 Which style of meditation would be best suited for those struggling with emotional pain?

A huge part of any relationship is learning to balance the good times with the bad, which is not always easy and there will come a time when due to circumstances that are often not within our control you will need to learn how to navigate the process of letting someone you love go. This does not always relate to a romantic relationship, it could be the death of a family member, a friendship that has run its course or even moving away from a path of life that is no longer in your future plans. Each of these situations can be equally devastating in its own way, especially if we were not prepared for the inevitable changes that come as the result of loss.as ultimately a part of giving your heart to another is the possibility of heartbreak one day, which can either be intentional such as a romantic break up ,natural such as a death , or due to unforeseen circumstances such as illness, an accident or someone taking their own life or having their life taken. Grief is a process that anyone who has encountered any kind of loss will be sadly familiar with. There is no right or wrong way and acceptance of the new normal can take time. The loving kindness meditation teaches us to practice forgiveness towards ourself and others because if we continue to carry emotional burdens our hearts will never heal. Through this meditation we learn to forgive and accept the life lessons we will learn, encouraging a sense of increased understanding and compassion,whilst taking accountability to eliminate negative emotions, criticism and judgement which will enable us to heal and reduce feelings of isolation and emotional pain. To love someone unconditionally you need to understand that there will come a time at some point when you need to part, we all will one day and this meditation encourages us to feel only love instead of pain making acceptance that little bit easier, because ultimately to genuinely love someone can be the most beautiful but also the most painful emotion you will ever feel, especially when its time to let them go. #loss #love #lettinggo #livingwithloss #forgiveness

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

  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...
