YOGA NIDRA ~ Sacred Rest

Yoga Nidra means Yoga sleep. It is a specific way of relaxing the body and mind that takes us into a place where we are not fully awake but not asleep either. This practice is incredibly healing for the nervous system, for anxiety and for easing bodymind tension. Because there is no movement required during yoga Nidra it’s very accessible for anyone.

Join me on Saturday 22 November 2 - 430pm at The Hands On Retreat

Join Jacqueline Lawes for her Dream Healing 1:1s and Group sessions.

First group sessions are drop in Thursdays 13th and 20th Nov 11am til 12.30pm.

"The dreaming body, through its many fibres and filaments of light, connects us into all of life; our relationship with our soul selves, our human relationships, our relationship with the world around us and the whole universe. The dreaming body is like a luminous egg that sits energetically in the gut/womb/spirt womb area.

​Reaching for All Possibility; Opening into the Flow of the Universe.

When our dreaming body is optimal, we feel inspired, we hear our body wisdom, knowing what we want and how to draw our dreams to us, creating our lives with purpose and meaning. Through our dreaming body we can reach into all possibility."

FINDING YOUR VOICE - SATURDAY 8TH NOVEMBER
at The Hands On Retreat
Introducing the blue Saraswati, and the story of her voice.
For so much of my adult life, until the last few years, I never spoke up. I didn't fully express how I felt or use my voice to its full potential. Things have massively changed these last few years, and whilst I am still a work in progress, I'm delighted to share with you some of the things that have helped me along the way.
Together with Sally of we will use Yin yoga, mantra, sound and story to explore what the voice means to us and how we can learn to use it more confidently and authentically Part of this day will be sharing and reflecting on the story of the Blue Saraswati.

I had an incredible session with Meesh last week. I confess I didn't know what to expect, but had heard amazing recommendations from people. Having had energy & bodywork from many practitioners over the years, I have to say I was blown away. A combination of subtle touch, some deep work, chiropractic adjustments, trauma location & witnessing using kinesiology, and gentle yet spot on afirmations, Meesh wove them together with skill and flow.
I felt a shift in my energy body for several hours afterwards. I will definately be back. Highly recommend booking in here
