25.01.2022 There are a few places left at my next get Zen to you in Forty Two get started with Mindfulness Meditation course beginning Tuesday 7th May at 6.00 pm at Stratford Natural Therapies - ( $95) 4 x weekly sessions plus two weeks suggested continued practice, with full resources to support. This course will facilitate some structure to the formal practice of mindfulness during meditation and also informal mindfulness through personal observation and greater awareness of the habits of our spontaneously wandering minds! A 6 week try this , do this, observe this experience, wrapped in self compassion, to feel more Zen and be more Zen and to grow the self discipline of a meditation practice as a normalcy. Contact Zoe on 0420 504 421 for info or to book in. This course can also be run as one to one personal sessions during clinic hours .

21.01.2022 I woke up thismorning with a feeling to get my stone tank out and offer hot stone massage in July and August whilst it’s lovely and cool. This is not suitable for pregnancy but its a beautifully relaxing and indulgent 90 minute session including a blackbooks vanilla chai masala soothing tea afterwards . The warmed basalt stones are placed and nestled into body contours and held in the palm as they glide over achy muscles. The stones are grounding and calming ( I love working with them ) and this slow gentle massage feels heavenly blended with aromatherapy . This extended session is $130 . If this speaks to you booking by text best on 0420504421 Zoe

17.01.2022 Hi there , we have been on holidays and family time during school holidays but we are all back now ... and here when you need us ... kindly Zoe , Karen and Kristy

17.01.2022 Im running another 4 week mindfulness meditation course starting WEDNESDAY JULY 3RD .... on a mish to enthuse others to get started with their own practice, know the benefits from a theoretical view point but more importantly feel the benefits on an experiential level. Meditation can be relatable and doable. It is suggested that it takes 6 weeks for the brain to integrate new habits and 6 week for the benefits of a short daily practice to be perceived. Feedback suggests this is so - which is encouraging. :)

12.01.2022 I enjoy my weekly tai chi class with Simone and started at one of her intro workshops . Enjoy

12.01.2022 I’m so impressed with this .. how to reach a lot of people quickly and the power perhaps of the collective consciousness with everyone together in one stadium that will really open up thoughtfulness and healthy conversations . I’ve seen the video . It’s good . I wish the pendulum had not swing so far that a campaign like this needed . But it has, and this is a good response . I wish those who are not here could have caught this self help, killing the stigma wave .. but others can . Big initiatives like this lift my spirits #hopeishealing#killingthestigma

06.01.2022 I feel that growing our spiritual life is one of the most serendipitous experiences from growing a meditation practice - although we might begin our mindfulness... journey to manage stress, or anxiety , or to empty out and sleep better at the end of the day - I share here some lovely words from Tami Simon at Sounds True ( a great resource and web site for meditation resources). With regard to growing a spiritual life she talks about finding ourselves wherever we are........... " the essence of spiritual life, in my experience, is to always begin againagain and againfrom wherever we find ourselves. Each new moment is a chance to open our hearts and to turn an affectionate gaze on ourselves, others, and our surroundings. Each new moment is a chance to say something true and vulnerable and meet someone in a deeper way. Each new moment is a chance to start again and take some type of action that feels loving and life-giving. In whatever place this finds you, this moment is sacred. The Irish poet John O'Donohue described the spiritual journey as the shortest journey we would ever take, one that requires not a change of location but instead a shift of view. When we can see ourselves as sacredin whatever condition we are in, without any sense of degradationwe have discovered the sacred world, which is this world, the world that holds us, gives us our life, and expresses through us." If you have read through to the end !!! - and you are interested in starting meditation practice ( or you know someone who is ) - I can help . I am running private meditation sessions on MONDAY AND TUESDAYS , during the day in my peaceful clinic room and AFTER WORK SESSIONS AVAIL 5 pm or 5.30 . I generally suggest a course of 3 is best $180 - but single session is also possible too. Resources and guided audios included . :)

06.01.2022 Well Friday 13th started in beauty .. oak moon at sunrise !

04.01.2022 Happy Easter :)

03.01.2022 "Emotional agility is the ability to be with our emotions with curiosity and compassion. Research shows the the radical acceptance of all of our emotions even the difficult messy ones, is the corner stone to resilience, thriving and authentic happiness. "( from Elisabeth David's book) - wise words indeed ! .... Having been on an emotional roller coaster myself , and still on it to one degree or another I fully relate to this - and emotions how they blow our thoughts and feeli...ngs around! we are human - we are meant to have emotions. They are communication to our selves- how to respond, what action to take, they are communication human to human, and also data to some extent - they tell us where our values sit. BUT they are information and not directives - cultivating awareness around emotion is a personal invitation to interject a little pause between it and reacting , sloooooowing down ! noticing where we feel it, noticing thoughts, which can be very helpful - and with acceptance its easier to self regulate and not least embrace self love as a concept over and above the theory. Meditation is a quiet personal space and stable platform for observing the mind - the mindfulness arises - its not something we seek . NEXT 4 WEEK MINDFULNESS MEDITATION COURSE and how to get started BEGINS TUES 6th AUGUST 6 - 700 pm :) See more
