If you are struggling with feelings of Anxiety one of the quickest ways to lower those anxious feelings is by breathing in through the nose for a count of 7 and breathe out through the mouth for a count of 11. Until you feel more relaxed.

Challenging Labels.....

16/7/2020

Have you ever been given a label by someone that has caused you intense distress? 
We are so much more than a label ... we are mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, hairdressers, nurses, happy, funny.....of course the list is endless.... 
You don't have to identify as a label that someone else has given you especially if it is unhelpful or just plain mean.  
So if you would like to challenge and change a label - Find a pen and paper 
Write down positive things that you identify with such as being trustworthy, kind ... etc and write down the reasons why you are so much more than that one label. 

You don't have to accept a label - If it feels wrong -  challenge it, change it!

I'm just not one of those people who can relax......

Or so you may think!
Being able to relax is a skill that you can develop - with a bit of practise.
*
The first stage of relaxation is gaining an awareness of where in your body you hold onto stress and tension.
Common signs of tension are: 
scrunching up your shoulders
Holding your breath
compressing your abdomen and 
gritting your teeth
A classic  example of tension is driving in heavy traffic. Imagine being stuck in Bristol traffic and now see if your body has taken on that posture. Shoulders up around the ears and chin jutting forward! Ouch! 
*
I know...... some folks get tense at the thought of relaxing, so instead of focusing on forcing relaxation - focus on removing tension.
The easiest way to do this is by progressive relaxation. Relaxing body parts and softening your muscles slowly from your head down to your toes.
* 
Tension eats up your energy & prevents it from flowing smoothly and naturally around your body. Creating stiffness instead of flexibility. 
*

If you have always thought about relaxation as something you can't do - give it another look - have a go. Strip away the tension, soften your muscles and breathe more easily - it has huge benefits to your health.
*
I am a great fan of post exercise relaxation... love a few minutes after Pilates.

Words that can help you to turn off your stress....

21/8/2018

Comments

 
I have just returned from my Tai Chi class and during our closing meditation three of the sentences which are spoken are: 

I am Bliss 
I am Peace 
I am Contentment


These words resonate with me on quite a deep level -  they will be different for everyone as we will all put a slightly different meaning to them. I find these words give me a feeling of calmness which can last for a good few hours. 

Here is a little exercise for you to try ….
Think of a word or short phrase that makes you feel calm and relaxed.
Find somewhere comfortable to sit and allow your eyes to gently close, take in a few deep breaths as the muscles of your body relax. And then allow your breathing to settle into it's natural rhythm. 
Start to repeat your phrase or word to yourself either silently or aloud and continue to do this for 5 - 10 minutes. If something else pops into your head acknowledge it and allow it to drift on through like a cloud and then return to repeating your word/phrase. When your time is up open your eyes and notice how you feel. 
If you find this a nice exercise to do then practice it for a week and see if you notice any changes in your mood.
And if you are really keen you can start to extend it to 10 -20 minutes! 

Struggling with stress? Hypnotherapy can be a useful way of helping to lower your stress levels - if you would like an appointment you can book below ...

Hypnobirthing Live and Online Course

Hypnobirthing Courses
I am adapting some of my courses to run as shorter courses. The reason I am doing this is because I would like to make it accessible to more people. I will still be running private and small group courses which are the full course. The shorter courses are mostly hypnosis based with some antenatal education in class and the rest of it done at home on your computer. You will have a log in to my site where you can watch videos, read articles and download recordings. If this shorter course is something you are interested in please get in touch. I can only accommodate 4 couples in each group and I am running these from The Natural Pregnancy Partnership in Long Ashton on Tuesday evenings and Butcombe Village Hall on Monday evenings from October.

I just heard someone saying that if you make an NG sound (like a hum) it can help you to relieve Tinnitus. It has peaked my interest today so here is a bit of collected information. 

Hypnotherapy 

There are some specific Hypnotherapy Downloads for Tinnitus - I don't have a specific recording but I do have a general relaxation recording try it and see if it helps!

If any of these help I would love to know

Aromatherapy

I am sitting in a very fragrant room filled with the scents of far away Mediterranean places and I have to say the weather here in North Somerset is really adding to the Mediterranean feel. 
I am mixing up a couple of blends for clients to use at home after their treatments. I have been able to source a lovely new addition to my oils - Vitex Agnus Castus Essential Oil which I was pleased to be able to source from local company www.BristolBotanicals.co.uk
Vitex or Chaste Berry Tree is often used to help regulate menstrual disorders, relieve symptoms of PMS and some menopause symptoms.

News Letter

Hello,
I hope that you are enjoying some seasonal warmth and topping up your levels of Vitamin D.
This is my first News Letter – and it may be my one and only J
April was The ‘Women on Fire’ Conference in Brighton with lots of interesting speakers over 2 days and extra day training in Hypopressive techniques. This was a very interesting conference with trainers from USA, Spain & Australia as well as our own fabulous UK trainers – teaching the latest techniques and research from the exercise, physio and nutritional worlds.

I am poking up my head in the far right corner!
My Hypopressive training with Master Trainer Kaisa Tuominen
https://www.ukhypopressives.com/what-is-hypopressives/
May was a month of exams (acupuncture), visiting the Chelsea Flower Show for the first time, Holidaying on the West Coast of Scotland for a week in a campervan (and having exceptionally warm weather).
Now it’s back to reality and I’m on a mission – and gearing up for some serious work time.
I am still offering a few places to anyone who would like to be a case study for acupuncture – so if you would like to try 4 sessions of acupuncture free of charge – get in touch.
I am off to Brighton this month to add to my abdominal/sacral massage skills by adding Mizan Pre and postnatal massage
 https://www.mizantherapy.com/mizan/pregnancy-and-post-natal/
Saturday 7th July @ 11am is Bristol Fertility Support Group – if you are struggling with fertility issues come along and talk to others who are walking a similar path.
I am also updating some of Pilates training with courses on Scoliosis and Back Pain with APPI – and hopefully will be introducing some weighted ball workouts soon.

Abdominal/womb massage is as popular as ever - it’s a lovely massage which focuses on part of the body that is often ignored in massage – I also treat scar tissue.
