A Weekend of Transformation

Melissa Gardiner profile

Recently I have been deep in processing, integrating, embodying and resting.

I was at a CranioSacral Therapy Retreat with 2 friends over the weekend. And yes whilst we were calling this a Retreat it was based loosely on a CranioSacral Therapy Advanced Training. So from Friday night until Sunday lunch we all experienced 5 healings with 2 people working on us at the same time. This was intense to say the least… powerful and potent!

I had received messages in my dreams leading up to the weekend and my body and my Soul were ready to dive deep and experience some profound healing.

SomatoEmotional Release in CranioSacral Therapy happens when the body is ready to let go of and process emotional events or trauma that is stored in the body tissues. Being held in a safe space allows the body to go where it needs to release these past events, and this process is led by the person on the table. I love this and have always felt safe in CST to allow this process to unfold. 

It’s so enlightening when we find the healing modality that works for us. If you haven’t found yours… my advice; keep looking and trying things out.

I shifted so much over the weekend:
🌿healing past lives that are affecting how I am being in the present
🌿releasing huge amounts of anger stored in my diaphragm
🌿releasing the hurt and trauma from my surgical experience straight after birth (yes can’t consciously remember but my body clearly remembered all of this)
🌿removing energetic items I had put in place as a child to provide protection that were now causing strain on the physical body as they were too tight
🌿and letting go of the need to keep living from a “fighting; you can’t push me down energy” …. to embracing living from a joyous and open hearted space.
🌿And so much more…

As I said my body and Soul were ready and my sessions flowed with numerous things being healed in each session.

By the end of the weekend I was totally exhausted and since then I have been allowing time for sleeping and resting… giving my body the time it needs to process, integrate and embody all of these profound changes.

After so much releasing:
💚I am physcially and energetically lighter and I feel so much more at ease.
💚My right hip has lost its rigidity and the muscle tightness I have been struggling with in various places in the body has released as my body is now more aligned.
💚My heart feels more open and there is a quiet Joy within me.
💚A new stillness inside that is encouragaing me to live slower and connect more.

What a beautiful weekend it was. Heart-felt thanks to you beautiful Souls; Gill and Richard.

Punakaiki is a beautiful spot for a Retreat. Loved watching the push of the tide come in!

Wisdom from the Yoga Mat

Wisdom from the Yoga Mat

What do you do when you come up against those tight areas in the body? During the earlier years of my Yoga journey, I didn’t enjoy uncovering these places of holding, of tightness, of rigidity in the body. I felt stuck, cornered, confronted and out of control.

Our Juice Fasting Experience

Our Juice Fasting Experience

Fasting gives the digestive system a well-deserved rest. This allows the body to use energy that it normally would to digest food, instead to heal, cleanse and detoxify the body. When we eat continually, we build up a toxic load in the body, in particular in the fatty tissue. Fasting creates the space, time and energy for the body to find these toxins and eliminate them.
