For context, these were due to be published in March 2025. The NZ govt prevented their publication because they intended to ban puberty blockers and the guidelines show they are safe, effective, and standard care internationally. Today they were released in an OIA putting them in the public domain.

58 seconds of relaxation with the nearby Pōhutukawa. Sun’s out but there is also a gentle rain. You can hear the cicadas, the Tūī, and other birds.

I have practiced many different modalities (meditation, breathwork, mindfulness, etc.) and nothing resets me like being barefoot in the ocean.

The house behind us has the diggers in today. Not sure what they are doing, but whatever it is sometimes shakes my house and is a bit disconcerting.
