    3 Treasures Mini Series: Part 1 - Why You Feel Good… Then Lose It Again (Chi Explained)

    Welcome to part one of this three-part series, where we’re exploring your energy through the lens of Chi, Jing and Shen. We’re starting with Chi… your life force in motion. This is the energy that fuels your breath, your body, your focus, your ability to actually move through your day feeling clear and capable. If you’ve been feeling tired, scattered, pushing through, or like your energy just isn’t matching what your life is asking of you… this is where we begin. You have days where you feel grounded, clear, like something is finally clicking, but then it slips. Your energy drops and life gets busy. You find yourself back in old habits, old reactions, feeling scattered or overwhelmed again. Not where you were… but not fully where you want to be either. This isn’t a discipline problem, it’s an energy problem. In this episode, you’ll understand: why your energy feels inconsistent even when you have a “healthy lifestyle” how you’re unknowingly leaking energy day to day Where this mysterious life force even comes from and how to start building energy in a way that actually stabilises your life This isn’t about doing more. It’s about creating a state in your body where things can actually stick. If you want to go deeper, I’ve created a 30-day protocol that walks you step by step through restoring your energy through small, structured daily practices. And if you’re ready to experience this fully… not just understand it… The upcoming Nest retreat is where you step into this way of living, and your body actually becomes it. When you come to the retreat you also get the online training complimentary as a lifelong companion. Everything is linked for you below.

  2. Space: Yoga Nidra practice for resting in the body’s inner space

    18 APR

    Space: Yoga Nidra practice for resting in the body’s inner space

    This is a guided Yoga Nidra meditation designed to bring you out of the thinking mind and back into the body through an ancient buddhist technique of placing awareness on space. It’s also a powerful space for creating a sankalpa… a deeply felt intention or inner knowing that arises not from the mind, but from a place of clarity and connection within you. A sankalpa isn’t a goal or something you’re trying to force into existence. It’s a quiet, grounded truth… a direction your system is ready to move toward. In this practice, you’ll be guided to: Soften tension and release subtle holding patterns in the body Smooth and regulate the breath without force Move awareness through the body in a slow, deliberate way Experience the body as space, rather than something to control or fix Access a deeper state of rest where your sankalpa can naturally arise Rather than trying to “switch off” or clear the mind, this practice gently redirects your awareness, allowing the nervous system to settle and the body to return to a more natural rhythm. From this place, intention becomes something you feel… not something you chase. It’s especially supportive if you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in cycles of thinking and doing. Rest in the space of your heart and to listen for the deepest desires that are quietly ready to unfold within you.

    3: Why “More Effort” only creates more tension, and the one thing that actually creates true healing with Erin Liefeld

    If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the right things… but still not feeling the way you thought you would, this episode is for you. You’ll understand why on an energetic level and get a totally different perspective on why your efforts actually tend to keep you right where you are.  In this conversation with my mentor Erin, we explore the real mechanics behind healing, emotional patterns, and why so many women feel stuck in cycles of trying, tension and exhaustion. Erin explains her path into the world of energy and how she uses kinesiology and presence as the path to steady, embodied movement.  We dive into: Why “trying harder” often keeps you stuck The difference between goals and intentions How unresolved emotions from childhood shape your identity Why you feel overwhelmed, disconnected or like you’re not doing enough And what actually creates real movement and change One of my favourite parts of this conversation is the reminder that you can’t skip steps in your healing. You don’t go from A to Z. When we’re honest we just shuffle slowly from A… to B… to C. And the more you can be fully where you are (instead of trying to get somewhere else) the more things begin to shift naturally. This episode isn’t about doing more. It’s about understanding why “doing” isn’t working… and how connection, compassion and presence are the only things that will actually move you forward.Timestamps: 00:00 Warm Welcome 00:41 What Is Kinesiology 03:11 Goals Versus Intentions 06:17 From Goals To Connection 13:40 Inner Child And Resistance 18:17 Why Emotions Get Stuck 25:11 Tension And Trying 28:50 Connection Over Techniques 33:10 Erin’s Connectivity Practices 37:32 Origin Story Begins 39:29 Melbourne Kinesiology Calling 41:33 Studying and Mentorship 44:04 Respect the Calling 44:59 Mother Not Practitioner 50:40 Holding Big Emotions 55:15 No Parenting Ideals 57:57 Tribe and Compassion 01:03:59 Alphabet Steps Not Leaps 01:06:50 Be Where You Are 01:08:25 Rapid Fire and Farewell Where to Find Erin: Calendar link: https://calendly.com/erinliefeld/online-sessions-2025?back=1&month=2026-05   Practice with me online Website: ⁠www.melissakitchen.com⁠ Membership: ⁠https://www.melissakitchen.com/more-energy-membership Instagram: @melissa.energetics

    27/07/2025 ·  BONUS

    Roots: Yoga Nidra for Grounding & Relaxation

    This 12 minute nidra shifts the practitioner from holding on, to being held. The essential element of all yoga nidra practices and the beginning skill of mastery. We find where there are sensations of tension in the body and move them gradually from gripping, towards letting go. Choose this practice for days and moments where there is a need to centre, touch home base and make deep contact with the resortive support of the earth.
