Welcome

Wow, another year nearly over and what a ride it has
been! Thankfully, Healing Times has counselled me
along the way; I truly hope it has supported you too. Our
theme this issue is ‘Nurture and Nourishment’, our gift to you
for the busy season ahead.

‘Nurture and Nourishment’, such nice, simple words, yet
how profound they are! As the magazine formed it struck me
of the awesome power of the articles inside and how important
these two nice little words are for the wellbeing of all those on
our planet. Again I am reminded how blessed I am to be living
in a beautiful community, as once again I am inspired by the
wisdom of the local writers of the articles within.

The repeated message that seems to come through is to is now on

hardest lessons has come around, again and again, this time

fall into place... or at least into realistic priority.

If we can access our pure self, we find that we are already
perfect: we naturally live in a state of joy, respect and gratitude
and honour of all things important. Nurture and nourishment
is a thoroughly enjoyable pathway to connect to ourselves.

So listen to the voice inside and honour your needs. It is

not a privilege to nourish ourselves, it is a fundamental need of

each of us, which brings out the best we can be... Jen

watching my mum DO everything. She worked, she cleaned,
she cooked, she created, she cried and she danced. There’s a
massive part of me that is called to that way of living. There’s
guilt attached to the thought that I can’t do everything. I
SHOULD be able to do everything. Cook, clean, love, care,
support, create, dance, evolve. But, there comes a time when
it’s important to say, “No more”.

“What you stop doing is just as important as what you start
to do, and what you continue to do. Stopping equals more time
for what matters most. You can’t continue to do things that you
fully resent and think they’re going to transform into enjoyable
activities over time, it just doesn’t work that way. Think of
resentment as a blaring megawatt STOP sign. And then stop.”
–Danielle LaPorte

Write a list of all the things you do, that drain you, that you
don’t enjoy or that you resent. Find a way to stop doing one of
them this week. Just one. Feel the empowerment of letting go
and choosing self-love and self-respect, over suffering.

Write

Yes, you have something to say. Write it out. Write down
your fears, your joys, your awesome wins and your
fabulous failures. Jot down your nightly dreams and intuitive
inspirations. Clear your mental blah. Get it out of your head!
Clear the space for new ideas, new innovations and new
inspirations. Mental clutter consumes energy. It takes up
precious space holding you back from living your vision. Old
belief structures and old painful experiences, retrigger patterns
of behaviour. Set your intention to clear your mind and write
it out for yourself, with love.

LIFE / INSPIRATION

Itt'sonoelavteer... Many of us live with deep emotional wounds in our being,
and with painful kinks in our relationships with others
By Brenton Phillis and with ourselves. But a profound revolution in 21st century
psychotherapy and neuroscience has shown how these painful
patterns are formed early in life, and that these wounds can be
healed: these kinks can be ironed out. Although our childhood
is always with us, it is never too late to heal and live a fuller life!

From conception we receive physical and emotional
nourishment and nurture from our mother. In our first 18
months or so after birth, we live in a close relationship of
attunement with our mothers and other caregivers, having
no conscious sense of our separate self or our needs. During
this time, we develop our capacity to relate securely as we
absorb the loving behaviour and emotions of our significant
caregivers (‘goo-goo, ga-ga’!).

Biodynamic Craniosacral deeply relaxing, non-invasive holistic therapy that works
Therapy with the cause, not just the symptom, thus facilitating
profound healing at all levels: physical, mental, energetic
and emotional.

I have been practicing for over 10 years and continue to
study with pioneers in this field from around the world. I
am still constantly amazed by the healing capabilities of this
work. The list of conditions that this gentle, but extremely
powerful therapy can assist is long. This work can address
any form of trauma, and trauma comes in many forms. The
beauty is that whatever happens in a session is exactly what
is needed at the time.

My way of working resonates with this quote; “Once you
are inwardly quiet, the Breath of Life will whisper to your heart,
and fill you with stillness, by which you enter the living field of
biodynamic cranial work.” – Charles Ridley
