The miraculous perfection of creation
|
|
is a continuous flow of life
|
|
unfolding and expressing itself through you.
|
|
You, with your natural gifts,
|
|
are destined to make a difference.
|
|
you know exactly what is calling for your attention.
|
|
Refuse to sit around and wait for someone else to do
|
|
what your soul is calling for you to do.
|
|
Even a teeny tiny action will create momentum.
|
|
Join me in giving thanks for your life…
|
|
for the past that has shaped you,
|
|
and the future that will guide you.
|
|
Welcome and embrace the changes
|
|
as your soul awakens, and your path is revealed
|
|
to enlighten what’s dark in you.
|
|
and be open to receive its blessings
|
|
to strengthen what’s weak in you,
|
|
mend what’s broken in you,
|
|
forgive and heal what’s sick in you.
|
|
Embrace the present moment
|
|
with appreciation and gratitude
|
|
and revive whatever peace and love has died in you.
|
|
Open your heart to love, life and awe.
|

Silent Meditation Retreat
|
|
Come and enjoy a weekend of silence,
|
|
in meditation and deep rest.
|
|
When the noise finally grows quiet
|
|
you will hear the sweet soul song of the birds
|
|
and the heartbeat of the earth.
|
|
As you learn to be present and patient
|
|
where the world, your body, mind and heart,
|
|
all compete, clamouring for your time and attention,
|
peace will ascend from deep within the belly of your soul.
|
|
Time spent at retreat with yourself
|
|
will illuminate that the only antidote
|
|
is love and radical self acceptance.
|
|
You are the instigator of your own sacred flame.
|
|
With every grateful realisation,
|
|
with every powerful reflection,
|
|
with every solitary moment of surrender,
|
You will find your way home.

MENTAL HEALTH and SACRED REST
|
These are momentous worldly times we are all experiencing. Many people are aware of the escalating mental health crisis, encourage open conversation about it, knowing that affects us all, and are looking to reduce the stigma associated with mental health. Yet so many don’t know where to start and what to do about it and feel overwhelmed with all the social pressures around it.
|
We are all too aware of the plethora of individuals teaching workshops in things they know very little about. Many of them are playing with fire, with little training in working with the trauma material that emerges in their followers. If you don’t have enough of a foundation to hold yourself safe, you may be easily seduced by many of the flakey ‘masters’ dressed in guru garb, artificial forgiveness and pseudo-positive proponents, name-changing new age gurus and many who practice in these areas who present themselves as healers. Remember that spiritual healers and yoga celebrities are now industries, with little regard for your wellbeing and are ripe with manipulation and projection. Be vigilant and surround yourself with solid, integrated, emotionally mature practitioners who understand the delicate nature of mental health and trauma.
|
Prioritise your inner peace by bridging the worlds of mental, physical, emotional and spiritual health. The factors which influence mental wellbeing include work fulfillment, minimal financial stress, participating in great communities, good physical health, and a support system of loved ones.
|
If the repercussions from lockdowns, border closures, interruption to work-health-family-social life, floods, fires, illness and so on, is an ongoing issue impacting you right now, and you are ready to improve your inner world and positively impact global consciousness as a collective, come and be inspired, motivated, and connect.
|
Here, at the Shanti Yoga centre, we empower you with information, tools and strategies, bringing together theory and practice, to help you understand your unique self, and the things you can do to reduce your stress and optimise your resilience. The Shanti Yoga Health Institute Australasia uses various educational and therapeutic methods to support you to heal and return to a wonderful sense of happiness and well-being. We celebrate diversity, encourage healing and enable mastery.
|
As individuals, we can take our own steps to become happier, enrich our lives, and inspire others to do the same in the process. Whether you choose to exercise more often, practice gratitude, breathe deeply, or do something else, be encouraged to pursue the happiness you desire to live the healthy life you deserve.
|
|
Mental health wellbeing can positively impact your entire life that lies ahead of you, and the lives of those around you. It’s time. Let’s all do this, together. Join us, for yourself and for your fellow brothers and sisters. Together, we can all change the conversation and experience.

LIVING WITH PURPOSE AND MEANING
|
|
Yoga and Health Time Out Retreat
|
|
Reflect on your life, asking yourself:
|
|
What is the message I offer with my own story?
|
|
What have I planted and cultivated in my life?
|
|
Am I experiencing my own life in divine union with All That Is?
|
|
Am I in alignment, harmony and balance with life?
|
|
Am I living in a dream, and do I want to wake up?
|
|
Come and join the discussion, and allow the answers to flow…
|
|
You are a messenger of love and light.
|
|
Continue to plant seeds of love, light, grace, abundance and magic…
|
|
Because the seeds that you plant in lives here
|
|
are truly your gift to the Universe
|
|
and will continue when we leave the planet.
