Beyond Asana; Establishing Dhyana.
Meditation and mindfulness is often recommended for stress reduction, anxiety and other ailments in modern medicine and psychology. However the practical aspects of meditation, such as how to sit for meditation or what to meditate on are important steps often not addressed appropriately to ensure the meditator has success.

In this LIVE webinar, Jyoti expounds the 7th limb of the 8 foot path (Ashtanga) of Yoga. "Dhyāna" means "contemplation, reflection" and "profound, abstract meditation". Many great works of literature have described these concepts, however meditation is not something that is intellectually understood through the act of reading.

In this 6 week course, Jyoti instructs the practical steps that can help one use the "tools" of yoga with discernment to achieve success and fulfilment in secular day-to-day-life; and begin the journey into fullness.
Tapas "

Designed to fit into the lives of everyday people with no prior experience in Yoga; classes are instructed via zoom early each morning to cultivate self-discipline & persistent perseverance, the vital steps that precede real "meditation" or "mindfulness".

The course is for all people and not a "teacher training" course. However a certificate of attendance can be issued if you wish to lodge continuing professional development (CPD).

The following video sparks 🔥 for me today.

Should “justice “ be a part of your healthcare plan?

Whist it can be traumatic to rehash the past and talk about personal injury, boundaries that have been broken, insults against us, neglected relationships or even self harm; it is important to remember that critical thinking and inner turmoil are the body and the mind at odds with our intuition, spirit and cellular knowing.

Actions we take to care for ourselves can be harmful or they can liberate us.

Either way the body keeps score and holds us to account even when society doesn’t. I am seeing, and feeling the repercussions of the pandemic every day in clinic. Clients are back to “usual” life, however their bodies are still being tested and many have no tools to process the effects of the past.

If you are suffering the consequences of trauma, there are tools to help. When talk based therapy is difficult or not accessible, somatic techniques (body/movement/function) can help to strengthen your body and provide a foundation for healing.

All of the services I provide at RCCM aim to support your body, mind & spirit. These services are not talk based and are based on systems that serve the person as a whole and are not reductionsist.

We also scaffold our treatment with referral and discussion to your medical and allied health providers as needed if you have “lost the words” to be able to communicate with them; as many have after being ostracised for simply asking questions and “thinking critically “ about choices affecting their health and body autonomy.
