I'm heading over the hill tomorrow to Nelson, to dive into a course on Fascia!

I'm SO looking forward to immersing myself in the classroom, and new information.

The fascia system has been speaking to me for some time.

I am deeply passionate about how we as humans, can heal and unwind our bodies effectively to return to a homeostasis, an equilibrium, and working with fascia is just one magical way we can do that.

Our fascia stores memories of past events, that can inhibit our ability to grow, expand and move forward.

Addressing what is held within physically, emotionally, energetically we can unwind and release these patterns, memories and trauma.

Join me on Sunday 23 November
4pm - 6pm
Yin Yoga & Cacao
Where we'll reflect on the winds of change, whilst drinking Ceremonial Cacao from the Cacao Ambassador.

Who knows what new I'll bring to the fore?

What is a Holistic Health Session?

Holistic to me means means whole. Working with a whole person – all aspects of self. Our mental, emotional, spiritual and physical selves.

Health too encompasses the whole. Not limited to physical health alone, but mental, emotional, spiritual and physical. All aspects need to be harmoniously in balance for true health.

A session works with your whole being on every layer and level of who you are.

We work with where you’re at, and whatever layer of awareness you’re working with.

Clients may want to talk out a mental challenge, to find a new way to work with it, to address subconscious patterns that could be limiting them from moving forward or creating challenges in their lives. Perhaps something is happening with work, relationships, finances, health and really – any area of life.

Some people are working on an emotional level. Navigating blocked or challenging emotions. Many of us were never taught how to address our emotional landscape as children, so as adults we are remembering and relearning how to. We need a safe space to be able to address these tender parts of self.

Sometimes we’re addressing past lives that are running this physical reality. Things that we just haven’t been able to address and clear until this lifetime. These are held in our energetic bodies until such a time that life brings them to the fore and we can address them. Acknowledging what happened in whatever lifetime it did, so as to bring resolution in this one. Our energy bodies hold all the information we live this life and others by. We have our Chakra System, Meridian System, Auric Field and more in which we can access wisdom and ask for awareness, understanding and healing through our fields.

Then there’s our physical level. We may simply be learning how to eat right for our hormonal health, to lose weight, to increase our energy levels. We might be ready to engage in a weight training program to building strength and bone density.

A number of years ago I had a hypnotherapy session regarding my souls purpose in the world, it's been something I've been conscious of for many years now.

We often think it's a tangible thing that's linear, succinct & clearly defined. But the trouble with that is that we are not that. I am definitely not that.

What I felt during that session was an energy that felt like home. The most peaceful, blissful, divine, softest most meltiest energy. When Mila asked if that existed on Earth I laughed and declared a very strong 'no'.

When asked more questions about this energy, it became apparent that my 'purpose' if you will, for human terms, was to bring this energy through to the planet. It made perfect sense to me.

And since this time ya know, I know that I've been working to do just this.

I now understand why nothing outside of me has ever 'fit', why nothing continues to & why increasing this continues, and I seek safe spaces of connection and harmony.

You know the path less travelled is the toughest, and that I know. I sit with a sort of confusion with what I've experienced to date. I long to find others who know this too - and they're a gold mine when I do.

I created Be Your Own Guru in 2015 because it summarised with ease listening to one's own wisdom and trusting the path.

But what if that path is nothing like your neighbors?

What if it creates the illusion of separation & aloneness?

I've personally found its enhanced the realms that are less seen, less acknowledged on this planet.

I feel like I live in an alternate reality.

Absolutely trusting in the unseen world that we are home to, not separate from.

This 3D matrix is not as it seems. Don't believe everything you see with your physical eyes. Trust the truth of your soul & it's knowing. Its revealing a very different truth. One that is wild beautiful & so so vibrant.

I am of no longer, and of not yet.

I read these words in Jenny of Te Whenua’s email.

As the shifting seasonal changes bring their Marlborough winds, I sit in deep contemplation of what no longer is, and what is not yet. The eclipse energies amplify this space, and the wind feels as if it aids in shaking free what no longer wants to be.

It is liminal. And so this Wednesday I surrender to it even more. I sit with my breakfast, listening to the wind blow, shamanic songs play in co-creation of the mood in the tiny.

These current energies are working their craft in highlighting areas in life that no longer work. Old patterns are revealed, ways in which we’ve done this life to date, have reached their expiry. They now ask to be seen, instead of meeting unfulfilled needs, before they hurrah to their next evolution in the great mystery of life.

These past weeks of immense change have brought forth a deep need to pull in. I, Heidi, the ever faithful Earth student, listens and follows the call.

Along this Earth life, we get called to listen to our deepest guidance. The quiet voice within that speaks to us, maybe as a whisper, perhaps as a knowing, or some other language in which you are wired to it. It’s the voice of reason that tells us to choose that option in life, to go, or not go, to that event, to move quickly to another location, and leave a relationship. It is the wisdom of our soul.

And when our soul speaks, we must not only listen, we much take action. How many times have you ignored the call, and down the way, been shown that you knew what needed to happen, and faced consequences?

The thing with our wisdom, is that it is OUR wisdom. It is our compass to follow. When we the people, are in alignment with our wisdom, this is a divine flow, a way that works in harmony with all. When we are not in this divine flow, we can receive experiences in our life, that invite to guide us to this divine flow and harmony. Many experience these occurrences as challenges. Our relationship with these challenges can dictate what we need to let go of, in order to return to harmony. This is our Spiritual work. Continued in comments...

I've returned from the mountains, back to the peaceful lands of Marlborough Sounds.

There is currently a sacred pause before action, so I'm here right now.

Change is again (ever) present, with a pending move on the horizon, which as moves do, can unsettle before resettling, so bare with me at this time while I honor this transition.

I will continue my weekly Wednesday Yin class at 6:30pm, and continue to hold the intention of finding the right space for a weekly class in Picton/Waikawa.

My services are by appointment at this time. So please feel welcome to reach out if you wish to work together to bring in clarity & alignment. 💚

While I was in Queenstown, I called upon a friend and we went out for an Astro Photo Shoot. I love his work & wanted something to commemorate my love for the mountains & their medicine.

If you find yourself there, I recommend connecting with Jordan if you would like a personalized astro shoot for yourself. 🌠

What a bittersweet moment we shared last night.

So much heart centered yummy, as Yama Yoga moves towards it's close.

Beginnings & endings, the cycles and seasons of life, are just that. Everything ends, and nothing is permanent.

I feel honored to have been here in the mountains in Queenstown for it's birthing, and again for it's death & close.

I'm super proud of Renee and what she has the ability to accomplish and hold, and for making this personal decision to pull her energies in and focus on family.

Creating safe space is what we need in this world. A sanctuary to return home to, to settle our energies - the whole of our being, and melt the rest away.

It's going to take time, but we're on the right path.

Much love from these mountains that hold my heart 💚

It is said that the journey from head to heart is one of the biggest journeys we'll ever take in our life.

I know this to be true.

Living from my head vs living heart lead are polar opposite experiences.

The later, laden with conditioned ways of operating in the world inherited by generations, collectives & institutions in my lifetime/s, the former, formless, guided, intuitive, feeling based & whole.

It's taken years of inner work, truth & integrity to be witness to this polarity. This powerful vantage point I have strived endlessly to achieve.

I am by no means 'there', as there never is a there. Only here. I am here. And here feels good. It feels peaceful & expanded.

Yin Yoga is a way that supports this transition. It does so at your pace, with your mind, body & soul as one.

If you're feeling at all stressed, short of breath, in scarcity, experiencing looping thoughts & worry, it's time to come home to you. It's your job to create a place of safety within. No home, partner, job or friendship will replace this crucial inner quest.

You hold it all within.

All of life's answers.

All of her mysteries.

You are divine magic. ✨️

Everything is only ever conspiring to support you to remember this.

Every challenge
Every heartbreak
Every obstacle
Every single bump

How you choose to face that thing can invite you to rise, or keep you in it, repeating another cycle.

You hold the power that determines which way it goes.

The key is always to turn within.

To face yourself, and what has arisen.

Get honest
Get still
Get true

And the way will be revealed.

These are exciting times we're in right now. I'm fizzing quietly.

I'm revelling in my Winter, and quietly cultivating.

How's your inner relationship developing?

As shared, I will be returning to the mountains again next month. For mountains, snow, friends, heart expansion & safe spaces.

Here is our second offering.

Our last Yin & Cacao event at Yama Yoga was sold out. It was deeply nourishing and healing. Think warm Cacao, permission too pause, deep breaths.

Theta Healing was woven through the class, activating subtle remembers of safety.

This time we're expanding it to 3 hours to allow our winter selves the same deep cellular nourishment.

Please feel invited to join us.
