How to transform triggers

By |2021-04-03T11:31:32+01:00February 25th, 2021|Categories: Health & Wellbeing|Tags: , |Comments Off on How to transform triggers

Transforming our triggers will free us from reacting to other people’s inappropriate comments. We might still be annoyed, but we’ll get our power back, we won’t be dragged down to their level. A trigger is activated inside of us and we feel we have to protect ourselves. We sometimes blame, criticise or can even attack the person who offended us. The more we practice and transform our emotional triggers, the more emotionally free we will be. Healing unwanted habits is not always easy, especially if we’ve been hurt in the past and these inappropriate comments bring up hidden memories [...]

Reiki – Conscious vs Subconscious Mind

By |2021-04-03T11:09:03+01:00April 3rd, 2018|Categories: Health & Wellbeing|Tags: , , |Comments Off on Reiki – Conscious vs Subconscious Mind

We talk about the MIND BODY & SPIRIT connection – not just the Mind & Body! I personally picture them as a trinity working along together. Being better acquainted with our subconscious mind allows us to differentiate different emotions we’re experiencing – accept them – and finally let them go using different techniques such as diversion, shrinking, affirmations....etc – turning our chatterbox into a harbour of peace. These techniques are put in place using our conscious mind (intellectual side). I personally also use Reiki to link the conscious and subconscious mind – in order to [...]

Are you a positive or negative thinker?

By |2020-03-23T11:35:46+00:00February 19th, 2018|Categories: Health & Wellbeing|Tags: , , |Comments Off on Are you a positive or negative thinker?

Positive, optimistic people are happier, healthier and live a better life. They often enjoy more success than those who think negatively. After hours of counseling and mindfulness, I came to the realisation that some people choose to focus on positive thoughts, even though they do have negative ones from time to time. They learn to screen their thoughts, and somehow find a way to push away negative ones. What do you tend to do? Would you count yourself as a positive person? This 2-minute video will explain the key difference between positive vs negative thoughts – but most [...]

How I practised my own therapeutic techniques to help me through a challenging time

By |2020-03-23T11:35:46+00:00December 17th, 2017|Categories: Health & Wellbeing|Tags: , , |Comments Off on How I practised my own therapeutic techniques to help me through a challenging time

We have all had one of those nights. A long, dark night which reaches out endlessly until the morning and your only companion is your thoughts. Dark, scary thoughts which torture and keep you from rest until the necessity of the next day dawns. I had one of those nights at the end of last year. The next day I went to see my GP; one of my nipples had doubled in size and was showing red pimples. After examining me, he told me that if my symptoms hadn’t reduced or improved within a week I needed to undergo [...]

The languages of love – how I realised my love tank needed filling up

By |2020-03-23T11:35:46+00:00December 9th, 2017|Categories: Health & Wellbeing|Tags: , |Comments Off on The languages of love – how I realised my love tank needed filling up

Something happened to me recently that reminded me of the importance of the 5 Languages of Love – and it got me thinking about how a lack of the right kind of love manifests itself and what you can do about it. Let me explain…. Since starting up my business, I have wanted to be featured in Muddy Stilettos (muddystilettos.co.uk), a brilliant local guide that started as a fantastic blog covering Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, and that has now grown into a multi-territory UK franchise. When Hero, the editor, agreed to have a treatment with me to then write a review [...]

Do you feel stuck in a rut? Here’s how to get out …

By |2020-03-23T11:35:46+00:00December 8th, 2017|Categories: Health & Wellbeing|Tags: , |Comments Off on Do you feel stuck in a rut? Here’s how to get out …

Feeling stuck in a rut is overwhelming, confusing, draining and extremely stressful.  Sometimes its hard to imagine how we will ever get out of it. The human ‘hierarchy of needs’ is a useful, simple and highly effective tool to help us understand why we are stuck, and how to move on.  The diagram below shows our needs in order of priority (with our essential requirements shown at the bottom of the pyramid). Unless those most basic of needs are met, we simply cannot reach the higher levels of self-fulfilment.  And once we have reached a level, we may not always remain there. [...]

As human beings, we have a fundamental desire to ‘belong’

By |2020-03-23T11:35:46+00:00December 7th, 2017|Categories: Health & Wellbeing|Tags: , |Comments Off on As human beings, we have a fundamental desire to ‘belong’

The human race has evolved over the centuries, living in tribes and to this day, we still need the sense of safety we get from our ‘tribe’ of friends or family. We fear rejection and can find it difficult to cope with being alone. It is so important not to underestimate this profound human need.  Ultimately a feeling of ‘not-belonging’ can lead to a sense of loneliness or inferiority, which in turn can have a direct impact on our self-esteem.  At one point or another we’ve all experienced a desire to fit in and be accepted by others.  It helps us see value [...]

Are you constantly eating but still hungry?

By |2020-03-23T11:35:46+00:00December 5th, 2017|Categories: Weight Loss|Tags: , , |Comments Off on Are you constantly eating but still hungry?

How to lose weight by nourishing your body and your mind Do you find yourself in a cycle of eating and soon thereafter, feeling hungry again? Are you gaining weight or know you need to lose weight but can’t stop feeling hungry? Here’s probably why: Despite our food portions getting bigger, the nutritional value our food gives us is declining. Fast food, ready meals, diet sandwiches, sugary snacks, processed and refined foods – all of these are so poor in vitamins, minerals and healthy proteins that we are starving on a cellular level. Your body is made from water and [...]
