In fact you are probably not consciously aware of it. Getting caught up and unsettled with happenings “out there” especially with the pressures of recent interest rate hikes, inflation, looking after loved ones, our work; well life basically. " https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a5985441902b6d990b060e/1685986355420-UBRME85QZL5BPEGLO44B/image-asset.jpeg Musings - Wrestling the Sleeping Giant? Most of all forgive yourself when this happens. The quicker you can get your body back in to the rest and restore state by calming the nervous system the quicker you will float away. Give yourself a hug, breathe and remember on some level it’s just an earlier version of you still trying to grow you up and protect you. https://www.theinsidelife.com.au/musings/findingyourwaytocalm monthly 0.5 2023-06-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a5985441902b6d990b060e/1646458253819-7OYCS397UKC16LNLDAO7/unsplash-image-ljPZLS2UPEY.jpg Musings - Finding your way to Calm - When the world is in overwhelm so are we. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a5985441902b6d990b060e/ca2ef597-ce55-406b-af45-2b0435fff14a/If+we+can+move+slightly+along+the+continuum+it+means+that+we+are+not+stuck%2C+we+have+flexibility.+Once+we+become+stuck+it+is+much+more+difficult+to+realign.+Use+these+daily+practices+to+go+from+a+2+to+a+3.+That%27s+prog.png Musings - Finding your way to Calm - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a5985441902b6d990b060e/1f5b1935-db85-4435-ae0b-e0c21ed0d6bf/Untitled+%28Instagram+Post%29.jpg Musings - Finding your way to Calm - Too often our bodies are speaking to us, whispering their secrets; but we are pre-occupied with the mind and the tangibles, the things we can see and touch out there in reality.

That’s it. Don’t over complicate it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a5985441902b6d990b060e/e0197089-6e6d-4391-8d88-093d2a5eefa3/Artboard8.jpg Musings - Meditation - A Loaded Word - Change the Word So it doesn’t feel so heavy and overwhelming. The word Meditation is everywhere these days and it is easy to fall under its spell. It almost has a cult status. You are either a meditator or you are not (rubbish). People fail before they begin. Let’s reframe the concept. I suggest you create your own word for it. MeTime, Spaciousness Practice, Soulful Drifting, Mental Floating you get the gist. Me, I call my practice “Momentfulness”. The word sounds so romantically illusive. It is hard to rush the word. I love the images and feelings it conjures up for me, half the job is done. It is not largely used so I find it is more personal to me. My “momentful” practice. Play around with your word. Making your own name for the practice makes it more personal to you. Your practice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a5985441902b6d990b060e/265dd66b-85d4-4aae-9557-a522ccd491fd/Artboard5.jpg Musings - Meditation - A Loaded Word - Start Small One minute, five minutes, ten? You choose. The more you sit with yourself the more you will begin to sense into what your body needs. One minute is better than nothing. Baby steps. Make it lightweight or something you enjoy doing. A meditation might be reading a poem. It can be listening to your favourite relaxing music, or yoga mantra in the background. It may be that creative endeavour where you lose time and space. It may be a guided meditation where you are led. It may simply be sitting in silence. That’s not easy! Practice, practice, practice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a5985441902b6d990b060e/a2c89067-0a80-49ec-89b9-e6e00b7c6852/Artboard6.jpg Musings - Meditation - A Loaded Word - Finding your comfortable seat is key Often sitting still can be a challenge all by itself. You can walk and meditate at the same time – eyes open of course! You can sit on your couch, on your mat, on a pillow, on one leg it really doesn’t matter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a5985441902b6d990b060e/7fd9b635-0722-4a74-a673-8abff462e937/Artboard7.jpg Musings - Meditation - A Loaded Word - Props You don’t need any. Don’t get caught up in buying “stuff” it really is not necessary. We do this to enable us to go inside. It doesn’t matter what goes on outside does it? However, for those of us who enjoy a little ritual it is nice to light a candle or incense, play music or sit in nature now it is warming up. The objective is that “your practice” can be done anywhere, at any time and you will start to get good at grabbing 5 mins in an Uber or whilst waiting to pick up a pesky kid from sport. There are no rules only the ones you set. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a5985441902b6d990b060e/d2c8fa1b-b3d0-44b1-93f4-a3a0d2e48ead/Screen+Shot+2021-12-15+at+10.50.03+am.png Musings - Meditation - A Loaded Word - Get your kids involved This kind of practice will serve your children so get them in on the act. Children are exposed to so much more than we had to worry about, social media, climate change, navigating what is real news, where to find reliable sources, peer pressure, menacing illicit substances, under slept and over exposed to screens at night affecting their circadian rhythm. For my daughters 16th birthday we gifted her a Meditation Course hoping to give her some tools in the tool kit, but remember there are all sorts of meditation tools and courses and apps out there. When my kiddies were little we had a lot of fun reading this particular meditation book before bed. They are a bit short but I just added on to them myself. It was a wonderful way to let their imagination wander. I have such fond memories of this book it will be passed on to their children hopefully one day. Now there are so many to chose from try not to get overwhelmed! https://www.theinsidelife.com.au/musings/5tipstostaysane monthly 0.5 2022-03-05 https://www.theinsidelife.com.au/home daily 1.0 2025-02-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a5985441902b6d990b060e/c0c8fec1-5273-43f9-b5cb-dd90f485d9f8/Untitled+design+%2817%29.jpg Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a5985441902b6d990b060e/d6b286b6-81b6-4949-8e7b-3e11068095d7/0E1A5600.jpg Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.theinsidelife.com.au/sandra daily 0.75 2026-01-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a5985441902b6d990b060e/066c6f47-56e7-49bf-bf6d-1716623a793c/Untitled+design+%287%29.jpg Sandra - Creating the life YOU deserve.

In this E-Book I have chosen three great yoga poses or asanas as they are referred to in Sanskrit to find calm, relax the nervous system and ground you in the moment. Viparita Karani or Legs Up The Wall to calm the nervous system, stretches, strengthens and lengthens. A nice one before bed. Savasana or Corpse Pose a lying down pose of conscious relaxation or NSDR non-sleep deep rest. Improves respiratory and cardiovascular function, reduces stress, anxiety and insomnia. Using Tadasana or Mountain Pose to stand in your power anywhere at any time of the day. Yoga Nidra - A Sanskrit term meaning “Yogic Sleep” is a deep relaxation technique and a form of meditation. Included are instructions on how to enter the pose, the benefits and coming out of the pose to assist your practice. Yoga is a place to go not just for the body but also the mind. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a5985441902b6d990b060e/afdc393b-aff8-4156-9e0f-b937e0a3ec27/Untitled+design+%289%29.png Wellness Tools - Sleep Worksheets & Reflection Tools Quick and easy downloadable worksheets to go hand in hand with the Sleep Program and Sleep E-Book Bringing sleep out from under the covers.
