Over the past seven years I’ve been through a fascinating journey with chronic pain/OCD and subsequently discovering the tools to facilitate self-healing through mind-body medicine. This exploration has
introduced me to a wealth of knowledge, particularly regarding Tension Myositis Syndrome (TMS). Along this path, I found the necessary skills to address chronic pain and various associated symptoms. Through this experience I learnt that the healing journey isn’t just about being pain-free, it’s about embodying acceptance so deeply, that no matter what life throws at you, you’ll be ok. Now, I am excited to share these insights and tools with others.



In this episode I break down my learnings into six
categories required for healing:



1 – Educate yourself about Tension Myositis Syndrome

2 – Believe you can heal

3 – Release emotions and practice acceptance

4 – Live your life based on your values

5 – Shift your mindset

6 – Practice self-compassion and patience

This meditation provides you with an opportunity to practice observing and witnessing challenging emotions, with an attitude of acceptance and non-judgement. Cultivating this skill creates a space where we can respond rather than react to our emotions, which allows the emotional energy to move through our bodies to release and integrate.

This practice comes to a close with a space to offer yourself self-compassion, tending to yourself with care and kindness.

This recording also includes background sounds of birds chirping in the morning, which can be used as an external anchor point if feeling gets too much. External anchors can also include objects in your environment such as a tree, flower, rug, cup, or clouds in the sky.

This mini meditation is here for you when you need to take a break and connect back into your body and breath. You can use this at any time throughout the day when you need to anchor back into the present. As the mindfulness practice comes to a close, you'll be nourished with the sweet sounds of the Earth element Koshi windchime. ✨️

When we are feeling overwhelmed, it can be tricky to stay present and grounded within ourselves. The intention of this meditation, is to practice becoming aware and accepting of whatever is present in our experience. Moving from overwhelm to acceptance, with attention on the breath, acknowledging the body, thoughts, and emotions as they arise. Cultivating an attitude of non-judgement, allowance and compassion. ♡

Do you want to start meditating regularly but unsure of how to even start? In this episode I'll share some tips for getting started. If you're an absolute beginner, or if you need some more inspiration to help build this new habit, this episode is for you!

The intention of this body scan meditation to kindly step out of auto-pilot mode and learn how to check in and be with each area of the body in a non-judgemental way. Becoming present with the body, sensations and feelings by strengthening our awareness and meditation muscle.
