25.01.2022 We need to stop expecting our baby's transition from womb to world to be smooth Imagine living in a beautiful cocoon. Where you’ve been nurtured, loved, where... its always warm, you’re never hungry and always soothed by the beating heart of the one who created you. And then imagine taking a long and tiring journey, being launched into a new world that is bright, busy and loud. Adjusting to this new world is going to take time. This is why our baby's need to be held, cuddled and soothed. You are their safe place. Always have and always will be Repost - @tinyheartseducation

14.01.2022 Namaste from Margot Smith I am back at Orana on Tuesdays 10.30 to 12 but with limited numbers I am aware that there are many that will still not get to a class for a while. Here is a mini meditation I did out in nature with the horses grazing nearby.... Please accept this offering as a reminder that the simple moments can be the most precious and we can slow down to the speed of Mother Nature. The speed of love not Fear! When we connect to nature we can be inspired by nature and remember we too are nature. Practice being in the present moment and build emotional resilience to the world of head stuff. Nature offers her gifts for free and we can choose to press the reset button or keep loading ourselves up! (I also have zoom from home classes on Mondays 10.30 to 12) https://youtu.be/MHT5xFg8gGc

But there are few recorded posts before then with Louise Rowan and Jane Clapham that are ever so inspiring to help us with these challenging times. We are being called to rise in adversity and tuning into our mentors helps us to do exactly that! with much love to all xxxxhttps://www.instagram.com/p/B-MYeoIJfrR/

14.01.2022 Maybe a few can relate to doing Yoga from home? Its also funny being on other side of camera navigating life around zooming AND what I see on screen.... cats and dogs in your face while doing Cobra, kids or husbands making a snack, turning the tv on, just checking on you! Funny conversations when you thought you were on mute!!! I should make a video of that I am trialing live class from Orana and zooming live stream due to classes booked out and the restrictions keeping mor...e at home again. Will see how it goes this week!

12.01.2022 Reflecting on these beautiful words this morning. How are you doing? Solitude is one of the most precious things in the human spirit. It is different from l...oneliness. When you are lonely, you become acutely conscious of your own separation. Solitude can be a homecoming to your own deepest belonging. One of the lovely things about us as individuals is the incommensurable in us. In each person, there is a point of absolute nonconnection with everything else and with everyone. This is fascinating and frightening. It means that we cannot continue to seek outside ourselves for things we need from within. The blessings for which we hunger are not to be found in other places or people. These gifts can only be given to you by yourself. They are at home at the hearth of your soul. JOHN O'DONOHUE Excerpt from the book, Anam Cara

08.01.2022 Wishing a happy World Peace Flame anniversary to everyone around the world. With love from Savitri MacCuish and Mansukh Patel (co-founders of The World Peace F...lame) When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all of your thoughts break their bonds. Your mind transcends limitations; your consciousness expands in every direction; and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive and you discover yourself to be a greater person than you ever dreamed yourself to be. (Patanjali)

08.01.2022 Meet Jax isn’t he just adorable Today was his first yoga class via Zoom and he just loved it especially the relaxation at the end. His owner & new human ...mum Pam has been doing yoga for many years and is fully aware of the amazing benefits of a deep 4 stage relaxation. It’s so beneficial to consciously relax for at least 20 minutes everyday & the good news is you can clear the effects of hours of stress with only 10 - 20 minutes of deep relaxation. Healing only happens when you relax Namaste Cindy

08.01.2022 Hello Orana family, As we begin to adjust to significant changes in our lives; some find themselves in isolation from family and friends, many are experiencing unemployment or changes in working locations and conditions, others are adjusting to home schooling; and it’s important to also remember and thank those working long hours in the hospitals and health sector. It is essential to keep informed but not overloaded, follow the government guidelines, and look after yourselves.... When we are strong and centred we are in a position to provide support and care for others. So it is in this light, that we are sharing some Dru tips to help keep you centred, connected and aligned: We hope that you have already found the Dru posts for EBR 1, breath technique, short meditation and a relaxation beneficial. Breathe : - Focus on and sit with your breath. You might like to notice it enter the body through your nostrils as the body expands; then feel the breath naturally leave the body and a wave of softness replace it. Practice for 3-5 minutes daily. Light a Candle : - Sit, watch and focus on the flame. Notice the colours, notice the flicker and movement, take all of your concentration to really see and get to know the flame as if you’re seeing a flame for the first time. Be curious. Bach’s Flower Remedies ‘Rescue Remedy’: Available from chemists, health food stores, and supermarkets. Used for stress relief, if you need, use it regularly and often! (refer to directions on the product) Have a Bath : - Scrub your body with bicarb soda and then take a long bath, allowing the bicarb soda to soak in and neutralize your PH level. Get Grounded: If you can, go outside, preferably barefoot on the earth, do some gardening, or hug a tree! Yoga : - If you know any yoga from class, practice it daily. It doesn’t matter if it’s one posture, a breathing technique or an entire sequence. If you are familiar and comfortable with EBR1 (already posted here on facebook), the Earth Sequence, and/or Salute to the 4 Directions, these are great practices. Or you might like to try these guided Dru yoga practices: o Energy Block Release 1 (EBR1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3D1hUiJvmIU, o Earth meditation - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIsg5voCmuY Please, be mindful of protecting yourself and your loved ones. Take care and stay well, From your Orana Team
