25.01.2022 Id like to interrupt your scrolling with a babbling brook and some virtual Shinyin-Roku. Pause that ferocious finger, lift your head, drop your shoulders and take a breath. I dare you.... #stopscrolling #takeabreath

25.01.2022 When you begin to pay attention to a particular sense, it comes alive. If you consistently practise, your brain will naturally create more neural pathways in order to appreciate that sense more. Each sense reaches into both the inner and outer worlds. The mindfulness exercise is called See, Hear, Touch. Its now on my stories You only need to take a few moments with each sense, or perhaps you may like to extend the time. Its completely up to you. ... Take an attitude of playfulness when exploring the senses.

25.01.2022 Affirmations can be a powerful tool to help you to change your mood, state of mind and manifest the change you desire in your life. Positive self talk has the ability bring to life a persons abilities, strengths, talents and skills. Whilst positive self talk might come naturally to some, most people need to learn how to cultivate positive thoughts in order to quieten the negative chitchat of our inner monologue.

23.01.2022 How are you feeling? Just over two weeks in to a daily practise! Replacing negative thought patterns with positive ones takes practise and patience. You will find, however, the more you practise, the easier it becomes. With the help of positive affirmations, you will have the focus to quieten the negative thinking and move on to a more positive mind frame.... With this positivity, you tend to have a better outlook to manage daily hassles in a constructive way, helping to reduce stress in your life. Positive thinking is more constructive with with continual repetition.

23.01.2022 To help you decide whether youre ready to start a meaningful conversation, ask yourself: AM I READY? Am I in a good headspace? Am I willing to genuinely listen? ... Can I give as much time as needed? AM I PREPARED? Do I understand that if I ask how someones going, the answer could be: No, Im not? Do I understand that you cant fix someones problems? Do I accept that they might not be ready to talk? Or they might not want to talk to me? PICKED MY MOMENT? Have I chosen somewhere relatively private and comfy? Have I figured out a time that will be good for them to chat? Have I made sure I have enough time to chat properly? R U OK? Be relaxed, friendly and concerned in your approach. Help them open up by asking questions like "How are you going?" or "Whats been happening?" Mention specific things that have made you concerned for them, like "You seem less chatty than usual. How are you going?" Encourage Action Ask: What have you done in the past to manage similar situations? Ask: How would you like me to support you?" Ask: Whats something you can do for yourself right now? Something thats enjoyable or relaxing? Be present. Turn off distractions and be there in the moment.

22.01.2022 Image @lefawnhawk Feeling Fear We can have great compassion toward our fears, and the fears of others.... Our human nervous systems evolved from those of species whose very survival was threatened constantly, and who passed on their reptilian and animal brains to us. It makes sense that being afraid that you might not make rent this month can provoke almost the same nervous response as thinking that a predator is about to eat you. Inhabiting a human nervous system is kind of like living in a house where the doorbell and the burglar alarm make exactly the same sound. So when we experience fear, no matter how irrational it may seem, we can use it as an occasion to remember what unites all human beings together, and to hold that with compassion for ourselves and others. Words by @ethannichtern for @tenpercenthappier

22.01.2022 Need I say more? Deep belly breaths friends. So many of us tend to shallow mouth breathe...this is only useful if youre catching flies. Take a moment to check in now.... Hand on belly. Inhale through youre nose. Send the breath deep down into the abdomen. Notice the belly expand and move upwards. Exhale. Navel falls toward the spine. Go outside today and get some air. If youre in Melbourne, this is EXTRA important. BREATHE deeply. And if youre feeling adventurous, close your eyes and do it a few times. When Im feeling a bit blah, a few deep belly breaths out in the open always has a way of making me feel better Id love to know how you feel before and after!

21.01.2022 The power of Positive mantra repetition comes from letting go and allowing you attention to dive deeper into the realms of your awareness. Letting go is much easier said than done, however, with practise, the skill of stillness through non-reactivity can be developed. Developing the space between a thought and a reaction is where the magic happens.

21.01.2022 Four weeks with my funny little friend.

20.01.2022 With so many of us now working from home, we probably have a less than desirable work station setup. (Cue a montage of me and my recycled @hellofreshau boxes doubling as a makeshift stand up desk) Many of us are scattered across the dining table (or is it just me?!) and sitting on dining chairs for hours on end (also me!)... This is an ergonomic apocalypse! So if youre reading this, (in between having 74 tabs open of stuff youre going to read later) and doing work...I urge you to S T R E E E E T C H. Youll instantly feel better, more oxygenated and clearer. Whats your go to stretch?

18.01.2022 Your thoughts can be the source of your emotions and in turn set the tone for your moods and ultimately the choices you make. The conversations you have with yourself, have the power to either be destructive or beneficial. These thoughts also have the power to influence how you feel about not only yourself, but the people, and the world around you.

18.01.2022 Dont be a raisin, keep hydratin By the time you feel thirsty, youre already dehydrated. Water is the elixir of the gods, yet so many of us forget to down the stuff during the day.... We are moving through life mindlessly without listening to our bodies and we miss the cues. We have a headache and instead of recognising its dehydration, we pop a pill We are having trouble pooping and instead of recognising its dehydration, we guzzle laxatives. Our eyeballs feel dry and instead of recognising we are dehydrated, we use the droppers. Here are just a few important ways water works in our bodies: Regulates body temperature Moistens tissues in the eyes, nose and mouth. Aint nobody got time for dryballs. Protects body organs and tissues Carries nutrients and oxygen to cells Lubricates joints Lessens burden the on kidneys and liver by flushing out the lockdown liquid diet Helps dissolve minerals and nutrients to make them accessible to your body Be cool. Drink water.

18.01.2022 Not that many of us are driving anywhere at the moment, but those that are...

17.01.2022 During Metta meditation, we extend unconditional love towards all beings, this includes not only our loved ones, but those people that have hurt us, that we find difficult, those that cause us pain, and, often this part of the practise is the most challenging. If you can find one good thing about this person, in the midst of everything else, if you focus on that one good thing, just reflect on it for a moment, youll find that theres a feeling of drawing closer, opening up, and all the rest can be seen in that light. If you cant find even one good thing about this person, you can reflect on their wish to be happy. Because just like you, everyone wants to be happy.

16.01.2022 We all got that one (or many) friend(s) (Or maybe youre that friend!) who are relentlessly keeping you up to date with the latest news. But, it feels like a god damned hangover. Covid fatigue. Information fatigue.... Screen fatigue. Delete your social apps for a day. Then notice just how many times you go to check them. Or if youre a little extra, delete your account entirely. Check your phone screen time, have a mini panic attack and then turn off your notifications. Or better yet, just throw your phone into a lake* to resist the urges entirely. Then take a moment to enjoy the view of the lake. Take a deep belly breath. Soften your face. Soften your shoulders. Be here. Be still. Be present. Take of your shoes and socks, plants your souls into the earth and allow yourself this moment to bask in this energy. *i take no responsibility for phones in lakes Have you found yourself glued to your screen during this time?

16.01.2022 Image: @lefawnhawk So.... Come back to the present moment. Its all we really have.... Bring the mind back, over and over again, from worries about the future so it can rest in the present, right now. Right Here. There may be suffering within the mind, but chances are, right now, there is enough air to #breathe, the heart is beating, and you are more-or-less okay. Surrender into the present and recognise that this is true now, despite what the monkey mind is obsessing about. Bring present moment awareness into your body. Be mindful of three breaths in a row, feeling your chest rising and falling. This naturally reduces activity in the verbal centres of the brain, so the inner dialogue quietens It also quiets the brains default mode network, and with enough practise, will pull you out of repetitive ruminations about the past or future. Try this too... Make the final exhalation longer than the inhalation, engaging the parasympathetic nervous system; this slows the heart rate as you exhale and is naturally calming. Lemme know how you go.

15.01.2022 Todays exercise creates a positive power word or mantra. As you move through your day, you can call on any quality that you want by thinking of the specific quality as you take a conscious inhale. The idea here is to really feel into your Power mantra or word. Imagining embodying it entirely. ... When you are feeling like you need a bit of a pep up, or perhaps youve had an average day, your power word or mantra can help lift your spirits. Here are a few words as examples; Power. Relief. Love. Peace. Groundedness. Calm. Inspiration. Energising. Or perhaps some mantras; I am strong. I am Powerful. I am fierce. What does power look like to you? What does love look like to you? How about Calm, energising, peace? Really consider these words and mantras and begin to cultivate the feelings associated with the words.

14.01.2022 Take a moment to think about the last time you had a chance to do nothing. Much easier said than done in our world of non-stop connectivity, notifications, never ending to-do lists and on and on it goes The following exercise helps you to overcome the idea of meditating or being mindful correctly or incorrectly. Its letting go of any expectations or pre-conceived notions of how mindfulness should look like. You will learn to experience your natural state without DOING anyt...hing to change the moment. If you experience a lot of noise in your mind, often referred to as the money mind, whilst practising Doing Nothing just know that all of the noise or mental rehearsal is not a problem and is not to be resisted, judged or become annoyed about.

14.01.2022 Meet Remi Morino-McKee. We couldnt be more smitten (And at least someone has epic isobrows) I am eternally grateful for Robbie and Lisa @yarravalleymidwives, Steffi @sacred_ways_of_being, my angel, Mama @edinamorino, @gabriellamorino for the power of sisterhood and my heart @beaumckeerecordings.... Thank you for holding space during this ultra marathon, for allowing the experience to unfold, and, for all of the Super Saiyan strength, unwavering encouragement, non-stop ice blocks and unconditional love and support. We did it!

13.01.2022 Present moment reminder. Screenshot and keep!

13.01.2022 Metta meditation is of care, concern, tenderness and loving kindness, a feeling of warmth for not only yourself, but those around you. The practice is the softening of the mind and heart, an opening to deeper and deeper levels of the feeling o

12.01.2022 Image @jimmymarble Feels? Yeh. Same. Earlier this year, I taught a class at a Secondary school and the topic we focused on was building resilience. ... Resilience is typically defined as the capacity to recover from difficult life events. Enter the clusterfuck of everything we are experiencing atm. As we collectively move through these challenging times, finding positive ways to cope becomes pretty damn important. Ok, so what can we do now that we are spending a Shiite tonne more time with, either ourselves and, what feels like our minds on roids, and/or the people we live with, be it, our partner, kids, or housemates. We all have impulses to do and say things when we feel angry, annoyed or frustrated. This is normal and developing resilience doesnt mean curbing these impulses. Instead, its about learning not to act on the unhelpful impulses. Try this four-step process: Stop and think delay your response. Deep breaths it calms and gives control. Before saying anything, think of three possible responses choose the most constructive one. (Throwing the remote at someones head is not the most constructive fyi) Respond politely and respectfully it gets you heard. Or. If you feel as though your head is about to combust. Take a step back. Breathe and come back later.

12.01.2022 Its easy to feel like the world is spinning a million miles an hour and youre barely hanging on. Kinda like the graviton but way less fun. Heres a few things that ARE within your control and in no way is this list exhaustive. ... What else is within your control?

12.01.2022 Catch your breath. Meditative breathing teaches the mind and body to release and just like the breath, both positive and negative thoughts and feelings come and go. As you learn to quieten the mind by paying attention to your breathing, distractions begin lose their power making it trickier to disrupt your focus and disturb your mind.... #Meditation is not about stopping your thoughts, its about noticing without judgement or attachment and then eventually becoming less reactive to them. .

10.01.2022 Next time you have a drink of water. Use it as a moment to ground yourself into the present. Take a deep belly breath - inhaling and exhaling through the nose... Sip the water and notice the temperature, texture and feeling of taking that sip. Notice how your mouth and jaw feel. Maybe notice your body. Feel the water travelling through your body. Give it a go next time - let me know how it feels

10.01.2022 The only thing we can control is our own response to situations, people, the world around us. How do you choose to respond?

08.01.2022 How are you feeling today? And I dont mean, the standard, Good Thanks. Really, how are you feeling? Has sitting in stillness shifted anything? Either way, youre still here and doing a marvellous job!... Keep at it, Im right here with you! During Metta Meditation we begin learning to love ourselves, and, unless we have a measure of this unconditional love and acceptance toward ourselves, it is often difficult to extend love to others. As we continue to practise we expand our field of awareness, to include not only ourselves but those that we love, those are neutral to us, those that we find difficult and challenging and ultimately all living beings. Metta Meditation is cultivating love without conditions.

07.01.2022 I am excited to be guiding you through a short exercise in appreciating and noticing the food and drinks we consume on a regular basis. Perhaps even inspiring you to create a mini ritual before taking your first sip or bite. I will use drinking a morning coffee or tea as the example, as this is a known ritual for many already, however, this technique can be applied to all meal times. Grab a cup of your favourite warm drink - coffee or tea, perhaps lemon water, and move to somewhere comfortable where you can hold the cup and take a moment to yourself. Even if only for the first sip.

06.01.2022 #challengeaccepted #womensupportingwomen So Deeply grateful and in awe of the women I walk this journey with. @edinamorino @gabriellamorino @crystalrh @ildiamon @annahchbld @josiesomerville @daniela_okeefe @lexild @merumon @melqueue

06.01.2022 Feelin all the feely feels? Yah. Same.

05.01.2022 check out my stories These are short exercise focused around learning simple strategies to help you move through life more mindfully. This is less about a formal sitting practise and more about developing strategies that can be used in everyday settings. ... These exercises can be done on the move and dont necessarily require you to stop and close down the eyes. It may help to think of them as a little pause throughout your day that simply reminds you to check in. Brain Breaks are a very simple way to incorporate mindfulness into your daily doings. They can be practised anywhere at any time, in turn, allowing you to relax in the midst of the activity, busyness and stress of daily life.

05.01.2022 I’m incredibly excited to share that I am teaming up with my best friend and all round superstar, Crystal from @superawesomestorytime to bring little humans and big humans alike some epic moments of Mindfulness & Meditation! Combining meditation, music and creative expression we will be launching ‘Super Awesome Medis’ very soon - so keep your eyes on this space!

03.01.2022 @le_sueur I’m with you. Hundreds of days in lockdown, but who’s counting? I’m feeling frustrated and annoyed. Cabin-Fever. It feels like Groundhog Day. It’s important to find the silver lining, but it’s also important to feel the feels without feeling guilty about it.... So, with that in mind, How are you feeling?

03.01.2022 Loving Kindness meditation uses words, images, and feelings to evoke a loving kindness and friendliness toward oneself and others. With each repetition of the phrases, we are expressing an intention, planting the seeds of loving wishes over and over in our heart. Its learning to to cultivate compassion and patience for not only ourselves but also the world around us.

02.01.2022 Day twenty! Youre here! Metta meditation introduces an element of opening the heart and focusing on developing feelings of goodwill, kindness and warmth towards others. It is not an obligation, it comes from a selfless place. It does not depend on relationships, or how the other person feels about us. The process is of softening, breaking down barriers that we feel inwardly toward ourselves, and then recognising the barriers of those that we feel toward others.
