22.01.2022 A tiny taste of how I teach - for beginners. A super simple 5 - 10 minute practice to over come that "it's too hard, takes too long" excuse to avoid yoga ;))!! ... If you'd like more depth of instruction and more movement AND you're in Perth/Fremantle, I am teaching my method - Aligned Flow at 5:45 pm on Wednesdays at Heart Place. Small heart-felt classes and practices.

19.01.2022 It’s a hard truth sometimes that the only way forward is through. Intense emotions are felt as intense sensations in the body and these can feel overwhelming or intolerable at times. We might find ourselves saying anything but this, I can’t bear it and we turn to our preferred distraction or numbing device instead.... Learning to be at home in the body as we heal and navigate our way into less stressed and healthier lives can be a challenge. It takes practice and too much too soon can overpower our efforts and send us spiralling back into avoiding those big feelings. So, we start with small steps, affirming our capacity to tolerate what is happening, strengthening our ability to hold and observe our sensations and letting ourselves know we are safe. We let the body know it is safe by doing so in small, tolerable doses. We become a friend to what lives inside us by showing up, consistently on a daily basis and building trust. Practicing regular regulation - attending to the little daily niggles and ups and downs and returning to balance is an excellent way to train the system to be ready for when the storms might come. Even in the midst of the storms, we can find warmth and safety - inside. #somatic #trauma #traumahealing #psychology #counseling #awareness #growth #healing #healinglifestyle

15.01.2022 #34/100 - 100 Open Mic Challenge. 2nd May, South Street Ale House "Give me one minute Richard. He nodded.... I ran (mask on) along the bar, out the front door, down the side of the building and into the carpark. Racily pressing keys into the lock to checkplease god of music and all that is benevolent? Nope. I’d dashed out in the hope of finding my guitar strap and song book but it was empty feet wells and seats that silently and emptily greeted me. "Oh well" I thought, "I’ll just have to sit down, rest my guitar on my knee and hum in place of those lyrics I forget, no biggie, I can cope with this sort of thing now". I’d decided to open my set with a new song I had just written - and I didn’t fully remember the words yet. I’d also changed the key for all my songs earlier in the week and recorded the capo fret number for each one in my song book. Catching my breath, I settled myself onto the stage - You’ll figure it out Mira". A friendly half toothed smile greeted me - want some percussion for your set tonight?" he offered. I agreed. Why not? I thoughta soft steady drum beat can really give you support to focus less on the rhythm and more on the melody. That’s not quite what I got. I am taking his loud playing and boisterous improvised belting as a compliment to how he felt about my songs. After two songs I thanked him and released him from his duties to be greeted be intense feedback - from the speakers that is - ear piercing brain stabbing sounds that took a moment to diagnose and resolve. Up until that point I had not been able to hear much beyond the loud thwacking behind me so I’d been going on feel and hadn’t noticed I couldn’t hear the guitar in the foldback. Easy to fix that one. On we pushed, and I shared the last couple of songs in relative comfort. You might notice if you look for a second longer, the smile I wear in this photo is one of tired determination. Lately I have been studying Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. It’s based on the idea that when you are in pursuit of a fulfilling life, things will be hard, there will be challenges and you are simply among the midst of EVERY other human being in encountering them. Best to accept that (and there are many techniques to help you do that) and then take action based in your values. Despite the outcomes or daily fluctuations of thoughts and feelings, actions consistent with our values and our ideas of the best version of ourselves will lead to a meaningful and therefore satisfying life. Sometimes you have just got to sit, smile and go for it.
