25.01.2022 It’s time for all you incredible crones to lift your veil.. Celebrate your freedom as you enter this next phase of your life.. As you gather your wisdom and share with the world what you have learnt on your great journey so far, you are honoured and deeply respected..

24.01.2022 Being at one with others and the world first requires you to be one with yourself you can only go as deep with others as you are willing to go within yourself If you want more connection If you want more abundance If you want more happiness... If you want more passion You must first face what's letting you from receiving it

24.01.2022 An incredible speech by Pope Francis yesterday! Worth a read regardless of your faith *You can have flaws, be anxious, and even be angry, but do not forget that your life is the greatest enterprise in the world. Only you can stop it from going bust. Many appreciate you, admire you and love you. Remember that to be happy is not to have a sky without a storm, a road without accidents, work without fatigue, relationships without disappointments. To be happy is to find strengt...h in forgiveness, hope in battles, security in the stage of fear, love in discord. It is not only to enjoy the smile, but also to reflect on the sadness. It is not only to celebrate the successes, but to learn lessons from the failures. It is not only to feel happy with the applause, but to be happy in anonymity. Being happy is not a fatality of destiny, but an achievement for those who can travel within themselves. To be happy is to stop feeling like a victim and become your destiny's author. It is to cross deserts, yet to be able to find an oasis in the depths of our soul. It is to thank God for every morning, for the miracle of life. Being happy is not being afraid of your own feelings. It's to be able to talk about you. It is having the courage to hear a "no". It is confidence in the face of criticism, even when unjustified. It is to kiss your children, pamper your parents, to live poetic moments with friends, even when they hurt us. To be happy is to let live the creature that lives in each of us, free, joyful and simple. It is to have maturity to be able to say: "I made mistakes". It is to have the courage to say "I am sorry". It is to have the sensitivity to say, "I need you". It is to have the ability to say "I love you". May your life become a garden of opportunities for happiness ... That in spring may it be a lover of joy. In winter a lover of wisdom. And when you make a mistake, start all over again. For only then will you be in love with life. You will find that to be happy is not to have a perfect life. But use the tears to irrigate tolerance. Use your losses to train patience. Use your mistakes to sculptor serenity. Use pain to plaster pleasure. Use obstacles to open windows of intelligence. Never give up .... Never give up on people who love you. Never give up on happiness, for life is an incredible show.* (Pope Francis). See more

23.01.2022 You just need to remember that Remember you are fire, passion, creativity, life! And don't allow yourself to fall back into patterns of supression to please others. Putting others first well before yourself is inflicting self harm. Holding back your life force, the fire within you, or simply holding back your words will create a build-up of unexpressed energy that in time will turn into pressure that will distort your power........ Distorted power never ends well. You think suppressing yourself in certain moments is for the best .... that expressing what your feeling will cause unresolved conflict or harm. The supression is magicianing you into thinking you are gaining Self Mastery. But Self Mastery isn't supression. Self Mastery is when you speak while on centre, engaging in those hard must-have conversations. Its saying Yes when you mean Yes, and saying No when you mean No. It's being calm in the middle of the storm, regulating your emotional turmoil .... without supression or overt expression. It's speaking THE truth of what needs to be said without harm or intent to cause conflict. It's putting yourself in the equation as well as others because life turns out best when action is taken that's for everyone's highest and best. That sweetheart is what makes you powerful! Being true to yourself, your voice, your inner fire. Speaking and living in the moment from truth. And by default being true to others around you - supporting them to also live in power. Live in your power. You were born to set this world on fire! Your greatest change will come when you become aware why & how situations around you are created in the first place & you see your contribution to the outcome. Gain Self Mastery on how not to sell yourself out. Don't be angry at others for reacting to your sabotage patterns, your trauma responses, your disowned conditioning... Awaken to what's not working for you & lean in to create the healing and awakening within.

23.01.2022 Our light from within is designed to shine outwards, to guide us forward ... "putting light on the matter". Over time, after enduring many heartbreaks we start to implement survival strategies. We close off our hearts to protect ourselves from anymore pain. Closing off our hearts inevitably dims our light. We can no longer clearly see the truth of the situation, we're more offended than ever before. We no longer feel alive, no longer feel the spark that motivates us towar...ds our Purpose. Creativity and Passion are lost, everything feels darker. It's not until we start to heal can we bring light back into or lives. The braver we become and choose to love despite the pain, the more we open our hearts and let out our light. Those who are brave and open their heart in the midst of life's challenges will always be grandly rewarded. Your light will guide you home. Awaken to what's not working for you & lean in to create the healing and awakening within.

21.01.2022 Oh yes.. so very true..

17.01.2022 I have read hundreds of personal growth book over a period of 20 years and this book is by far the best book I have EVER read. This is a great book as you continue your journey of personal growth.. It’s uncomplicated, makes complete sense and explores what causes the most suffering in our minds... when we don’t let go..... We have all heard it before, ‘just let go’.. People spend more time expressing negative thoughts and delving into the past and rehashing their old story over and over.. It truly becomes like a broken record and bores so many.. LET IT GO!! It doesn’t serve to keep repeating the story. It keeps people away and it causes your body to ‘hold onto’ the energy in the form of weight or ‘dis..ease’ Their life never changes due to the fear, guilt or grief they are riddled with. Year after year they stay the same..only until they experience enough suffering.. Talking it through is not the answer.. Why suffer more???!!! Resistance and negativity become a second skin and people often don’t even know they are wearing it.. Life will become easier and you will experience beautiful changes in the 3 most important areas of your life.. Health, Wealth and Relationships.. I have recommended this book to so many people and the ones who have committed to reading it are having profound shifts in their lives. I hope you enjoy it as much as I and many others have.. Much love, Soph https://www.amazon.com.au/Letting-Go-Surrender//1401945015

15.01.2022 This is fabulous!!

13.01.2022 I had the honour of facilitating my deeply beautiful Shamanic Women's Healing Circle this afternoon with 21 brave and inspiring women who went deep into their womb where they, and their Ancestors, have suppressed their fears, where they've kept small in order to survive. We met in Circle and sat with our sisters, one by one shedding layers of ego, meeting our greatest fears in the eyes. Rising as the brave, open feminine we are. #WomensCircle #SacredCircle #fire #shamaniccircle #heal #grow #change #feminine #queen #rise #SophieBirganPsychotherapy#SophieBirgan #MindAndBodyHealth

12.01.2022 The real therapy only begins when the patient sees that it is no longer father and mother who are standing in his way, but himself . . Anthony Stevens, Jung: A Very Short Introduction Art: Egon Schiele

10.01.2022 Never before have we needed a Shamanic release like we do right now in 2020.. Unreleased energy has been building for months now.. Uncertainty..... Change.. Grieving for what used to be.. Loss.. Regret.. Fear of not having enough.. Enough is enough.. Where is your Queen? Through the darkness our feminine must rise more than ever before. Women are shape shifting faster yet still not feeling a deep sense of fulfilment. What’s missing? If you are committed to growth, why are you still sleeping? Where is your voice? Why are you tolerating the suffering? When is enough enough for you? What are proving with your ongoing misery? If the story keeps getting repeated it’s time for a new script. What will you lose if you change and not complain about the same stuff over and over and over again. The truth is your afraid.. Very very afraid.. It keeps you bounded.. In shackles.. No voice.. Weary body filled with anger, jealousy, resentment and sadness.. Your fear controls you big time.. It’s your survival. You binge eat Binge drink Do drugs.. Spend endless money to fill the void.. Because you lack discipline and loathe discomfort.. You stay in volatile or shutdown relationships where you remain small.. The children keep you trapped. Financial commitments. You alter yourself over time and don’t even realise you are doing it. You say to yourself.. ‘It’s too hard to change or what’s the point now, I’m getting too old’ If you want freedom you will join the circle of the sacred feminine.. Release the fear just like your ancestors did naturally.. No words or story required.. Only your breath and your body.. Feel the space within, as you release your rage, resentment, grief and agony.. Go back to your core.. Feel connected and protected by the Great Mother Earth.. Empty.. Release.. Expand.. Fill up with love.. Feel the joy envelop your body like never before.. It’s long lasting.. Its time women to wake up..

08.01.2022 Not surprisingly most of us put loving others well before loving ourself. We haven't all been raised to believe it's ok to love ourselves. The majority of us are terrified of healing the parts of ourselves that we run from.... There's even some people who say "looking back is a waste of time". What most of us don't know until we have reached rock bottom is the value of healing and it's ability to change your way of doing life to include yourself in the love you give. If you are courageous enough to dive into your relationship dynamic with yourself you will truly be rewarded. If you are ready to heal the parts of you that will give you your greatest opportunities for growth Give us a call at Mind & Body Health on 0438 164 886 for a Psychotherapy session with Sophie.

07.01.2022 Sensitivity is a sign of life. Better hurt than hardened. I bow to those who keep their hearts open when it is most difficult; those who refuse to keep their ar...mour on any longer than they have to; those who recognize the courage at the heart of vulnerability. After all the malevolent warriors destroy each other, the open-hearted will inherit the earth... Author: Jeff Brown Wild Woman Sisterhood | Artwork: Lauri Blank

05.01.2022 I asked a friend who has crossed 70 & is heading towards 80 what sort of changes she is feeling in herself? She sent me the following: 1. After loving my parent...s, my siblings, my spouse, my children and my friends, I have now started loving myself. 2. I have realized that I am not Atlas. The world does not rest on my shoulders. 3. I have stopped bargaining with vegetable & fruit vendors. A few pennies more is not going to break me, but it might help the poor fellow save for his daughter’s school fees. 4. I leave my waitress a big tip. The extra money might bring a smile to her face. She is toiling much harder for a living than I am. 5. I stopped telling the elderly that they've already narrated that story many times. The story makes them walk down memory lane & relive their past. 6. I have learned not to correct people even when I know they are wrong. The onus of making everyone perfect is not on me. Peace is more precious than perfection. 7. I give compliments freely & generously. Compliments are a mood enhancer not only for the recipient, but also for me. And a small tip for the recipient of a compliment, never, NEVER turn it down, just say "Thank You. 8. I have learned not to bother about a crease or a spot on my shirt. Personality speaks louder than appearances. 9. I walk away from people who don't value me. They might not know my worth, but I do. 10. I remain cool when someone plays dirty to outrun me in the rat race. I am not a rat & neither am I in any race. 11. I am learning not to be embarrassed by my emotions. It’s my emotions that make me human. 12. I have learned that it's better to drop the ego than to break a relationship. My ego will keep me aloof, whereas with relationships, I will never be alone. 13. I have learned to live each day as if it's the last. After all, it might be the last. 14. I am doing what makes me happy. I am responsible for my happiness, and I owe it to myself. Happiness is a choice. You can be happy at any time, just choose to be! Why do we have to wait to be 60 or 70 or 80, why can't we practice this at any stage and age?

05.01.2022 Never make a decision when you're angry. This would have to be one of the most crucial rules you could live by. Yes, sometimes we get angry because we've been people pleasing and our Soul has reached a point of "enough is enough"! ... BUT ACTUALLY the anger you feel has NOTHING to do with the other person! So making a decision about your relationship or agreement with them is misguided. The frustration that's fueled the anger is actually a signpost pointing right back at yourself! THE #TRUTH IS your anger is at yourself for your betrayal TO YOURSELF! You've been so busy accommodating others that you've forgotten to include yourself in the equation. And .... well that will NEVER. END. WELL. You must INCLUDE you. That's not selfish. That's what's for EVERYONE'S greater good. You CANNOT exclude you. You will continually keep coming back to the same signpost.... the anger will just escalate. Making a decision when you're angry will never be "the right decision". Yes, it could be part of the "right decision" but it will be done harshly and without ownership. The greatest change will come when you become aware why and how the situation was created in the first place, and you're contribution to the outcome. That's the decision that needs to be made. The decision to change the aspect of the situation where you sold yourself out. Don't be angry at others for reacting to your sabotage patterns, your trauma responses, your disowned conditioning .... Awaken to what's not working for you and lean in to create the healing and awakening within.
