EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique)

**About the Session:** **When & Where?** 🗓 **Sunday at 9am.** This event is on Sunday. **⏰ 1 hour session** **📍 Edinburgh Gardens, Fitzroy north** \- general area behind the Rotunda on the grass\. Melbourne\. (There is a pin in the location and you can also look in the image gallery to see where to meet on the map and what to look out for .) **🌧️Weather** : Because this event is in the park - If the weather is raining and unlikely to let up I will have to cancel the event. Please check the event listing before attending to make sure it's still going ahead. Melbourne weather is a tad unpredictable! **About the Session: Morning Renewal** Settle in for an hour of gentle Yoga Nidra and a morning-light visual meditation designed to help you soften the week behind you and begin again with clarity. **This practice is designed to help you:** • Rest your body fully and arrive centred for the day ahead. • Calm and regulate your nervous system. • Feel a sense of renewal, spaciousness, and inner steadiness. **We’ll begin with Yoga Nidra, a guided practice where you simply lie down and allow your body to sink into deep rest.** Often described as the space between waking and dreaming, Yoga Nidra quiets the mind and releases physical tension. There is nothing to perform. You only need to follow my voice as I guide your awareness slowly through the body and breath. **From there, I’ll lead you into a visual meditation inspired by the softness of early morning light.** Through imagery of warm dawn, gentle illumination, and a quiet inner garden, the practice invites you to release the residue of the week and reconnect with a sense of beginning again. This journey helps dissolve heaviness, clear the mind, and open space for whatever new energy wants to grow in your life. **No prior experience is needed, just come as you are. Everyone is welcome!** The meditation session is continuously guided by my voice and if you have not tried meditation before - this is a great way to start. **What to bring?** * A yoga mat to lie on and a blanket. (If you have forgotten to bring one still come, I will have some extra mats in case 😊) * A pillow or eye covering if you like extra comfort. * Warm layers, please wear comfortable clothing (it can get very nippy in the park when lying still. Please rug up 🌿) **Attending:** * **If you haven’t RSVP’d and want to come last minute, you’re always welcome to join, the more the merrier! I will have a few mats on hand just in case.** 😊 **Starting set up:** We’ll start the meditation session at 9am on Sunday. Coming a little early helps you settle, get comfortable, and land in the space before we begin. **Running late:** Please know, if you’re running late, there’s no stress at all. Just join quietly whenever you arrive. You won’t be disrupting anything and your presence is welcome at any point during the session. 😊 I am also running a Hatha yoga session before this starting at 8am- 8.45am, if you would like to come to that one as well please click attending one both event listings. 😊🙏 **Looking forward to seeing you there 🌿✨** **Kathy 😊**

**Hatha Yoga - Breath & Grounding** **When & Where?** 🗓 **Saturday at 9:00am** ⏰ **45-minute session** 📍 **Edinburgh Gardens, Fitzroy North - behind the Rotunda on the grass** (Map pins + image gallery available on the event.) 🌧️ **Weather:** Outdoor sessions may be cancelled if rain is likely. Please check the event page beforehand. **About the Session: Hatha Yoga - Breath & Grounding** This second session focuses on slow, grounding movements and breath-led stability. It is completely beginner-friendly, with simple shapes and a calm pace that helps you connect inward. **Breath & Grounding** **One of the foundations of Hatha yoga is the understanding that breath shapes the state of the mind.** When the breath is slow, the mind becomes quiet; when the breath is steady, the body feels supported. **In this session, we focus on grounding - using breath and simple shapes to feel held by the earth beneath us.** This practice teaches us that steadiness isn’t something we force. It’s something we allow. We’ll move through slow, supportive postures that help the mind settle and the body drop into a steadier rhythm. This class is perfect for beginners or anyone wanting a soft reset for the nervous system. We finish with a brief rest to integrate the breath and grounding theme. **What to Bring** • Yoga mat • Warm layers • Comfortable clothing • Optional small cushion (I will have a few extra Mats. please try to bring your own, but Mats available if needed 😊) *** **Attending** if you havent RSVP’d and want to come last minute, you're more then Welcome. more the merrier 😆✨️. **Starting Setup** We begin at **8:00am**. Arriving early helps you settle, find your spot, and ease into the morning. **Running Late?** No problem at all. Join quietly when you arrive - you won’t disrupt anything 😊 **Meditation session after this hatha yoga class - session starts at 9am.** If you would like to come to both sessions please RSVP for both events. 😆🙏 **Excited to practice together** 🌾✨ **Kathy**

Why are we unhappy? Where does emotional pain come from? Studies show that people who suffer from long-term emotional pain have painful experiences in their lives that were never fully resolved in their mind. In other words, there were issues in the past that were not completely dealt with. This can include abuse in childhood, breakups, divorce, death of a loved one, to name a few. How do you know whether you have gotten over something painful? Here is an easy test: Do you still have attention on what had happened to you? For instance, do you still find yourself thinking about something painful that you went through? If you are, then you are not over it. In fact, in severe cases, people find themselves playing a "tape" in their mind over and over again. So how do you heal from your past? How do you stop the "tape" playing in your mind? In this meeting, you will learn a technique to help you with that. Come join us! Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there.

This is an in-person meeting. Did you know that unwanted emotions like loneliness, sadness, hopelessness, anger, fear, anxiety, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not chemical imbalance in your brain due to some nebulous chemical reactions by chance. Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you. The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life. For instance, let's say you are already carrying a huge load on your back, then you cannot take on much more, but, let's say something else happens to you, such as the difficulties from the Pandemic, then the resultant combined weight on you can take you over the edge, kind of like the straw that break the camel's back. When this happens, people's attention usually goes to the straw that was added, but actually the majority of the weight had come from the huge load that were already there, holding a person down and causing a person issues. So how do you remove the huge load that was already there? How do you lighten them up? Is it possible to get rid of them? That is what this meeting will be all about. Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life.

The emotional pain from past bad experiences easily lingers in the present, making it hard to enjoy life and create your future. Even when you think you've moved on, the negative emotions can be triggered, sending you back into the pain of that experience. And we are talking about pain; emotions such as grief, depression, anxiety, fear (or terror), boiling anger, simmering resentment, feelings of shame, blaming and regret can leave you incapacitated to a greater or lesser degree. In this local event we will be discussing the reasons why these past bad experiences have the power to affect you long after they occurred. We'll go over why the emotional pain can be so strong. We'll also discuss some simple solutions to overcome your emotional pain and be free to fully enjoy your life again. Examples of painful experiences include: * A broken relationship or divorce. * Death or loss of a loved one. * Death of a pet. * A sudden shock or bad news. * A betrayal. * Being part of an abusive relationship. * A bad injustice. * Loss of a job, position or business. * A grave illness or injury. The negative emotions from these experiences don't just go away on their own. But the good news is there is a way to clear them out of your way.
