Potency - Presence - Precision - Practice

These qualities sculpt and pour through this modality and heart-based medicine. For the past decade Pregnancy Zenthai has become an integral part of the ZenthaI offerings. Many therapists are called to the practice:
* from the need for safety and confidence when working with pregnant woman
* to those who dedicate themselves to womb wisdom and supporting woman through rites of passage
* others curious to become informed about zenthai adaptations to acupressure therapy, gestures and techniques to remedy specific pregnancy related presentations
* or knowing that new gestures in this realm can be offered to many other blood, chi and structural complaints - yes lots of gestures here you can apply to any shoulder, facet joint, pelvic tilts - for those not pregnant

Get confident in learning the theory and practice of supporting woman through all stages of pregnancy. Join this 5 day training where we journey through:
* physiological and 5 element changes within each trimester
posture adaptations and how this affects the muscles, bones, womb, organs, fascia, blood, lymph and chi.
* Safety with acupressure points, positioning and gestures (when to open and when to contain)
* Specific gestures and remedial techniques for common imbalances and conditions
* Focus on - opening the rivers, providing space for body, baby and organs, fueling energy and vitality and awakening the spine
* Supportive movement practices and cultural rituals

The training includes a public Pregnancy Zenthai Clinic where you will be guided through a wholistic practice, gaining confidence and competence.

There are a few spots open for the upcoming training in the Byron Shire. Join us in Myocum, Northern Rivers from August 26th - 30th.

Love to see you there

We like to keep it a little silly here. Morning movement with a little laughter at the altar of flowers. Perfect. 🙏

Distraction hijacks satisfaction.

It's been a great reminder and somewhat rude awakening for me recently.
Remember your truth. Your life depends on it.

You may think your tight hips and tense shoulders are from physical activity, prolonged postures and lack of movement? Yes, this definitely contributes!

Structural Energetics contains this perspective - that the action potential in our muscles and myofascial meridians are representative of the physical form of our bodies.

From the world of internal alchemy and the formless that creates the form, the mind and emotions also play a direct and powerful effect upon how we move through life.

I've found it enlightening to place these metaphors of how our body feels to the landscapes of the mind, as a portal into the emotional intelligence of being human.

Comm-unity

Sending my love across the rivers an oceans, through the whistling canyons, up the magnificent mountains and into the radiant skies - this is where I'll meet you.

Zenthai family - hello. I've been quiet here, sitting still with the rocks at the feet of giant waterfalls. Listening to nature whilst I immerse into the winter season, being with my self, feeling the rumbles of my soul, for what is rising to be received. Precious times have offered deep insights and wonderful intimacy. I've been fully in, cultivating a more juicy and wholesome way of being in this world, but not of this world. Knowing that this time benefits both the witness, the engager and the receiver.

Here are some ways we can both be a greater contribution to the healing in the world.

For those who I haven't yet met in the flesh, perhaps our hearts have recognised each other being in the same family of zenthai. I've been involved in the level 2 program for over a decade, dancing with Gwyn Williams and the decade before in the realms of integrative bodywork; teaching remedial massage, rehab and eastern tuina massage. I've also trained directly with Tom Myers from Anatomy Trains, so if you are frothing on anything fascia, you know who I'm speaking of. .......Somatic telepathy is something I'm currently interested in sharing too, developing the 2 way convo of touch.

If your feeling something tangible in your tissues right now, that's fascia tugging on your awareness - if so, follow this thread and join the duality of playfulness an sacredness.
