Change Your Breath Change Your Life Experience the amazing power of your breath to transform stress and tension and create more flow in your life. In these sessions we will use a simple breathing technique know as conscious connected breathing, this activates the nervous system and helps create new neural pathways in the brain. When we breathe in this pattern, we begin to enter into an altered state of consciousness which allows us to release stored emotions and trauma in both the physical and energetic body.  If your looking to release stress and create more space for joy, peace and love then these sessions are for you. Benefits of Conscious Connected Breathwork include: - Release Tension - Reduce Stress & Anxiety - Clear Emotional Blocks - Heal Trauma - Increased Energy - Better Sleep Why not join me for a session? You will be amazed at the releases you can experience with this simple practice. These sessions are a beautiful way to come together and experience the power of group healing where we all learn and grow from each others experiences. They offer the opportunity to delve deeper into our own inner worlds with the support and connection of others.  These are small group gatherings of up to 8 -10 people and no previous experience necessary. 

In the modern world we do not take enough time to relax. We are woken up abruptly by our alarms, we leave no time to daydream, and when we feel those natural lulls in the day, mid-morning and mid-afternoon, we power through with chocolate or a coffee. Being in a relaxed state, and specifically a Theta brainwave state, is vital for human beings for a number of reasons. In this state our cells repair, our nervous system restores, we recover from stress and process grief. As our current lifestyles allow us very little time in this state, our cell regeneration can go awry and our stress and grief can go unchecked. This Sound Bath has been designed to encourage you to achieve a deep relaxed Theta state for the majority of the session, the result of which can be incredibly calming and nourishing for your whole system. So bring a Yoga or exercise mat to lie on, a blanket, your cosiest socks and book now as there are limited spots available! Event Schedule 18:45 Doors open Ceremonial Cacao and herbal tea is served  19:00 Sound Bath introduction 19:15 Sound Bath commences 20:00 Sound Bath concludes 20:15 All guests to depart *Please arrive no later than 19:00    Contraindiactions Whilst both Ceremonial Cacao and Sound Therapy are safe on the whole, like many therapeutic treatments and medicines, there are a few contraindications to be aware of. With this in mind please read the below and if booking for more than one person please forward this email on so everyone is aware and in turn looked after.     Ceremonial Cacao Contraindications Between 6.45pm and 7pm there will be optional Ceremonial Cacao served, which can enhance your experience of the Sound Bath. If choosing to drink some of the cacao provided as part of your ticket, please make sure you are well hydrated before coming to the session, as cacao can be dehydrating (a little like tea and coffee). If you are on MAOI based antidepressants, cacao naturally contains tyramine, which is contraindicative of your medication. Cacao is not suitable for anyone with serious heart conditions, low blood pressure, or anyone on blood thinning or blood pressure lowering medication, as it is a vasodilator. It is also not suitable for anyone pregnant or breastfeeding. The cacao served during ceremonies is 20g per serving (based on one cup per person). The recommended daily dosage should not exceed 50g. The cacao will be made with 100% pure cacao, water and coconut milk. If you have any contraindications or allergies there will also be a variety of herbal teas available for your perusal.    Sound Therapy Contraindications The only absolute contraindication for Sound Therapy is if you are in the first trimester of pregnancy. Although there is no evidence that sound therapy would do any harm to an unborn child this is a standard requirement for insurance purposes across most holistic practices.   If you suffer with Epilepsy or seizures please let the host know in advance of the event. It is unlikely the sound frequencies used would trigger a seizure but by letting the host know we can ensure your needs are met. The Sound Bath itself is designed to encourage you into a deep state of relaxation that can produce imagery. With this in mind if you suffer with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety the Sound Bath could be triggering. If this is a concern please contact the host directly and we are happy to chat this through with you. It is very rare, but occasionally sound frequencies set unsympathetic resonance with metal implants in the body. There is no problem with this, but if you do have metal plates in your body please let the host know upon arrival so we can check in advance if your implant causes any pain or discomfort. If you require lifesaving medication please let the host know upon arrival so we can ensure your needs are met also.    Inclusivity Policy This event is for anyone 16 years+ unfortunately children under 16 are not permitted. This session is warmly open to all, irrespective of gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, culture or religious beliefs. The venue and event is wheelchair-friendly however please inform the host if you require physical support to enter and/or leave the venue.

Sacred Heart Alchemy - Cacao and Shamanic Reiki Drumming Sound Journey Come and experience sound healing with the powerful vibrations of the Reiki Drum and recalibrate your heart, mind, body, and soul, with the supportive resonance of the drum. Step out of the circle of time and into the circle of radical love – Rumi - where we join together in community and give ourselves permission to receive and nourish ourselves in sacred space! In this Sacred Heart Alchemy Cacao and Shamanic Reiki Drumming Sound Journey, I will be weaving together two of my favourite things, the heart-opening elixir of mama cacao and the primordial sound of the drum to bring us back into balance and harmony. This is a journey into the heart and together we will invite the loving medicine of mama cacao, to open our hearts and settle our minds, allowing us to tune into our hearts for guidance on what we need more of in this very moment.  We will then continue the journey deeper into our hearts whilst the sound of the drum takes us into a space of deep relaxation and recalibration. My intention for the monthly Cacao and Drumming is to tune into the season and respond to what is arising in the present moment.   Cacao and Shamanic Drumming Sound Journey Date: Saturday, 25 May 2024 Time: 14:00 - 16:30 Venue:  Santosa Wellness Centre, Edinburgh Exchange: £38.35 (+Booking Fee) There are only 10 spaces available for the ceremony, be quick to book your space! What is Cacao? Cacao is a heart-opening non-psychoactive plant medicine and is one of the many tools available that can help us tune into who we really are.   She supports us in softening our hearts so we can move from fear to love and connect with our inner wisdom.  Drinking Cacao in its purest form allows a deeper connection to ourselves our intuition and inner guidance, which leaves you loved up (with yourself), empowered, and in your heart. We will be working with delicious Peruvian ceremonial grade Criolla Cacao, directly sourced from ancient Cacao gardens in the Rio Ene Region of Peru. Drinking Cacao is optional.  Please do speak to me about other options. IMPORTANT:  If you wish to drink Cacao, please read here. [https://www.wildpoweralchemy.love/whatiscacao]   [https://www.wildpoweralchemy.love/whatiscacao]Whilst Cacao is generally safe for everyone, there are some contraindications, and it is important that you are informed. Shamanic Drumming: The rhythmical beating of a drum is one of the oldest practices of humankind and a powerful approach that promotes health and well-being.  When the body attunes to the supportive resonance of the drum, you begin to switch off and drift into deeper relaxation, assisting the body in releasing any deep-seated stress and tension and bringing the body back to its optimum vibration. Drumming has so many powerful benefits, including reducing anxiety, quietening our minds, helping us to relax and deepen our breath, helping to release old energy that has become blocked in our body and energy system, and overall, it can boost our immune system. IMPORTANT:   Drumming is safe and beneficial for most people; however, drumming is not suitable if you are pregnant, have epilepsy, have a pacemaker or have tinnitus. I look forward to sharing the magic of the drum with you! As part of growing our community, you are welcome to join me after the session for a cup of tea and cake in the coffee shop and connect.

The anxiety may have initially been focused on realistic, understandable concerns – such as financial difficulties, health, job insecurity or unemployment, relationship problems (particularly complex in blended families) or fears about the future in an increasingly uncertain world – but has spiralled out of control. Or it may have no clear cause and manifests as an ever-present feeling of being ‘wired’, tense or vulnerable, very often accompanied by out-of-control thoughts. The person may be hypervigilant, unable to relax and highly miserable. Left unaddressed, chronic anxiety can also badly affect sleep and physical, as well as mental, health. The good news is there’s much that we can do to reduce this suffering. This highly practical course focuses on giving you the key information and practical skills you need to lower anxiety levels and help people manage their own anxiety better. It concentrates on generalised anxiety (including generalised anxiety disorder – GAD), social anxiety and panic attacks, but also addresses how to handle anxiety that is a feature of conditions such as autistic spectrum disorder, ADHD and bipolar and borderline personality disorder. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GOOD TO KNOW This day complements the Online Course: ‘Understanding anxiety – and managing it without drugs’ Trauma, phobias and obsessive compulsive disorders are dealt with on separate practical skills training days (see “The Rewind Technique – Effective treatment for trauma (PTSD) and phobias” and “Obsessive compulsive disorder – understanding OCD and how best to treat it.”) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COURSE PROGRAMME The ‘How to Control Chronic Anxiety’ course starts at 9.30am and runs until 4.00pm. * From 8.30am Registration (Tea and coffee served until 9.25am) * 9.30am Understanding the causes, indications and impacts of chronic anxiety * 11.00am Discussion over tea/coffee * 11.30am Approaches to help overcome difficulties with anxiety * 1.00pm Lunch (included) * 1.45pm Anxiety and associated conditions * 3.00pm Discussion over tea/coffee * 3.15pm Using guided imagery and mental rehearsal * 4.00pm Day ends -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WHO IS THIS COURSE SUITABLE FOR?
