Wellness and Meditation

Life Coaching Sydney helps with personal development

Life Coaching and personal development can be one of the most profound awakenings in life.

Your mind can be your best friend or your worst enemy as any sufferer of anxiety, excessive worry or depression can attest.

Meditation and mindfulness are a way to quieten the inner workings of your mind.  When you ave achieved a level of inner peace, it is simple to take that presence and use it constructively in other situations.

Wellness Meditation

When you are upset or out of alignment with your usual self, having the inner skills to reset and refocus yourself is a great skill.

Luckily, the answer lies in meditation - and we have the tools for meditation with us everyday, all the time.  What a bonus!

Meditation can help us access a deep inner knowledge, make more conscious decisions and live with greater wellness on all levels.  Think of your mind as a lake and your thoughts as waves that wash across the lake - not changing it, but just moving through it.

Big Beach Challenge

Imagine setting yourself a walking goal of bettering your own existing record...

This event has been a long time coming but has the potential to become a classic sand running/walking event in Australia. The event was trialed by a group of enthusiastic ladies (see pics below) in 2009 (their record was 7 hours and 48 minutes) and this year we are opening the event to the general running and walking public. The event will happen in 2010 and will include a run/walk course starting from Birubi Beach in Port Stephens and finishing at Stockton Beach. This is 32kms of sand. There will also be a 16km out and back walk from Stockton Beach for those who think 32km is too far. This is called the Sight the Sygna 16 and will head 8km out to the Sygna ship wreck and back. Also not for the faint hearted.

Each year we plan to change the direction of the event, heading in 2011 from Stockton to Birubi.

Our official charity for the event is the Harry Meyn Foundation, who have just established Harry's House in Stockton. Harry's House has been established to allow families of sick children who need to travel to Hunter based medical facilities the opportunity to stay close to treatment and or seek a retreat to enjoy the beautiful Stockton beaches and township. Competitors in the event will be encouraged to seek sponsorship for Harry's House over their Big Beach Challenge.

The Big Beach Challenge will be held on Saturday, 21 August 2010.
