We did our first Bondi Junction Supercharged Meditation class on Saturday, and we loved every minute of it. Everyone left calm and focused with a nervous system that works better than it did when they arrived. Sorry to everyone that wasn’t able to get a ticket, we can’t make the classes bigger than 10, although we have now added in a Monday 7pm class so we have two classes a week.

Well-being is not the result of one thing, it's the effective balance of multiple tools that, when integrated, creates a multiplier effect? But which tools are good? How do you integrate them? And where do you start? To help you answer these questions, Lawrence Mitchell, Timo Topp, and myself have got together to combine our knowledge and experience and turn 1+1 into 9 with our very first seminar. We are also having as a special guest speaker Sam Minkin, Vagus Nerve Expert. We have focused it on people who are Beyond 40 simply because that's where we are and we want to celebrate being beyond 40, 50, 60, 70 and more. Join us tomorrow, Thursday 20th of February, for an evening of food, movement and mindset to help you enhance your well-being whatever your starting point. Link for tickets is in my bio. Thank you for the photo @sonyal_photography :) . . . . . #beyond40 #mindfulness #meditation #nutrition #movement #mindset #believe #consciousness #goals #happy #healthymind #lifestyle #mentalhealth #mindfulleadership #mindfulnesspractice #monkeymind #philosophy #spiritual #wellbeingcoach #burnout #stressrelieving #vagusnerve (at Juanita Nielsen Community Centre) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8vO_wuAX8S/?igshid=1483plwis6rl9

It’s OK to ask for help even if you think others have it worse than you. At any one time, most of us are going through something difficult. Just because your problems might not be as “big” as someone elses, doesn’t mean you don’t deserve to be heard. We’re all here for each other, you listen to me, I listen to you, you help me, I help you, you give me advice, I give you advice. Most of us enjoy helping others, so give someone else a chance to be the helper for once! . . . . . #mindfulness #meditation #help #askforhelp #breakthecycle #entrepreneur #gratitude #healthy #innerpeace #lifecoach #loveyourself #meditationcoach #meditationspace #mentalwellbeing #mindfulnessmatters #mindfulnessteacher #peace #presentmoment #relax #stressreduction #wisdom #stressrelief (at Sydney, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7-ADgEgWzv/?igshid=9tpw1ubmkjz6

Episode 5 - The Vagus Nerve. AMAZING EPISODE!!! This episode is the one that everyone has been waiting for me to upload! If there is one that you need to watch from start to finish, this is it. This podcast was the first time that Sam and I met, where science met mindfulness, and this took me in a massively new direction. I started connecting the dots between the science of the Vagus Nerve and the ancient practices of mindfulness and yoga. I started sending clients to Sam so that he could repair their nervous systems, to make their lives feel less overwhelming and quiet the noise in their heads. It made my job of teaching them so much easier because they were calm and focused with a relaxed mind before they got to me. It was during this episode that the idea for Vagus Meditation was born, and I know I will look at this podcast as a life-changing, and possibly a world-changing moment. Big claims I know, however, watch this space. I interview Samuel Minkin, Vagus Nerve expert. Sam is one of only a handful of specialists in Australia that works directly on the Vagus Nerve. We discuss chronic pain, fight-or-flight, the vagus nerve’s role in calming the body, Vagus Nerve techniques and therapy, mindfulness and how it relates to the vagus nerve, burnout, long-term damage from stress, and stress-reduction. . . . . . #mindfulness #meditation #podcast #podcastlife #podcastmovement #yoga #podcasting #podcastaddict #podcasthost #podcastshow #podcasters #podcaster #vagusnerve #vagusmeditation #chronicpain #stress #happy #healthymind #meditation #mentalhealth #mindfulleadership #mindfulnesspractice #monkeymind #wellbeingcoach #burnout #stressrelieving #parasympathetic #fightorflight #flightandflight #stressreduction (at Bondi, New South Wales) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7rl-tmAfiA/?igshid=1k408bomryize

Have you heard of the Vagus Nerve? And did you know you can take steps to improve it’s function by stimulating your vagus nerve? I just had an amazing treatment with the Vagus Nerve wizard Sam Minkin. It’s like a 3 hour deep meditation on steroids (more like a 3 hour deep meditation on valium!). The vagus nerve is a key part of your parasympathetic “rest and digest” nervous system. It influences your breathing, digestive function and heart rate, all of which can have a huge impact on your mental health. 
The vagus nerve is the longest nerve in your body. It connects your brain to many important organs throughout the body, including the gut (intestines, stomach), heart and lungs. Increasing your vagal tone (increasing the activity of the vagus nerve) activates the parasympathetic nervous system, and having higher vagal tone means that your body can relax faster after stress. 10 years ago researchers discovered a positive feedback loop between high vagal tone, positive emotions, and good physical health, and more and more amazing research is coming out. In other words, the more you increase your vagal tone, the more your physical and mental health will improve, and vice versa. I’m hooked, and I’ve started sending my clients to see Sam and they have been able to get deeper into meditation faster, and the progress we make is a lot quicker. I’m excited to learn more about the Vagus Nerve, the science of mindfulness! . . . . . #vagusnerve #vagusnervestimulation #mentalhealth #traumarecovery #reducestress #somaticexperiencing #chronicpain #selfhealing #depression #anxiety #mentalhealth #trauma #recovery #polyvagaltheory #nervoussystem #mindfulness #meditation #awareness #calm #healthylifestyle #meditationteacher #mindbody #mindfulnessmeditation #mindfulnesstraining #personaldevelopment #stressrelief #stressfree (at Bondi Beach) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7VK8pfApMm/?igshid=tacdl6eqeolx

Things, people, situations… I realised some time ago that throughout my life, I’d been trying to get all my happiness from things, people, and situations. Even though things eventually lose their shine, people often let us down, and situations always change. Our world is full of things, people and situations. Therefore it makes sense to spend some of our time, perhaps even most of our time looking for happiness from external sources. However, if we pin all our hopes of happiness on the outside world (like I did), then we are setting ourselves up for suffering, and in my case, severe suffering. Therefore I spend time developing a source of fulfilment and happiness that has nothing to do with my situation. In theory, I have the tools to find joy in any situation. In reality, I’m at the stage where I can find happiness and peace in many situations that might once have been painful for me. How much happiness should we be banking on from things, people or situations? Lemme know what you think in the comments. . . . . . #happiness #change #externalhappiness #internalhappiness #suffering #joy #peace #beherenow #consciousentrepreneur #feelinggood #happiness #healthyliving #inspirationalquotes #lifequotes #mbsr #meditationpractice #meditationtime #mindful #mindfulnessmoment #mindset #personalgrowth #quotation #selfcare #wellbeing #mindset #stressless https://www.instagram.com/p/B5mPtRQgY88/?igshid=57auq6593idu

A big part of meditation is developing our concentration. In the same way that we train in the gym to develop our physical strength, we train our attention in order to develop our mental strength and focus. During practice, every time we lose track of what we are meditating on, we gently pull our attention back to that object. We do that over and over again. With time, we get better and better at keeping our attention on the breath, or on body sensations, or emotions, or sounds or whatever it is that we’re putting our attention on. We soon realise that actually, I’m better at keeping my attention on everything. Projects, conversations, music, films, exercise, everything. Practicing mindfulness helps us to stay focused on achieving our goals, in work, in school, in sport, or life in general. Has mindfulness helped you with your focus?

Rule number one is, don’t sweat the small stuff. Rule number two is, it’s all small stuff. Robert Eliot I'm not enlightened enough to accept this quote entirely, but I will confidently claim that 99%, maybe even 99.9% of life is small stuff. It just feels like big stuff. What do you believe? Do you agree? . . . . . #mindfulness #meditation #dontsweatthesmallstuff #enlightenment #enlightened #breakthecycle #entrepreneur #gratitude #healthy #innerpeace #lifecoach #loveyourself #meditationcoach #meditationspace #mentalwellbeing #mindfulnessmatters #mindfulnessteacher #peace #presentmoment #relax #stressreduction #wisdom #stressrelief (at Chibs Okereke - Wild Mind Meditation) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5Q7z7RAYs7/?igshid=1hqlcxjfeg3zs

We cover a lot in this week’s podcast with Nick Terrone, a psychotherapist and Trance Healer. Described as a Metaphysician, he uses a combination of altered states with heart-based mindfulness techniques to help others more freely express who they really are. I really enjoyed our discussion, and I appreciate Nick’s openness and honesty. We talk about Nick’s journey, his mental health and brush with suicide, consciousness expanding with plant medicines, Heart and Mind coherence, unified field theory, the programmable brain & the unprogrammable heart, how to know what the heart is telling you, and having the courage to let go of the oars. . . . . .
