5 Ways to Calm with Nature and Movement

Wed, 10 Aug 2022 04:19:29 GMT

When you change, and charge your energy, you help to maintain balance within:

☆ physical

☆ emotional

☆ mental

☆ spiritual

If you, like me, experience chronic health conditions or for any reason you need to calm the body and mind then:

Movement in nature can help with healing.

Movement in nature can be a distraction as you observe the ebb and flow of life.

Movement in nature can provide you with inspiration for creative pursuits.

Movement can help to move anxiety stored in the nervous system, through and out of the body.

Movement can help you to change your emotional state and help to provide clarity.

Moments. That. Is. All. We. Have. Here. And. Now. Take a moment to change and charge your energy. Take a moment to take care of yourself. Moments can be to observe and reflect. Moments can be to plan. Moments to be with loved ones. Moments to acknowledge yourself. Moments to take time out. Moments to be kind to yourself. Moments to be still and be. Moments to take action and do. Moments to say yes. Moments to say no.

Movement in Nature

�� Being able to connect with nature is crucial to grounding and calming of the mind whilst moving and energising the body.

�� Use nature to help your response-ability for whatever is happening in your life.

�� Use nature as a source of life, a source of nourishment for your mind and body and a source of wellbeing.

�� Plan an unusual or exciting experience for recreation, for learning, for newness or for fun.

�� Share.... How will you spend time in nature today? What will you do? Where will you go? Who will you go with?

You have got this. SELF CARE requires time, attention and action. Walking on the beach at sunrise, is one of my favourite types of movement in nature. What is yours?

Migraine: Are you 1 in 5 Australians?

Wed, 09 Dec 2020 03:33:59 GMT

Migraine: 1 in 5 Australians (5 million!) Australians experience Migraine.

I am Raelene, Founder of Wellbeing Ways Australia and I am one of the 5 million.

What is a migraine?

Migraine is an intense, chronic, debilitating neurological dis-ease with extremely incapacitating neurological symptoms. People who get migraines are parents, daughters, sons, children, co-workers, peers, neighbours, friends and family.

What is migraine to me?

People who experience migraine usually do not know when they will get an attack, nor do they know its intensity, its frequency nor its duration. Migraine is chronic. Migraine is silent. Migraine is often misdiagnosed. Migraine is debilitating. Migraine is relentless. Migraine is frightening. Migraine is personal. Migraine has many forms. Migraine is not defined by gender nor age. Migraine is misunderstood. Migraine needs research. Migraine needs funding. Migraine is not just a headache. Migraine is not being too sensitive. Yet, migraine can cause sensitivity to sound, smells, touch, tastes and light. Migraine is invisible to an observer. Migraine can require hospitalisation. What is migraine to you?

Migraine Symptoms

I have experienced migraine attacks since childhood and for 40 years, the type of migraine I get are called chronic familial hemiplegic migraines which is a rare form of migraine and at worst, mimic a stroke. My migraine symptoms could be a combination, or all the following: nausea, vomiting, sweating, flushes, difficulty focusing, difficulty remembering, dizziness, vertigo, loss of speech, loss of vision, blurred vision, tingling ‘pins and needles’ sensations, weakness, one side or whole body numbness, flashes of lights, metallic tastes, tiredness, falling asleep mid conversation, body pain, throbbing head pain, no head pain; extreme hypersensitivity to touch, heat, smells, noises (especially beeping) and light (especially bright, flicking or flashing lights both artificial and natural.) So, wearing tinted or sunglasses is my every day, inside and outside. What are your symptoms?

Are you 1 in 5 Australian’s who experience migraine?

If someone says they experience migraine, please listen. If someone is experiencing symptoms and asking, could it be migraine? Please help. Sending love to anyone who experiences migraine and lives with chronic health conditions. Sending love and gratitude to anyone who knows, loves and lives with someone who experiences migraine.
