Was just introduced to the this 10 minute guided meditation by Milk & Honey mental health (on YouTube) and thought that you may appreciate it. It begins with a visualisation of a river and reframes thoughts as leaves that we observe and let go. I found it helpful to quiet a busy mind and encourage calm. Also, If you have any resources you would like to share, please do! https://youtu.be/exLaebgFO_8?si=zgNatcL1AhGvZc8E

Happy to announce that we are adding co-working sessions to the community. If you are working from home and struggling to stay focused, need accountability or a bit of body doubling to get things done, join in. We start with a quick check-in, then settle into 50 minutes of focused work time. Cameras on is recommended, mics muted. We are starting small with limited times, but am happy to expand with interest - let me know some times that you would like! The idea for coworking came from @Freddi Saleeba & @Maria Phillips, they regularly catch up for sessions and wanted to extend it out. We figured that this would be a good space for it :)

I am a new member here and looking forward to watching this space grow. I live in Noosaville on the Sunshine Coast, I am a truck driver by day and a passionate mental health ambassador all the time. I have had an interesting journey to my current status of self connection, it took a lot of work and a lot of pain to get here but heres the short version of my journey. I loved football (soccer), watching it, playing it, talking about it and then one day at 15 that stopped. The passion died overnight. Over the next few months I found myself losing friends, isolating myself and becoming disinterested in everything. My grades slipped and I ultimately was fully disconnected. My mum took me to the doctors and I was diagnosed with depression with suicidal tendencies. 2 options... Medication or Therapy. I chose the latter. Thats where the journey starts. I noticed patterns, I'd fall in the dark hole everytime I achieved something. Finishing School, Achieving a career milestone, getting engaged, getting married, building a house, finishing uni. These big milestones felt like a journey up a mountain only for me to jump off back into the dark hole. I needed something to focus on, to stay busy and aligned, and when my marriage ended, partly because of my own mental health challenges 15 years after being diagnosed my world crumbled, well it completely collapsed. That's where my self-healing journey started. 2 books, 1 epic adventure and reconnecting with myself, others and my purpose. Im here to grow, learn and connect. Peace and Love Arthur

Just a quick post highlighting who we are and what this community is aiming to do: Simply put, we are looking for self-connection, together. We are a community exploring meditation, visualization, and inner work. Blending science, spirituality, and lived experience. We are here for conversations and connection on like minded topics, a space to support each other and share resources. Today, I had to ban a member for blatant (and off topic) self promotion, along with DM spam. Thank you for those who reported (click the three dots on top of a post and click report to admin). I want to find a balance between keeping the community focused, whilst also allowing for exploration, evolution and connection. I need your input and help on this to navigate the line! Basically if you have created something, or want support creating something, that is fine, provided that it is offered in a way that isn't just blatant self-promo and aligns with the overall purpose of the group - indeed if it is aligned we want you to share it! Also, we are doing a Art of Self-Connection podcast where we will be exploring different group members in depth. This is a great way to really dive into and share what you are working on and offering etc - DM me if you would like to be interviewed!
