Bio Energy Scan

Have you heard about quantum biofeedback systems that were developed by scientists to keep astronauts healthy in space? Absolutely amazing technology!Is it the way of the future? I see links between this and the ancient healing art Jin Shin Jyutsu which is also focused on energy flows in our bodies. I found this website interesting.

Aromatherapy at Waihi Beach

Today at our lovely farmers market I got talking to Peter Gosney who sells aromatherapy potions. I was really impressed with his products. As a qualified aromatherapist, he knows his stuff and his products are divine. I usually buy Body Shop face cream but have noticed how Body Shop aren't that natural - his facecream is made up of Avocado, Macadamia, Rose hip, apricot, carrot tissue - all high in Vitamin C and A and all so natural. The other great thing is that it is half the price of Body Shop Vitamin E face cream. I loved his different lip balms too. He even had a cream that you put under your eyes for relief of hayfever - and this is just a start. I just love meeting genuine people with genuine products.

vitamin D

Interesting to read in the Herald about how the lack of vitamin D is linked to deaths with patients with pneumonia. In London, pregnant women are advised to take vitamin D during their pregnancy. Apparently, 10 minutes of sunlight a day on the crown of your head is great for health and gives you a dose of vitamin D

Self Healing Art

If you can't go to sleep at night or when you wake up in the night and can't go back to sleep, try gently holding your thumb with your other hand and focus on breathing in through your nose, out through your nose for longer than you breathed in. As you breathe out feel yourself relaxing. Soon you will be able to feel a pulse in your thumb. Then you can hold your other thumb. I would love to hear whether holding your thumb lets you get to sleep more easily.

Jin Shin Jyutsu

Am really looking forward to tomorrow when I start a new study group to learn more about the art of Jin Shin Jyutsu. Will keep you posted about my progress.
I attended a 5 day course in Auckland at the end of last month with an amazing group of practitioners. The teacher had come out from New York. I am excited about how it can help people heal themselves. Am practising it on myself and friends and family eg.one day I had hiccups that wouldn't stop and just gently held behind my ears on my neck and they stopped straight away.

Hollie's art exhibition

My daughter Hollie has a great art exhibition in Tauranga at the moment. It is well worth visiting. She also has had an articled in the Que Magazine about her art. I can see she has huge potential as an artist. She is also a very talented art teacher.

Human doings or human beings?

An interesting concept - we are not called human doings or human tryings - we are called human beings for a reason.

Maybe it is because if we enjoy being on our own, by being still for even a short time each day, by listening to what we actually need and want and honouring ourselves by slowing down to enjoy life -we become more aware of ourselves and can truly enjoy life's treasures.

Or maybe this is too simple for us to understand in a world that encourages us to rush, to be busy and stressed?
