My Kahuna training taught me all of our emotions are relevant, they rise up and propel us through a situation, to get the best outcome for ourself... yet we are taught to control our emotions, cap them, perform to an acceptable level, which is to undermine our innate intelligence. I have been on a journey, from being a good little girl, paying attention in school, to growing into a rebellious teenager who had no idea how to fit in, and didn't understand what I was fitting into... and then into being an adult, and becoming completely lost, unhealthy, explosive, and ultimately dishonest... The more we 'try' to behave well, the less we are being ourselves. Regardless of why we have shut down our emotions, the affect is the same, we become unsure of ourselves, and we get ourselves into situations that are not for our best interests, and as our emotions start to scream louder, we learn more ways of learning to shut them down - resilience training is what they are calling it. We are not meant to sit in a dangerous situation, we are meant to move through it, for survival, the problem is we have mentally overpowered our emotions so often that they are now desperate. My Kahuna training was in Universal Principles, not Hawaiian culture or technique, it was about knowing ourselves in our own culture, knowing ourselves at home. The video is of me performing myself within the repetitive movement of Ka'aleleau, a way of getting close to all of the doings that are no longer serving me, and of releasing them when I am ready. This was the basis of my Kahuna Bodywork training... me. And universal principles is, how you 'do' one thing is how you do everything... so when we place controls on one thing, we then need to take in hand everything else, by controlling it we have removed it from being dynamically integrated, as part of our whole, which unsettles everything, and then we have to mentally manage everything to stop it getting out of hand... How do we get out of this? All of the thinking & learning new ways of coping needs to stop, we have done that... and we need to start feeling again... when we feel ourselves without labels, without judgement, we can start respecting who we are, we can start to remember how to trust in ourselves, we need to return our organ systems to functioning harmoniously... muscles and bones working together... bones for strength, which is the complete opposite of what is happening in the world today. This podcast is about emotions, and I talk of anger, and I talk from a place of having been so explosively angry/miserable/happy/sad, completely shut down, as well as being so unhinged from running out of energy to be in control of all the things I was unnecessarily controlling... and being so sick, and so messed up... I touch on parenting, and on being a child, on the rigidity we create within us, which creates the above. https://www.maiawellbeing.blog/links - join the email list here https://www.maiawellbeing.blog/checkout-fgh start your adventure into knowing yourself with the Functional Gut Health online course here.

I'm on the beach at Yeppoon, the sound is a bit dodgy... the waves are in the background, and the dogs are running a wonderful adventure around my ankles... My feeling of the breath is that Your breath should be complete, thoughtless and Unique to you. Your nervous system directs your breath to ensure it will meet the needs of keeping your internal environment (physical self) safe in the present moment, and readies you for that which is coming. Your innate intelligence informs your nervous system of what is coming for you in your external environment. I think the reason we hear people say our physical aspect is slow, the physical 3D world is mundane, the physical is lowest vibration, is because we are trying to control it with our mind... and our mind is not designed to drive this high performance vehicle!

My adventures through life have taken me down the road to honour equality, which is far from where I started and the world into which I was born. "Do not be in awe" was my greatest lesson, and my 2 chosen teachers have got to the point of telling me I cannot ask questions anymore... they no longer had anything to teach me. What saddens me, is that working together as equals, as I was learning from them, we could have expanded our reach, and kept evolving... But, after a few years of reflecting on the integrity of what I have been taught, I was shown that I need to speak up, I was given a microphone, and I didn't listen, and it was uncomfortable... but I got through, and in less than 2 days I had figured out my lesson. When I woke this morning, I spoke into my voice recorder, sleepy, probably poor sound, but it is there... then the girls and I went to the beach, to remember the hula that was part of my Kahuna training... and we flew, ka'aleleau - the flight of the navigator as the sun came up. Honest expression is so important... it is not calm, controlled or scripted... it is responsive, and it is freedom. Being present, responding... learning to accept what you hear... in the beginning our freedom will be erratic, and it will fluctuate on a scale of decency... but that is just another thing for you to respond to... apologise if necessary but own your emotions. Your emotions are for you, do not lay them on anyone else, in anyway... so catch yourself doing this, and claim it, apologise, do not beat yourself up. Next time it will be smoother as you stop capping your expression.

Maia Movement is about what you can feel, physically feel, the physical being the home of your emotions, mind & spirit. What you can feel is your point of change... Universal principle is what I was trained in, and whilst this talk focuses on the effect hair removal has on your physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual, it can also be an understanding for what happens when we clear the land... once you can feel yourself, how what you do affects your being, you can feel nature and how what we do affects mother earth. Thoughtlessness – Maia Well Being www.maia-movement.teachable.com is my online course access, this is a drama free, self responsible way of being human.
Your breath is your unique expression of universal energy, and it is directed by your nervous system (The Stress Response) to fulfill your needs. The complete & natural breath is available to each of us when we stop directing or judging our breath (stop trying to improve on nature!!!). We are getting closer to embodying presence through self acceptance!
The physical aspect of your stress response, the sympathetic nervous system response... the wonder of your human technology as perfect, although a little out of balance, becoming a perpetuating cycle. The feeling of the physical response brings awareness of earth force, gravity & your breath. I get a little more wordy in my blog Your Stress Response – Maia Well Being
This week in the Maia Movement in Motion online community we are exploring how our belly is moved by our breath.

This audio is from the Maia Movement in Motion - online community We meet live via zoom twice weekly, or you can check out the videos and files at anytime that suits you, access in the portal. The aim of this community is to offer company, and a safe space to explore yourself, as you let go of the past, any stories attached, any identities you may have been living under. As we discover the subconscious muscle tension that create our vibration, and energise our experiences, we are able to release these safely, without creating new tensions through the doings of fixing ourselves. As we are adventuring through our own variables that have shaped us, we each have a beautifully unique discovery that no labels can contain, no grouping will be able to accommodate. You will remember what it is to be your I am. Youniquely you...

When you have learnt to move within your range of motion, you know what quantum physics is, you have felt your zero point & your toroidal field is stable... you get through your days without exhaustion, and without draining your energy. No one can make you feel better or worse... they can help you learn more about yourself! I write in more detail in my blog... https://maiawellbeing.blog/2022/11/27/range-of-motion/ And you can learn to feel the detail in 'Feeling the Space of Emptiness', my online course... https://maia-movement.teachable.com
Welcome to week 1 of your 7 week Maia Movement course. Maia Movement is the physicality of being human, it is the discovery of what you can stop doing? All doings require energy, and when you release the muscular habits of a lifetime, or an ancestral line, you free your energy, and open up your innate intelligence, all while becoming your authentic & unique expression of universal energy. My focus is on your physical self, the home of your emotional, psychological & spiritual selves, and the realization that each of these labels is the one and the same You! As your experiences in life can shape your physical, as seen in posture & looks, the physical posturing held in place by habitual muscle tension energises your emotions, thoughts and spirit. Simply, while your body is locked in muscular tension, your energy will follow... so we are going to be observing our being, feeling our doing's (habitual muscular tension)... and getting very logical with out skeleton & muscular system. We will stay grounded in the present by observation of our breath. Observation is free from judgement (of what you have, created in the past) and free of expectations (what you should be doing, or based in the future). In this audio I keep it really simple, as I guide you through finding habitual muscular tension. You will be in a position of safety, and you will stay grounded, in the present, meaning the energies attached to muscular tensions will release in a safe way, as you are ready. Embodying presence is physical alignment, without the drama of highs & lows in energy, without the tight muscles attached to past experiences, the memories will soften. You being your complete & natural breath, effortless strength and balanced energy; your mind will be free for creative adventures. This audio is accompanied by the week one tutorial videos on teachable I have a group for students on facebook If you prefer UNIFYD Or Telegram
Maia Movement is the exploration of yourself as a being of your creation, the result of choices made whilst here, and whilst in spirit. The physical being, 12 organ systems, needs to be dynamically integrated to function well... There needs to be dynamic integration of the physical-emotional-psychological-spiritual aspects... our physical is created by our energetic aspects, and our physical empowers our energetic aspects. The Earth force & gravity is where we live, and we need to be dynamically integrated with these. We become our own expert, when we know ourselves we know the universe. When we know the universe, we know the truth when we hear it. https://youtu.be/LS7pzZLfS28 is a video of me talking... www.maia-movement.teachable.com is my online course 'Feeling the Space of Emptiness' www.maiawellbeing.blog for writing...
In the following episodes I attempt to offer intellectual understanding of our human experience, and the knowing that is within us all. The physicality of our humanness shaped by & shaping our emotional, psychological & spiritual experiences & memories.
