“The earth that you walk upon has a sense of intelligence and memory. Even if you live in a concrete jungle, it is important to keep in touch with the earth. ⁣
⁣
Create ways for yourself to somehow do this. If your bare hands and bare feet – particularly the palms and soles – come in touch with the earth on a daily basis, it will harmonize the physiological process in your system. ⁣
⁣
Try to spend at least a few minutes in the garden, barefoot, touching plants or trees, because the earth is the basis of life. This is a simple way to connect with the earth”. Sadhguru⁣⁣
⁣
GROUNDING is the March theme in our monthly online program ‘The Seasonal Lounge’ . We shall explore a range of meditations, mindfulness exercises and daily rituals to GROUND .. to be energetically centered, balanced and stable.⁣

Yesterday’s weather was just .. blissful!⁣
⁣
The sky was blue blue blue.⁣
⁣
The sun gifted us a delicious 21 degrees (it did feel a little warmer).⁣
⁣
The wind kissed the skin and smelt of the ocean.⁣
⁣
The trees and the birds were singing.⁣
⁣
The energetic ‘flavour’ was of .. freedom, magic and ease.⁣
⁣
One of those Late Summer days that almost brings tears because it is so wonderful to be alive!⁣
⁣
I sat under this beautiful big gum tree and listened to the birds enjoying their day.⁣
⁣
Join me.⁣

Our theme for March in ‘The Seasonal Lounge’ is GROUNDING.⁣
⁣
Being ‘grounded’ for our purposes, is to be energetically centered, balanced and stable.⁣
⁣
Like a tree that in Autumn sends its energy inward and downward, building its root system deep into the earth for stability .. in our online membership called The Seasonal Lounge we will be exploring Grounding in our meditation practices, mindfulness exercises and daily rituals.⁣
⁣
Monthly Membership available - link in bio.⁣
⁣
Do you feel grounded?⁣
⁣

I think my first experience of Qigong was in my teens (a long time ago) and because I have always loved festivals and retreats and been curious about alternative wellness practices and philosophies .. qigong kept popping up in my life.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But when I started looking around for a teacher .. I struggled .. and then a few years ago I found a wonderful teacher here in Melbourne .. and I even started Qigong teacher training (still a work in progress). So, I am really looking forward to meeting Mingtong Gu, Qigong Master, who is bringing Qigong to the Wisdom 2.0 Conference in March. Mingtong Gu, is a Qigong Master and founder of The Chi Center in New Mexico, and Wisdom Healing Foundation. He has trained with a variety of Grandmasters in China and the world's largest Qigong hospital. Each day at #Wisdom2Conf he will be offering morning qigong sessions in a space called the Movement Lounge, and on the final day an Intensive workshop “Cultivate Energy and Consciousness for Healing and Awakening” (yes, yes). .
.
Mingtong said in a recent interview that, “Qigong is also known as the Ocean of Formless Force. For us to tap into its real power, we need to open to this force within us and of course around us. This allows us to open to the infinite possibilities available to us not just to awaken our bodies, but to heal them, whether we have a physical issue or an emotional one”. 🙏🏼 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

In my meditation classes, I always try to provide a few options for sitting.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
A chair. Meditation cushion, I have three different types. A meditation stool. Assortment of bolsters and blankets.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
'Comfort over form' a teacher once told me.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I even taught someone how to meditate standing up (once) ... he was a long haul truck driver and there was no way I wanted to interfere with his sleep triggers. Safer to stand until he is ready to move up a chair or the floor.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Once you learn how to meditate .. you can pretty much do it anywhere and anytime you choose or need it.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Peace and calm whenever. Portable. Free.⁣

You know .. I do love watching and ‘getting to know’ people via their videos and Stories .. but doing my own - no way!⁣
⁣
But it’s Sunday and the sun is out .. I’ve been down the beach for a walk and spent a few hours with girlfriends .. haha and had two coffees⁣
⁣
And since I was sitting outside under my big ol’ fig tree, camera in hand . ⁣
⁣
I shot a few frames .. to let you know that my 7-Day Meditative Exercises Challenge STARTS TOMORROW⁣
⁣
And it’s FREE⁣
⁣
.. and I posted the video before I got cold feet and deleted it.⁣
⁣
Sun. Shadows. Wind in hair. Not ‘perfect’ .. but more entertaining and easier than I thought.⁣ 🤪

After stress, the number 2 reason people seek out meditation, is .. sleep deprivation.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Most of us are sleep deprived.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We spend our days juggling distractions, chattering thoughts and overwhelming tasks, feeling anxious at work or looking after the kids, stressed with the commute in and out of the city, all the while trying to navigate financial and time pressures .. and when we finally get to bed and turn out the lights .. all those unprocessed worrisome thoughts and struggles from the day suddenly take up residence in our head.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's exhausting.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And that ongoing level of stress sends danger signals to our adrenal glands = an injection of stress hormones cortisol and adrenaline – as the mind/body thinks you need to escape the danger (real or imagined).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This makes it almost impossible to fall or stay asleep.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Even when the danger is only in the mind!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Meditation is an amazing ‘circuit-breakers’ to stress, a real life-tool for self-calming, quietening the mind and turning off the stress response .. so that you can reconnect with your body being safe and cozy in bed, and finally get some sleep.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If this sounds like something you need - why not SIGN UP for my 7-Day FREE Meditative Exercises Challenge starting 17th FEBRUARY 2020.

Meditation is the most effective and efficient ‘tool’ you can have in your life toolbox. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A regular meditation practice has been shown to positively influence emotional, physiological and chemical states .. giving us a greater sense of wellbeing and connection with ourselves and the world around us.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I love sharing how our BREATH can be our Superpower.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Meditative Breath Exercises, drawn from traditional meditation practices and supported by evidence-based research, can:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🦋 Bring an almost immediate sense of relaxation, calm and ease (power DOWN)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
&⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🎈 Ignite an internal fire that delivers clarity, focus and energy to your day (power UP).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Both are different states of being, and both are states that we can engineer through energy and breath practices.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Having both these ‘tools’ in your life toolbox .. helps you manage and enhance normal energetic ups and downs that happen through the day.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I love sharing these simple and effective Meditative Exercises with organisations .. supporting teams in managing their own energy levels and wellbeing.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
