**About the Session - Morning Softness.** *A gentle Christmas Eve meditation to help you begin the day slowly, kindly, and supported.* Before the energy of Christmas Eve begins to build, take an hour to land softly in your body. This session is especially supportive if you’re spending the day quietly, feeling tender, overwhelmed, or simply wanting a moment of calm at the start of a full season. We’ll be lying on the grass beneath the morning sky, letting stillness, breath, and nature unwind the body. **This session is designed to help you:** • Arrive in your body with softness and presence. • Let the intensity of the season settle and loosen. • Calm and balance your nervous system. • Feel grounded, held, and supported. • Begin Christmas Eve from a place of steadiness and inner warmth. **The Meditation session:** **We’ll begin with Yoga Nidra,** a guided deep rest practice where you simply lie down and allow your body to soften. There is nothing to perform or achieve. Once you’re comfortable, staying as still as possible helps the nervous system drop into deeper rest. I will guide your awareness slowly through the body so your mind can drift, unwind, and settle. **From there, we move into a gentle visual meditation themed around the softness of a summer morning.** This journey uses warm light, dissolving heat, and soothing imagery to help you release stress, calm emotional noise, and feel quietly held by the morning air. The practice is deeply restorative, and designed for anyone who needs a gentle place to land. **No experience is needed,** this is beginner-friendly, and completely guided from start to finish. **“Sometimes the most important thing in a whole day is the rest we take between two deep breaths.”** - *Etty Hillesum, writer and diarist.* **When & Where:** 🗓 **Christmas Eve - Tuesday 24 December** ⏰ **10:00am - 11:00am** 📍 **Edinburgh Gardens, Fitzroy North** We’ll set up on the grass behind the Rotunda - look for my yoga mat and a Large pink sign that says “Free Guided Meditation.” **Weather notes.** This is an outdoor session. If the weather turns rainy, I’ll update the event listing beforehand - please check the meetup event before to make sure it's still going ahead. Summer mornings are usually nice, but Melbourne likes to surprise us. **What to bring:** • Yoga mat or something to lie on. • Light blanket. • Eye covering or small pillow if you enjoy extra comfort. • Water. • Comfortable clothing. \- If you forget a mat\, I’ll have a few spares on hand\. 😊 **Arriving and running late.** Arriving a few minutes early helps you settle in, get comfortable, and ease into the space before we begin. However if you’re running late, please come anyway 😊 - just join quietly, you won’t disturb anything. **Everyone is Welcome.** Whether you’re spending Christmas Eve alone, with family, feeling reflective, or simply wanting a quiet moment, this space is for you. A warm, gentle morning to rest, breathe, and begin the day softly. **I look forward to sharing the morning with you 🌿✨😊** **Kathy.**

How the Mind is making the Body Ill! What the mind is doing to the body. (yours) Did you know that about 70 percent of the physician's current roster of diseases fall into the category of psychosomatic illness? Psychosomatic Illnesses are those which have a mental origin but are nevertheless organic. Psycho, of course, means mind and somatic refers to body; the term psychosomatic means the mind making the body ill or illnesses which have been created physically within the body by derangement of the mind. At today's meetup you are able to learn why is it that some people recover promptly from illness, trauma or accidents whilst others receiving the very same treatments do so slowly, not at all or relapse. When one desires to handle any unwanted condition in life the mind plays a crucial role. Why is it then that all to many confess they know very little about the mind or anything at all. The mind and the problem of psychosomatic illness are entirely embraced by Dianetics (the Modern Science of Mental Health ) and by Dianetics technique. https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/1/5/a/1/600_462605537.jpeg Dianetics means: What the mind is doing to the body. Trough the application of Dianetics technique you will be able to confirm that when one resolves the problem of human aberration (any deviation or departure from rationality) you naturaly get great response all around. (Not just body related) Bizarre aches and pains in various portions of the body are generally psychosomatic. Migraine headaches are psychosomatic. Arthritis, dermatitis, allergies, asthma some coronary difficulties, eye trouble, bursitis, ulcers, sinusitis, etc., form a very small section of the psychosomatic catalog. Therefore the catalog of ills affected by Dianetics technique is very long. Dianetics is something that anyone can use to help improve himself and his fellows. My own truth is that the hidden source of all psychosomatic ills and human aberration has been discovered and accurate skills have been developed for their handling. I also know that many other people have experienced this to be true. Dianetics is a path to knowing how to know, unlocking the gates to be better future for yourself or others you love or are responsible for. Only by reading the Dianetics book (or watching the DVD) in full can one get an understanding of the workings of the mind and the potential merits that applying Dianetics technique yourself may have for you. Amherst College Political Science Professor, Dr Frederick L. Schuman declaration in the New York times: "History has become a race between Dianetics and catastrophe. Dianetics will win, if enough people are challenged in time to understand it" Your own investigation into Dianetics The Modern Science of Mental Health is prudent and welcomed. It's after all very sensible to investigate personally why this explosive bestseller book has sold more copies than any other book in its category and is the most influential book ever written about the mind. The above are some of my own opinions, experiences, and observations. As always results obtained by the individual are up to him. No promises are made by me or anyone or anybody. Any technique no matter how good does not work for people that do not want to change, are not interested or have other agendas. Those that do not fall into those categories tend to do very well and flourish and prosper because of it. Truth is not what people say it is. it is what it is. All People of goodwill are welcome. Contact us if today's date or time do not suit your schedule. If one can not make it to our meetup class then it's recommended you get yourself a copy of the Dianetics book or DVD by contacting the event organizer. Know yourself Know Life!. Tanja and Michel
