Have you considered this part of your birth? Allowing the cord to pulse provides baby with more oxygenated blood. Cutting the cord too early can lead to anaemia and respiratory issues at birth. Share you thoughts in the comments. .

The pill is a mask. If we want to change the world, we need to take the mask off and face ourselves!! Then the healing can begin!! #Repost @janehardwickecollings with @get_repost

I remember when this body and this soul felt my baby slide out of my vagina. I remember the feeling of his ears passing through me and the relief when his body finally arrived earth side. I remember how powerful I felt. I remember how different I felt after my first birth, a caesarean. .
I learnt the lessons I needed to learn at each birth and eventually, I faced myself and said “I take responsibility for my woundings and there is no one to blame” .

We are all mirrors for one another. Everyone we come into contact with has something to teach us. There are no coincidences. If you want to grow and evolve you need to pay attention. If you want to stay as you are, then you can if you want. It’s not about comparison or judgement. .

If you want to feel more, see more, create with more depth, listen more deeply, be more compassionate and empathic, be more intuitive, and know yourself more, then you have to step over the threshold into discomfort and into the inner work. .

PRENATAL // Astrid teaches a weekly hot flow class on Tuesday evenings at 5:45pm as well as our prenatal classes and workshops (next one Saturday 13th July!)
.
The two hour Prenatal workshop coming up is for pregnant women from 12-42 weeks gestation. You will experience a combination of childbirth education and prenatal yoga from an experienced prenatal yoga teacher, Birthing from Within Mentor®️ and doula (birth support person). .

Astrid has been practicing yoga for over 20 years and teaching for 10 years. She began her yoga journey to help her manage the stress and anxiety of exams in the last year of high school. Since then, she has become a childbirth educator, prenatal yoga teacher, Reiki master, doula, shamanic woman-crafter and mother to two boys. Her classes are intuitively created, often times improvised, and she always offers alternatives to cater to the needs of her students. She encourages deep listening and inner awareness, and uses her singing voice as a healing tool at the end of each class. .

Next prenatal class on SATURDAY 13th JULY! Book via our website or through the Facebook event.

If you have a painful menstrual cycles, this workshop on Saturday will help you begin the process to healing. Bring your partner, bring your daughters(13 and up) and get ready for a shift in perception! Magic! #menstrualcycle #wisdom #blood #yoga

The pill actually masks the symptoms and does not solve them. The pill is also not your actual cycle. It’s actually stopping your cycle completely. Come and see me for a one on one session to see what the symptoms are trying to tell you. You can heal your cycle and your body! #menstrualcycle #thepill

TRUTH ALERT:
Hormonal contraceptives (HCs), such as the “pill,” Norplant, and vaginal rings, are very potent hormones that have effects on the immune system, which is made up of white blood cells and lymph nodes and normally defends the body against invading bacteria, viruses and parasites. This review looked at the association of HC use to the development of autoimmune diseases, where the immune system turns against the body and causes damage to organs. There is good evidence that HC use is associated with an increased risk of several serious autoimmune diseases such as Crohn’s disease (which causes inflammation of the bowels), Lupus (which causes inflammation in many organs), and interstitial cystitis (which causes inflammation in the bladder). Several other rarer autoimmune diseases are also linked to HC use. People contemplating the use of HCs should be informed of these risks.

WHOOPS!!! #wakingthewitches

Over the last three months I have discovered so much about myself. I have become more intimate with the whole picture. Not just the positives, and the strengths, but the gifts from the shadow lands of fear, grief and anger. I have learnt a lot about boundaries that I never had in place with my children because I didn’t have those boundaries or discipline, lovingly, with myself. I have learnt how stories that I have told myself have haunted me and limited me in my potential. I have begun to dismantle these and crack some holes so some light can shine through. I have started to become even more aware, more intuitive and craving more time in solitude. I am also needing meditation more than ever. I am becoming braver, clearer and softer. The anger and rage I feel for women’s rights is going to be used to create and bring justice. I will do this through my music. I will do this through my art. I will do this for women everywhere. Especially for women my age because you need leaders like me. Women in your 40’s, I have a plan to show you that it’s never too late to make your dreams happen. I have a vision and I’m bringing it to the surface. It’s a process and a long term plan. But the seed has been sewn. #vision #40 #women #womensrights #power #transformation #awareness #watchthisspace

It’s reconciliation week this week. Beyond all my feelings about how First Nations people are treated in this country, there needs to be action. We can feel all sorts of feels, but putting those feelings into action is where there will be change. Us white people need to be rehabilitated from the ingrained racism that plagues us and destroys our connection to the land and to the First Nations people. We have forgotten how to and why to connect to spirit. To beyond the intellect and the physical. We need change and we need it now. I vow to step up and be more involved in this change. I will do better. ❤️ #Repost @heartandsoulstory_sam with @get_repost

Sometimes just saying sorry doesn’t cut it. Every one of us need to foster a connection to our First Nation’s people and their beautiful culture that has at its heart, embracing community,sharing of stories and utmost respect for Elders. Reconciliation comes through love and understanding.

Over the next 2 days Mercury will square Neptune. This transit blurs boundaries and can confuse the issues we are trying to get clear on. If you’re struggling through a difficult communication situation or two over the next couple of days, keep it simple. Stay with what you know. Stay with what you need to do to stay in integrity. .
If we have or haven’t done any work on a specific issue we aren’t better or worse than anyone else, but we might tend to take on the processing of it for the whole. Remembering how long it took us to learn a lesson can help us have compassion for those that are struggling to do the same. It can also help us have compassion for the things we are struggling to learn in the moment- because they are sure to be many. Just be careful not to do the emotional labor for those that can’t, don’t, or won’t. #Tuesday #Astrology #Mercury #Communication #KeepYourSideOfTheStreetClean #WorryAboutYourself

Today I took time off work with my boys to go to Sydney for the Climate change rally. I was bleeding and tired, but I had to show my boys that our future is worth fighting for and that we need to take action to make change happen. This year I’ve attended 5 rallies, but these have been the first in almost 20 years. I’m actually ashamed to have not made the time to come to rallies and answer the urgent calls to action time and time again. So I’m making it up for it now! We must all make the effort. Everyone needs to be involved. We win in numbers!!! #climatechange #climatechangerallysydney #powerinnumbers #climatechangeisreal #alwayswasalwayswillbeaboriginalland

In the book “Under the Quandong Tree” by Aboriginal Senior woman Minmia, it talks about the concept of mother. Without being able to quote directly from the book because I’ve lent it to a friend, she says that in Aboriginal culture there are many mothers for a child. There’s the birth mother, aunties, friends and grandmothers. Even if these mothers haven’t had children themselves, they offer the child wisdom, another perspective and a way to give the birth mother a break from her own triggers. They all contribute to creating a safe space for that child to be “boss of self” Minmia says. .

To me this feels so right. As a mother to my two boys, I know I have a system within operating on the idea that it’s my responsibility to be the one and only for my children. That we chose this role and we will appear weak if we aren’t coping. This is a toxic system that I know operates in a lot of us women. This needs to be dismantled. .
Mothers working together to bring up children seems like the most logical, powerful offering for families and women. .

I truly hope we can absorb the teachings of what community can do for the rearing of our kids and one day move closer to this being the norm. Five mothers for my children seems like a wonderful idea. Then maybe, the women who are born leaders and creators in this world would have to chance to fully explore this, with support, for the greater good of all. .

After many years of saying “I’m going to enter the Archibald painting prize”, this year I actually did it. I chose to paint @janehardwickecollings of @schoolofshamanicwomancraft. I wanted to shine a light on the collective rage of women everywhere, through her gaze. I wanted to honour her and the incredible work she does in sharing the women’s mysteries, helping us to reclaim our cycles and dismantling the systems that hold us back from full expression and self love. This woman has inspired me beyond words to be the fierce woman I’m becoming. I’m so so so grateful for her support over the years. Thank you Jane! I feel I have captured something of you here. You are my heroine! .
Painting is something that really gets me out of my head. Well, it’s a process of noticing when I’m in my head and redirecting myself back to pure inspiration. Before I got to the final painting you see here, I think I painted over it 4 times. I almost gave up. But then I realised my birth imprint was playing out. The rushing to the outcome. So I went away, I did something else for an hour. I might have watched some episodes of “Queer Eye”. I love that series. Anyway, i came back that night and just started putting paint back on the canvas. When I dropped into to the feeling and into curiosity, it all started falling into place. .

I’m feeling like an exhibition of strong women might be coming. .
