Are you suffering Adenal Fatigue?

Adrenal Fatigue is a condition that turns up when we need it least - when we're stressed! Many people may experience these symptoms and think it's associated with depression or another issue, and try to resolve the symptoms rather than permanently fixing the real problem. If you suffer from three or more of the symptoms in this article, you may be suffering from adrenal insufficiency or fatigue.

Hypnotherapy to deal with pain

We are all familiar with medication to deal with pain, however hypnosis is the most frequently cited form of non-pharmacologic cognitive pain control. Hypnosis is an altered state of consciousness. It is where one's attention is focused; this creates an environment in which the brain can process information to bring about beneficial changes in a person. This essay explores how hypnosis can be used for pain.

Preparing for a half marathon (21km) race

Half Marathon season usually runs through the colder months but you should bargain on at least 3 months of training required, even if from a standing start. Literally, you are not running and then you run a half marathon 3 months later. I have run the SMH half marathon and the Blackmores half marathon now a number of times in sub 2 hours, not a great time but OK. As a beginner moving to intermediate running these are my half marathon running tips.

What's the difference between Restorative + Yin Yoga?

In a pose it’s encouraged to let go of muscular involvement to target the deeper connective tissues of the body such as fascia Some schools of Yin will teach Yin as a ‘cold’ practice, done without a warm-up as a way to protect students from going in to the held stretches too deeply In poses, you might be guided through mindfulness techniques to draw your awareness to letting your muscles relax, to target your ligaments, fascia and joints instead Yin might be considered a useful practice for building bone density

Injury Prevention Strategies for Basketball Players

Basketball Coaches promote an open and honest environment where players feel comfortable reporting injuries or discomfort. Ignoring early warning signs can lead to more severe injuries down the line. Players are encouraged to speak up, and coaches ensure they have access to medical professionals for assessment and treatment.

The (Im)possibility of work-life balance

Happiness can be a delicate creature. It has to be fed, nurtured and given attention. If we are too busy to nurture it then it grows weaker. In some cases happiness becomes so weak that it seems dead, but it is merely lying dormant until it is nurtured once more. For it to remain strong we need to create and maintain a balance between things that consume our energy and things that replenish our energy. This is often referred to as work/life balance.

Controlling your thoughts through meditation

A Wellness Coach analyses the goal of meditation as a way to regain control over our mind in this article. It claims meditation allows us the freedom to choose a meditation that suits our individuality. There are meditations to suit all individuals including the over-thinkers, the yogi’s, the young at heart and those that find it difficult to sit still. Read more to find out how meditation can affect you and which may be best for you.

Do you lose control during hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy uses a light or a medium trance. This means that while your conscious mind is distracted or in a state of relaxation, your subconscious mind becomes fully awake and active, thus facilitating rapid transformation. You remain in full control, aware of your surroundings and actions at all times.

The true reasons personal training works (& it's not why you think)

Pretty simple and no great revelation but in practice scheduling and committing to a workout matters a lot, and for most people it's the greatest challenge. There’s no other way forward with regards to significantly improving your fitness or body composition other than consistent exercise sessions accumulated over time. Intensity, exercise selection and brilliant technique will never be a substitute for turning up.

Relationship Advice: How to protect your self esteem in your relationship

In my therapy practice I often see individuals excepting behaviours in relationships they would never advise a friend to accept, simply to due to the fear of rejection. One of the by-products of being a nice person is accepting less than you are worth just to either keep the peace, or to try to avoid the possibility of someone leaving you. Women and men who are more sensitive in nature (and let me note that sensitivity is not a bad trait) are the most likely candidates for this behaviour.

The benefits of pregnancy massage

The benefits of pregnancy massage Week by week pregnancy demands adjustment. For your pregnancy massage practitioner, this presents an opportunity to support these physical changes with body therapy. Things that pregnant clients commonly complain of include: aching feet, sore neck, sore shoulders, fatigue, and upper and lower back pain. None of this seems surprising considering the postural changes and pressure on the spine associated with a rapid increase in weight over 9 months.

5 easy ways you can add exercise into your day

Human beings are routine based animals. We love structure, consistency and making things as easy as possible. So why not start your morning routine off with exercise? To do this I suggest making your environment supportive of this endeavour by setting up your workout clothes in an easy to see place as soon as you wake up, leave your gym shoes close to the front door, set a reminder on your phone.

The healing sounds of nature

Sounding in nature is one of the most powerful things you can do for your soul. We have all had moments of being outside, at the beach, or in the bush where we have been overwhelmed by the urge to call out, to sing, to scream, to cry or to laugh. This Expert Contribution shares the experience and talks about the benefits.

Everyone is a Healer

The other day I was doing our local headland walk and as I passed the playground, a three year old took a fall off his bike and grazed his knee. His dad came over to comfort him and put his hand on his knee. It was lovely to see how quickly the child turned from tears to smiles. You might also remember the comforting touch of your mum or dad when you took a fall as a kid. A parent’s touch actually helps injuries improve faster because of the healing energy that is naturally sent from the hands.

Meditation For Managing Chronic Pain

Sitting in quiet meditation and allowing the noise of the mind to pass by brings awareness of your own inner strength. In meditation you’re no longer in the midst of all the noise, rather you’re sitting at the boundary observing it. This brings perspective, an understanding of the transience of everything in life, even of negative emotions.

About kinesiology and what it does to your body

Kinesiology looks at the body as a whole - Mind, Body and Spirit, as one unit. If there is an imbalance in one area then it’s probably impacting the other areas. Kinesiology, through muscle monitoring allows us to determine where these imbalances are without the need for conscious awareness. This article explains why.

Perfect Yoga Lifestyle

My sister & I commenced yoga with Shirani early this year. It was something I’d always wanted to explore. We’d both had a yoga class here & there but were really totally novice as to how yoga could enrich our lives. I wanted a holistic experience, definitely nothing rushed or fast-paced but didn’t realise how many styles of yoga were on offer and just how lucky we were in choosing Shirani for our yogic experience. As mentioned, Shirani has proven to be the perfect choice for us, as she is a patient, inspiring and very dedicated teacher who lives and breathes yoga in every aspect of her life. Shirani’s knowledge is intense and ongoing and she generously imparts every aspect of everything she knows to anyone who is eager to learn. We are only early on in our yoga journey but have already learnt so much from Shirani. She has her work cut out with me but I absolutely adore her passion and commitment. She’s a fabulous role model and person, in general and I only wish I had taken this path a long time ago.

Answer from Santhosa Yoga & Meditation School on 04-12-2018:

Namaste Shirley & Margaret, What a heartfelt review. Thanks for your time and generous comments. As a yoga teacher it is my pleasure to take you on a journey that will help you to understand what life is all about. As you both are so committed to your yogic journey it simply led you in my direction. I am so glad that you’re in my life. Let’s continue to enjoy the journey together. Namaste

Yoga Classes

Review I have been attending Yoga classes with Shirani Perera for nearly 4 years. I have found Shirani to be an excellent teacher. She is very knowledgeable and always demonstrates new poses to assist her students. She is liberal with praise when something is well done and always very encouraging.I certainly feel as if I have achieved a good deal of confidence in my Yoga classes over the past 4 years and am very grateful to Shirani for her tuition. Shirani is very experienced in Yoga herself and is generous in passing this knowledge on to her students. I would, without hesitation, recommend Shirani to anyone wishing to take classes in Yoga Jan Cheshire
