Do you have a veggie patch? 🥕🥒🍅 Have you

Do you have a veggie patch?
🥕🥒🍅
Have you ever contemplated growing your own organic vegetables? How amazing would it be knowing exactly where the food you eat has come from- your very own garden. And on top of that, gardening and planting is an amazing way to support your earth element and therefore your digestive system and therefore your grounding and stability.

I am very proud to say that these beautiful tomatoes are part of our vegetables garden. We didn’t start this garden from scratch but were fortunate enough to have adopted it from the beautiful people we bought our house from. We are now adding to the wonderful array of existing fruits 🍎, veggies🍅 and herbs, extras that tie into our weekly menu.

If you haven’t started, or like me always dreamed about it but still haven’t done anything about it- now is the time⏳

What skills do you we need to teach our children to develop strength, discipline, confidence and the ability to defend themselves?
•
I believe with all my heart that we need to give them the right tools to survive this world and it took me almost 2 years but I was determined to find the right place for my girls to be as enthusiastic as I am to learn Martial Arts 🥋@sunshinecoastmartialarts
•
It is also a very good way to move their Qi and smooth their Liver energy. With all the frustration children can experience when growing up and being told what to do in school 📚and at 🏠 , it is important to find ways children can also outwardly express all that pent up energy ⚡️

This is my addiction - the sea!
🌊
We all have an addiction but-
who said that an addiction has to be something negative??

Ok, ok, by definition- “an addiction harms you and yet, you continue to engage in the same behaviour”- that’s an addiction
- not really a good thing🤔

So, maybe for me, the sea is more like a passion, I NEED to see it every day, it LIFTS my mood, it can ENERGISE me, it makes me feel as there are endless possibilities🏄‍♀️

The sea is definitely my passion❤️
So why not replace your addiction that may be harmful with a passion that can fill you up and give you so much more?

Walk.🚶 Yes, walk! 🚶🏿‍♀️ Or run 🏃

Walk.🚶
Yes, walk! 🚶🏿‍♀️
Or run 🏃🏼‍♀️if that is your thing! But let’s face it- running isn’t for everyone.🤷‍♀️

So it’s ok to just walk !

Walking can :
-Increase your blood 🩸 circulation
-Help your lymph system - remove toxins 🤢out of your body
-Calm your #mind 🤯 (happy mind-happy body)
-Help oxygen flow

Walk daily for 10-20mins to start with. Slowly increase it to 30mins as it becomes part of your daily routine.

Not too hard, right?

Big goals.
Small steps🪜.

The wood element in Chinese Medicine associated with a period of flourishing and growth📈
•
It plays a major role
in kids lives as they are constantly growing.
•
The combination of nature @mcmartinsfarm
and activity ( picking 🍓) is a great way to support that element 🪵and keep the little ones happy 😊
•
According to @childmindinstitute recent studies have exposed the necessity of spending time outdoors. It builds confidence , promotes creativity and imaginations, teaches responsibility, makes kids think 🤔 and reduces stress and fatigue.

“Broken sequence” - Lu7 acupuncture poin

“Broken sequence” - Lu7 acupuncture point

One of my personal favourite points used in the clinic- especially when one is experiencing grief & sadness 😔 and those feelings that have been held onto and not expressed.

This point combined with another point (Li4) can also help detoxification of the body, eliminate toxins from mind 🤯and spirit.

Lung 🫁 is the receiver of Qi- the entrance, whilst the large intestine is drainer-the exit of what is no longer needed.
Both represent the beginning 🔰and the end 🔚

The point is also used for other issues such as headaches, migraines, nose blocked or loss of smell, water retention and more, all depends on differential diagnosis as always ❤️

Do you always feel cold?
Even when it’s not really winter….?🥶
•
🤔
Have you started your morning with a smoothie 🧋packed with ice? Do you tend to eat mainly raw foods that are cold in nature?
•
Cold can constrict -slow - stop - block- weaken.
•
•
Too much cold in the body can impact the flow and circulation of bodily fluids, that can lead to blood stasis expressed in problems such as endometriosis and pain.

There is a strong correlation between the temperature of your food to how you feel.
•
So if you are feeling cold it is advisable to eat warm cooked foods (what is more amazing than soup??), you can also try drinking Cinnamon tea or just pop some socks on your feet :)
•
In the clinic, other than using points that can help warming the body and increasing your energy, we will probably also use wonderful heating therapies such as #heatlamp or #moxa.
•
Listen to your body ❤️

A Buddhist saying Sometimes the best support you

A Buddhist saying

Sometimes the best support you can give someone is actually just being there to listen👂
Being quiet, without advising them about the next step they should take, without giving your opinion about the situation, just listen and let them find the answer within.

The life of a parent…
Prepare for school 📘, work 💼 check up appointments, lunch🍜, work again, reports, pick up time, prepare for after school 📚activities, 🏎driving to swimming 🏊‍♀️ , bring back from swimming, showers… no!
Thanks to my ❤️lovely husband .. I dropped the kids off to him at home🏠 for 20 mins before he is out for his 🏊‍♀️ and quickly drove to see this!
If we don’t make even that brief time to do what we love we are just rats in a race.. Break the routine, take a little time out from your busy schedule each and every day, even if it’s just for a 20 min swim 🏊‍♂️ in the sea or some other thing you appreciate doing that will bring you some down time to help you lift up your eyes 👀to behold the magnificence💫 around us.. xx

Nature is a friend indeed❤️

Since ancient time humanity understood the therapeutic benefits of being at one with the natural world.

Hippocrates himself for example highlighted the necessity of “airs, waters, and places”, for physical and mental well-being.

In a frantic world ask yourself- When was the last time you bonded with nature?

“Humans are a tiny part in a massive universe swirling around “

Observing the full force of nature makes me feel humbled and grateful for our very existence🙏

At the same time, looking at the ocean always reminds me of the endless possibilities out there -

everything is possible if you put your mind to it💫

When was the last time you felt one with nature ?

When was the last time you felt one with nature ?

It’s a good idea to support all our elements and put some extra time into the areas where we feel a bit less balanced.

I feel very fortunate to live in the #sunshinecoast and I do believe that a dip in the sea is the answer to every problem 😛
After all it can revive our deepest energy and nourish our Water Element. Helping us to finding once again that strong sense of will power to quieten down our fears.

But this weekend we did something different, we stayed for a few nights #noosahinterland which felt like
a good boost for our Wood Element.
The Woood Element is related to growth and creativity, but being imbalanced it could bring stress, anger and frustration.

And anyway, what’s better than
breathing fresh air, feeling the land under your feet and being surrounded by beautiful animals, which all have a name and a story behind them and were rescued by the gorgeous couple at @pinbarrengreenlodgesnoosa
Did you go anywhere recently that made you feel very good??
It may be related to some imbalances you have within and maybe this is exactly what your body needed.

How would you get there if you don’t know where

How would you get there if you don’t know where you are going ?

In life, same as when you are planning a holiday🏖, you need to decide where is your destination 🖼

When planning a trip, you select a destination, what to pack🧳, how to get there, same can be said with life.

If you are walking about with no intention it may be nice for a while🧐
to explore, to live in the moment🏄‍♀️ & to go with the flow, to see what happens and what opportunities life brings.

Saying that, if you do feel that you need a change👆🏻, there is something else you desire or another place 🏔you like to be in - you need to make plans!🗓

You need to have a destination in mind, so you can find your path and the steps to get there.
Your vision could simply be a better you, maybe just physically - a healthier you or maybe mentally - a happier 🤣you.
What ever it is that you inspired to be or inspire to have, you have to draw a roadmap for yourself pointing you towards ➡️the final destination and the path will follow.

Create who you want to be !🧘🏻

Our loved ones will always have our best interest

Our loved ones will always have our best interest at heart yet not everyone will agree with your ultimate decisions in life.

Sometimes their perception of our situations are moulded by their own experiences, sometimes it’s because they see things differently and sometimes it’s because they have an idea of who you are which may be different to how you see yourself.

As much as I believe in asking for advice and being open to other people’s ideas, it is still up to us as individuals to decide what feels right and what we choose to take in or not.

Stay true to your own heart, this is your way💖

Suffer from headaches? • The fantastic Feng Chi

Suffer from headaches?
•
The fantastic Feng Chi (GB20) is found in a depression between the origins of the sternomastoid muscle and the trapezius muscle.

I love this point! I often guide my patients how to locate it and massage it gently at home.
I find that not only structurally energy tends to get blocked in that area between the head and the neck, it especially applies to this day and age as people tend to have their head constantly down looking at their phones which disturbs the free flow in their neck.

Indications of the point are for:

•Exterior diseases of chills and fever with signs such as headaches, red sore eyes, nasal congestion/discharge or sore throat.

•Disorders of the senses such as visual disorders, nose bleed or tinnitus.

•The brain for mental or neurological disorders such as loss of memory or seizures.

•Issues of the neck, shoulders and upper back.

•Hypertension (in Chinese medicine this is relate to Hypertension from Liv yang Rising)

Give your kids the experience of nature 🍃🍂
•
In such a materialistic world we live in, it’s important to let your kids experience nature and be one with nature.
Even if it’s only little moments of playing outside, planting some flowers 🌹 or seeing the majesty of the setting sun ☀️
•
It’s us mums and dads that raise the next generation, so let us introduce the kids to the land, the 🌊 , the sky 🌌 and all of the animal world life aside from us humans.
•
Don’t let them get lost in the media👩🏼‍💻, or in the materialistic world.
Show them what is really important- to be aware of our place alongside the natural world.
