This month I interviewed Diane from #nunchioils for my Focus On interview series.⁣
⁣
This is where we can celebrate the beauty and diversity of meditation journeys .. gathering to share stories, practices and insights, and to listen and learn from each other.⁣
⁣
And I can also share some of the people that i meet on my own journey, who inspire with their gifts and offerings.⁣
⁣
It all started with a beautiful gift received .. the ‘Three Oms’ essential oil spray .. and I wanted to know more so I chased down Di while she was on holiday in the wild wonderfulness of Tasmania, and she shared some of her story. ⁣
⁣
You can read the full interview on the website.⁣
⁣
You can also read a diversity of other meditation stories, by searching ‘Focus On Interviews’. ⁣
⁣
And definitely sign up for Quiet Mind Newsletter for a monthly meditation resource (inc. interviews and classes).⁣
⁣
Cup of tea time!⁣

I believe it is time 💫⁣
⁣
Time to gather again for some in-person meditation.⁣
⁣
I took a leap of faith and put it out to the universe .. heartened by nine weeks of Twilight Meditation (thanks to @sandy.village ) where we gathered for weekly meditation by the beach, and meeting some of the local community eager to meditate, and then finding a lovely venue, right in the heart of the village!
⁣
So if you would like to:⁣
⁣
*learn how to self manage your stress⁣
*find that inner calm when the world around you is in flux⁣
*tap into your natural creativity and intuition⁣
*most likely sleep better⁣
*and feel a greater sense of well-being⁣
⁣
PLUS⁣
⁣
*meet with some locals, have a cup of tea, round off your weekend (and prepare for the week ahead) with a Sunday afternoon meditation ..⁣
⁣
✨Each Sunday (5-6pm) starting 30th May⁣
⁣
✨Also, two ‘Four East Steps to Meditate’ Workshops now open - for those new to meditation (also on a Sunday 1pm to 4pm)⁣

Today I ... LET GO of a little voice in my head that is unhelpful and negative, and pops up and trips me up too often!
⁣
I’ve seen you. I’ve heard you!⁣
⁣
I keep discussing how silly you are, and how untrue you are.⁣
⁣
I’m over you.⁣
⁣
It’s time for us to part.⁣
⁣
I’m letting you go.⁣
⁣
And I don’t doubt you’ll lurk for a while but I’m clear and committed.⁣ and I’m excited too about what might now be possible.⁣
⁣
And I have some practices that are going to support me in this - the art of Letting Go.⁣
⁣
If you would like to explore this art of Letting Go .. it’s our theme in ‘the Seasonal Lounge’ for the whole month of May.⁣
⁣
Four weeks. Weekly content. A meditation practice, a Mindfulness exercise, and a Ritual. Tools and resources to support you in recognizing and leaning into moments of Letting Go.⁣

Starting Monday May 3 in ‘the Seasonal Lounge’

Starting Monday May 3 in ‘the Seasonal Lounge’ will be a month of meditation, mindfulness and ritual to support us in moments of Letting Go.⁣
⁣
In recent years, I have come to also appreciate this wise advice of Jon Kabat-Zinn and at times adjusted my approach .. from Letting Go to something more aligned with simply - Letting Be. ⁣
⁣
Meditation is an excellent classroom for getting comfortable and resilient with Letting Go (or letting be). ⁣
⁣
Each moment in our practice we face change and challenge, and through our practice of regularly sitting we learn to simply observe the physical, mental and emotional sensations that arise, so that we might receive their message, and allow them to pass .. making space for something new.⁣
⁣
If you would like some resources and tools for navigating the art of Letting Go - link in the bio for our monthly Seasonal Lounge four-week (online) journey.⁣

Ahh Autumn sunshine .. you make me smile!⁣
⁣
I moved my desk to a new spot this morning, so I can soak up all this unexpected warmth and blue sky.⁣
⁣
And then I received some exciting news about a possible new venue for some in-person group meditation classes!!⁣
⁣
IN PERSON. Gathering TOGETHER!⁣
⁣
It feels like forever. I’ve had a couple of corporate workshops on-site (and Covid prepared), and just finished nine weeks of meditation outside in the open air on the Sandringham foreshore (part of the Sandy Twilight Series) .. but it’s exciting to start preparing for community based meditation classes after a year of online only meditation.⁣
⁣
Crossing my fingers this new space in Sandringham will be a good fit!⁣
⁣
This month of May looks to be a busy one .. coupled with two family birthday celebrations. It’s starts next week with the release of:
⁣
Sunday May 2 - the Monthly Meditation Musing email with a guide to the Seasonal elements at play and a guided meditation
⁣
Monday May 3 - we begin our monthly exploration of ‘Letting ago’ in the Seasonal Lounge membership⁣
⁣
Wednesday May 5 - another Instagram LIVE guided meditation at 9am⁣
⁣
Thursday May 6 - the Quiet Mind monthly newsletter is released with tools and resources to nourish your practice .. along with an interview with Diane from @nunchi_oils on her meditation journey.⁣
⁣
Happy sunny days my friends.⁣

Tonight was our final Sandringham Twilight Meditat

Tonight was our final Sandringham Twilight Meditation .. a Standing Meditation that finished with a gentle and restful gaze on the setting sun.⁣
⁣
It’s been marvelous!⁣
⁣
Thank you to all who joined me over the past nine weeks of meditation.⁣
⁣
For some it was their first meditation experience, others were seasoned practitioners .. but we all shared this very unique opportunity to gather together on the ‘Sandy’ foreshore, in nature, under the giant wafting palm trees, feet planted on the lush green grass, the clear sky above us and the gentle rhythmic pounding of the waves on the beach below.⁣
⁣
Feeling blessed.⁣
⁣
After such a challenging year in 2020 it was wonderful to come outside and be together again for meditation.⁣
⁣
Thanks to the team at @sandy.village, the Bayside Council and Victorian State Government for this initiative .. fingers crossed this community program returns next Summer!⁣ ⛱
⁣
*I am now finalizing a new venue (in Sandy) for a return to in-person meditation classes. Stay Tuned.⁣ 🧘🏼‍♀️
⁣
If you would like to be notified of new Sandy classes - please message or email me hello@quietmind.com.au⁣
⁣
much love 🙏🏼 Sarah⁣

This morning I shared a Standing Meditation in our Instagram LIVE!⁣
⁣
Based on the ancient Qigong ‘Zhan Zhuang’ Standing practice .. it is one of my favourite. ⁣
⁣
Excellent for those new to meditation - you can start with just a few minutes - while skilled qigong masters can hold this form for 60+ minutes.⁣
⁣
In just a few minutes I can feel my body soften .. and my breath find it’s rhythmic flow .. and then my mind calms and quietens.⁣
⁣
An excellent meditation for:⁣
⁣
~ when you have been sitting too much⁣
~ supporting postural alignment and balance⁣
~ deepening respiration⁣
~ enhancing body awareness⁣
~ quietening the mind⁣
⁣
If you would like to watch this mornings Standing Meditation (video) I have just uploaded to two locations :⁣
⁣
1. Join the Quiet Mind Library where there are currently a handful of guided meditations (many more to come) - link in bio⁣
⁣
2. Join the Quiet Mind Mid-Week private Facebook group and you’ll also receive a reminder each week for upcoming LIVE on Instagram guided meditations - link in bio⁣
⁣
This is one meditation that is actually recommended for the evening to prepare for SLEEP.⁣

Super Full Moon - April 27th (& 26th May)⁣
⁣
Tonight we shall see a Moon that will look brighter and larger than usual - it’s a Super Full Moon.⁣
⁣
Symbolically the moon represents our ‘inner world’ .. and just as the moon illuminates the night sky, so too does the light shine on our secret shadow-self, along with our emotions and desires, our unconscious beliefs and feelings.⁣
⁣
The powerful Full Moon is often a time of heightened clarity and illumination (literally and figuratively) when we can see the fruits of our labour and life journey, and explore deeper aspects of ourselves, that we might be ready to clear. ⁣
⁣
This is big energy .. the brightest and boldest of the lunar cycle.⁣
⁣
Autumn is the season that also highlights the wisdom and power of letting go .. so you might take some time tonight to meditate under the light of the moon and journal what arises when you pose these questions:⁣
⁣
~ What is no longer serving me?⁣
⁣
~ What could I let go of, to allow space for new beginnings?⁣
⁣
And then give thanks for the light.⁣
⁣
⁣

Ooooh … I’m excited to share this little bottl

Ooooh … I’m excited to share this little bottle of magic with you!
I received this delicious Three Oms Spray as a gift from a friend, and so loved it that I had to reach out to the Melbourne-based alchemist Diane from Nunchi Oils to find out more.
.. which led to my latest ‘Focus On Interview’ with Diane where she shares some of her meditation journey and inspiration!
@nunchioils
You can read my full interview in the May ‘Quiet Mind’ newsletter just subscribe through the link in the bio.
This spray is delicious 😋 a magical blend of essential oils .. Juniper berry, Frankincense, Sandalwood, Angelica, Patchouli and Pink Grapefruit .. and I’ve been spraying my meditation space each morning before practice, and also sharing in meditation class. Our sense of smell is closely linked to memory and emotion, and each of these essential oils can brings a unique note or element to our practice .. Frankincense for example is known for its ability to promote a sense of peace, relaxation and spiritual connection.
In the Focus On interview Diane shares a little about her meditation journey, what her meditation and mindfulness practice looks like, and how to create a Nunchi Moment! Sign up (link in bio) to the ‘Quiet Mind’ monthly newsletter - due out first week of May. #meditationpractice #nunchioils #mindfulness #MindfulnessoftheSenses #meditation #essentisloils #FocusOnInterviews #meditationjourney #notsponsored #thingsILove #MelbourneBiz #meditationcommunity
