Own your shit, the way to happiness...

Shanti Kate 78 Blog Spot Own your shit, the way to happiness... After a 10 day residential, transformational teacher training I received some positive feedback… “I love how you own your shit” I feel to share my insights from my own personal experience and transformation over the 10 days and years of practice (and continuing practice)…. Nobody can burst your bubble of bliss but they can trigger your response system which can adjust your feeling of natural bliss and guess what, you have the power to become aware of these responses…..judgments, anger, sadness, inner conflict and general mind projections can all be changed. This is taking responsibly (owning your shit) .…the ability to respond. The mind is an amazing part of the human physiology, over the years of early development its filtration systems form and depending on different eco-factors (environment, family, society, schooling, friends) you will have a unique response system (possibly reaction system) as an adult. Everyone’s internal body mind mapping is different; the mind filters, categorises and sends information to the body creating an emotional response and thus a response or reaction. The great news is if your eco-factors could have been improved as a child and your filtration system could be better as an adult you have the choice to become aware and change it. You can choose happiness through becoming aware of your thoughts, your emotional system and your behaviour. Next time some information from the outer world rocks your inner world and you feel off centre, not in your natural state of bliss and contentment bring some awareness to the feelings you are experiencing, take a look your behaviour and examine your thoughts. Sit alone for a while, breath into your heart and ask yourself “is it true what I am thinking, how is what I am thinking making me feel, how am I behaving and do I have the choice to change?” Examine what your mind is filtering and projecting, breathe into the heart and ask “if I saw this situation from the heart how would it look & feel, how would I behave & what would I be saying”. Keep breathing and keep moving down into the heart space, know that the world can be experienced and perceived from here. The aim is to realign the body mind back to a natural state of happiness, bliss, contentment. If you are feeling off centre know that the body mind is letting you know it is time to retreat inwards to become aware and re-balance. Keep practicing coming back to the breath and heart, over time you will begin to notice that things that once triggered your system no longer do. You are slowly resetting your body mind programming (neuro-linguistic- programming, NLP) where it is needed. The breath and awareness are powerful tools for you to take responsibility for your happiness, well-being and sanity. It is up to you to use them J

Super Green, Super Refreshing Smoothie...

Shanti Kate 78 Blog Super Green Smoothie Yesterday I tried this super green smoothie that I found online as part of a winter detox, personally I will use it as a healthy booster. It’s really tasty with all the flavours coming through it is very refreshing & pretty pulpy. I halved the recipe for an extra-large smoothie, I found that blending all the ingredients together except the spinach is easier, then adding the spinach to the mix and blend. Ginger-Mint Pear Smoothie Makes 3 cups / 700ml Ingredients (all organic if possible): 2 pears 1 avocado, flesh scooped out 1½ cups / 35g firmly packed baby spinach 1 cup / 250 ml water 2 tsp. minced ginger 1 ½ Tbsp. freshly-squeezed lemon juice 10-20 mint leaves (to your taste) Directions: 1. Place all ingredients except the spinach in a blender, blend until smooth, then add the spinach, again blending until smooth. Enjoy!

Moving from fear to balance…

Shanti Kate 78 Blog   The last two weeks have been very calm and peaceful, prior to this although I was happy and positive fear was driving me. The fear of lack was creating panic and a lot of adrenaline to get me up working morning, noon and night was rushing through the system. I felt I was aligned and working well but having stopped for the last Biodanza training weekend I came to realise my body is exhausted from tension, stress and adrenaline. This morning my body aches and I have a headache, I feel it will take some time for the body to recover from over use of the adrenal glands, hyper tension and stress over years of allowing this to happen. I know a physical shift and a negative mental belief has shifted so I will not default to the panic and adrenal setting which is the usual case. Sometimes life or the experience of it has become truly painful until I really listen, wake up and make the changes! Transforming base metal (fear) to gold (love). Biodanza, Ars Magna. (the magnificent art 23rd– 25th Jan 2015)….. FEAR; Fear has been living my life, making the decisions. Fear of lack, fear of not being good enough, fear of time, fear of human beings, it has been running me, a stress that has run through my blood and seeped into my bones. If fear is the sting, then love is the balm. LOVE; Love is not something that can be obtained, love is something that is to be experienced, to run through the body as life, Love is Life, Life is Love. Fear is the guard, the padlock. Recognising and welcoming the fear to transform it with the surrender to love. From base metal (fear) to gold (love), it is through the dance, the group, the music, and the movement that love can begin its transformation. www.facebook.com/lovebiodanza

Lifestyle and stress

Shanti Kate 78 Blog Starting to wake up and question my lifestyle after the last Biodanza training weekend, realising I live with high levels of stress in my body when I work, even when I am feeling positive a certain level of tension, fear and stress are driving me. According to Pathologist Arthur Jores (1901 -1982 Germany ) there are 2000 diseases common in humans, 1500 of which are due to lifestyle. Learning to find a balance is a challenge, but is key to feeling happy and healthy. Biodanza lowers stress levels and helps to regulate the body, dancing on a weekly basis can contribute towards raising happiness and bringing a sense of peace.

Celebrity Big Brother, the fascinating social experiment.

Shanti Kate 78 Blog... I watched celebrity big brother last night, lots of conflict, abusive behaviour towards one another which apparently makes goods viewing because let’s face it if everyone got on in peace and harmony there would really be nothing to watch according to the mind. As I watch people tearing each other apart & colluding my mind starts to make judgments about others behaviour, likes, dis-likes, “ooo that woman is poison”. I sit there both fascinated and saddened by the human interaction & conflict. I feel sad that it is a challenge for a group of people to be put in a somewhat unnatural environment without their usual human comforts for a short space of time and actually get on. People operating from personality, from their model of the world, their beliefs and values so strong that they cannot accept the others. Operating from a place of conflict & not being able to see one another. I fantasies about getting them dancing Biodanza together, removing their daily masks and body amour to have a real meeting with a human being who has a different view of the world, connecting through the heart through the universal language of music & movement. Questions start to arise in me…..Has humanity/society got so individualised, so separated, so isolated and neurotic that living closely with each other is impossible? How has it become that a group of people have become so attached to their values that they cannot accept another’s, even for a short period of time? Now don’t get me wrong I am not saying I have this all sussed and sorted myself, I have lived in communities and shared houses my whole life and I still struggle to find peace within myself whilst doing so but it is getting easier over the years as I keep questioning myself, my thoughts and my behaviour. Overall I did enjoy big brother as I find human behaviour a fascinating subject. Comments and conversation welcome below...

Blog, News & Events

Shanti's Blog, News & Events.... Hello Life Lovers, Belated Solstice Blessing. Wow I can't believe its only been a month since my last blog, it feels like so much has happened, so many twists and turns. I feel as the though the initial excitement of my new venture dwindle a little, challenges came my way & the universe is asking is this what you really want? The conclusion...yes, yes it is, with some re-evaluation and adjustment of the vision I continue happily, stronger and a little more mature than when I set off. I feel very blessed with all the creative friends who are coming into my work life to work alongside, support and learn from.

In this group we will experiment with expanding how we move and express ourselves onstage which reflects in our daily lives. With the support of the group we will look at what stops us from going beyond our limits and learn to accept and love ourselves in the process of finding our freedom. We all have judgements about ourselves, especially our bodies, our voices and how we move and relate when we are in front of people under the spotlight. With the support of the group, we will learn to trust and accept who we are. From this space, creativity comes naturally, and we start to love ourselves and open our hearts. And so in our daily lives we become more empowered, confident and relaxed to be the stars that we really are. Date: 17 Jan 2014, start time 18:00 Cost: £ 160.00 /  Food & dorm incl.
