What is loving Kindness meditation and how can it benefit you? 
 
Loving Kindness meditation focuses on using love, kindness and forgiveness to enable you to let go of any past trauma or unresolved pain that was experienced that caused emotional upset in some capacity.
 
The people who can benefit the most from this style of meditation are the following.
 
Those who have suffered a loss of passing of a loved one and are struggling to process the varying emotions that inevitably come with grief. 
 
Those suffering the breakdown of a relationship through infidelity or a lost connection and struggling to move on .
 
Those who have become e strained from family or loved ones.
 
Those who have had a traumatic childhood and never fully healed. 
 
Relationships are never straight forward but one thing is for certain love in whatever form if it is genuine and sincere is always unconditional this can be applied to friendships, emotional relationships or family ties and there will be no doubt in your mind .
 
In an ideal world, we would always be chosen and there would be no conflicts or disharmony but unfortunately this is not reality and at some point we will all be affected in some way and must learn to.navigate the twists and turns that will inevitably come our way. 
 
By practicing the loving kindness approach and choosing love and forgiveness over pain and resentment the following benefits can be attained.
 
An improved depth and quality of sleep
 
A reduction in Stress and Anxiety
 
Increase in self acceptance
 
Better emotional regulation and increased happiness
 
Improved relationships with self and others
 
Reduced hostility and Anger.

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...
