What is Emotional health?

It is a misconception to think that to have good emotional health it is necessary to be happy all the time. Being able to feel and process different emotions is healthy, as human beings we often need to adapt to various emotional states as we journey through life . It is healthy to feel varying emotions which others may view as negative such as anger and rage but it's how we process them and express them which includes our consequential behaviour towards others that is important.
Emotional health is so much more than having the ability to feel and process emotions in a healthy and constructive way , with changes and challenges in life inevitably will come stress and learning ways in how to cope when faced with different sensations is very important. Everybody has their own way of managing Stress, personally I like to take quiet time by myself to assess and then process, for others they may find peace in asking for advice or solutions from others.
Having the ability to manage emotional concerns and knowing when to ask for help will attract positive social connections both in a personal and professional manner, so that when situations arise others will feel you are more approachable when resolving conflict or difficult situations.
Having a strong sense of self is important, knowing who you are will give you a sense of inner confidence along with purpose as opposed simply drifting through life with no sense of who you are or what your dreams or goals are.
Life is indeed a journey and it is up to us to take responsibility for the choices we make as opposed blaming others because making mistakes is what makes us stronger in the long term it's how we learn about our strengths and weaknesses to enable our future choices to be more positive and productive.

The 5 main types of massage movements and benefits

Image
There are a variety of different strokes used during a typical massage routine. This depends on the style of massage, the clients  requirements and how the therapist conducts her treatment.  When I am working on a client I personally like to use a variety of massage movements not only to enable the massage to be as effective as possible, but also so that I can tailor make the session to cater for each individuals needs as client satisfaction is extremely important to my practice. Below is a summary of the main massage movements used in swedish massage which is the most common style of massage practised,the reasons for each stroke and the benefits that are gained as a result. All the strokes are done in an upwards motion towards the heart. The strokes are described as I personally use them and in order for what I have found to be the most effective way of practicing but each therapist obviously has their own method of what works best for them and their treatment. ...

What are defence mechanisms and how can we recognise them in our self and others?

What are defence mechanisms and how can we recognise them in our self and others? Everyone one of us if we choose to be completely honest with ourselves have at some time in our life used defence mechanisms as a way of protecting ourselves from feelings which arise as a result of our ego feeling threatened in some way and coming under attack. Defence mechanisms are not something we can always consciously control, they can often be non voluntaristic but can often lead to what others may perceive as unpleasant behaviour leading to inevitable judgement if they are not recognised for what they are. A huge reason why I am so passionate about tantra is that it encourages people to remove the mask and be free to be who they really are and yet so many of us continue to wear these masks to enable us to continue feeling confident in our everyday lives. Unfortunately, we are often our own harshest critic and for most people situations that bring uncertainty into our lives can often trig...

  Why is following a diet designed for your individual blood type so important? Part 2 In a previous post I explored Dr Peter J. Adamo book “Eat right for your type” which suggested that following a diet specifically recommended for individual blood types diet could have a huge impact on health and wellbeing.   I decided to explore this issue of blood types further and uncovered other fascinating concepts that can be derived from blood type including the exercise recommended to allow the body to operate at an optimum level, personality characteristics and recommended careers which would be suitable. Some of the information stated below is taken directly from Dr Adamo’s book. Through my research I have shared below what I discovered about each of the blood types, of course as individuals this may differ from your own personal characteristics but perhaps see if you can relate in any way …In Japan blood type is particularly favoured in relating to compatibility in Love and jo...
