Words have tremendous power, and whether their effects are positive or negative depends on how we use them.
I cant express how powerful writing is , especially free form to release negative energy from our hearts and minds. 
Writing about traumatic or stress full events has huge effects on physical and emotional health.
I am not the only one who believes this.
That is why diaries and journals have been kept for generations.
There is also so much scientific proof to back up this theory,

In a society that values 'doing', it is so important to remember the value of rest.
Todays mantra:
'I listen to the messages my mind, body and spirit give me and rest when i am feeling out of balance.'

Experts on resilience believe we have the strength within us to manage our Circumstances.
Social Psycologist Dr Amy Cuddy presented during her celebrated Ted Talk(which has had more than 40 million views)that the following technique or 'expression'can shift the way your future unfolds when practiced repeatedly-
Raise your chin and throw your arms straight up in the air just as athletes do when they experience victory.
Breathe there a few full breaths until you feel uplifted.
Repeat this power pose till you feel a shift.
Try for a few weeks and let me know how you feel.
Here, we are enabling our minds to change our bodies ,and our bodies to change our minds for the better.

We cannot live this Life alone and feel fulfilled.
Today, think of someone who has allways supported you and stood by you, take a moment to thank them♡

We maintain our 'world' with our Internal Talk.
We renew it, kindle it with life, we uphold it.
Not only that, but we choose our paths as we talk to ourselves.
Thus, we repeat the same choices over and over again.
We can stop our habitual internal descriptions of ourselves and our world by stopping the Negative Internal Dialogue.
Today:
-Notice your internal conversations.
-Stop in mid sentence and go blank when you say negative or hurtfull words.
-You will notice within a few seconds, your internal commentator will make more comments, living out another stage play with friends, 'enemies', or both.
When you catch this happening again, go blank..again.
Exhale.
Once you learn to 'go blank' you start to understand your dialogue and maybe, even, find silence.
At first you might hear a buzzing or even get a headache , these are just subtle vibrations of your physiological organism.
Simply move beyond these vibrations and teach yourself to understand the stance of your internal dialogue.
This can be life changing!
And challenging i know, but so worth it.
Once you are able to spend time 'blanking'thoughts you will find silence for a few seconds at a time.
I know this can be very challenging.
Only then will you start to trust and understand the ideas and desires you find occuring to you immediately after you've been there.
These perceptions will come from your direct Knowing♡ 

Mental Health , i know is a big term and a heavy one at that wouldnt you agree?But it does includes our emotional, psychological, and social wellbeing.
It affects how we feel, think and behave. It also determines how we make choices and interact with others. It is important at every stage of life, from adolescence through adulthood.
The term 'mental health' is sometimes used to mean an 'absence' of a mental disorder.
Mental health can affect physical health and every aspect of our daily life and sadly, the ability to enjoy life.
It brings up a lot of Shame for many sufferers because they feel so alone.
In all my offerings i encourage students to observe , observe, observe and listen.
We have learnt through deep meditations to understand these are residues and coping mechanisms weve adopted throughout our lives.
As you breath whatever you are feeling, sad, angry, terrified, unsafe, regret, is encouraged to be released on the exhales.Throughout the years we have learnt to watch these residues, impulses, coping mechanisms and states of being as passing...observations that allow for bigger breaths.
Mala Meditations can also help to deepen your awareness, so can gemstone therapy and acupuncture .

Triang Mukhaikapada Paschimottanasana

Three Limb Intense Stretch

Desk jobs damage our health, when we sit for long hours behind our computers,

hunching over our laptops we put a lot of pressure on our spine and mostly our abdominal muscles.

Our abdominal muscles protect our internal organs and provide support for our spine.

This pose is one of the intermediate yoga poses.

It is a great pose to practice after a long trip or a challenging day in the office because of its many benefits.

Benefits:

-Regulates the digestive system.

-Makes the spine more flexible

--Stimulates and tones the abdominal organs.

-Helps to reduce constipation and flatulance.

-Improves the flexibility of the hamstrings, knee joints and hips.

-Helps to reduce swelling in the legs.

-Assists with symptoms of high blood pressure, sinusitis, and infertility.

-Enhances liver, kidney and colon function.

Somatic learning has taught me what it means to feel both at home in my body and more fully alive in my life.
I came to this work, feeling awkward about my body and my impressions, and dare i say, my expectations.
Throughout the years i have learnt to be ever more present in each moment in my physical, emotional and spiritual experiences.
I still return to those awkward moments..but today, i have learnt to return to myself over and over again...with the ability to do so ever more gently, with deeper faith.

Our physical bodies tell our Stories, One by One and they always tell the Truth.
If we choose to listen.
I choose to listen and i teach others to do the same.
3 tips on how to live and go through physical and emotional pain in the inner and outer realm:
-Deep Breathing-
Inhale as you hold the breath in for 5 to 10 seconds (longer if you can),then exhale.
Do this for 3 sets /10 x each.
-Ground your feet, lift the toes of the floor and set them back down.
Spread the toes (you can wrap a tissue around every toe intially to separate them,)
Do this a few times.
-Throughout your day ,whenever you feel overwhelmed, in grief or off balance , take 3 minutes to connect to your breath and ground your feet.

Yoni Mudra     (Generates a calm state of Mind)
Yoni /the womb
Mudra/energetic seal

My latest on @naturalhighmag.
Mudras set#1♡

A Mudra is a hand gesture, an asana (posture) for the hands.Throughout history, hand gestures have been used by all civizations and religions.From the priests and priestesses of ancient Egypt to Romans,Persians, Mayans, Gigians, Turks and many more.The word Mudra means 'seal', because a mudra creates an impression on the subtle body like a letter that is sealed with hot wax.Yoga mudras are symbolic gestures often practiced by the hands and fingers.

They facilitate the flow of energy in the subtle body and enhance one's journey within.

If you are new to Yoga the above can seem a bit confusing, as to which Mudra to use and what is the difference?Different areas of the hands are connected to specific areas in the body and the brain.

So when we place our hands in yoga mudras, we stimulate different areas of the brain and create a specific energy circuit in the body.By doing this we generate a specific state of mind.

The universe is made of 5 elements and each finger on our hands is representative of one of these five elements.

The thumb represents the universal consciousness and fire.

The index finger represents air and individual consciousness.

The middle finger represents connection.

The ring finger represents earth.

The little finger represents the element of water.

When these elements are not in balance we can experience disease in the body.

Mudras are a way of creating balance  within all these elements

'I stretch to new Limits from the Inner Power at the deep center of my Self.'
My latest on Natural High Magazine <3
For seasoned practioners all yoga poses feel the same to us. 
We will neither like them nor dislike them, just accept them calmly for what they are. 
However, it's hard to ignore the visceral reaction that some poses illicit. Revolved triangle (Parivrtta Trikonasana) has got to be one of yoga's least popular poses (im not joking). 
Its combination of deep twisting, hamstring stretching, heart opening, and precarious balance push a lot of people's buttons including mine.Which is why i practice it a few times a week.Because its benefits are amazing.

The Secret to Success is hard Work and Integrity.
And the reflection of a ♥ on my sunglasses.
With Sofie De Niet xxx

The Only aspect that defines Us is what Lives in our Hearts.

Your Talent is just the hook the Universe uses to lead you to the bigger picture.
Service, Justice work , Love are all worthy paths that will lead there.

'Allign my intentions with the Stars and all that lies within this Form.
Monitor my Heartbeat which Echos in Time with Earth.
Allow my breath to be the drum inside connencting me to the Sky.'
