Meditation and the Mind

Meditation provides the mind with the ability to be still and calm.  As we let go of the tensions in our body, the brain makes endorphins, DHEA, human growth hormone, serotonin and a number of other hormones and neuro-chemicals related to relaxation, stress release and well being.  When the brain produces these chemicals it gives us clarity, calmness and contentment.  It also enables us to stabilise our emotions making our quality of life happier, healthier and more fulfilling.  So the saying is true "A healthy mind is a healthy body".

When practiced at least twice a day, meditation is excellent to act as a doorway to the subconscious mind, healing any deep emotional traumas (suffering) or pain that is otherwise unable to be accessed through the conscious mind.  Meditation also gives us the ability to keep aligned with our sub-conscious or "space consciousness" which leads to enlightenment.  We then have the ability to make wise life choices and act according to our true nature or our intuition.  When we are still and acknowledge the space or the vastness that is within us; we know then which direction to take.

A personalised service for clients wanting specific areas of their life to heal, grow or manifest is offering by creating a specialised meditation specifically tailored to your needs.  After a one hour consultation, to ascertain your requirements, a meditation is then created with a follow up session to experience the meditation personally. 

A course in meditation is also available for those wanting to find out more about the benefits and how meditation affects our bodies in a physical way and how to allow more space into your life.  It is called The Meditation and Relaxation Course.  More information here.


Group Meditation

Full and New Moon Meditation Group

The Full and New Moon Meditation Group has been created to align your energy with that of the energy of nature.  As some of you may already know, the energy of the moon has a very profound effect on the earth, in particular, the tides.  With majestic regularity the moon causes the ebb and flow of the waters for our planet, and since our bodies are over 90 per cent water, the Moon also causes the ebb and flow of our moods and emotions.  The explanation of the rhythmic motion of the water is a simple one.  The gravitational pull of the Moon, our closest astral neighbour, is so strong that it draws the Earth's water towards it.  This causes the seas to lift in the direction of the Moon.  This of course will cause a high tides in that area of the earth.  Equally, on the side of the earth that points away from our lunar partner the tide will be low.

The highest tides occur at the New Moon when Earth, Moon and Sun are in alignment.  The reason for this is that the Sun's massive gravitational pull is added to that of the Moon at this time.  These are often called Spring tides.

It is a sobering thought to consider that even though the phenomenon of tides is most obvious in the world's oceans, the moon has a tidal effect on any body of liquid, including a cup of tea or coffee.  So ask yourself, what effect does our lunar companion have on our body fluids, the blood that courses through our veins or the liquid that surrounds our brains?

Create connection to the space within by attending the Full and New Moon Ceremonies and see the stillness within as in Mother Nature.  Moon Meditations create presence with yourself and assist in seeing your true nature.

Sessions are held every evening (or closest to) of the full and new moons at The Millhouse 1390 Toorak Rd, Camberwell from 7:00pm to 9:00pm.  Bookings are essential.  A set price of $150.00 for 10 sessions.  Doors close at 7:20pm.  To book simply call Nikki on 0412 832 009, email Nikki or book online here.
