Great Body Mechanics
Watch babies, toddlers and small children! Before they get hideously corrupted by the requirements of school (endlessly sitting on chairs amongst other things), they are amazing examples of how to use your body. They balance disproportionately large heads without effort – because ‘balance’ is the mechanism, no need for unnecessary holding by the neck muscles… They pick up awkward or bulky objects in ways
Unexpected Visitors
No, I’m not talking about spiders, even though they are appearing everywhere with the change in the weather, and, no I’m not referring to mice… I’m thinking about people who enter our lives without notice. Chance meetings, encounters, where we are given an opportunity to explore a new friendship perhaps, or an entirely different take on life… Or, an offer or a request that
Our Internal Caretakers
The theme of the moment appears to be ensuring that we have access to our ‘internal caretakers’, and that they are still the right person for the job! By ‘internal caretakers’, I mean the internal self we check in with when feeling a little vulnerable, under pressure, or needing a bit of cheering from the sidelines! For some it could be a sense of
Full Super Moon tonight!
Having attended an Anthropology course some years back, it has since made even more sense to pay attention to the moon. The entire community, ie both men and women, ran using the phases of the moon. It made sense in some very basic ways eg the light at night! And, it also took into account women’s menstrual cycles, tying in with men going off
Barefoot New Moon Walk!
On Saturday, I finally managed to get to my first official Barefoot Walk this season, and on the New Moon – a perfect combination. Lots of children on this one, which was great, as they don’t need to be converted to Barefooting, they’re often doing it already! And, I connected with the delightful Sharon Mackay (& family) who I’d met previously at an evening
Significant days
July holds a number of ‘significant days’ for me. Important birthdays of loved ones, some living, some not – all, I believe, requiring some gentle acknowledgement. Another year of ‘light’ processing – by that I mean not getting bogged down in tortuous analysis, but a skim and an update of any new perspectives. Much joy and, also, some sadness. Do you find ‘marking’ days
Breathing and being, not doing
I’m not sure if it’s the Spring growth spurt that seems to start impacting on people round about now but overwhelm appears to have hit home of late. And, maybe, that the hot sunny weather, whilst being heavenly, is often, also, quite knackering! So, in seeing a number of clients who were suffering in one way or another from their busy lives, I’ve handed
Summer news, so far
Yesterday, I was in the garden doing some paperwork and I was stunned to see this divine little insect – take a look, it blew my mind – soo beautiful! Delightful to know you can be somewhere mundane, and be absolutely amazed. Keep an eye out – let me know if you see one. And, to flag up, Barefoot Walks are happening again –
Acid/Alkaline balance
A while back, Sandra Cassidy, a Nutritional Life Coach, came and gave a great talk at the monthly Chacewater Hypnotherapy Group Open Talks. It prompted me to start my day with cider vinegar in water, which has resulted in an increase in my energy – interesting! This, in turn, reminded me to buy pH test strips, to enable me to do my own acid/alkaline checks
Soap Nuts!
Not as random as you might think… Can you imagine how much washing I do? And, how important it is that I use products that won’t irritate the skin? I have a number of clients with sensitive skin, and, although I haven’t used bio washing powder since my son was born, I’m always interested in exploring options that do really clean towels etc., but
