Breathe space into your being…

One of the best “exercises” you can do is to simply lay down… in a specific way.

Today on my blog I share this one simple exercise to restore your posture, balance and natural vitality.

A simple embodied practice to reconnect body, breath and spirit.

The key areas of the body that suffer from our forgetfulness of our body posture on a day to day basis are the hips, spine and shoulders. We lose our ability to open up and extend backwards… opening the front of the hips, the spine and the reach of our shoulders behind the side plane of the body.

This passive stretch is a game changer in so many ways.

Read all about it in my blog.

See the link in my Bio for details: “One of the Best ‘Exercises’ You Can Do.”

Ten minutes a day could transform your body, your breath and your presence.
Love,

“The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.”
~ Carl Jung

Many times it’s not that we need to apply ourselves in an effortfull way or to strive to be all of who we are, but rather to subtly and steadily let all that we are not fall away.

Stretching, yoga, posture and conscious, meditative movement practices all help to liberate the energies that are ready to be transformed or let go of.

I know for certain that movement is integral to becoming whole, who you truly are.

Inspo for your weekend…
Happy weekend.

You might not be as bad as you think!

Meaning, your poor posture, that you’re beating yourself up about or suffering the consequences of - such as aches, pains and headaches - may not just be your bad habits.

Mobility underlies good posture. So for example if you’re tight in your thoracic spine and it’s limited in extension, you’re naturally going to slump. The tissue tension through the front of the spine and chest will pull you forward.

Then we have to ask the question about the chicken and egg… “which came first?”… the stiff spine or the poor posture? Because one begets the other.

So my point is, if you’re in pain and you know that poor posture is a part of the picture don’t just think I need to straighten up more of the time. You need to stretch and move your spine and restore range of motion … in the right places.

Food for thought for your Thursday. And of course, I’m here if you need some help determining where and how to stretch effectively.

Happy Thursday.
Love,

Happy Spring Equinox!

The days become longer than the nights…
How can you put the extra daylight to some good use for your body?

The light grows…
What area of your body needs a little more attention, conscious love, opening or lightness?

The heat intensifies…
What poor habits can you let go of and allow to be alchemized in the fire?

Looking forward to summer days. 💛
Love,

With love from Great Keppel. 🐬🐠🐋

Here’s a few moments of my recent trip to the island with the wonderful Salties - my ocean swim group - and with and

We landed on my birthday to stunning blue skies and turquoise waters and then it was one adventure after another…

Swimming, snorkelling and visiting the multiple beaches around the island…

The kind of barefoot 👣 timeless island immersion 🌴 with loads of laughter 😄 and friendship 💞 sharing rustic Glamping tents ⛺️ sunset drinks 🌅 a sneaky afternoon cocktail 🍸 (Margarita of course!), communal cooking and dining 🍤 songs 🎶 and card games around the fire 🔥 and lazy afternoons reading, sleeping or relaxing under a tree. 🌿

It was such a joy to spend time with all the Salties. They / we are a true testament to the power of being active and connected with others and Mother Nature and the health that follows in body, mind and spirit. I’m so grateful for this group in my life.
Bring on the next trip!
Love,

The cause of a lot of pain and suffering whether it’s physical (aches and pains), energetic (“I’m sooo tired”) or emotional (vulnerability, sadness, irritation, anger, holding onto grief, past hurts and so on) is a disconnection with your body.

Sensation or feeling is the language of your body.

Our ability to discern the subtle oceans and streams of perceptible sensation is infinite. We all have access to SOME of our bodies messages such as hunger or the urge to urinate.

But the realm of sensation goes way beyond these basic functions.

And the key to both our comfort AND our peace of mind is in the fine-tuning of our sensory perception.

When we develop a clearer pathway between our awareness and body sensation we both stimulate our natural healing AND make better choices to look after our physical and energetic wellbeing.

When you TRULY FEEL you will no longer OVERRIDE your body’s signals and feelings and you will NATURALLY move towards greater HEALTH and HAPPINESS.

Start your journey to greater inner connection now by simply stopping, resting in a seated or supine position and feeling whatever sensation is present in your body.

Your mind will wander.

Gently return your awareness to your body’s sensations over and over again.

You might be surprised just how pleasurable and relaxing this practice is.

The first step to embodying better posture is also better body awareness. Posture is a path inwards to so much more than a tall spine.

Can you feel this in your own body…

“Be still like a mountain and flow like a great river”.
~Lao Tzu

One of my all time favourite quotes, these profound words by the master of Taoism, describe the holistic duality of postural alignment (stillness) and mobility (flow).

You can’t have one without the other!

They are both intertwined and ever-present like Feminine and Masculine, Yin and Yang.

I invite you on this Monday to tune into your body and ask what you’re needing more of today. To sit or stand in more tall, centred, calm alignment… or to open your body and stretch your limits of mobility?
Happy Monday.
Love,
🌟Karakrista

And as you move through your day today, move from the stillness of your spine and Centre. 🟡

“Consider the trees which allow the birds to perch and fly away without either inviting them to stay or asking them never to depart. If your heart can be like this, you will be near to the way.”
~ Zen saying.

Chest and spinal opening practices literally open our hearts to a more Zen life.

Open to receive.

Open to let go.

Releasing us from excessive grasping or from holding on when the ‘Autumn’ season has arrived.

Keeping your chest upright, avoiding slumping, on a daily basis is one way to embody this practice.

Or try this gentle opener at home. Lay on your bed with one pillow under your knees and another under your chest. Rest your head back on the bed and spread your arms out wide. Lay here and breathe slowly, rhythmically and deeply for 10-15 minutes. You’ll arise feeling refreshed, upright, calm and more receptive towards others and open to whatever life brings you in the next moment.
Love,

Less correction. More connection.

Karana Posture isn’t just about your spine and standing tall.

It’s less about how you look.

And more about how you feel in your body… more grounded, more open and more in tune with yourself.

It’s a retraining of presence.

Not through working out, but through gentle, conscious and intelligent movement.

That transforms you from the inside out.

Your improved posture arises as a result of going deeper within.

Spaces are open now for a further intake of clients in the full Karana Posture program.

See the link in my bio. Or DM me.
Love,
🌟Karakrista

It’s how you enter a room.
How you take space

“I feel looser, higher, better posture, my shoulders are freer, my arms and neck feel longer like go-go-gadget style.” Lisa

“I feel lighter and more positive, energised but at peace.” Robyn

I have to admit that I had to look up what “go-go-gadget” meant to understand this reference! 😀

These are my clients responses to the question “how do you feel now? What changes do you perceive in your body and/or mind after practicing the Karana Posture Program?

Mind and body are inseparable. What we do for our body we do for our mind.

How is your body posture affecting your mind today? Are you fostering mental lightness and calm or contributing to a less optimal state of mind?

Love,
🌟Karakrista

As my face hit the ocean on Wednesday morning it took my breath away, so Friday I decided to walk in the national park instead and along the way I captured the intrepid Salties heading out through Little Cove.

This morning it was a long, cosy self-yoga practice at home.

It’s always possible to move your body in some way no matter what the environmental conditions bring.

And I think, way up there, near the top of the list of one of the most beneficial things I’ve learnt in life, for my health in every way, is to be able to simply move my body in such a way that I create a positive effect.

Whether that’s to ease pain or feel more juicy and free or strong or alive, or grounded or happy.

Learning and cultivating your ability to exercise alone and enhance the way you feel is powerful medicine and a life skill worth your weight in gold! 💛

If you have your home practice I’d love to hear about it. And if you’re ready to embrace this skill in your life send me a DM and I can show you how.
Happy weekend.
Love,

You can enhance your health in an instant when you attune your awareness to your body.

This morning at the beach I noticed myself huddling (shrinking) a little as I chatted with a friend post-swim.

Yes, I was a tad cold from the ocean temperature but I was glad that I noticed myself and adjusted my posture because…

Recently I discovered that I’ve lost a little height!

It was a shock, considering that I do have reasonably good posture.

Normally, I would stand upright but since being measured, I’ve been practicing elongating my spine more.

And what I’ve noticed is that this instantly deepens my breath.

The truth is that most of us don’t stand to our full height. We give in or collapse into gravity.

So, whether you straighten up, stand taller, consciously breathe more deeply, soften your shoulders down, ground through your feet, unlock your knees to activate your quads or some other little postural adjustment, EVERY moment that you consciously choose better alignment you’re ENHANCING the LIFE in YOUR BODY.

Happy hump day.
Love,
🌟Karakrista
