Musings moving the mind
Some of these essays were written before I accidentally deleted most of the data from my old website in early 2023. And some have been revamped or recently created from my musings and thoughts now. It is my hope that my writings inspire you to feel and be in your body with renewed curiosity and joy.
Your Biology Speaks: Are You Listening?
Your body is always communicating—through sensation, emotion, energy, and perception. It is constantly giving you information about safety, capacity, and overwhelm within your system. During menopause, this communication becomes harder to ignore. As ovarian hormone...
A nourishing touch for mind and nervous system
In this video, I show a very simple and easy little practice that you can do at any moment of the day in almost any situation. It is a practice, using touch to calm the brain and mind, create more space for thinking, release tension in the skin around your skull, and...
More about the relationship between body, brain and behaviour
How do you attend to yourself and your body? In the previous two blog posts, I discussed the law of reciprocity, the social principle whereby an action is repaid in kind, and how this also exists internally between our mind and body. And how the body mirrors the way...
The law of reciprocity in self care

Do you define your boundaries based on pain or pleasure?
A while ago, I wrote about respecting and growing your boundaries. In particular, your boundaries to yourself. These could be boundaries from your nervous system or your body to you, or the limits you impose on your body. Today I want to share something about the...
Our brain’s need for our physical antennae
In this video, I talk about becoming more aware of how you use your senses - the physical antennae that monitor the physical world around you. They help the nervous system organise itself and they give the brain the right information to map itself in the here and now....
Play, play and play
We find much of our ease and pleasure in play. You only have to look at small children and see how they get fully absorbed in playing, and then how they enjoy themselves. Indeed, playing helps us to be completely in the present moment, and to feel carefree and joyful...
Help your brain come home by using your visual sense, your eyes
In this video, I talk about using the visual sense as a way to regulate the nervous system and help the brain map itself into the here-and-now physical- and human environment. Did you know that our eyes play a big role in our social engagement? In this video, I will...
