Melbourne in stage loneliness
Hi beautiful ladies,
It occurred to me during the week that this stage of lockdown in Melbourne looks very different to isolation 1.0.
I was thinking how it has got very quiet, not as much happening on social media or people reaching out to do the zoom catch up's.
It is very lonely.
Then when one of my coaches said the following, it reiterated how I was feeling:
'This time it's different.
There's no talk of sourdough recipes and Marie Kondo-ing your wardrobe.
You've already been through so much - now it's about survival.
It's about the tiny rituals that can get you through...
and the community support of your fellow women that will lift you up on the days you can't'
It really is about survival.
With my background in Yoga and Teaching I know that when we stay in this state of survival for too long, it can have a detrimental effect on our overall health.
In particular the central nervous system - acting from a state of fight or flight.
This can lead to overwhelm, fatigue, disrupted sleep, anxiety, digestion issues and underlying anger, just to name a few.
We need rituals and the support of other women now more than ever.
That's where I come in!
I have been working with women for some time through Women's circles, support groups, yoga and now embodiment practices.
So if your feeling ALL ALONE like I am, please know that I am here to help...
Join my community support page called 'Sisterhood Survival Hub'. In this free group we offer a place to come and just BE, unapologetically and free from judgement. I hold a simplified version of the women's circles plus many more of my teachings. The women in this group are already a wealth of knowledge. Join here Sisterhoodsurvivalhub
Come and release some of your thoughts and emotions by moving into your body through Qoya embodiment practice. Every Saturday afternoon at 3.30pm, this class is offered live stream straight to your home. Check events here Freeqoyaclass
Lastly I will be a Mentor in a new 'pop up program' just for mama's, running over the next 6 weeks. This program will include tools, meditations, live calls and a place to be heard. More details here Returning
I am here with you all, I know how hard it is, I know how you are trying to juggle it all.
Please take care of yourselves in these times.
Know that it is ok to carve out some time to connect with your inner self, fill up that cup with any of the offerings out there that resonate with you.
Women who stick together raise the vibration of all other women collectively.
Much Love
