NuCalm - Brain Health
NuCalm is a patented, drug-free neuroscience technology designed to rapidly reduce stress, improve sleep quality, and aid recovery by shifting the body from a "fight-or-flight" state to a deeply relaxed parasympathetic state within minutes.
[https://stamina.xosialx.com/nucalm.html](https://stamina.xosialx.com/nucalm.html)
It uses neuroacoustic software, a biosignal processing disc, and light-blocking eye masks to guide brain waves from active beta states down to alpha/theta (relaxation/meditation) levels
NuCalm uses a patented, clinically proven pitch and frequency matrix with non-linear oscillating algorithms to safely present your brain with precise signals, prompting what is known as a frequency-following response. Your brain synchronizes with the incoming NuCalm signals helping you naturally and effortlessly manage your state of mind by speeding up or slowing down your brain wave frequencies.
NuCalm has mapped all of your brain wave frequency zones and created products to safely and predictably guide you to whatever mental state you desire.
The amazing thing is, NuCalm is all-natural and works every time you use it within minutes.

Also, please read all details, in this page and eventbrite page
Hello everyone!
You are warmly invited to this immersive evening of Authentic Relating. This event will involve fun and interactive exercises based around exploring the theme, "What is like to be in connection with myself and others?"
This is a space for exploring feelings, sensations, boundaries, and self-expression through immersive exercises. This is about empathic collaboration and learning the art of expressing what is present in the moment.
These beautiful practices really encourage an experience of increased depth and awareness, in a way that is sometimes not available in our everyday lives. The exercises work by creating a framework to explore communication in a non-scripted, in the moment way, which edges away from habitual patterns of relating and welcomes in more life, more breath, and more empathy.
One of the benefits of practices, is that it helps with learning to become more aware of ourselves and others and how do we inter-relate.
\*\*\*NOTE: It is recommended that participants have some experience introspection and shadow work, through participating in counselling, sharing circles, meditation, contemplation, yoga, or any modality that is designed to bring people into contact with their unconscious. This is stated as a duty of care, as the practices in authentic relating revolve around meeting ourselves deeply and coming into contact with how we are occurring the world. This process can be beautifully enlivening, and at times confronting, but the space is guided in such a way that it brings as much holding, and gentleness to the process as to make those courageous steps to share deeply, easier.
If you are new to Authentic Relating or "AR" (as people in the community refer to it) and you have any questions or curiosities, please feel free to contact me via messenger for a chat. Also, there is a plenty of YouTube results for Authentic Relating practices.
\*\*\* \*If you are experiencing financial hardship and wish to attend, please reach out and we can arrange something.
\*\*please read Eventbrite details to.
\*\*you cannot attend without pre-purchasing a ticket through the Eventbrite link.
\*\*The doors for the event close 15 minuets after the start time, meaning, no entry is allowed once we have set the container, and spoken about the agreements, so please make the appropriate arrangements to arrive on time.
About me.
I've had a long history of interest in understanding my mind through various means of enquiry from Meditation, Yoga, Transpersonal Counselling, Sound Healing and Neurofeedback. In the last 8 years I have been deeply involved in the Authentic Relating movement immersing myself in practices and deriving tremendous insight into myself a growth within my own personal relationships as a result of this work. I have been facilitating groups to journey deeply into this work for the last 4 years and I am continually on a journey of getting to know myself deeper and bring artistry and humility to facilitating.
The event will most likely finish on time, with a 10-minuet buffer at the end in case we go over, there will be spare time to hang around and chat after.
There will also be a 15-minute break in the middle of the event, with some small snacks provided.

Your true self - guided Meditation - 10am Edinborough Gardens.
**Your True Self**
**A gentle guided meditation for unmasking.**
reconnecting, and returning to yourself.
So much of life teaches us who to be.
How to act.
How to cope.
How to stay liked, capable, productive, easy-going, strong.
Over time, these layers can become so familiar that we stop noticing them. The body begins carrying them quietly, in tension, in vigilance, in overthinking, in the feeling of always needing to hold ourselves together.
**This Saturday morning meditation is an invitation to gently step beneath those layers.**
Slowing down enough to hear what is underneath the noise.
**Through Yoga Nidra, somatic awareness**, **hypnotic visualisation, breath, and grounding nature imagery**, weāll explore what it feels like to gradually loosen the identities, expectations, and protective patterns weāve carried for years, and reconnect with something quieter and more instinctive underneath.
**The session will unfold slowly and gently while lying on the grass in Edinburgh Gardens**, surrounded by the stillness of the morning and the movement of the trees overhead.
**This practice may feel especially supportive if you are:**
⢠Feeling disconnected from yourself or your body.
⢠Tired of constantly overthinking or analysing.
⢠Feeling emotionally or mentally overstimulated.
⢠Navigating change, uncertainty, or transition.
⢠Wanting to reconnect with your intuition in a more embodied way.
⢠Longing to feel more grounded, present, and internally steady.
**This session is designed to help you:**
⢠Soften layers of tension and performance held in the body.
⢠Reconnect with your body as a place of awareness and guidance.
⢠Build trust in your own internal signals and intuition.
⢠Quiet mental noise and deepen present-moment awareness.
⢠Feel more connected to yourself beneath conditioning and expectation.
**Session Structure:**
**Weāll begin with Yoga Nidra**, a guided deep rest practice where you simply lie down and allow the body to settle.
Through slow awareness moving through the body, the nervous system begins softening out of alertness and into deeper presence.
**From there, weāll move into a long-form guided visual meditation** focused on unmasking and reconnecting with your true self beneath conditioning, expectation, and performance.
Using grounded forest imagery, somatic awareness, and gentle hypnotic language, youāll be guided into a quieter space beneath the constant movement of thought, where the body can begin communicating more clearly again.
**No meditation experience is needed. This session is beginner-friendly and fully guided from start to finish.**

How to Take Control of YOUR Mental Health
Itās time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind.
Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself.
Here is the secret of being positive and free:
Thinking positively is not enough.
You also have to get rid of the negative thinking.
Your mind is like a garden.
You can plant many beautiful flowers in it, but if you don't get rid of the weeds when you plant your flowers, the weeds will soon take over the whole garden.
A positive thought is like a flower in your mental garden, and a negative thought is like a weed.
You cannot expect to have a positive mindset if you continue to have negative thoughts dwelling and growing there.
So, how do you get rid of the negative thoughts? That's what this Meetup is all about. Attend this local meeting and find out!
The Meetup event will be led by a consultant who had helped many people live happier in life.

Want to Truly Heal from Emotional Trauma?
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.

In-Person Event: The Answers to Depression & Anxiety
This is an in-person meeting. At this meeting you will get answers to depression and anxiety. Find out the source of them and how to get rid of them.
Did you know that unwanted emotions like anxiety, depression, unhappiness, loneliness, hopelessness, anger, fear, or feelings of irritation donāt just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not due to a chemical imbalance in your brain from some nebulous chemical reaction "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.
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.
