23.01.2022 There is something utterly magical that happens when a group of women from all different backgrounds and stages of life come together and share their lived wisdom. And with a willingness to be honest, open and transparent. As well as the rich discussion, the women all received an energetic facial release, a yoga of stillness session and a beautifully prepared lunch to support them through the day. What was super evident amongst all the women was that underneath our ow...n stories and experiences, we are essentially all the same. As one woman said - I can just see you two presenting to an auditorium full of women because this is what all women need to hear A big thank you to all the women who attended the Womens Urban Retreat.

Ok, back to womenyes, we both have a LOVE for understanding ourselves as women and then supporting women to do the same.

And, we all deserve to know about it. In the next few posts we will answer some questions weve had about the retreat.

18.01.2022 Daily stress, fatigue, emotional upset, overloading of chemicals, infection, pollution and many other things can put pressure on the normal functioning of healthy tissues & healthy lymphatic pathways. MLD supports the lymphatic system to refresh and rejuvenate its fluid that then returns to the body. What is MLD (Manual Lymphatic drainage) it is a specific massage technique which encourages the natural circulation of lymph through the body. MLD assists to detoxify, rejuvenate... & increase the production of immune cells in the body. MLD also supports the body to deal with stress by stimulating the immune system and the parasympathetic nervous system. MLD is not a muscular massage but a flowing and harmonious manual treatment which works on the major lymph node groups & stretches the connective tissue to stimulate fluid circulation & elimination, assisting with detoxification. MLD encourages the lymphatic system to absorb and transport lymph more effectively. #stressmanagement #exhaustion #detoxyourbody #manuallymphaticdrainage #lymphaticdrainage #lymphaticmassage #lymphaticsystem #livingstillness

16.01.2022 Have you ever considered that when you are walking you can leave yourself behind and not take yourself on your walk?

In Episode 9 of The Living Stillness Podcast Bianca & Sara discuss their own experience of walking with connection and how this builds a quality that offers support for their day. #quality #walkinginconnection #connection

14.01.2022 NEW BLOG POSTED. Check out our new blog highlighting mens health. Are we really getting to the bottom of it? Sara shares her experience and observations of raising boys and how they are affected by the world around them.

14.01.2022 Did you know. that we have 5L of blood in our body that continually circulates through the body? This means the adult heart pumps about 7,500Ls of blood through the body every day. This powerhouse of a muscle beats about 100,000 times per day. Did you know. that we have 10L of lymphatic fluid in our body, that’s double the amount of blood. 7.5L of lymphatic fluid sits just under the surface of the skin. In a day 2-2.5L of lymphatic fluid cycles back through the heart. It ta...kes 5 days for the 10L to cycle back through the heart and be regenerated. So, double the amount of fluid moving at very slow speed. The lymphatic system is based on flow. The lymphatic system has no pump of its own, it moves slowly rhythm and flow are essential for its movement. So, what helps move lymphatic fluid? Breathing, muscle contraction, manual lymphatic drainage and some forms of exercise. During & after Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) the lymphatic system is activated and increases the amount of lymphatic fluid returned back through the heart to 10L-30L in a 24hr period. That’s amazing!! #lymphaticdrainage #lymphaticdrainagemassage #lymphaticsystem #lymphedema #manuallymphaticdrainage #massagemelbourne #remedialmassagemelbourne #biancabarban #livingstillness

14.01.2022 Living Stillness TV Episode 4 is ready for your viewing on the topic of Compromise or Connection We are making choices every moment of every day - even the simple quality of our breath is a choice. Sometimes we feel we are at the mercy of life and that there is no choice but to be on autopilot in order to just get things done. The true foundation of us is connection - we are born this way. Yet we step away from this as we become more part of life. What if the moment we d...ismiss that there is a connection, that we can bring our quality to something, then the only other choice is to compromise - and yes, this a choice! So the question is, how do we choose connection over compromise?

09.01.2022 Join Bianca & Sara for episode 14 of The Living Stillness Podcast where we explore The Poison of Perfection. The ideal that we should be perfect starts at a very young age. Perhaps, all the princess stories we love that always end in happily ever after contributes to us striving to be perfect? Perhaps, it comes from being compared to others & feeling like we are not enough? Whatever the cause, once subscribed to there is no doubt that perfection is a poison that keeps us chasing an unobtainable picture that is forever shifting and raising the bar of what perfection is and looks like.

04.01.2022 NEW BLOG POST - Why am I so sensitive? The majority of women we see in clinic are struggling and overwhelmed by the intensity of life. For a lot of them everything on the outside looks perfect, they seemingly cope well with their busy schedules, meeting the demands of what needs to be done while caring for those in their life. They look well-groomed and together but the moment they are given the space to be real and talk about how they are feeling the cracks begin to show.... Women talk about the constant unease they feel, how under the perfect veneer of togetherness there is a barrage of over thinking, how the merry-go-round of self-doubt circles around their head every time a decision has to be made and how they analyze all of their interactions and play out different versions in their head I should have said this, I should have said that! and Why cant I just say no? Does this sound familiar? .... Keep reading over on the LS blog for more... #beingsensitive #sensitivity #connection #livingstillness #womenshealth See more
