As we cruise through the month of May 2O22 , we must reflect and stay grounded in our beliefs. In Queensland we have certainly had our share of rain, cyclones and unusual weather. This fills us with a bit of uncertainty and sadness for lots of people who lost their loved ones and homes. Its hard to have trust in the universe when we are presented with this picture but whatever the universe sends our way ,staying present in the moment always settles our ever fluctuating mind and emotions. Yoga and meditation is needed more than ever and if anything this is very evident here in the month of May , it is obvious that simplicity will help us cope with uncertainty and pain. So we must reflect ,breathe and practice yoga with a present mind, and we will fine peace

Reach for what you need but if its contentment you seek, you already have this, just look inside yourself and you shall see.

Do the best you can keep moving and believe in yourself.

Positive thinking and flowing movements can help interupt pathways the brain has produced to create pain within the body.

We can change these pathways by focusing on shifting the pain by moving through it with flowing movements and opening painful areas with the healing breathe. Literally peeling the layers away.

Once the brain learns the body has pain it sends a signal to that area, sometimes the brain keeps producing this signal even when the injury has healed.

The signal actually gets stronger as the brain gets better and better at producing this signal, this is where positive thinking and focusing on disrupting the signal will eventually stop the pain cycle without using drugs.

Yoga has been praised for helping people mindfully use the breathe to free the body of pain, people then realise the power of the brain as its forced to be in the moment where there is no pain and from there bringing control back into their lives.

This can start with a simple positive thought of happiness by smiling to reflect what you want the body to feel helps to make it real.
