. Your heart also emits an electromagnetic field to others, communicating the frequency and emotion you are resonating at. Even more amazing? By choosing heart-based thoughts, you can alter your own body’s expression and impact the field of those around you, in beautiful, beneficial ways. ... Our Messy Mindfulness Heart Connection workshop will show you how to harness this technique to transform your life - and your little tribe Head to the link in our Bio and sign up to our mailing list to be the first to know when this heartfelt course is going live

14.01.2022 What the Miracle Mums Movement looks like So honoured to be involved in such a worthwhile venture for women

13.01.2022 We tend not to associate childhood and children with stress... it is a time of life that is perceived as joyous and carefree, and often not much consideration is given to whether a child may indeed be stressed. In this day and age, however, there are a plethora of instances that can cause our children stress, anxiety and even trauma. In childhood, stress may be caused by a scary movie scene or book, bullying at school, academic pressures, overly busy schedules, through to vie...wing catastrophic world events, family upheaval, the death of a loved one, illness, or living through or with abuse. When a person is stressed, whether this be via a physical or mental stressor, or even a perceived threat, the body activates Fight or Flight mode; diverting the body’s energy and resources to being ready to either fight or run away. Stress hormones are released into the bloodstream, blood diverted away from internal organs to the extremities, the brain no longer functions within the cerebral Cortex, and the immune system is suppressed. If this state of stress becomes prolonged, children can be especially vulnerable to this repeated stress activation, as their brains and bodies are in a critical and sensitive period of development. Young children cannot necessarily understand why they are feeling the way they are, and older children, whilst they may comprehend what is bothering them, may not be able to understand why it is making them feel the way it does, or find the words to articulate their feelings around it. Children may not recognize their own anxiety, or lack the discretion to be able to differentiate between real or imagined stressful issues. The stress will present in emotional, behavioral and physical manifestations, however. Stress in children can look like, but is certainly not limited to: Continued in comments...

12.01.2022 Zen Friends are LIVE on our website guys. We are so proud to be the only Australian stockist for these adorable sloths.

12.01.2022 More than ever before in history, we as Mothers have the ability to provide our children with a regulatory toolbox that our ancestors knew and taught instinctively - but we also have the science to explain and back why and how this is beneficial for our emotional, mental, physical and energetic health. It’s time now, to reach for the wisdom we hold innately inside us, and guide from a more gentle place, that honours Mother and Child, and our natural rhythms.

11.01.2022 So excited to announce the winner of Shiloh the Zen Friend @yourzenfriends is.... *drum roll please*.... @makelirussell !!!

Please send us a DM so we can organise delivery Thanks so much to everyone who participated, we truly appreciate the love and support Have a beautiful day all!

10.01.2022 Mothers in a psychophysiologically coherent state are more sensitive to the subtle electromagnetic information encoded in the electromagnetic signals of her infant. (HeartMath Institute) We can tune into this, and respond to our infants unspoken psychophysiological messages, more, through being in a state of heart coherence Is this something you would like to tap into?

09.01.2022 Mama, I see you, being all the things to all the people. I know the endless mental checklists you have on repeat in your head. I feel your need to put your babes’ needs first. I can taste that sip of cold coffee that you have already reheated twice before you run out the door. I hear that whole body sigh at the end of the day when you realise you’re too tired to do those things for your own self care that you resolved again last night to do. I’m not here to remind you abou...t prioritising yourself... we know that, and we want that, we try for that, but some days it just doesn’t happen We know, too, though, that burnout is on the other side of tooooo many days like that. So I’m here to tell you to start small. Find those little spaces in your day to breathe a little deeper. Think a little slower. Actually be in your body. Start bringing your nervous system back to a level of homeostasis. And do it with your kiddos. Teach them the value of slowing down, how important it is for their entire being to reclaim moments in their busy day, too. Messy, mindful moments. This is one of mine, yesterday... my two baby boys . Taking a moment in the morning... there were a million other things I needed to get up to do, but they were all still there waiting . I took a few extra minutes to hold my boys, and let Gratitude fill up my Heartspace and Headspace... ... my to-do list didn’t feel as stressful or imminent after that... funny how it works, right? Tag me in your #messymindfulmoment Mama - it would make my heart so happy to see how you guys are making space in your busy days, for you

06.01.2022 Sometimes societal pressures have a very convincing way of making us feel like we don’t have a choice... that we are bound to do all the things, all the time... even at the expense of our wellbeing. Meetings, obligations, deadlines, commitments... Sometimes though, it’s necessary to call in your boundaries, and decide where your energy is most needed. It’s that’s old chestnut; if you’re trying to put your energy towards doing two things at once, you’re doing neither This... week has been one those in my household. The kids kicked the week off with black eyes and sore ribs from a go-cart incident, and followed that up with coming down with a pretty nasty cold and stomach bug, while my partner is working away I had a bunch over (over)due study to get through this week, and course work & research for all the exciting things coming to Finding Flow that I had intended on achieving. But, for my wellbeing as well as my babes, I chose to let that lie for a few more days, and direct my energy towards nurturing their little bodies back to health, and making sure I honoured mine. It’s been a week of cuddles, broths, and rest. The rest will still be there, and it will all still be achieved. There is a lot to be said for this kind of grace - and the ripple effect will be one of expansive calm, love and wellness, rather than stress, frustration and fatigue Thank you for holding space for me here; it is never taken for granted . So tell me ~ where can you allow yourself a bit of grace today? Where can you shift the energy of what *has* to be achieved?

06.01.2022 The child/adult relationship is an opportunity for reciprocal growth and expansion. What wisdom have you gained from your child lately?

06.01.2022 Happy Father’s Day to the two most amazing Fathers I know. So grateful to have you both

06.01.2022 is what’s important. Where are you directing your love and energy?

05.01.2022 Imagine if we put the same time and energy in ruminating over all our dreams and possibilities, rather than the sharp-tongued comeback we should have said to that person 4 months ago? Imagine if we spoke of our love and happiness and good deeds, rather than how bad the traffic was and how that stranger irritated you. Maybe it’s time to change our relationship with our dialogue... both internal and external. Have a beautiful Monday Friends. I hope you smile, I hope you laugh, and I hope your heart feels full

05.01.2022 Affirmations it’s just about repeating a bunch of fluffy positive words right? Well, no. There is a significant difference between ‘positive thinking’ and ‘positive affirmations’. In fact, the term ‘Self Affirmations’ is probably a more apt descriptor. Affirmations are a powerful tool to actualizing your authentic Self that you wish to connect with, and embodying that. They have the ability to ‘rewire’ your brain over time. About 95% of our habits, beliefs and thought ...processes are subconscious programs. Affirmations are like a doorway to the subconscious - a way of actively accessing and training it to think in terms of a new a program a new belief system, that is aligned with You, instead of the culmination of societal and generational patterns that you have largely adopted as your personality. Our brains are what is known as Neuroplastic. Neuroplasticity refers to the physiological changes in the brain that happen as the result of our interactions with our environment. From the time the brain begins to develop in utero until the day we die, the connections among the cells in our brains reorganize in response to our changing needs. This dynamic process allows us to learn from and adapt to different experiences Celeste Campbell (n.d.). Largely, our brains are creatures of habit and like to perform via efficient, predictable responses / pathways. However, when we learn something new, or perceive something new from our external environment, we create new connections between our neurons (synapses). Neurons are the cells that make up our brains, and synapses are the chemical and electrical connections between them, that pass information from one neuron to another. We rewire our brains to adapt to new circumstances. This happens on a daily basis, but it’s also something that we can encourage and actively stimulate. When using affirmations, the key is in generating some genuine feeling behind what you are saying. Feelings define an experience and the impact it plays in your subconscious. *Continued In Comments*

02.01.2022 Bedtimes can be stressful. They’re tired. You’re tired. The last thing they want is to go to bed. The only thing you want is for them to go to bed. ... You either have a list a mile along of things you need to get done once they’re asleep, or you have a date with the chocolate stashed at the back of the fridge and loosing yourself down the Netflix abyss. So that often puts a lot of pressure on the process: them resisting / you insisting. What if you could reframe the whole approach? What if you could utilise bedtime as a time you set aside for you and your child to grab a messy mindful moment, really connect after a busy day full of obligations, and just be with each other? What if you could implement a consistent, calm bedtime journey so all the protests and diversion tactics faded away? Join us for our free Mindful Bedtime Journey Masterclass, and learn how to create a space for calm, connection, coherence and co-regulation at bedtime . Register through the link in the Bio . While you’re there, grab our free Mindful Activity ideas EBook to help wear them out for a peaceful nights sleep

02.01.2022 Can I be honest? I used to have a shitty life. There I said it. I couldn't admit it to myself back then. I was miserable and I didn’t think I had the power to c...hange it. I felt trapped in a marriage that I had fought so hard to have. I kept thinking, "it will get better" and it never did. It just got worse. I needed validation from others that what I was feeling wasn’t what a normal marriage should feel like. I was confused. Second guessing myself. I was lost. I really hate it when I can see other women suffering in silence like I did. That’s the reason I created Miracle Mums Movement, so that I can show mums that their dream life is possible post separation from an abusive partner. Even if they don’t believe it to start with, my hope is that hearing my story will give them hope. Hope that they can learn to trust themselves again and build the life they dream of. It is possible. I know because I've done it - Lou Are you; A mum of kid/s under 16 Post separation from abusive partner Confused, scared but feeling hopeful Still finding your feet Focused on the future Wanting to take control of your own healing You're our people!

02.01.2022 Things have been a little quiet here on the grids... I like to try make life as much about balance as I can, and sometimes that’s about knowing if I try to direct energy into too many places at once, I’m not really showing up in any at all. So, this past week has been about teething babies, kids with Tonsillitis, end of term school assessment and hubby getting a well-deserved motorbike upgrade. I have also been busy in the background planning how I can best serve through t...his amazing open-ended modality that is online offerings . I’m working on some beautiful offerings that I am putting all my heart into, that I hope to have finalised really soon . Everything in it’s time... but I appreciate the patience endlessly Have an amazing day... and maybe slow down enough to remember to breathe
