Feldenkrais-enhanced Self-Hypnosis: a De-Stressing Taster…
Self-Hypnosis, also known as Autogenic Training, has been around for a long time. I first came across it back in the Eighties, in a book “Feldenkrais-enhanced Self-Hypnosis: a De-Stressing Taster…”
Learning To Heal Ourselves
All of us have problems that can be described as “auto-immune”, i.e. the self under attack from the self, and very few of us experience effective long-term relief from drugs alone, although mostly that is all we are offered. Consequently often we are also the medically adventurous, ready to try new behaviours, new diets, to explore the many “alternative” or complementary approaches available, because we know the medications we are on are just not good for us in the long term.

The Rhythms Of Life
Harmonising Diaphragms & Sphincters When we think about the way we move as an indicator of good health, we might picture a younger, more lively “The Rhythms Of Life”
What is a “fully conscious voice”?

Sitting Well–Or Everything You Know About Posture Is Wrong!
…So, when you notice yourself slumping, shoulders hunched, chest caved in, head poked forward, stop for a moment and notice how truly effortless this posture is for you!
