Darwin dog and I filmed this guided relaxation about 6 weeks ago. Darwin stays for the whole video sniffing the breeze which is quite calming to just sit and watch. There are even bird sounds in the background. It is also on YouTube if you scroll back.

I'd love to hear if you have a watch of this video and whether you find it relaxing. I regularly have students fall asleep during the relaxation parts of my classes, even some who are always on the go and find it hard to stop and be still.

I popped my phone on a tripod and hit record. The camera is a bit far back but hopefully still cheery. It was a case of limited energy and taking a sunny opportunity to film in our lovely mossy forest during winter.

This is the same style of guided relaxation I use in my weekly Collective Rest videocalls. The next one is Wednesday 29th July.

I would love you to book to join me live or to get the recording.

You can also access previous Collective Rest recordings on my YouTube and i've added Chapters which are links in the description so you can start watching after the movement part if you only want guided relaxation.

I do think it helps to have the gentle movement leading into relaxation for people who have adequate energy and find it hard to go straight into trying to relax.

I hope your body and mind are kind to you today.

Last week I shared two pre recorded videos instead of hosting a live videocall so I could have some time down the coast. Darwin dog helped me record both. He is quite a delight to watch through the videos especially the outdoors one. I'd love you to go and watch them if you are curious about my Collective Rest classes.

This Wednesday 24thJune is my 8th Collective Rest videocall and the last week of term.

If you've been thinking about joining a videocall this is a good week to try before the term break.

Darwin living his best life resting by the fire πŸ₯°

Collective Rest is on again tomorrow or anytime via my YouTube channel https://youtube.com/.

Join the videocal or get the recordingl by booking here
https://events.humanitix.com/collective-rest

If you book for the recording I will carry you in my heart as I teach πŸŽ‰πŸ’ž.

Please reach out with any questions.

This class is for both

busy people who need help slowing down and shifting to a restful state,

and

people with limited energy, limited physical capacity, or pain conditions who would find low energy and floor based movements more accessible.

I encourage students to only do one repetition or skip movements if that's what their body needs.

The most important thing is to get a feel of the class and be able to come back next week or try another class or video.

I hope your body and mind are kind to you today

I am so in love with this maiden hair fern, especially when the sun shines on it.

I'd love you to join me for Collective Rest on Wednesday. Either live on the videocall, resting your own way, or watching later on YouTube.

No need to ever put your microphone or camera on if you prefer.

Please dm or comment any questions, I want you to feel comfortable and confident joining.

I hope your body and mind are kind to you today

Hello pocket friend's,

I hope you can join me for tomorrow's Collective Rest live videocall or resting your own way at the videocall time, or watch the recording later.

Wednesday 27th May 1:30pm AEST

Pay what you can afford. Booking https://events.humanitix.com/collective-rest Or in bio

Last week's call I got to use a clip on microphone for the first time, hopefully better for you to listen to.

I also enjoyed using my DIY heated yoga mat. I'd rescued a single bed electric blanket that was heading for the bin as the person no longer needed it. I washed it and trimmed the excess felt width off- the heating wires only take up about a yoga mat area. Over the top I have a folded thin woolen mattress protector.

Make sure you have cozy things at hand for the relaxation part of class. Maybe even a warmed wheatbag or hot water bottle πŸ₯°

You can also find last week's videocall on my YouTube if you want a watch.

II teach most of it sitting but it is meant to be done lying down.

I hope your body and mind are kind to you today

I recently went to a flower arranging workshop run by a local aboriginal woman.

I learnt so much about the customs, culture, and history of her people. It was only an overview but touched on so many topics and examples.

She also shared how local plants have been used by her people, many that grow on our bushland property.

Some plants we used in the arrangements were Australian native but not local.

I was mentally and physically exhausted after the 90min session. It has been a long time since I have gone along to an activity like this and was so grateful I could manage.

As always, I wore a mask 😷.

I'd love you to join me for Collective Rest this Wednesday on the videocall or by watchingtherecording. Book here or in bio
https://events.humanitix.com/collective-rest

Or Rest in your own way at 1:30 knowing others are resting too.

I hope your body and mind are kind to you today

Six sleeps until Blue Sunday Tea Party for ME/CFS πŸ§πŸ«–β˜•οΈπŸ₯³πŸŽˆ.

If you have ME/CFS, I'd love you to join me on Sunday. I had such a lovely time hosting videocalls for Blue Sunday in 2022 and am excited to be doing it again this year.

I know that for many with ME/CFS joining a videocall is too much. Please know that it will be gentle and welcoming, no pressure to speak, stay for the hour, or have your video on if that is too much.

Please share with anyone who may be interested.

I hope your body and mind are kind to you today πŸ’›Claire
