JUMP IN

Do not wait for the perfect time to do something you really want to do, because the reality is there may never me a "perfect" time. Take a chance and just DO IT!!

If you told me a year ago that I would have my own web site, my own blog, working on my own PR clients, holding events with over 100 attendants, doing my yoga teacher training and becoming a health coach changing lives all over the world I would of laughed out loud. I guess that’s because I was totally disconnected with my self and my true desires, I was living out of fear and just stuck with the “norm” way of living and making decisions with my head not my heart.

I am a classic dreamer, I am a natural born creative soul and I would come up with amazing ideas out of no where and with in a second BOM they would just be gone as I would just think of it all being “to hard” and a lot of self doubt would creep up.

So what I want to tell you is when you have these sheer moments of creative bliss or a thought to join a new course, to drop every thing and travel or even leave a job you hate with no bake up plan. Listen to your heart it will only guide you to greatness.

It is so easy to stick to your comfort zone but you will never learn a thing. In moments of fear, place your hand on your heart and close your eyes and connect with your intuition.

Ask your self: " What is my heart telling me to do, how do i want to feel?"

My life changed drastically when i stopped saying i would do something and just shut my mouth and did it. Now when i make a commitment i am fully aware of what i want and let the universe run its course to deliver every thing at the most perfect time.

We are all amazing in every single way, our bad days compliment the good days and we are constantly learning in the world so when opportunities arise just JUMP in and trust in your self and the universe that all will work out.

Love + Light,

Nikki.

Benefits of Himalayan Pink Salt

As we say farewell to summer, we reflect on all the incredible moments we had under the sun, getting our daily dose of Vitamin D, being around good heart warming company and enjoying all the beauties of the ocean to cool us down. In Summer I breathe more clearly as the salty ocean breeze fills my lungs with fresh pure air. I also notice that my skin completely clears up and my complexion is smooth and bump free. This is no coincidence this is the beauty of SALT, and I will show you how to keep this feeling all year round!

The Benefits of a Himalayan Salt Lamp:

For my birthday I was lucky enough to receive a Himalayan Crystal Salt lamp. I had heard so much about them and was amazed at hearing some of the incredible health benefits. Place a Himalayan salt lamp in your home is like being at the beach as it draws in the moisture and surrounds you with pure, fresh air. Himalayan salt lamps act as an air ionizer. They increase the amount of beneficial negative ions in the air, counterbalancing the positive ion charge from electrical equipment. Place a Himalayan salt lamp near your computer, TV, radio or any other appliances and reap the following benefits… 

Improves sleep- helps people with insomnia

Has a healing effect on the body

Increases Chi

Boosts serotonin levels 

Eliminates allergens

Supports the immune system

Improves mental alertness

Promotes general well-being

( Warning, on humid days the salt lamp will leak salty water if it is not turned on, I had to learn this the hard way )

Himalayan Salt Lamp + Pink Salt Babe Scrub 

The Benefits of Himalayan Pink Salt Scrub:

During summer I love a good scrub down at the beach, I literally pick up a hand full of sand and scrub my face and body, I can literally feel the salt sink into my skin and it feels fresh already. The only down fall with this little handy tip of mine is that I get weird looks, people think I am crazy, so to save the embracement and get your hands on the Himalayan Pink Salt Scrub from Babe Scrub:  www.babescrub.com . I have been using this scrub all over my body and face and my skin feels smooth and crystal clear. Take a look at the benefits of the Pink Salt Babe Scrub:

Relaxes Muscles

Detoxify and polishes the skin

Evens skin tone

Boosts circulation to remove dead flaky skin, lines, lumps and bumps

High in Vitamin E to help soften the skin

Helps reduce redness and scaring.

So invite summer to stay in your life all year round by investing in these two little beauties, feel fresh, pure, calm, relaxed and SALTY thanks to Himalayan Pink Salt.

MIND BODY STROLL DATE CHANGED - CONNECT WITH INTENTION

To all the gorgeous soul sisters who are joining me for the Mind Body Stroll Event, since the rain, clouds, and wind have joined forces and creating a whole next level storm situation that is totally out of my control, I have had to POSTPONE the event for NEXT Saturday 8^th March 2014- 8.30 Oak Park Cronulla.

Mind Body Stroll is all about YOU, I want YOU to feel comfortable, at peace and relaxed and just after going down to the location it was the opposite of all those things and I do not want to put you through that kind of torture.

As much as I am so disappointed I wont get to see you all tomorrow, I believe that “EVERY thing happens for a reason” and I bet you the universe has this golden plan for all of us on the 8^th of March, it will be Electric, it will be Juicy and it will fill you up with SO much LOVE.

The 3 Pros of having the event postponed till next Saturday:

• You get a Whole Week to join in on the Instagram FUN! Remember to hash tag #MindBodyStroll and @MirrorMyManifest in your photos and you could win some amazing Prizes.

• You have a week to set in your intentions and goals, so next week you can bring them to your yoga mat and start creating and manifesting your true desires.

• You have more time to invite friends and family that perhaps couldn’t make it this Saturday. So keep spreading the word.

To be completely honest with you, this week has been a huge test for me, planning an event with 140 people on my own, along with a sweet little parking fine, package delays and the badly behaved weather, I am sitting here typing this blog post with the biggest smile on my face as I have had the most amazing support from family, friends, business, and people from all over the world who have emailed to show their gratitude. So THANK YOU.

This is me at the MBS Location, such a beautiful spot but SO cold, wet and windy today.

My Intention for Mind Body Stroll Is:

• Create a community of like-minded people
• To encourage women of all ages to live a happy, healthy life through healthy eating and movement
• To show people the beauty of Yoga.
• To Get people to connect with there intuition and to find a safe place to relax

Being busy, and not living in the present moment we forget about our initial intention and after I became aware of my disconnected state I decided to drop ALL control and let whatever will be will be.

So now let me ask you, will you be joining me NEXT Saturday? And What is your Intention for Coming to Mind Body Stroll? 

Love + Light,

How to get to sleep Naturally

As a Health Coach, one of the questions we ask our clients is how many hours of sleep are you getting each night? If the number is low then we know that some things need to change.  It is nearly impossible to function on little to no sleep, our energy levels are low, our motivation is low, and our body and overall health suffers.

I find it so fascinating that people, who struggle to sleep, then fill their bodies with caffeine and sugar to try and squeeze some energy into their bodies so they can function through out the day. Then when it comes to nighttime they are still buzzing from the consumption of all that coffee, chocolate, energy drinks and sugary treats. No wonder they can’t get to sleep.

Natural Solutions to a Good Nights Sleep:

1. Tea Relaxers:

The Complexion Cleanse tea from Queen B Tea is a completely caffeine free and has a special ingredient that will help you get plenty of Zzzzs. The ingredient that I swear by for a good night sleep is Dandelion. It is a natural relaxing plant that not only helps to calm the nervous system but it helps clear skin, and helps your digestion. After drinking this tea I feel completely relaxed, calm and ready for a good nights sleep. This beautiful product will also be in the Mind body Stroll goodie bags!!

Queen B Complexion Tea: $24.00

2. Hot Bath with Lavender Oil:

Lavender is a beautiful way to calm the mind; research has shown that lavender helps lower the heart rate and blood pressure leaving you in a complete and relaxing state. For me after a busy day I like to have a Hot Bath with some natural sea salt to purify the skin. Followed by a few drops of the Jurlique Lavender Essence to create a truly blissful aroma that will leave you floating above the clouds and ready for bed.

Jurlique Tranquil Blend: $26.99

3. Relax into it:

The time before bed is your own time to relax, unwind and be at peace. Getting to that place can be a challenge; I some times will listen to some relaxation music or a beautiful guided mediation for sleep. Remember to breathe and let your mind wander. You can repeat this affirmation in your head to quiet the mind and get you ready for a good night sleep. “ My body is peaceful, pure calm bliss”

Here are a few “DON’Ts” when it comes to getting a good night sleep:

Caffeine Overloads:

Try limiting your self to having 1 coffee in the morning. If you can cut it out all together and replace it with a herbal tea that’s even better. Cutting down on the caffeine can restore your natural energy levels and get you back into a better sleeping routine.

Technology Distractions:

Your bedroom is your special sanctuary for a good night sleep. It should be a relaxing place, no clutter, no mess and NO technology including TV, Radio and your Mobile Phone. Electricity can suppress melatonin production (sleep hormone) so please do your self a favor and put the phone down and turn it all “OFF” “you can read all your friends status updates tomorrow”

Don’t Just Sit there:

Our bodies are full of energy that needs to be burnt up. We spend our time sitting a lot, we need to jump out of the chair and go for a walk, run, or let the energy out at the gym. Storing energy in the body can lead to restless sleeps, as we are simply not tired.  Exercise releases cortisol levels, a stress hormone that will keep you too alert for rest!

Now i hope you are ready for a deep relaxing sleep, aim for 8 hours and reap the benefits of having more energy and feeling great!!

Love + Light,

Nikki.
