THE MOBILE TERROR and disrespect

Posted in Lifestyle, Stress, Wellness, tagged , , , , , , on July 18, 2010 | 4 Comments »

I searched long and hard to find a simple phone that does only calls and messages. I have found one. It does other things too – barely – but I don’t bother about that. It was the cheapest phone on the market and they will probably not exist for very long, so I better stack [...]

BODY AWARENESS

Posted in Lifestyle, Personal development, Wellness, tagged , , , , , , on June 19, 2010 | 2 Comments »

I listen to many young people, and what is becoming more and more evident is this constant, incessant talk of body and weight. I am seriously disturbed by this.

Posted in Aromatherapy, Wellness, medicine, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , on June 15, 2010 | 2 Comments »

I went to Sweden over the weekend to celebrate my daughters graduation. This event is always outdoors, which is fine when (if) the sun is shining – it wasn’t. At least the rain stopped in time.

In the 11th century doctors in Europe were widely called “leeches” or “barber-surgeons” and their trade consisted mainly of cupping and blood-letting – the universal cure-all. They used herbs, vinegars and wine in treatment, but very little was known about the human body, disease and hygiene. At the time the witch-hunt was on full force [...]

HOURLY STRESS-RELIEF

Posted in Lifestyle, Personal development, Stress, Wellness, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on April 18, 2010 | 3 Comments »

Plenty of people come to me for help with stress, expecting that a session or a workshop will make it all go away, which, of course, it doesn’t. Looking around I am not entirely surprised over this naivete, stress is on everybody’s lips and the definition of what stress actually is has been lost along [...]

A hydrosol (also called hydrolate) is the condensate water produced during steam-distillation of plant material for aromatherapeutic purposes.

When I was pregnant I had great help of essential oils and massage for all the little things that come: prevention of stretch-marks (4 children later and not one mark!)
