Press Pause Podcast

Self Care is all about investing into you. This takes so many forms and has so many benefits. 

Whether you do this in your health by eating what nourishes your body, or investing some money into educating yourself, or as simple as listening to a podcast to gain more insight and awareness, the options are endless. 

How have you invested into yourself this month, this week, and today?

It makes life more fulfilling and enables us to be the best versions of ourselves. As we always like to highlight, keep it simple and make sure you are investing into yourself in some way each week to continue the growth and evolution you deserve!

Today we felt it was important to speak on the awareness of EMF, known as Electric Magnetic Fields.

Electric and magnetic fields are invisible lines of force present in the natural environment and wherever electricity flows. They are produced by voltage or electric charge. The higher the voltage, the greater the electric field.

A lamp cord that is plugged in produces an electric field even if the lamp is not on.

The electromagnetic spectrum covers a wide range of frequencies. Electrical current associated with power lines and household appliances is characterised by extremely low frequencies. Magnetic fields, on the other hand, are not easily blocked and can pass through most objects.

We currently live in a soup of EMF's and it has increased over the past few years. We are now transitioning into a 5G world and it's hard to even understand what this means. When the world moved from 3G to 4G, it wasn't as big of a shift as to when it moved from 4G to 5G. Now that we are moving into 5G and witnessing huge 5G towers everywhere, it's important to expand our awareness as we can not see this field which is why we feel it's important to speak about it and also do your own research to educate yourself to know, the strength of a magnetic field decreases rapidly with increased distance from its source. From this understanding we can create safer environments to coexist with it. Especially because it's not going anywhere and we are surrounded by it every single day. 

Join us as we chat about many ways to create a healthier and safer lifestyle with Electric Magnetic Fields and how to maintain that balance.

We also talk about a wonderful company call Life Energy Solutions that create great tools to have in your home, on your phone or on your body to harmonically balance these fields.

What would the world look like if you were able to show up as the most authentic version of you? What does the process look like for to be able to drown out expectation, influence and insecurity, and tune into your true intuitive sense of self and present that to the world in any situation, environment or circumstance?

This is definitely not an easy task and can take a lifetime to grasp depending on what you have experienced growing up, what support you may or may not have had, and the level of growth and personal development you are exposed to.

In todays episode we discuss the importance of why being the most authentic version of you is so important, and what are some simple practices you can adopt along the way to feel more connected to who you truly are. No matter what energies, people or situations you may be exposed to.

Join us as we continue to expand our awareness into these areas of self care that are intuitively so vital to how we experience life and the world around us.

Have you ever wondered what Homeopathy is all about? Maybe you have tried it but not totally understanding how it works, is it 100% safe and what it can be used for.

Today we have a new guest speaker Alice Kleinsman who chats to us all about Homeopathy and her journey as a practitioner.

Alice completed a Bachelor of Science in biochemistry, maths, and psychology before she trained as a teacher. She has taught in many different places in the world, and values how the different perspectives each culture she has been a part of contribute to a world of colour and richness.

With such diverse knowledge in the health & wellness industry, Alice really helps listeners to understand the history of Homeopathy, whats involved with making a remedy and a deeper insight into how it works and why it is such a safe therapy to use on all ages. 

Alice has had many amazing first hand experiences of this process in her own life – caring for herself and others. It is also an amazing tool to have when you have a young family, as you can build up your own resources easily and very affordably.

We came away with so much more understanding, even though we both use homeopathy for ourselves and our families. There are some great takeaways to help you get started and Alice is always available via her website below for more questions if you have them.

What is the world around you telling you?

Do you think you are sepaerate from situations or circumstance? Do you feel you, your thoughts, vibration and actions have a part to play in the outcomes all around you?

Today we talk around the powerful subject of seeing the world as we are. The world being a reflection of us and how to use the reflection as a way to reflect back, the most important life lessons or opportunities our experiences are trying to teach us.

Do you consider yourself to be forgetful? Is this something that you feel is an area that you would like to have some useful tools to have on hand to remember all the little (or big) things that this busy life seems to demand?

On today's episode we discuss the common trait of forgetfulness. It may be when you are starting a new self-care practice and then somehow get to the end of the day you realise that you have forgetten to do what you said you would, or remembering all the parts of the moving wheel each day that can just feel overwhelming. 

We totally get it and can relate, so we wanted to bring a closer awareness to why we forget, and offer you some tools and resources to help you be more organised with some simple effective ways to overcome forgetfulness.

Like anything it takes some commitment to make some changes but we know that small simple things can really help the bigger picture.

One of the resources we mention is Asana. A free app you can download to braindump and organise your day, week and month. https://asana.com/

What is your relationship with age?

In today's episode we visit the mindset and perspective that we tend to have with age, and we challenge you to ask yourself, does your age hold you back? Do you feel old before you've even reached half your life span? Do you limit yourself just because other people in your age bracket may not do something you have a true passion for?

We can easily let age define us and also create unhealthy expectations around who we should be or what we should have achieved by a certain time. Not to mention limit our self care because we are older and feel it's our "responsibility" to look after everybody else in our family first

Age can be a trap and a wheel of excuses if we let it, or it can be something to be proud of, to download wisdom from and to break the norms of reality with.

Age is literally a number and what really matters is how old you are on the inside. Your biological age. If we prioritise our health and self care it really doesn't matter what age we are, but more so the quality of life that we are allowing ourselves to live and attain.

In today's episode we talk about the challenges around ongoing health coditions and injuries. It can be really hard when you can't get answers or find a way forward that can effect mindset and overall ability to cope.

We discuss then importance of finding ways to support yourself to help your body on the healing journey. We believe there is always a way forward and having the support networks and self-care practices in place are essential for your ability to heal and regain some balance within.

The journey isn't always a quick fix, it may take time and to try different modalities or practitioners, but when we hold a mindset of possibility and what can I do right now, who can I reach out to and what can I learn about this situation, it opens up more awareness to your body and can assist with a deeper understanding of what can be available.

We encourage listener to keep going, to embrace the journey and find a way forward no matter what. Knowing there is support around and there are answers available.

In todays episode we dive right into Self Doubt. The ways in which we doubt our divine power, instincts or abilities, and we break down how can use self doubt to actually benefit your journey. 

Self doubt is something that can be very challenging, over whelming and can really slow us down and sometimes come in between us achieving our greatest potential. 

So today we want to inspire you, to expect doubt and dance with it to really see it as a tool. When it starts to pop up you can be the one in control of your response and conversation with it. Not it over you.
