Often referred to as the healing nerve, the Vagus Nerve is involved in vital aspects of our overall wellbeing, mental health and physiology of the body; it relaxes and calms our system.Derived from Latin, vagus - meaning wandering - it is a rather appropriate description as the Vagus Nerve constitutes the longest cranial nerve, extending from the head (via neck, heart, lungs) to the abdomen, thus innervating there areas and enabling communication to and from the brain.The Vagus Nerve carries a number of important functions, contributing to the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS), specifically its parasympathetic division. What is the role of the ANS?The ANS regulates the activities of our internal organs (...

What is your daily water intake like?I pose this question to every new client and regularly check in with my existing clients to keep hydration at front of mind. With the body being made up of ~70% water, water carries a number of vital functions in the body, to name a few, it:Protects our organs and tissuesLubricates and keeps our joints healthyRegulates body temperatureDissolves nutrients and makes them accessible to bodyCarries nutrients and oxygen to the cellsAids digestion and bowel movementFlushes waste or toxins from the body (and therefore supports kidney/liver function)Supports brain function and keeps us mentally sharp and switched on.If we get too low on water, thirst is one ...

Are you looking forward or back?We are over ¾ quarters through 2020 and oh what a year it has been so far – life as we knew it has been literally put up-side-down. There were times where I truly didn’t know where I was at and in which direction I should be looking, let alone be taking.It’s easy to get stuck in the past and the ‘what if’s - while this is not necessarily desirable, I believe looking back and reflecting on what has been, can be beneficial. I find it brings me a lot of clarity to sit down, grab a few blank pieces of ...

The scent of spring is in the air – coupled with the recent stunning sunny weather, I felt inspired to take a closer look at my attitude to life and be more mindful of how I approach each day.I work with flower essences on a regular basis, in the clinic with my clients, and also on a personal level – they always reveal incredible messages and teach us a lot about ourselves. The products by Hanako Therapies form an integral part of my kinesiology treatments (I am also a proud stockist.)For September, I selected the Lavender Flower Essence as it serves as a wonderful reminder to:Kick up our heels every now and ...

How do you nurture yourself?I took this photo last year in Sri Lanka where I stayed at a boutique hotel (The Secret Ella) on top of a mountain – it was pure bliss & relaxation. Of course, this is the definition of a holiday, right? When being away from home, I find it easy to switch off and look after myself. Doing so, when in the midst of life, managing the day-to-day, well, that’s a different story - can you relate?Recently, I've experienced some physical challenges including joint issues which prevented me to go about things in the usual way. It is never pleasant to be in pain and to ...

June has been a month of memorable milestones and key events, prompting me to pause and take time to reflect and also, to celebrate – honouring our achievements no matter how big or small is so important yet it still doesn’t come easily to me. Do you feel the same?On 19 June I celebrated a special day – 5 years of Complete Being Kinesiology. I clearly recall how I registered the business name, sitting at my mum’s kitchen table (in Germany) and feeling slightly nervous when hitting the submit button - and here we are, 5 marvellous years later. I had a quiet celebratory drink at home and marked the occasion by sharing ...

There are many ways to support and boost the immune system - activating the thymus gland can be another helpful technique to support your health and vitality, especially when your immune system is down and/or you feel stressed. What is the Thymus Gland?Located behind the upper part of your chest bone (you may be able to feel a tiny bump in the sternum bone right over it), the thymus gland is one of our endocrine glands. It is involved in the lymphatic system, the body's defence network, and closely associated with the immune system.Essentially, the thymus produces and ‘trains’ immune cells to help fight infections and protect the ...

This is a simple yet effective calming technique that I recommend to my clients when they feel overwhelmed, worried or anxious. It’s a wonderful way to settle yourself and re-connect to your centre, bringing presence and more clarity.Let's get started:Stand, sit or lie down comfortablyPlace one palm on your forehead - this will bring blood flow to the front (rational) part of your brain (your pre-frontal cortex), away from the back of your head (limbic system) where survival emotions are being triggeredPlace the other hand on your upper chest, resting it gently on your chest bone – this accesses the acupressure point Sea of Tranquility - as the name suggests, ...

How do we stay anchored in unsettling times like we’re experiencing right now?Essential oils are a wonderful wellness strategy and support for our wellbeing. Grounding blends are one of my go-to oils - they strengthen our connection to the earth, helping us to stay present, stable & connected. They also connect us to our inner strength so we can achieve our goals & manifest our vision - with the patience of a tree.There is a lot going on at the moment, worldwide and in Australia – of course, we need to stay informed & realistic, yet it is equally important to stay calm, clear & sensible by focusing on what we ...

Do you live your days from a viewpoint of abundance or one of lack or scarcity?It can be easy to get drawn into negative thoughts and attitudes, perhaps prompted by a particular incident at work, or, especially of late, by watching the news and hearing about the fires and the environmental challenges. Such events can deeply influence us, and we can, often unconsciously, get stuck in a space of negativity, low spirit and even anxiety, which can be tricky to find a way out of.A mindset of scarcity or gloom can affect our mood, motivation and energy. It may also influence our relationships, our performance at work or our drive to accomplish what ...

For as long as I can remember a part of me wanted to meditate, intuitively sensing that the practice of meditation would do wonders for me – physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.Why may you ask? My German upbringing was ingrained with a cultural norm to continually strive for more; I always had a tendency to work too much and felt lost when I was asked to relax. Kinesiology gradually helped me release some of my rigidity and rewire myself and my brain - accepting that ‘doing nothing’, can indeed be one of the greatest achievements (a.k.a. enjoyment), cultivating creative ideas and solutions.Thus, concepts such as slowing down, finding balance, ...

Change as they say, is inevitable - regardless of how big or small, there always seems to be a certain level of discomfort that comes along with it.Not surprising really - the reality is, any type of change takes us out of our comfort zone, especially changes we don’t initiate! They can have quite an effect on us and can be, in my view, like a double-edged sword: on one side they bring up various survival emotions such as panic, fear, anger or a plain freeze state coupled with feeling a loss of control; on the other side, they present us with an opportunity to step back, detach, evaluate and see things ...

I love this photo. I love how the wooden pathway makes a beeline for the water. I feel like I can walk right to the edge and just dive in.And that’s what I did! I have just returned from spending three weeks in Sri Lanka, a holiday I have been planning (and dreaming about) for three years. And it was everything I expected and more. It was time to tour an exotic country, with a beautiful blend of adventure, and fun with relaxation and rejuvenation.I think one of the wonderful things from travel is to gain a new perspective on life; there is nothing like stepping away from your real world ...

New season, new flag – nestling in the Inner Balance Wellness Centre’s luscious garden, shining brightly against the stunning Australian sky and, marking a special occasion. Exactly 4 years ago I’ve registered my business name and officially started the journey of Complete Being Kinesiology.That’s 4 marvellous years of creating, discovering, learning, growing & expanding, culminating in my new brand & website launch just over 12 months ago.

There are many moments, experiences and challenges I am grateful for, importantly, I would not be celebrating this milestone if it wasn’t for all the support, trust ...
