Silent Retreats - Meditation - Yoga - Ayurveda Therapies - Cacao Ceremonies

www.heartawakening.org Radha is a yogini, meditator and lover of life.

After living immersed in an authentic yoga community for over five years and sitting regular silent meditation retreats of 10 and 17 days, she was able to experience a profound transformation which redirected the whole course of her life. In the years that followed, she deepened further her practice of meditation, mindfulness and Yoga as a way of life and since early 2015 she has been sharing silent retreats, yoga classes and meditation courses internationally. In late 2016 Radha moved to New Zealand which is now her home base yet her offerings are available not only locally (n Hawkes Bay) but also internationally during her travels and anytime online.

A Day in the Heart ~ one day silent meditation retreat is coming to the gorgeous Sanctuary Hill Yoga Retreat on Saturday, 17th October.

An opportunity to drop everything for a day and unwind with simple but profound meditation and yoga practice.

I love sharing with the Taranaki community 🤍

+ A couple of last-minute spaces are open if you feel the call! Get in touch for the details

Ayurvedic bodywork is nothing fancy. I see people being a bit intimidated around it, thinking it must be a luxury few can afford.
In fact, it is very simple, and yet an incredible investment in one's longevity, rather than a treat to grt done once and tick off the wellness list.

Ayurvedic treatments are part of a holistic health plan as a way to address what's missing in your system and deliver it gently and gradually, one session at a time in order to make a lasting difference.

Most treatments are things you can actually do on your own at home - oiling, dry scrubbing, gentle massage. Yes, when performed by a therapist, you can focus simply on receiving and get a lot out of the self-care ritual.

But repetition is a key! And I can see the progress in returning clients.
Which is why I encourage bookings of more than one treatment with a discount - 10% off for 2 treatments, 15% for 3, and 20% off for 4 treatments booked at once.

Treatments are offered in Whanganui and Hastings - message or comment to enquire

September was a quiet delight.
It somehow slipped away in between lots of clearing, cleansing, and renewal on the outside and in (including almost no time in this media).

I spent most of it at home, tending to my home and garden, and preparing the soil for this year's seeds.
The same happened inside the spring cleanse program, which I followed along with the participants.
I certainly feel that the ground of my body is healthier, and my mind clearer.

Here is a small collection of photos, mostly taken by the lovely people inside the Re-awaken cleanse program.

If you're interested in a one-on-one consultation and a personalised cleanse with herbs slecifically tailoredto you (and provided within NZ), I have a few spaces available to take your through it from mid-October, and it's a great time to do it while it's still spring! 🌸

And it's a wrap... the 6-day spring silent retreat was just as beautiful as it could be 🌸
Both because of the blossoms on the trees and the blossoming within.

And absolute joy & honour to practice with a group of beautiful humans, from all walks of life, all different backgrounds, same Heart 🤍

I am beyond grateful that sharing my love for the practice of meditation can benefit others and serve as an inspiration on their path.
And I am so honoured to be calling this my "work." Even after more than a decade of holding such spaces, I still need to pinch myself sometimes!

Many ask me if I feel tired after teaching all day for multiple days in a row, and the truth is - I actually feel very rejuvenated at the end of silent retreats.
Which shows how just being in one place, doing one thing, with focus and no screens - and, of course multiple hours of practice daily - is the recipe for sanity, at least in my world.

If a break & an immersion into meditation is on your radar - check out the January 4-day retreats or March 6-day retreat next year, they're now both open for bookings!

It is Gaņeśa caturthī, the appearance day, or birthday of Lord Ganesha, the one with one tusk and a curved trunk. 🐘
He is the personification (or archetype) of wisdom and auspicious new beginnings in the Indo-Vedic culture.
He is the one evoked at the start of any spiritual practice and also the one placed at gates and entryways.

I have a soft spot for Gaņeśa, as he was the first deity/ archetype I really connected to. And no surprise here - it is through him that the gateways open to the Divine Mother, or to Șiva, or to any other deity. It is where the journey begins, and the solid ground that supports the journey.

Th celebration of Ganesha takes place over the next 10 days, and this might be your chance to contemplate where in your life wisdom, sweetness, or stability can be enhanced in order to remove any obstacles on your path.

Gaņeśa is also the ruler of Muladhara cakra and resides at the base of the spine. He is vitality and endurance, the strength of an elephant.
And, of course so, since we all need good vitality in order to cultivate and enhance all other energy layers - He is the doorway and the foundation.

Om Gaņ Gaņapataye Namaha 🐘
May your path be blessed by his protection and support 🙏

You have to try each of these two types of cacao individually if you haven't yet ~ they are my faves.

But you might also want to try them together 🫢🤪 and see how amazing the mix is!!! (you can thank me later)

Plus a special gift for all bundles ordered between now and 27th May: a bag of premium quality peeled cacao beans 🫘
