With spring we expect feelings of awakening upliftment forward movement. This year a hiatus seemed apparent things were somehow different. We found ourselves having to stop and think more about what we want what were doing and why in other words questioning what weve taken for granted. Indeed these are times of change so having a questioning mind would certainly be the order of the day if we are to consider the road ahead. A renewed outlook highlights how we easily become complacent within a society that is built upon expectations of what we feel we should have access to and what should be provided for us. We see the useles... 2012-5-14 10:47:27 http://www.in-form.co.uk/page6.htm#115459 0 false 18 pt 18 pt 0 0 false false false Style Definitions table.MsoNormalTable msostylenameTable Normal msotstylerowbandsize0 msotstylecolbandsize0 msostylenoshowyes msostyleparent msopaddingalt0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt msoparamargin0cm msoparamarginbottom.0001pt msopaginationwidoworphan fontsize12.0pt fontfamilyTimes New Roman msoasciifontfamilyCambria msoasciithemefontminorlatin msofareastfontfamilyTimes New Roman msofareastthemefontminorfareast msohansifontfamilyCambria msohansithemefontminorlatin msoansilanguageENUS There will be times when despite what you thought were your best efforts your body no longer behaves in the way you thought it would should or how it used to.

My analogy of how this year has felt to me has been like an almostempty tube of toothpaste where the very last dregs have been squeezed up to the neck awaiting their ultimate release into the wider world. The squeeze has been present in one way or another for many people in order to look back to the past and check for anything that has been overlooked swept under the carpet or otherwise ignored. So as well as emotional shifts we may have been physically clearing our own spaces to get rid of everything that no longer fits. We may have spent weeks feeling spaced out as weve been retuned to a different frequency now theres a thought. If we are to begin the change that our world needs then everything needs to be cleared out before we can move forward into our personal and collective futures.

The first day it started I was rather taken aback at the speed from morning to evening at which it developed into a fully fledged cold. That night I didnt sleep well feeling achy and restless and the next day I continued to get worse. My head and just below the base of the neck were marked by blotchy fever marks where most of the virus seemed to be active. The rest of my body felt freezing cold probably because all hands were on deck with the inflammation. By evening I had to go to bed. I was so cold that I piled on my winter quilt and had a hot water bottle between my thighs quickest way to get warm. I soon went to sleep despite feeling nauseous and woke 2.5 hours later really cooking The fever had broken and I had already begun ... 2011-8-14 13:23:43 http://www.in-form.co.uk/page6.htm#97853 2011-7-7 11:03:31 http://www.in-form.co.uk/page6.htm#96423 As the world at large lurches from one economic crisis to the next petrol and therefore food prices continue to escalate we all feel the squeeze. So when I talk to people about buying organic foods and avoiding anything processed the first thing they think about is the cost. Understandable but is that whats best for you or IOver the years with much experimentation on my family I have found that everyone is happier and satisfied for longer on smaller portions of organic food than large meals of highly processed massproduced foods. Think about it. Logic tells you that if food is grownfed upon ground that is cared for with a mind towards its nutrient levels and long term yields against the rape and chemical feed ethos of large conglomerates well you can work out which will be the richer in nutrients. Remember the higher the nutrient levels the more quickly your body is satisfied therefore the less you need to eat.I could go on and on about massproduced versus organic but you can find... 2011-6-16 19:40:16 http://www.in-form.co.uk/page6.htm#88218 The long winter days are slowly retreating but much greyness yet remains. Our bodies echo the heaviness of hearts that long for sunshine and it takes more effort than usual to remain cheerful. So what can we do to see us through to the brighter days of spring and smooth the transition into summerTo begin we can choose foods that naturally help cleanse the liver making us feel more calm and brightening up those thinking processes cleaning liver and gall bladder also helps get rid of bags under the eyes. Eat lots of beetroot in whatever form you like but if you choose to juice your beets no more than a small glass at a time or you may feel nauseous. A much more pleasant way to eat your beets is a raw beet salad this is minePeel and roughly chop 34 beets into the blender. Add half that quantity of peeled amp chopped swede salt black pepper a couple of tablespoons of olive oil balsamic vinegar and a handful of fresh coriander. Blend all together for about 30 seconds until the big ch... 2011-3-1 18:20:17 http://www.in-form.co.uk/page6.htm#86504 These times of quickening energies increase our sense of urgency to finish those things we know weve swept under the carpet some time ago. But theres also a fear of the speed at which events are occurring or perhaps youre feeling so stuck in fear that youre energy is literally constipated which is manifesting in a lot of armshoulder and gut issues now. As the ego battles hard to hold sway and we may unwittingly be clinging to outmoded ideas that no longer serve us the harder we resist the more turbulence will be felt there is only one path now. The challenge then is to submit totally.

Well here are a few tips I use to keep warm without breaking the bank.Eat enough good quality protein and fat your body needs more of these to stay warm. Every meal should contain protein fat and carbs not necessarily from grains in the quantities that suit you individually. Best fats are butter olive oil and coconoil.Drink enough water its a conductor.Breathe properly if were cold its common to shallow breath because we tense up. Breathing more deeply and making an effort to relax gets your circulation going better. Make time for a brisk walk every day to really get your heart and circulation pumping youll stay warm for hoursIf you do find yourself chilled to the bone quickest way to get warm is a hot water bottle between the thighs theres a rich supply of blood vessels there and youll be warm in aro... 2010-12-2 20:10:10 http://www.in-form.co.uk/page6.htm#81830 Although regular body maintenance is no stranger to me my arms are not quite long enough to apply pressure to the soft tissues of the back in a way that another person could so I have been getting by for too long on the flannel work that I advocate to one and all. It therefore came as a sharp reminder when I recently received a very thorough back massage from a friend and was so wiped out the following day that I actually fell asleep 3 timesWhat this means is that numerous toxins and possibly viruses which had doubtless been enjoying a long holiday around the bones of my skeleton were suddenly disturbed by the massage and left to flow unfettered through my body increasing my toxic load to the extent that my system had gone into overdrive to cope with them Fortunately I knew what was going on.The moral of this story is that we can all benefit from regular at least every couple of months massage and that we should all get some form of regular treatment to clean out and stimulate the so... 2010-12-1 21:51:29 http://www.in-form.co.uk/page6.htm#77153 Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Style Definitions table.MsoNormalTable msostylenameTable Normal msotstylerowbandsize0 msotstylecolbandsize0 msostylenoshowyes msostyleparent msopaddingalt0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt msoparamargin0cm msoparamarginbottom.0001pt msopaginationwidoworphan fontsize10.0pt fontfamilyTimes New Roman msoansilanguage0400 msofareastlanguage0400 msobidilanguage0400 .. says the Tao. To me this phrase is often displayed in the bodies of the clients I see manifest as painful symptoms of long term tension and the effect of much inward struggle.

The speed at which we operate on any given day will be dictated by how much rest we give ourselves and the food we eat but we also realise early on that we can falsely affect that speed with the use of stimulants to speed us up or alcohol to slow us down. Unfortunately both of these have a direct effect upon the hydration of our body and when you consider that this process can begin around the end of our teenage era thats quite a lot of dehydration over the years. So how do the degrees of dehydration manifest Well the body has to ensure that the brain is always sufficiently hydrated or our thinking processes and running of the bodily systems are affected. Theres a pecking order of importance in the hydration needs of the body so in order to ensure the brain has its prerequisite fluids may... 2010-9-26 14:57:56
