These are pivotal years we are living through. Intense, overwhelming at times and holds incredibly liberating potentials for our evolving humanity.

I invite you to take the good deep breathe, as life may have seemed extra intense and over whelming at times for you over the last few months and possibly even years. You may or someones close to you may have experienced unexpected challenges, loses or big health issues. Let me assure you that you are not alone and these years are pivotal years on our mother earth. Hence why more and more people are escaping to a place like Hanmer Springs to unwind, relax, soak in the hot pools, book a massage, discover the benefits of yoga, get physically active and get into nature to restore balance, peacefulness , contentment and harmony.
It a strange thing that these life challenges that can lead to excessive stress and even a crisis point or over whelming worries and anxieties, can all to often be what it takes for many people to finally give themselves the permission slip to surrender to the idea that says ' it is really ok to invest in me and take a few days away to relax, slow down and rejuvenate or perhaps even book that round the world travel dream trip .
Life is too short to not to smell the roses once in a while :-) !
Because . . .
I am worth it, my health is worth it, my peace and calm is worth it ! ! !
" The most important decision you will ever make is if the universe is a friendly place or a hostile place " Albert Einstein
At Vibrant Living it is our great joy to share our beautiful location and services in Hanmer Spring. We love to support our guests to unwind, relax, restore calm and reconnect with a grateful open heart to the many blessings of life. It may seem so simply and yet it is all so profound and wonderful in todays world that may convince one to think life is a domes day movie. Not at Vibrant Living thats for sure, we are part of the new paradigm emerging that moves from passionate, caring hearts and creative minds. We are intend on being orientated to the solutions rather than the problems.
" you can't solve a problem from the same level of thinking that created the problem " Einstein ( scientist / philosopher )
Our ethos here is about daily practices that align us to personal empowerment, vibrant health and well being and with that comes personal self responsibility for what we focus our thoughts, words and deeds on. " give onto others what we would like given onto us " It is not about trying to be perfect, in fact it is more about embracing all that makes up being a spiritual being having a human imperfect experience. It is about being our authentic true selves not needing to pretend we are something more or less than what we naturally are. It actually takes a lot of energy to keep up a unauthentic appearance, to hide behind a persona, to wear many hats and be many things to many people. It is stressing people out big time because it is a lot of hiding behind lie's. Having the courage to be vulnerable and admit our failures, fears, faults, imperfections etc is actually liberating. The funny thing is when we humans share in more authentic ways we usually discover we are more alike than different, we have the same kind of inner critical mind, the same kind of worries and insecurities, we have hopes and dreams and generally want to feel fulfilled, valued and content.
The old paradigm values was to work hard to survive; to take care of others at the expense of your self ; to put your health in the doctors hands, intellect in the teachers and spirituality in the church or some other establishment / organisation. That is some of the reasons the wellness industry is a growing billion dollar industry. More and more people are deciding to take the leap and invest there resources of time, money and energy into discovering the 'how to's' and daily practices to take back empowerment over ones own health vitality, emotional intelligence, mental clarity and spiritual connectedness. Sure people will still attend churches and visit doctors etc They will continue to have there valuable place, however the chances are it will have to resonant more with peoples hearts and intelligence and have a more holistic inclusive approach. Be an uplifting complimentary experience that adds to ones vitality and confidence and not deplete it.
" change the way you look at something and the thing you look at changes "
