Lock Down 2020 - Educational & Insightful Videos for Connecting the Dots for HUMAN EmPOWERment. Seeing beyond the veils of illusions to the bigger picture.

5/1/2020

Before you go any further with this page and the information that these video interviews below reveal. I want to remind you that we are all going through an incredible evolutionary phase on planet earth currently. With Billions of people across the Globe in over a 100+ countries being asked to stay at home. There is no doubt something big happening and it has many layers of truths to it which can seem confusing, unbelievable and shocking as each one gets revealed to us and yet the more we can integrate and reflect upon the information , the more actually things start to make more sense as more and more pieces of the bigger picture comes together.

Regardless of the layers of truths that are being revealed by many courageous, professional and caring people across the globe describing some of the toxic layers, inconsistency, mis-information, unsafe practices, negative agendas and behavioural patterns of the biggest corporations and an elite 1% power structure hidden deep in the shadows behind it all.

I want you to also realise that this time has gifted more and more people the opportunity to step back from stressful busy life's to reflect, connect more inwards and come to realise organically ones deeper and truer values beyond what one had been conditioned into believing and this is truly magnificent !

It is important to have the courage to face some uncomfortable truths behind what ails us as one collective humanity and become aware to some of the deeper issues within the systems that is adding to the rising health crisis and now a economic crisis.

We must first be very clear on what we do not condone and has our NO vote because otherwise we can be seduced unknowingly into a trap that we would not choose if one had all the information presented clearly.

Through great clarity being understood however uncomfortable at first, we can then move forward very clear on our YES vote. This clarity is very important to reach so that each person can focus resources into that YES vote with confidence, vitality and creativity.

Hence this is part of the reason I awoke at 4.30am this morning with the strong guidance to get up and collate this information that we at Vibrant Living Retreat have been exposed to and getting educated on over the latter weeks. The intentions is to make it easier to access for those whom is interested to dive deeper and learn what is potentially really going on behind the scenes and the bigger agenda attempting to unfold if we do not wake up and simply say NO.

Over the lock down period many of these videos posted below and peoples platforms that share this kind of OPEN SPEECH information has been censored and taken down from social sharing platforms such as YOUTUBE, FACEBOOK, VIMEO.

Ultimately in my heart of hearts I know that the potential of this intense chapter of our evolutionary cycle on earth is to AWAKEN humanity. It is time on the planet for humanity to become a more highly evolved and higher consciousness collective family that care for self, one another and our earth home in equal measures. In essence it is time to live our life's from a higher state of unconditional LOVE and less and less from the states of survival, stress, fear, lack and disconnected mentality.

It is time for people to awaken to whom they truly are beyond the egoic identity to realise that the power is within to change, balance and heal oneself and hence change, balance and heal the world.

" As within, so without "

" As you believe, it is giving onto you " Jesus

" Be the change you want to see in the world " Gandhi

Please scroll down and allow yourself be guided to which video to watch 1st. Usually it is the one that stands out for you the most and you feel more drawn to it so please trust that inner guidance.

Please make sure to get plenty of time in nature in between watching this content below to ground and attend to your self care and allow a integration period.

IS CORONAVIRUS A PLANDEMIC? EXPOSING THE TRUTH BEHIND AMERICA'S COVID-19 STRATEGY
Activist & Former Medical Researcher Dr. Judy Mikovits
As research director of a CFS research organization Whittemore Peterson Institute (WPI) from 2006-2011, Mikovits led a research effort that reported in 2009 that a retrovirus known as xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus (XMRV) was associated with CFS and may have had a causal role. In 1980, Mikovits was awarded a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry with a specialization in biology at the University of Virginia. After graduation, she went to the National Cancer Institute in Frederick, Maryland, where she developed purification methods for Interferon alpha. Mikovits has gained attention on social media for promoting her ideas about the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic. She does not believe that a vaccine is needed to prevent COVID-19, and claims that the coronavirus was “caused by a bad strain of flu vaccine that was circulating between 2013 and 2015“. She also claimed masks will “activate” the virus and reinfect a mask-wearer over and over.

2.5 hr Interview with Brain Rose and David Icke.
David Icke as a man years ahead of his time was ridiculed harshly for his seemingly far fetched ideas about the world. This is not the case currently with 10's of Millions of people watching his videos. He has spent 30 years researching and writing books about this current time we are in now and 'connecting the dots' of the bigger agenda for humanity. An agenda which he claims has been in the making for decades.

Get a cuppa and watch 2.5 hr go by very quickly with this engaging content presented by this passionate researcher who has gone beyond caring what people think of him but not gone beyond caring for what could happen to humanity if they do not 'Awaken' to what is unfolding and state a firm NO to the agenda.

Once you are empowered with the knowledge the next step is to realise that a open heart of LOVE & COMPASSION is the greatest super power there is on earth and through out the universe.

The more we disconnect from the lower vibrations of fear and separation and connect into the higher vibrations of LOVE & UNITY ... we come to know and feel and trust that all is truly well.

We are NOW co-creating what many have been calling a NEW EARTH and 5D consciousness.

BEing the solutions starts with self love and self care.

" The bright future is the past healed ".

I trust you found this information helpful and ultimately empowering on your awakening journey of authentic inner power.
United we must stand for what we know to be right in our hearts.

Remember Einstein said " Knowledge is Power " and then he went onto say " Imagination is more powerful than knowledge ". Everything began in someones imagination. So take plenty of time to relax and reflect, knowing what you don't want to create. Now refocus and enjoy dreaming and imagining the wonderful world you do want to create and add your energy into. This is true creation and living a more highly evolved consciousness.

This is our collective evolution. We are right in the epicentre or cross road ( timelines ) of choices. What will you choose ? What will we choose collectively ? Will it be to close our hearts and live from more FEAR and separation or open our hearts and live from more LOVE and connection ?

5 Key Ways to Boost Your Immunity in Body, Mind, Emotions from the Wellness Coach.

3/8/2020

0 Comments

Empower yourself with wellness tools for body, mind and emotions.
It is said that in every life crisis, problem or challenge the solution is also present and to be discovered. However in order to access the solutions you must acknowledge the problem with clarity and then open up to the discovery of the solutions by shifting the focus to access the creative flow of inspired new thoughts and ideas. This is why it is important to keep your mind and your heart open and positive to the possibilities.

The 2020 big C virus ! How to boost your immunity so it is no biggy for your cells to adapt to.

Immunity boosting practices for the PHYSICAL BODY :

VITAMINS & MINERALS : Eat well for your body by making sure you are getting plenty of vitamins and minerals. One of the best way to do this is to include lots of organic vegetables and fruit. Add in some extra greens and orange juice over these few next months for vitamin C & D. Don't forget to get lots of sunshine when ever possibly for your vitamin D uptake also and just because it makes you feel amasing.
WASH HANDS & SURFACES: However no need to get OCD on it, just relax and enjoy creating a clean organised space around you.
EXERCISE IN WAYS THAT ARE FUN: out in nature. Surround yourself with nature as much as possible. A great idea is to have plenty of plants inside your house as these naturally clean and filter the air around you. Nature and laughter is both great medicines, both cost you nothing only your willingness to engage them.
FROM FOE TO FREIND MEET YOUR BODY : Make friends with your body; nurture and love it in every way. It is your sacred temple and vehicle that takes your spirit around this planet to experience your daily life via the 5 outer and 5 inner senses.
ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE: Practice Gratitude Daily for your body and cells. Acknowledge the health and vitality you have in the HERE and NOW. Bless your body, bless your cells, bless the water within your body. Gratitude is one of the most powerful wellness and life transformational tools there is. Do not under estimate its super power.

Stretch your arms up high and feel the good vibes. Experience the MIND-BODY connection in this simply movement.

Immunity boosting practices for the MENTAL BODY:

BE mindful of what you allow to enter into your ears and subconscious mind that affect your mindset and thoughts. Turn off from listening to negative and over dramatised media that triggers fearful thoughts of doubt, distrust, worry, anxiety and a disempowering lack mentality. Tune into media sources that you trust that simply deliver the latest factual news or perhaps better to read from a source on the internet. Be discerning when you have the information that you need. Drama can be addictive and this is why so much resources is put into this kind of media to raise the ratings.
Focus on that which creates a more positive and life affirmative thought process. Taking time in nature is one of the most powerful ways to calm the mind and nervous system. Journal your thoughts down daily to get them out of going around your head. Read the book called "The Artist Way" for inspiration to ignite creativity if you believe you are not creative and cannot access creative new thoughts and solutions.
Direct your thoughts daily by repeating affirmations or mantras that resonant with you. We highly recommend at Vibrant Living Retreat investing in the Louise Hay " 365 day Power thoughts" book.
Tune in to information and knowledge that is shared by people that inspire you. People who live with passion and joy in what they are doing are living from there authentic soulfully aligned truth. These people generally exude natural health and vitality because the majority of their thoughts are not stressful and instead are very life affirmative, genuine, regenerative, caring and supportive.
Stay away from negative, judgemental, stressful and draining communications. Care enough about you to honour your bodies needs regardless of what others may think about your choices. What your dominate thinking is about you and your choices is what really matters to your health and well-being ! " Every body cell and there is trillions of them is listening to your every thought and the energy frequency it emits " .

Eckhart Tolle a teacher of the power of the mind thoughts and living in the present. moment.

Understanding the Emotional Body
There is a lot of information currently about the mind - body connection. However what is often left out of the equation for sustainable and empowered health especially in mainstream medicine is the importance of the emotional ~ feeling body and how it effects health and wellness.

The emotional body is 'energy in motion' running through the body as different chemical compounds and broadcasting electro magnetic fields of communication.

Each emotion or feeling has a vibrational frequencies of resonance. This magnetises 'like frequencies' to it or another way of saying this is 'like experiences' to it. This is why it is so important to become emotionally intelligent though understanding and becoming responsive and responsible towards the feeling body. It is your SUPER POWER TO CREATE THE LIFE & WORLD YOU PREFER so it is well worth getting to know it better. Become friendly with the many landscapes and expressions of the emotional body, begins to become aware of how your thoughts and the definitions you have in your subconscious mind about them directly effect the emotional body and its expression via the chemistry created in the body. Thoughts and feelings are interconnected, feelings and thoughts are interconnected !

Natural and sustainable health requires the balance and harmony of the emotional body, the physical body and the mental body.

The greater healing in our planet and humanity requires the resolution of many old emotions that have not been dealt with before now for various reason and are held in the cellular structure.

Every child in its innocence display's various emotions until they learn which ones are not acceptable, valued, encouraged, appropriate or worst they got punished or ridiculed for expressing them.

When a healthy emotional understanding is experienced it allows for a greater awareness and capacity to shift focus and choose different emotional states or frequencies to attract and magnetise different kinds of life experiences in your life. This is true empowering life creation.

Living this way is a reflection of starting to access a more highly evolved, awakened and empowering consciousness. Cultivating a healthy self esteem and self value via ones thoughts and daily attitude is a required aspect of this. It often requires a journey of healing and transformation especially if one took on very negative ideas and beliefs in childhood about oneself, others and life or perhaps suffered abuse and neglect and came to misguided and disempowering conclusions about ones worth and value in the world. When this happens the heart builds up walls around it to protect oneself from these harsher feelings and emotions and in an attempt to not feel them and the pain ever again. However in the longer term these 'heart walls' ( Book Recommendation " The Emotion Code " ) are what creates a barrier to receiving and exchanging love and care more openly with trust and ease.

The heart is known as the emotional centre of the body. The heart has been discovered to emit a stronger electro magnetic field of energy than the brain does.

Immunity boosting practices for the Emotional Body :

Embrace your emotional body stop pushing them away and making them and you wrong in your head for having emotions. Instead discover a healthy way to express your emotions by writing them down, speaking to a trusted friend or book a session with someone that is skilled in that kind of support; healing , resolution and release work.
Move the energy into motion via the free form expressions of Dance, Art , Music, Singing Tones, Healing Modalities, Hypnosis session, Massage, Yoga, Being in Nature, Exercises that you enjoy. Basically anything that creates a healthy flow of expressions of the energy into motion.
Welcome your emotions rather than resist them. " Where there is movement their is improvement " Emotions are like water and when that water is held behind a dam for too long they become toxic to the body and eventually must lead to chronic ailments and dis-ease. When you really get to understand your emotions you will realise just how connected body pain and emotional pains really are. That is why by releasing stuck emotions can release body pains and heal dis-ease, even long standing chronic pain. Especially long standing chronic pain as the stuck emotions are at the core of the dis-ease and hence why it never got healed and resolved.
Trust your feelings. This takes practice and will naturally happen over time once the water or emotions that were trapped behind the dam wall begin to move in a healthy expression again. Keeping with this water analogy to understand emotions. The move the water flows in its natural way the more it becomes purified, clear and increases natural health and vitality.
Having the courage to face and breathe through your biggest imagined fears and uncomfortable emotions with practice will uncover your deeper and truer nature as joy. " Joy is love expressed " AND " passion is joy expressed ". Have the courage to follow your joy and live your passions. However be aware that if you feel stuck on this then you most lightly have stuck emotions that are holding you back from listening and trusting your innate and most authentic free self. You are your greatest investment and equity so be willing to do what ever it takes to get you unstuck because you are worth it ... right ... !!!

" What other people think about you is none of your business "

The POWER of STORY; THE POWER of WORDS.

2/25/2020

0 Comments

I write this Blog as husband Steve and VLR co-director is living his other passion which is endurance cycling.

Today FEB 26th Steve is currently nearing the completion of cycling the length of New Zealand from top to toe on his 3000km TOUR AOTEAROA cycling event. He is doing it in record time and inspiring many other riders, those that are tracking him across the globe, his wife, family, community and all at VLR.

When he is away from VLR for an extended time, I also seem to go on my own epic inner journey. Through this I come into deeper levels of awareness and realisation of the immense gift of Steve's steadfast presence, unwavering support, unconditional love and joyful dedication in my life for over 22 years and within our wellness business for the last 5+ years.

What can I say, I just get inspired and my heart opens even more into the
LIGHT & TRUTH of unconditional LOVE.

This divine authentic love wants to be expressed, shared and set free from my heart and soul, so this blog was born to capture the moment and the story when inspired to write.

I like many find Steve to be a beacon of inspiration with his capacity to dig deep and believe in himself, his ability and follow his joy.
That which sets the soul on fire.

It is shared with LOVE & with the intention that it may engage and ignite something deep within you; something you have longed to ignite and affirm in your life.

OR perhaps can offer a few ray's of hope, relief, peace, courage and light in the days, weeks, months and even years ahead.

Steve wrote this for moi, Mary Jo many years ago. Now I revamp and regift it back to him as he completes his epic 3000km T.A event.

The Power of STORY.

Everyone has a Story and here is some of ours
pre Steve's endurance cycling times.

In the earliest years of myself and Steve's relationship, communication was not so easy for either of us.

I had a greatly defended heart and was so afraid of so many things deep down. I spent many years on reflection with an underlining anxiety and overwhelm within my situation. My life was mostly consumed with attempting to appear strong on the outside to avoid being hurt, abandoned or rejected.

I use to be very over responsible in my attitude in an attempt to modulate the extremes of emotions being thrown all over the place in what I came to realise was a intensely dysfunctional home life. Plus I had been sent to live in two different children's home's between 3 and 6 years of age. ( BLOG HERE )

From 6 yrs of age I started to become the peace keeper in my family, the one to attempt to make things ok for everyone. I was strong for others at the expense of my own needs being met. Heck I did not even know what my needs were as I had buried and learnt to disallow them so much.

When Steve & I met at 16 and 17 year old, we were both pretty shy and awkward in our own respective ways. We met at a night club between our two towns on the west coast of Ireland. We went to different schools at the time.

I recall we were both feeling a bit lost in the Irish drinking culture and educational system. Steve would have much rather been training for Soccer and Gaelic football teams. For myself, however the alcohol did offer some much required reprieve to ‘let my hair down ‘ getting out of my mind for a bit to go have some fun. In fairness back then, the drinking culture in Ireland was pretty fun with family, friends and the local communities all hanging out in the pub together often after going to Church.

I had known from a early age that I wanted to get out into the world to travel and see different ways to live. Deep down I just felt there had to be a better way to live life that was easier and less of a struggle, However I had no idea what that was as it was just a gut / heart feeling at the time.

Steve and I became boyfriend and girlfriend for a few months in our Teens. I really had no idea how to be in a sincere relationship at that point in my life, so we ended it after 8+months. I went to college to study Industrial design and I joke that Steve went to the Pub for three years . But not the entire truth of course as he also took a 3 yr apprenticeship in carpentry. Then at 21yrs he had his first opportunity to leave Ireland with a friend and go live and work in Jersey which is one of the Channel Islands, a small island between England and France.

Even over the years I was in collage and Steve was doing his apprenticeship we would keep in touch sometimes and end up seeing each other out in different night clubs around our home towns.

When I finished college a group of friends invited me to go with them to visit Jersey in the summer months with the hope of finding work. At that time getting accommodation on the Island was a challenge so I ended up giving them Steve as a contact person. By the time I got there Steve and his roomie Dave were sharing there tiny bedsit with a few of my collage friends. Steve had even got with one of the girls and I had been with someone else in Collage for many months. It was certainly not my plan, however it did not take long before Steve and I managed to magnetise ourself together and I never did use my return ticket to fly home to Ireland that summer. I Stayed in Jersey with Steve and apart from splitting up for a couple of months that same year, we have been together ever since 22+ yrs and married for 11 years.

We lived primarily in Jersey from 1997 to 2007' before leaving there and travelling to N.Z in 2008'.

In our 20's a lot of fun was had living on what felt like a paradise Island compared to where we grew up in Ireland, a place where no one asked us what our plans were for our life's as really we had none except to travel and discover more about life and who we were.

We had lots of some fun times drinking and party on the weekends and working different jobs during the week. We started to save some money to go on extended travel adventures to Asia over those years and bit by bit we kept expanding our life experiences and perspectives. It was in 2003' in India that Steve and I got to experience our first authentic and traditional 10 day YOGA RETREAT and 10 DAY SILENT MEDITATION. Truly there is no going back after that .... as we began to come to know more experientially about the mind - body - spirit / energy connection. We became more aware of how things effected the body and mind and how the mind effected the body. We became more aware of reincarnation to represent the birth, life and death cycle that is a integral part of the Indian culture and spiritual traditions.

Even in India on our 1st ever Yoga retreat, Steve made getting into the posture of head stands look so easy and graceful compared to how I got to experience it. On the 10 Day Silent Meditation retreat sitting for 9 hours a day, he took to it like a Budda or at least that it what it seemed like to me.

On our return to Jersey, it was challenging for us both to try to marry the eastern body-mind-spiritual aligned ways we were discovering with the western ways of keeping the job to chase the $$$ to indulge in the pub culture / nightclubs on the weekends. India had a deeply profound and transformational effect on us both. It certainty gave us a much wider perspective on life and humbled our hearts and minds in many ways.

In generally drinking copious amounts of alcohol never suited Steve , he use to get sick as a dog afterwards and really suffer in his hangovers. On reflection it makes sense as Steve really has been a natural born athlete. He just could not find a way to truly express and excel in it especially as a teenager and 20’s.

A few months before Steve rode his 1st Tour Divide in 2017 which is a 4400km race across the united states he decided to quit alcohol. He had never considered to do this before then. He had a little alcohol when he returned to Ireland after his race and then after that pretty much none since. He says he does not like the feeling anymore and would rather feel the clarity and clearness of when he is riding his bike. His biking has become his greatest meditation.

Steve and Mary Jo 2019.

THE POWER OF LOVE in words.

To Heal the wounded insecure heart.

In the earlier years of our relationship one of the ways that Steve managed to communicate and bypass my heart defences, unhealthy relationship with my own emotional body and negative mental storyline’s was in gifting me a simply piece of paper or a card with a few poetic lines he had written. Within these simply lines, this man of few words ( back then ) would capture and communicate such a depth of soulful clarity that they would pierce right through the shields and I would feel so utterly seen, heard and recognised in the truth of my inner being beyond the stories of my mind and the pains of my emotional body.

In essence Steve seen me deeply and more truly before I was ready to see and accept myself. Now that I have walked my healing path and become the empowered healed healer of LOVE & LIGHT once more that I AM. It is my delight, honour and joy to bring forth from the depth of my true authentic being and reciprocate the love and support to Steve. It is my delight, honour, joy and compassion to extend this LOVE and LIGHTin words, story and heart to those that may feel as I once did.

I dedicate Steve's poetic LIGHT FILLED words he once gave to me, now to you. Please share them with someone you think it may inspire to also feel seen, loved and appreciated for whom they truly are beneath the challenges, the darkness, the anxiety, the concerns, worries, fear or depression.

If you ever wonder why I share as openly and authentically as I do ? It is because I know how it feels to deep down feel utterly alone, unsupported , unlovable, rejected, abandoned, unsafe and unacceptable for whom you truly are.

I want you to know you are not alone and I want you to remind others they are not alone either. For I recall that being the greatest pain of all to feel within my own inner prisons I had created to protect my heart from feeling the harsh world around me .

What I have learnt in my healing transformational experience this lifetime and from that of my soulful wisdom from other incarnations is this; that which we shine the light of awareness and fully acknowledge ( no turning away from in denial or avoidance ) does not own us anymore, we own it and that is empowerment.

Then with sincere forgiveness, acceptance and unconditional love we can transform all of what was once termed as negative / dark or abusive experiences and energies into powerful compassionate presence and brilliant wisdom that knows no bounds or limits within the soul, body and mind. There is then no need to repeat these patterns and experiences again, it is done and completed !!!

We stop running from the thoughts or trying to numb the feelings of those 'scary monsters' and 'ghosts' in the closets and under the floor boards trying to come forward within our respective psyche's'. We air those suckers out and return them to the light of consciousness !!! WOOHOO.

We return them to pure LOVE .

We come to realise we are powerful beyond measure and we move beyond egoic fears.

We realise deep down at our core that we are Consciousness / Spirit / Energy living a human experience.

And that experience can be weaved into a new storyline on a new stage of life.

And so it is.
Amen.
Hallelujah.
Praise us all !

That my vibrant friends is a story about the power of returning to LOVE.

The most important is SELF - LOVE and SELF - ACCEPTANCE within.

For we can not sustainable give what we do not have in abundance within.

SELF BELIEF & FAITH comes far easier to those that feel self love and acceptance !

Self Love is to feel Self Connection.
In self Connection is to know connection to all life.

Then you know in truth you are never alone.
For you are always connected to life.
AND
You Thrive.

Infinite Divine Love, Joy & Grace

Wellness Steps for releasing Anxiety and boosting your immunity system.

1/8/2020

1 Comment

Getting barefoot and grounding with the earth helps balance mental and physical energy by taking you out of stress by harmonising body, mind and spirit with earth resonance.

Check out this 2 min video below on introducing the concept of the science around grounding and a movie called “ the earthing movie “. The link for this movie documentary is included in this blog after the step by step VLR grounding wellness practices below.

Vibrant Living ~ Cultivating Awareness and Mindfulness Blog.
Wellness Tool in 9 easy steps.

In these current times a daily grounding practice is incredibly important for your over all general health and well-being physically, mentally and spiritually.

Here is a powerful Mindfulness Wellness Exercise I take people through on our Vibrant Living Wellness Retreats in Hanmer Springs, NZ.

This will be very helpful for anyone challenged with anxiety, digestive issues, low immunity and inflammation diseases. However it really is for everyone that would like to feel more at peace, trust and in flow by harmonising with with life's naturally rhythms.

Step 1. Take yourself into nature, it can be your garden or a forest walk. Somewhere you can get barefooted and feel your feet on the earth 🌍. Feel the texture of the grass or pebbles under your feet.

Step2. Then take a few deep breaths and enjoy a gentle barefoot walk with breath awareness.

Step 3. Sit by a tree for awhile. Open to the gentle wisdom and presence of nature and notice how the trees have a deep rooted connection to the earth. Use your imagination ( right hemisphere of the brain 🧠) to Imagine you also have a root system going deep into the earth in all direction out of your feet. If you find imagination difficult then just pretend or intend it and have fun with it.

Step 4. After a few minutes sitting by the tree trunk begin to walk again but this time as if you are like a tree with deep roots into the earth.

Step 5. Now that you are feeling grounding and rooted deeply into the earth , it is time to become aware of the other elements of nature . Feel the temperature of the wind on your skin and then the sun or warmth on your skin. Begin to now notice how like a tree or plant it rises from the earth and opens to the sun and the sky. Feel yourself grounded into the earth and rising upwards to the sky creating length and openness in your body and spine.

Step 6. Slide your shoulders back and notice around you all the many different shapes and colours in nature’s; in the trees 🌳 and the plants 🌱 and the small grasses and flowers 🌷 . If you feel comfortable open your arms wide and reach up into the sky for 30 seconds. Notice how this changes your mood and you feel more calm, relaxed and joyful.

Step 7. Continue to Breathe in with curiosity and wonder on your connection to this nature all around you and how you are breathing the air in through your nose that goes into your lungs that then passes it to your heart. There the heart pumps it through the red blood cells which move through out your blood stream to reach into trillions of cells.

*** This element of air and ether is what is permeating every cell in your body with oxygen and lifeforce chi energy and maintaining your life vitality. Without breath for just a few minutes there is no life in the body. The exhale also releases the deoxygenated breath and toxins which the plants and trees renew back into fresh oxygen 🌳🌱💓

Step 8. Allow yourself to be gently reminded of your inherent connection and inter-relationship with these elements of air, ether, earth, sun and water ( water represented by the flow of blood in the body which is 70% , 80% or even 90% water so science tells us these days )

Step 9 : Feel the natural ‘attitude of gratitude’ bubble up from within you for the precious gift of life this day and decide this is a my good day. Thank you life 🙏 . Breathe in the love and support all around you and breath out gratitude.

Repeat daily or as often as possible. Requires 10-15 mins.

Take the reins on your day with this daily practice and experience the difference it makes to your day, your body and mind.

I trust you find this practice helpful. However like any wellness practices you will have to put it into actual practice. Reading about it does not translate into an embodied real time experience. So do yourself a favour and put your phone aside for a few minutes and give it a real go. 😉

Transform theory into experience !

Make a deal with yourself to try it out for one week practicing it daily. Then don’t do it for the next week. Keep a journal 📔 and note what is different about each week. Notice if when you did this grounding practice if you felt more calm and relaxed and confident to go about your day with a greater ease, confidence, clarity and felt more in the flow ?

Then decide if it is a keeper or not ? If it is then choose to commit to integrate the practice into you and your families daily life with regular time barefoot in nature.

There is good reason children love to be barefoot in nature. Now you know why you should join them ! ! !

Happy grounding 😃

" Delight in being humbled by the magnificence of your existence and all existence's "

Pregnant with third baby, no time for a baby moon before baby comes in April.
LOVE
My husband deserves a chance to fully relax and take stock. He always priorities us before himself!
We are always looking after others and need a chance to relax and recharge. Vibrant Living is the perfect place for this.
Husband and wife who love to pursue never ending health and happiness
To continue the commitment to self care and sharing the knowledge.
Because he has been working so hard and always goes out of his way to care for me and he needs a chance to stop and rejuvenate himself.
I have been to vibrant living twice before and have found it very welcoming and transformative both times. 2020 will be a year of change as I start my new job in a new city. Winning this escape would allow me to take time out and reflect/recenter amongst all of the change.
I’ve had a bit of a tough year, breast cancer diagnosis, 2 surgeries later and I’m pretty well. But it’s been hard at times as we own our own business and I couldn’t always get the the time off I wanted. So a couple of nights of pampering and relaxing in your beautiful setting would be just the ticket
My wife and I haven't had any time ways since we spent spent a night with you over 2 years ago. My wife really enjoyed her massage and the hot pools it was a relaxing time away from our busy lives.
2020 is a special year for us as my husband will be having his 70th birthday, we had the best experience when last stayed with you at Queens Birthday weekend a few years ago. we both loved the massage and enjoyed chilling out in the hots pool. I loved have breakfast made for me and enjoyed your lovely fresh food.
My Partner works full time and has been at Uni part time for the last
two and a half years.
He deserves to find himself again, he takes way too much on and doesn't the time to unwind and relax.
Been a follower since way b4 this started up at 2 previous addresses and love mjs massages and being a solo mumma this would be a well deserve break for me
2019 was a very sad and stressful one for myself and partner Kevin. Would be fantastic to set it up in a good direction heading into 2020
My friend and I normally come up once a year for a girls weekend but in the last 2 years kids have taken over and matching free weekends haven't happened, so we need to make time for ourselves and have kid free time. If we won we would have to make it happen and I think we would both love it!!
because It is one of my favourite places to enjoy beautiful part of NZ
it has been a hard couple of years and time to put some time into myself
My partner Chris has had a stressful year and had a mild heart attack and he deserves a pampering.
We have three darling kiddos, one of whom with special needs who is super active and lacks understanding of dangers. Therefore she needs constant supervision and watchfulness which is rewarding and fun, but also exceptionally draining physically, mentally and spiritually. Thanks for offering the prize draw Mary Jo.
We are both hard workers, parents of 2 young children so we don't have the occasion to get away together as a couple or to relax. My husband is a builder with an ongoing achy body, and I'm a nature guide with a less achy body but a mind that needs to settle and relax! Both wildlife and nature lovers ;)
It would be great to take time out for myself after a very hectic year.
We have been regular visitors to Hanmer, even from across the ditch ( one of my sisters lives in NZ). However since we have become foster carers we are in need of a break and some healing. Even if it just to release frustrations with the system!
This will greatly help me to recover from my current situation which I experienced recently. Thanks to Mary and Stephen.
For my dear friend who supports me in times of need
I would like to enter myself and my dear friend. We have both had challenging 2019s. My friend lost her much loved father to illness, after nursing and caring for him for many months. My situation is very different although many of the same emotions are attached. My sister has recently gone to prison, so for the last months I have been trying my best to help and support her 2 young children as well as my own 3 young children and the rest of my family. Both of us and I attended a Yoga/Meditation weekend with Mary Jo and I learnt so many strategies which have helped me through the past few months, I would love us to come back for a chance to relax and revive,ready to start 2020 in a positive light.
For my girlfriend, she loves massage, it may also help with some of her health issues, IBS, tight neck & shoulders and migraines. And I’d accompany her too for a mini break away as I love the South Island, have very briefly visited Hanmer, so would love to explore properly. Namaste 🙏
My husband and I celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary in 2020 - what a great way to celebrate it would be!
Always wanted to treat myself to a spa escape package. I am the mother of a gorgeous 16year old who could join me on this wonderful treat to set up good habits for life :-)
Chris (my husband) and I enjoyed our stay and healing process last time. We would love to come back and do it again, learn more, relax more...
I’m working on a healthier me.
I’ve had an emotionally exhausting year full of change and growth which has at times been very painful. I would love to have this opportunity to rest and recalibrate for 2020. I would bring my mum as this would be a great opportunity for us to share some relaxing, quality time together. I know she needs it as this year has brought many challenges for her as well.
I have two young children and another on the way. I'm going to need some relaxing me time.
Having stayed with you once before I'd love to be able to share that with my partner
I would love to take my best friend with me if I win. She has 2 boys under 5 and she is currently expecting a baby girl, due in March. Her husband is away from home (for work) for more than half the year so she would love to be able to get some time off to relax, rejuvenate and recharge!
My husband and I work very hard all year with lots of family obligations and it would be nice just for the 2 of us to enjoy nature and each other.
My husband works so hard to provide for our 8 kids and needs a break.
I would love to share this special package with my 16 year old daughter and encourage good habits for life! Perhaps it could become a yearly retreat for us :-)
I have had a tough last few years with a knee surgery and family issues. The opportunity to have two days of relaxing and rejuvenating would be amazing for my body and mind!
My wife and I hope to celebrate our 38th wedding anniversary in Hanmer Springs. We love it there, having been twice already, and we look forward to reliving our original visit to Mary Jo many years ago.
I would love to win this for my dear friend. She has had a challenging year with her first baby, born with a heart defect via cesarean. She never complains and is a wonderful mum but I know this is just what she needs!! And she may just take me along too, and that would make for a very special girls treat!
I’m entering this competition for my wife because she is amazing and has had a hard 8 weeks since giving birth to our son and deserves a break and time to unwind and relax
So my bestie Jenny and I can have some quality relaxation,
‘me’ time, and also a fabulous catch up. We try and meet up once a year since i moved away from Glenorchy to the cool little town of Hokitika.
This last year I worked 90hr weeks to help keep my families heads above water. I would love to say I am entering for someone else but I am so in need of some relaxation and renewal in order for me to keep looking after those I love I'm being a little selfish and hoping I am deserving enough. X
I have learned that you need to take care of yourself as well in order to be able to be a human being that others enjoy being around. Plus I've been working incredibly hard this whole year ;-)
Coming to NZ in January 2020 to visit my favourite country - would love to be able to visit the retreat and enjoy all that it offers.
For the pure selfish pleasure of being pampered and being looked after in a most relaxing way. And to leave feeling on top of it all.
We came to you guys for our honeymoon and would love to come back again in celebration of our 1yr anniversary. Love what you do and lovely people.
I have recently been diagnosed with multiple skull tumours. I have a biopsy and tumour removal surgery booked for early February. I would love to come before then to get healthy and relax my mind.
I have multiple sclerosis. I have looked for many answers for treatment. It all leads to a healthy lifestyle. I have strayed and need some time out to bring myself back on board. I am in need of wholesome fresh food and self care. Any extra pampering would be very welcome for my wellbeing.

Stepping into 2020 with clarity and courage.

12/30/2019

0 Comments

Words for thought, insight, inspiration and reflection as we transition into the new year of 2020 and a new decade ahead. Plus a powerful and simply wellness tool included in this blog post for you to put into practice to help you clarify your core values and focus in year ahead.

Words for thought and reflection as we transition into the new year of 2020 and a epic new decade ahead.

2020 is a year to get real and raw folks for we don't have time to beat around the bush or mince our words with being overly nice and mannerly to not cause upset or disruption. Life is here and it is in disruption regardless. Now the bigger and more important question; is how will we choose to best navigate all those experiences coming to our door so too speak on a personal, local, national and global level if not in person then via technology ?

It seems so futuristic as I recall the mention of 2020 from the year 2000. Yet here it is for each of us to embrace ... ready or not so we may as well open up our arms and say YESsssss ! ! !

This blog was written to assist and support the reader gain a deeper clarity and greater courage stepping into 2020 and the years ahead.

I am sure you will agree that it does not take a rocket scientist to note that the next decade will be an incredible and evolutionary time for us all. You / we can feel it... even if you don’t watch or read the regular mainstream news or an alternative news source.

On one earthly hand 🌍 👋 there is greater technological advances being introduced and on the horizon into our societies. On the other earthly hand 🌎 is the current and rising crisis that can not be ignored or shoved back under the preverbal carpet on the topic of what is occurring in our humanities rising health and well-being challenges. It is shocking, sad, disheartening, un-grounding and overwhelming for many across the globe 🌍...just the increase in cancers and anxieties people are dealing with on a normal day directly or indirectly.

Much creative thinking 🤔 and a solution focused, integral priority is required to rebalance our societal systems into one that truly is supportive and affirmative for empowering personal and collective health, harmony and well being. The years ahead will require each of our courage, fearless love 💓 and clarity that come from connecting with our deeper core values and living as examples of those virtues the best one can with integrity and authenticity.

Core values influence our core choices that we make daily. They influence the little things that eventuate into creating the bigger things in life; for or example creating cleaner oceans and electing politicians that actually have the ability to really listen 👂 to those they represent and communicate with authenticity and compassion for their fellow human family and communities regardless of race, colour, religion or financial status.

This for the most part is a far cry from the current situation of politicians spending long days and copious amounts of rate payers money in debate about rules and regulations that don't really hold the highest and best good of the greater humanity and a sustainable planet. This is a reflection of a very mislead, wasteful and disharmonious system among many that somehow we all have been upholding due to going along with things, not really knowing the inner power we hold and a 'Let’s not rock' the boat mentality. Well the boat is rocking and climate change and increased levels of sickness is just a couple of examples that we cannot turn away from and pretend is not happening.

How many Trumps do we need to create a head spin and get the message through to awakens our inner fire that ‘ this is not ok ‘ ! A rude awakening Mr Trump has been and yet a tremendous antidote to our collective apathy and expectations of someone or something outside of the self to fix things and make things right. Trump is a great example of just how wayward things can go when we relinquish our self empowered responsibly.

A big 👍 for Jacinda Our N.Z. Prime Minister. A wonderful example in my humble opinion of a Politician whom has not sold out her humanity for the game and systems of politics. A planetary example of staying strong and resilient as a compassionate, common sense, practical, caring and authentic Politician and human being.

To be honest I have had little interest in Politics finding it incredibly mundane and a very mental process for the most part. In previous times I found not much true authentic heart in it and far too much of personal agendas and gains getting mixed up in it. However this last year I have had the great honour of meeting in person a couple of wonderful Politicians partial frustrated themselves by the inability to create the changes they thought they could and finding not great support as an authentic voice among the pigeons. It was able to pass onto to these people the news of a wonderful women called Marianne Williams whom is currently running for the next elections in USA 🇺🇸. If you have not heard of her or heard her speak please google her and hear her messages.

In 2020 Personal responsibility is a must to create the change we want to see and experience in our outer world. We cannot wait for the Political systems to do it for us or any other systems for that matter. We must get really clear on what our own deeper and most valued truth and virtues are. What is it we need to become ourself to walk the walk and not just talk the talk or blame others for not walking their talk ? How do we become more integral by our thoughts, words and actions? These after all are what relay our most treasures values, beliefs and communicate impressions to others and the children observing us ? A great way if you have children is to ask what values would you most want your children to remember you mostly for ?

It all begins within by cultivating daily well-being practices that support becoming mindfully aware of ones thoughts, speech and actions and how these habits and intentions / attention actually connect outwards to influence the experiences of life a person has.

“ what you give out you get back “

The greatest liberation is in taking full responsibility for your life experiences even if you don’t like what you are currently seeing. If you don’t then the tendency is to look outwards for someone or something to blame and you lock yourself into thinking and believing you are a victim and powerless. Or you blame yourself deep down for never being good enough and turn that anger and resentment inwards which will definitely cause a dis-ease response in the body.

The biggest thing that must transform in the next decade is our humanities deep down self esteem issues. We must finally awaken to the fact that we are inherently worthy to know we are powerful beyond measure and that Jesus was not a liar when quoted as stating

“ everything I can do, you will do and more “.

And who wants to call Jesus a liar ... right 😅😉 ! Jesus ( Yeshua ) wanted us to come into the awareness and acceptance that we are each godliness also within. Like him we are sons and daughters of god. We are not separate from the light of Christ that shone through his earthly body over 2000+ years ago. This light comes through each ones sacred heart 💓 space when one is ready to heal, harmonise and reconcile from past karmic patterns, traumas, shame, distortions of truth, control issues and unresolved emotions.

The more one releases and heals the past the more the Christed light can move freely through unobstructed by what has been the norm for 1000’s of years. The norm of excessive human fear, uncertainty, un-forgiveness, distrust, shame and self-doubt issues. Hence feeling and believing one is deeply unworthy and undeserving to accept such a magnificent radiant blessings to know that I AM GOD also.

Not just as a mental concept to try to attain and grasp at but as an experience of ‘truth’ beyond the words and limited interpretations by mans ( or womens ) ego living its separated identity so mightily upon the earth.

Journaling 📔 Wellness Tool.

So with all that profound and straight talking ‘soul food ‘ for your thoughts, heart, body, emotions and soul I invite you to join me to take a few deep breaths and get a piece of paper or journal 📔 to do a yearly clean out and clarify your intentions for the year of 2020.

This is one of the wellness tools I share on our Vibrant Living Wellness Retreats. It is a simply and very powerful writing ✍🏻 tool to help organise and gain clarity of your deeper values and preferred focus moving into your future NOW.

“ the only true moment of creation is the present moment “

It is truly a practical tool that I suggest you do once monthly through out 2020 or as you transition the seasons.

VL Wellness Tool to clarify your 2020 Intentions 1. 2. & 3:

Page 1: write down a list with the heading - Everything I am ready to leave behind in 2019. Add a subheading : beliefs, thoughts, habits, communications, relationships , food choices ... etc

Page 2: write down a list with the heading. Everything I am ready to invite more of into my life experiences in 2020 . Add a subheading : beliefs, thoughts , habits , communications , relationships , food choices etc

Page 3: write your heading Wellness Toolkit for 2020. Subheading : My favourite well-being practices, habits and experiences I can add into my regular life that creates and supports me to feel truly alive , relaxed , vibrant ,peaceful, harmonious , inspired, connected , joyful , creative, balanced and calm in body mind and soul.

The 3rd list is intended to help you create daily well-being practices that support you to experience feeling grounded and in your natural vital life flow while keeping your heart opened with positive expectancy to all the good in your life already and that is coming to you with trust, faith and openness to receive with ease and inherent worthiness within. .

When you or anyone goes into fear or worry the 1st thing that’s happens is you shorten or hold your breath known as 'shallow breathing' and your heart closes. This then switches the 'primal survival brain' on that literally goes into the protecting mode to potentially save your life from what it perceives must be a impending danger of some sort know as the ’fight or flight or freeze ’ mode response of the bodies nervous system. Hence this is why taking the good deep and easy rhythmic breath is step one before any other wellness practice.

In 2020 we at Vibrant Living Retreat are delighted to continue on to be of caring, joyful and compassionate wellness services to those that are stepping forward for themselves in the values of self care, self healing, self empowerment and self creation through self responsibility. “ God helps those that helps themselves “ which means each person has a god given freewill to choose as they will.

God is waiting for you to make the 1st step; to make your choice and the preference you prefer. Once you make your committed choice with two feet in then god or the universal isness can get right in behind you supporting you all the way forward on your chosen life path decision until you make a new choice of direction. What we don’t always understand in our human nature is that you can choose again and again what ever you decide even 10 seconds later . It is the indecision that creates the deep struggles one feel inside. This non commitment in any one direction is often because one is unwilling to make a choice for fear of getting it wrong and not wanting to take responsibility if one does.

In simply term one does not trust themselves or life. it is a challenging thing for our human egos to swallow that there really is never a wrong decision made no matter the outcome for everything is a learning and growing experience. Learning what one does not prefer to experience offers lots of clarity and determination into what one does prefer.

I trust this blog and wellness tool is helpful and insightful to be a support for your year (s) ahead.

Please comment below and share what you found Insightful and helpful.

Vibrant love 💓 AND magical godly / goddess blessings of universal support for your 2020 year ahead.

May you create and open to your amazing year ahead with a relaxed confidence and ease.

2019 - What a year to reflect upon. Here is my story to add to the library of our collective consciousness.

12/6/2019

2 Comments

Mary Jo VLR Co-director . Picture Credit : http://www.valettabrenzon.com

Hello to our wonderful Vibrant Living extended Family,

As we close out 2019, I am feeling reflective of what has been a epic year of experiences. I could write a book on 2019 alone.

In my own personal experience at times over this last year is it has felt like a roller coaster ride of mixed emotions moving through great heights of personal empowerment , clarity, vitality and joyful service to sudden dips into feelings of overwhelm, exhaustion, uncertainty, unsupported, habit to control, distrust and with deep sadness and confusion.

Over the year I was confronted by my own challenges and inabilities to receive and let in the balance of support I needed at times with what I give out. I was humbled into asking for more support and faced with a deep seated fear of it not being provided or even if it was, it being taking away from me rather swiftly. I realised I felt more in control in the giving and how much a state of open vulnerability and accepting ones worthiness and inherent value is required to be capable to receive from life and others with ease, gratitude and joy.

I uncovered that much of this pattern within me goes back to my early childhood experiences and a influence from other life's my soul has lived when I did in fact experience these patterns again and again. In this life as Mary Jo at age 3 years old I was sent to two different children's home over a 3 year period along with my two younger siblings until I was 6 yrs olds. By the age of 3yrs old I had started to live a great deal of my life in the Fight or Flight stress response to life due to feeling unsafe and uncertain within my environment. Hence why so much of my latter life has been about how to unwind my previously over stressed nervous system and heal thyself. No better way to learn than through personal experience.. right !

I realised a metaphorical door had been closed on those formative years within my psyche between the ages of 3-6yrs which resulted in me having very little memories of those years. That door got opened more and more over the last year and was its most intense in its emotional cleansing from the period of June to Oct.

The door began to be opened after we received a surprise infringement letter back in January which stated that we were being fined for our little dogie Magica whom had being doing some roaming next door in the housing estate. It stated that if we received 3 of these letters over a two year period we could be disqualified from being dog owners. Well that just cracked my heart open with raw emotions of grief, shock, anger, confusion and sadness. Our little cute furbaby Magica whom melts the hearts of many of our guests and clients regularly. In fact many people tell us they have never met a dog so mellow and gentle. She is 9 years with us living in Hanmer Springs and we never received a letter like this before. It seemed ridiculous to receive such a letter and anyone we told laughed too as it just seemed so strange a thing to happen. We really had trouble taking it seriously.

Over the years all we had generally heard was positive endearing feedback about her encounters with people both on our property and off of it. However receiving this surprise letter stirred in me the possibility of losing my dogie whom I love so much. I even call her my heart and greatest teacher of unconditional love and joy this life. This brought to the surface of my psyche the sadness of my younger 3yr old self when she perceived herself to be taken from her parents whom she loved and placed into the children homes where she did not feel she belonged.

I believe that on a a higher level the entire situation was to help me heal the unresolved emotional patterns of my past and my little dog was playing out her divine intervention role for my highest and best good and for those also involved if they were willing to receive the gifts and to balance the old karma from other life incarnations shared.

" There is two ways to look at life, one as if nothing is a miracle and the other as if everything is " Albert Einstein.

The greater opportunity of my soul through my human journey in this instance was to realise and accept that love in its purest expression can never really be lost and I am that essence of love within the depth of my true being just like everyone is.

Through the accumulative effect the door of my heart and psyche was opened and it presented me with the amazing invitation to finally resolve, heal and set free those feelings and emotions of my younger self, which I had not been ready before this year of 2019 to fully acknowledge, feel and embrace with divine compassion and love. Or to use the scientific term to return the electro-magnetic charge of where all these unresolved emotion's / feeling's were held in the cellular memory within the polarities back to the neural 'Zero Point Field'.

When we have stressful experiences that is simply too much to process or has no supportive outlet for expression in a healthy loving way, they most often get stuffed down and even fragmented off behind a forgotten doorway. If they never get resolved they can potentially play havoc with ones psyche, create a distorted self esteem image and lead to all kinds of imbalances and stresses like anxiety, depression and cancers in the body.

If you want to know at least some of my secret to not needing to see a medical doctor in over 13 years, it is because I have been willing to do my inner work with being open to exploring different ways to release and express old emotions in healthy ways. I embrace the messages from my body with the understanding that my body is my friend that I listen to and it represents my subconscious programming / conditioning / patterning. The next stage is to change the old thought patterns and beliefs by acknowledgement and then change focus into the more positive affirmative new ones instead.

Another analogy to describe my experience in 2019 is feeling like I went through a year long washing machine cycle that has cleansed and purged out any remaining residual unresolved emotional patterns and limiting thoughts from my cellular body. For a couple of the most intensive weeks in June and July this got expressed through my physical body as coldsore popping up on my face and over my body in a way I never experienced before. Thankfully I was aware of what was taking place due to a wonderful healing session exchange I had with a lady called Eileen Faith whom received the guidance to pass onto to me of what was happening within me. Eileen has become a good friend after many year coming to me for massages and then booked in her own QHHT session last year. She is a very gifted intuitive healer. You can find her details in our FAQ page.

Now coming to the end of this year of 2019 I am feeling well rinsed and renewed to a new level of inner peace, clarity and acceptance within my true authentic being and soulful expression. I am feeling relaxed and excited about the year 2020 and ready to serve with a deeper faith in greater capacity those that cross my path at Vibrant Living Retreat and beyond.

I trust that with my open and authentic sharing and caring, it will support and add insights into your own life path journey now or in the future. Or perhaps it may add some light as you relate to certain members of your family or friends that are moving through their own challenging life transitions and awakenings to a higher level and expansion of conscious awareness. We are ultimately all in this together as a collective consciousness, however it can feel like a lonely journey at times especially if we don't feel we can openly talk to people around us that understand the process of evolution that is happening within each of us to different levels of expression and through out the earth, planets and universe.

2020 feels like a pivotal year for many of us that have been transitioning through a shift of consciousness for the last decade. A threshold of sorts that has spanned the last decade more speedily and the decades previous to this setting the grand stage for 2012 and the ushering in of our new epoch and cycle of galactic time on earth. Millions of us across the globe whom many call 'LIGHT WORKERS' have been dedicated to our inner transformational awakening journey so as to be the 'way showers' and examples with integrity of what is possible when we live our truth.

We are entering into a more highly evolved and conscious humanity that desires to live in greater harmony within one self and extend that out to each other and the planet. We are here as the soul's choice to discover a way to be healed and whole again and walk our authentic path lighting a pathway of possibilities for others to choose or not.

We are here to set new standards as living examples of stepping into these new possibilities and potentials as new realities through embracing creative higher thoughts and actions of self love, unconditional acceptance, having a attitude of gratitude and embodying the expanded vibrational frequencies that support radiance, connection and representing the purity of Divine HU-man being. This evolution is at a very important tipping point as we enter 2020 and the next 20 years will be epic as we integrate, ground, own and live our greater truth as 'Divine Human Beings' unapologetically for the greater awakening and elevation of consciousness that is stirring in millions and millions of people across the globe. OMG so exciting. I could talk about this topic of our conscious awakening and expansion all day. Not much excites my heart and soul more.

So if life is throwing curve balls your way and you feel over whelmed by it all, please please don't ever think you are going crazy or judge yourself harshly. No matter if life seems like it is all falling apart and you simply cannot bring it back together the way you think you want it to be and need it to be to feel so called normal and sane. Sometimes everything has to fall apart or seem like it is in order to rearrange itself into a greater divine order and freedom you may never have even knew was possible. So be as kind and gentle and loving to the self as you can through the process and if you need some support you know where I am. It is my greatest honour and joy to support, guide and empower you on your journey beyond the fear of death (s) and change and into truly living your greatest natural expression and unique version walking this exquisite earth home. Remember you are one of a kind; unique and of divine design and you matter to the matter around you.

Being authentic and transparent is the best way forward from now on, in all our perceived greatness, failings, shame point and challenges. Of course from the higher expanded vision of spirit, life is an experience and a gift to be embraced. What the human ego considers a failure or a success, a rightness or a wrongness is really just an experience to learn, grow and evolve with and from into even greater resilience and potentials.

Lip service does not do it anymore, we got to walk our talk and own our stuff, you know the stuff that makes us human and feel imperfect and not enough. The stuff we all share behind the scenes to lesser or more degrees and yet pretend we don't ! I have discovered that shame only lives in those parts of the self that have been held in denial and non acceptance, once accepted and included those parts become whole again and even becomes our greatest gifts of compassion, self realisation and wisdom.

So that is a bit of my behind the scenes storyline from 2019.

" We struggle with insecurity because we compare our behind the scenes with everyone else's highlight reel "

To the frontline of my highlight reel 2019 afforded me the opportunity to attend a few different areas of wellness trainings that peeked my interest and curiosity. I was guided this year to travel more and meet more resonant people and be part of bigger living conscious light worker focused communities for a few days or a week at a time.

My new certification additions in 2019.

MARCH 2019 I took a 6 day Holistic Pelvic Care Level 1 and 2 certification in Auckland with Tami Kent from USA
MAY 2019 I Attended a weekend 20hr Pregnancy Yoga Training in Nelson,
SEPT 2019 I Attend a 5 Day certified immersive 'Introspective hypnosis' training in Wanaka
NOV 2019 Join a 9 Day Pranic Living Fasting Retreat on the Sunshine coast of Australia.

I feel a bit spoiled to say the least reading over that list. How did I get so lucky ? I am very grateful.

To add to that I also got to attend my 1st Luminate Festival last January and a Yoga Festival in Feb. Then in August I had my 1st trip to Rarotonga island for a much needed 9 night rest and replenish holiday with a wonderful soul sista and healer / animal communicator Rebecca Gambles.

On the flip side this year I also got to lead and facilitate many wonderful Retreats at Vibrant Living for beautiful people coming from all parts of NZ and some from Australia and other parts of the world. I have been in the roles of guide, teacher, student, coach, therapist, healer and trainer. I have facilitated many detox wellness retreats through out the year and numerous QHHT sessions, I gave numerous Massages and Day Spa treatments to clients and retreat guests, I lead numerous Yoga and Mindfulness sessions.

I also was blessed to train 12 new students in my 50hr Holistic Massage training week over the year in 3 separate x 6 day retreats and trained 8 new Indian Head Massage students in my 10hr certification training course. All up I added 20 new trained therapists to our Vibrant Wellness Academy platform in 2019. I feel pretty proud of that I must say as setting up my own training academy was a very inspired and creative idea back in FEB 2017'. I have not counted but at a guess I must have trained well over 50 students since then and each training experience inspires me to further develop and expand Vibrant Wellness Academy trainings and resources for my students to continue on learning after their training retreat time with us here at Vibrant Living Retreat. Click HERE for more on info on my holistic massage and beauty trainings coming up in 2020.

That is the shortened version recap of my year. It was fun to reflect upon and actually write these things down. For 2020 is just around the corner and it will soon be time to get on with the next life adventures and creative potentials it will present for each of our attention, discovery, experience and embrace. Perhaps this will inspire you to also recap your year as we bring 2019 to a close.

Our soulful vision with Vibrant Living Retreat is to create a beautiful place where people can come to relax, rejuvenate and simple BE ones authentic self in a safe caring non-judgemental space. A place where people can soak up the good vibes and enjoy professional and fun services that naturally harmonise body, mind and soul like Massages, Healing Modalities, Nature, Organic Healthy Meals, Outdoor Adventures, Hot Pools, Yoga, Mindfulness, Meditations, Affirmations and other Wellness Practices in a fully supported and easy going, empowering and adaptive atmosphere.

Always a thank you to my Hubby and SoulMate Steve for all he does behind the scenes at Vibrant Living Retreat so that everything runs smoothly and looks great and I can attend to BEING the Healed Healer I AM this life for both myself and others I am here to serve. He is also super goofy at times and makes me and our VLR team laugh with his light hearted silliness.

I am beyond grateful for the trust, love and support this beautiful man, lover and friend has showed me through out the 20+ years we have been together on this adventure through life and the awakenings of our consciousness into newly expanded potentials. Many people remark that we are a great team and truly we seem to be and VLR has really giving us the opportunity to explore and live this real time. As in any relationship we have had our growing pains and have learned along the way that to empower oneself was to set ourself and each other free to stay true to our authentic and unique life paths and soulful passions.

So we do our best to support and trust each others life flight paths and passions to elevate to new heights of possibilities and awe. We are each others greatest fans and it is pretty darn awesome to get to inspire one another in very different ways. We have been blessed to walk beside one another in all flavours of life experiences and know the trails and tribulations it has taken to transverse where we were to where we have come to be. We take nothing for granted and feel immense gratitude for the epic life's we get to live each day. It is a great joy and delight to share this with others at VLR.

The dreaded Cccccc Word and its impending trauma or is there another approach ???

6/13/2019

0 Comments

A important message.
When you hear the word cancer
Does it make you feel more love or more fear?
Does it make you feel more contracted, overwhelmed, sympathetic and feeling hopeless ? for yourself or others with the diagnosis ?

Did you know that with all the money and research poured into finding a cure the stats show it has only increased and become way more prevalent across the globe. To learn more go watch the movie Food Matters.

At its core according what I have learned from many clients I have worked with via quantum hypnosis healing sessions over the last few years is that the message of Cancer in the body is generally a by-product of too much fear and stress in the persons life. This has created the lack of oxygen into the cells due to the lack of feeling deserving of taken in life and being fully supported by life unconditionally. I.E. no self sacrifice required.

Which translates to this message that you do not have to try and do it all and be it all for everyone around you all the time ... sound familiar !?!

Depending where in the body the Cancer is will reflect the message of that specific stressor or place of lack of fulfilment being experienced or allowed by the individually person.

Until the underlining core message is accepted, received and honoured then it has to return ( because the message was NOT received & accepted fully ) .... even with a so called clean bill of health offered by surgeons post cancer treatments.

My message if you have read my previous post and video is stop hating the messengers.
Allow if you will ..... for I am
a voice for your intelligent brilliant body.

Instead why not receive its messages and make friends with your intelligent body. Ask what does it need from you to heal, not how can I get rid of the messenger and extinguish it forever. How unkind to that which is doing its best to point you onto a higher more soulfully aligned supported path for your life. ( remember you wanted to be that in this life !!! ).

I know this is a touchy controversial conversation that many would prefer give a wide birth too. Trust me when I say this message comes from a deep place of fierce love and compassion from the knowiness of a deeper truth and understanding of whom each one is. No one is a victim of circumstances.

Life truly is 10% of what happens to you and 90% of how you respond.

Thankfully more and more people are responding with greater self responsibility to discover more about how to self-heal and self-care more naturally. More naturally means in a way that is in harmony with ones nature and the greater nature of planet earth and even our universe.

More and more people are learning to move away from the nay sayers even if they are their families. It is vital to move away from the negative projections of other peoples fears and judgements. Remember it is your life that is potentially at stake here. This is your wake up call from your deeper self ( higher self ) to come back to your deeper truth and truer nature.

This is important for every cell of the body listens to every thought of the person and responds accordingly. Ones environment is of the upmost importance for recovery and continued sustainable health and wealth of well-being.

In today’s world it often takes great courage to take back ones power and make oneself as number 1 in ones life. The mind cries out .... but that means I am selfish. No it really does not, the more you are healed, the more you can be your greatest version with authentic love and compassion for yourself and your family.

Being faced with a potential death sentence is one way to get your attention and willingness to come back into the self on a deeper level and discover the wealth of well-being, divine love , light , connection and support available if only one is willing. The Ego has FREE WILL to say no and continue trying to fit into what it thinks everyone around needs of them in order to get their .... let’s face it conditionally love, approval and support !!!

“ forgive them father for they know not what they do “

What is happening with cancer on this planet is traumatic indeed particular in western countries.

It does not have to be and many have used it to their advantage and decided to truly live beyond fear , doubt and the limitations of the mind. Some of these people have written books , truly inspirational insightful books of what it means to finally let go and fully embrace life and oneself one day at a time.

Example 1: They take the money and book the travel adventure they had been planning for some future date way down the road perhaps after all their children’s had gone through college.

2: They book the retreat they always wanted and allow receiving been pampered and cared for and nourished on every level.

3: They start running because they always had a dream of running a marathon but never felt they had what it takes.

Many people that have been labelled with the dreaded C word diagnosis to deal with go onto discover the inherent beauty of life and themselves along the way. But really ... is this how bad things have to get before we will surrender the hard life, pretences and suffering stubborn attitude ?

What will it take to open up to the value of self-care, self nurturance, receiving support, letting emotions pour out freely and unapologetically and being ones true authentic self.

Life ( spirit , god, nature or what ever word is yours to express that which is beyond comprehension and human words ) loves you so much that if a illness is required to get your attention to help you become aware to what is happening deeper with in you ... so be it. You are the love affair of eternal life and it will do what ever you require and ask of it via your daily thoughts / actions / vibrations for your highest and best good.

But the question is .. will you ???

A helpful, clarifying and powerful question to tap into what you would really do if you were not afraid is this.

Ask yourself

Q: if I were not afraid I would ???

Write the response down

or

even better and when you are ready to go deeper ... look in the mirror. Look deep into your own eyes ( yes it can be confronting , breath deeply and allow ) , “ the eyes are the window of the soul “ where the hidden becomes revealed. Let the tears flow as they are the acknowledgement of deeper truths and unfelt feelings from long ago.

This is the natural healing process
Emotions are just energy in motion
Set them free
And
You set yourself free.

Amen ?
Namaste ?
A Return to love and acceptance is key
?
Don’t hate the messengers
Only Take what is helpful
That which resonants with your own deeper inner knowingness
And
Leave the rest.

I am only here as a guide to help awaken you on behalf of your inner light as others have done for me and continue to do.
We walk our respective journey alone for awhile only to discover along the way that we have never been alone. For all is connected.

Trust your life path
Embrace its edginess
Go beyond previous limitations
Awaken to your deeper truth
You choose to be on this planet
Your soul would not have missed it
None of it has been a mistake
Say yessss to you
And
Watch your life transform

I am here to support those whom feel guided and resonant with my energy.

My soul has prepared itself for this life as Mary Jo to be a guide through the darkness and light the pathway out for those choosing it.

Still each person will have to walk your path with inner trust and faith for awhile until the light comes over the dawn and then you will understand the greater vision of it all.

You will look back on your life and potentially lifetimes and see the eyes of great wisdom and compassion

You will sense the magnificent of the journey (s) and would never give back the experience of it all for it brought you HERE into self realisation and yet .... never intend to repeat again.

Welcome to the new energy consciousness.

Infinite love and gratitude

Are you awakening to your deeper truths and bigger purpose ?

4/7/2019

0 Comments

The last couple of weeks I am feeling the inner guidance of ' GAME ON '.

Anyone else feeling this ?

This seems to be especially post what transpired in Christchurch with the shocking news of the shootings and the out pouring of so much love and compassion. It is like it has opened up something and there is no holding back anymore; the light and goodness that wants to be shared, honoured, acknowledged and celebrated in all our hearts and outwards to others is growing stronger, more determined and confident.

Thank you CHCH for being a way shower of light to the world !

Many of us on our awakening journeys will recognise 'THE TIME IS NOW ' and 'IT IS TIME TO SHINE' in the light of our most authentic truths and be unapologetic about it ! There is no time to waste in B.S. ( old outdated belief systems and yes Bull Shit too ;) ) land.

In actuality there is 'no time' within the 'zero point field ' of the heart ! Our wee little hearts was the 1st thing to be created in our mothers womb and is the sacred gateway back home to the souls essence.

This has all been building over the last years and here we are in the midst of great storms of change, cleansing and renewal on planet earth. A great evolutionary and grand awakenings of our collective consciousness is unfolded. We are so in the thick of it that is challenging for most people to be able to see the forest for the trees !!!

The 3 choices of Humanity or States of being seem to be along these lines currently.

A. YES bring it on .. green light !!!

B. I am watching from the fence line and staying neural .. !!! May lead to apathy and giving up / feeling powerless.

C. NO not me, I want to go back, I want it the way it was. I like living within the rule box and systems; I won't change and let the past go. I will keep the good fight going.

I was guided just a few days ago to create and upload to Youtube video with a audio section from one of my private clients Quantum Healing Hypnosis ( QHHT ) session that was recorded on March 28th 2019. The part of the session I have uploaded contains some interesting information that I felt would potentially offer some insight to more people awakening trying to make sense of what was happening within oneself and out in the world. On this recording she speaks from her expanded super - consciousness about older and younger souls working together to help awaken humanity, the 3 choices being taken by humanity and a look at a few areas of more darker and lighter energy areas on the planet.

My lovely client Sandra willingly gave her permission to share its contents in the hope that it may be helpful to others. The video is 90mins and completes with one of my favourite short meditations from Rasha from her C.D. " ONENESS " .

In 2019 I am feeling inspired to be even more true to my heart and to what my heart ~ soul knows and to trust that knowing and guidance and allow it to serve whom ever it resonants with and can be helpful for.

Here is the video below or link of that video for when you have some time to relax and soak it up
LINK HERE.

What am I awakening to ?
Trust and acceptance of ones true self. That seems to be the awakening journey; it is simply awakening to the true essence of self beyond all the egoic perceptions and identity trapped within the shadows of experiencing oneself as separate from all else and living in the harsher or lower vibrations of negativity leading to experiences of judgement, fear, isolation, anxieties, distrust and low self esteem trying to pretend otherwise on the surface ( persona ).

Once awakened then it is about living from the true self more and more fully with openness, trust and allowing.

My journey of awakening has flowed more tears and laughter from this body over the last 10 years. Moving from tears of deep raw release and profound realisations simultaneously to big belly laughter at the ridiculousness of believing I was disconnected from my source, feeling powerless and anything less than the goodness of divine love and having access to creative power.

You may be feeling this awakening stirring within your own heart over the last week, months or years. Perhaps you did not have a reference for what the strangeness was that you have been experiencing ?

Awakening can be an intense and uncomfortable thing to the mind and emotions. It invites each person to let go and surrender what was to allow for what is now present. The ego does not want to let go for it feels like a death and in a way it is. It is a death and letting go of what is not for ones highest and best good to allow for what is.

The deeper truth I return to again and again is that ultimately all is well and all is LOVE ... no matter how crazy it may all seem on the outside or uncomfortable to feel on the inside.

It may sound super Cliche I know ! I recall when to read such a thing would have sounded this way to me and yet this is what I re-discovered on my awakening experientially journey.

Now in my more awakened accepting state of Being , it has become known to me that some of the greatest joy of my soul is to serve the awakening of humanity and the expression of the joy of life / creation.

To change out there we gotta change in here within our own minds and hearts via our every thoughts, word, actions which are all energy vibrations and frequencies of communication. Basically we are all like radio stations putting out a signal to the environment around us via the words we think, the intentions we hold, the words we speak and the action we take. For most people all these are happening unconsciously .. that is until we awaken and they all become conscious. Yikes that can feel like a slap in the face because we have to then be willing to let go of being a victim, shaming, blaming others or waiting for others i.e. out of integrity so called leaders and decision makers to lead the way of change or give us our peace of mind back !

That has been the greatest secret that has been kept from us ( humanity ) the power within. So much of life steers us away from trusting ourselves and staying in communication with that natural creative power source within.

Self trust and self acceptance are major players in the awakening ...aka re-rememebering..aka raise your vibrational energy journey.

" as you believe it, it is given onto you " ! :)

If you resonant with my words and they speak to your heart and soul. You may like to subscribe to my Youtube channel :)

I am currently feeling inspired to do some re-vamping and adding new videos over coming days, weeks and months of more collective info coming through my QHHT clients to support the expansion and quickening in the awakening of more of humanity over the coming months and years.

Mary Jo, Steve & the Vibrant Team !

Our Blog is a resource for us at Vibrant Living to share the good news, news; that which supports our human empowerment, V.L. updates and wellness inspirations to seed new possibilities, insights, hope and connections.

Most of all we intend to share the good vibes that enhance living a vibrantly empowered and creative life in body-mind-spirit.

Vibrant Living is our dream vision coming to life and it is our greatest honour and joy to have the capacity to offer our wellness services in our beautiful retreat sanctuary in the alpine village of Hanmer Springs, New Zealand.

We acknowledge we are living in some of the most wondrous and crazy years on planet earth. Years that are proving themselves to be years of great changes, life transitions and transformations. Years that at times will challenge each one of us individually and collectively to dive deeper to the very core of us, with the aim to crack open our hearts, release the past and reveal something new and liberating.

We are each in so many different ways being challenged to review our understandings of life as we thought we knew it; uncover our highest values and core beliefs about ourself and our place, direction and purpose within this life.

However in the midst of the challenges, chaos, stressful living, over whelm, anxieties, daily pressures and shocks to the body-mind-emotional system is a great opportunity to grow in ways beyond anything we have realised. Hence the wellness industry if one of the fasting growing industries on the planet as more and more people want to empower there health, fitness, vitality and general well being.

" When things seem to be falling apart, what if they are actually falling together " .

At Vibrant Living we are here to be of support to those that resonant as a bridge of authentic light; lighting up with care, vibrancy and compassion the opportunities to release the old daily habits and paradigms that does not work anymore or are simply outdated in our modern world that is in fact birthing a new cosmic 26,000 year cycle of energies and vibrations onto our planet earth. There is a much bigger picture to current events and we are each being asked to play our unique and relevant parts.

We are in a new galactic cycle in which humanity is being encouraged to co-create a new template of living that restores personal empowerment, harmonious living, innate abundance and sustainable wellness in body, mind, emotions and spirit.

It is a great paradigm shift and a very rewarding one for those who choose to open to the new possibilities and make heart centred & gut guided choices with trust being redeemed in ones own life guiding source once more to follow ones passions, purpose and joy.

Vibrant Living just happens to be ours and we feel blessed each and every day to embrace this beautiful gift of life and be of divine service to this glorious life we are co-creating.
