I love this. So often in this fast paced world we become overwhelmed with what we think needs to be done. It causes so much stress on the body and it is really not necessary. Just starting with a little bit means the job will eventually get done. Be kind to yourself.

this is an easy thing to do to help congestion. Give it a go

Working with the skull

People of all ages can suffer with sinus problems and blocked ears. A good way to relieve this congestion is to grasp either side of the skull, fingertips meeting down the centre ridge (the saggital suture), then firmly pull that ridge apart with your fingertips, starting at one end of the skull and working your way along.

This releases built up tension in the skull and helps the flow through the sinus passages. The movement also helps alleviate pressure in the ears, allows the small intestine to relax, and improves breathing.

This simple exercise can help with feeling less blocked up on all these levels. Why not have a go on yourself, or offer to work on your friends and family? And it can be just as effective for children as well as adults.

I do love this. Nature is so healing. I recently got a puppy and walking him everyday is balm to my soul.

Breathing is is underrated. Just a few minutes of deep breathing can make a huge difference to our health.

💦WATER💦

Water has so many benefits for our health and wellbeing.

Here are some reasons for ensuring your body has enough water on a daily basis.

Water helps to:
✅transport nutrients to cells,
✅remove waste,
✅helps relieve constipation,
✅controls body temperature,
✅helps maintain a healthy rate of metabolism,
✅support brain function and energy levels

Dehydration stresses the body and when the body is stressed, it becomes dehydrated - a vicious circle spoken about by Barbara Wren in her book A Return to the Light (a good read).

In Chinese medicine, the water element is linked to the Bladder and Kidney meridians. The emotions linked to both the bladder and kidney meridians are fear, worry, anxiety.

Water strengthens these meridians and helps the energy flow efficiently through them. In turn, the emotions are supported as well.

It’s generally recommended that we drink between 2-3 litres of pure water per day depending on your physical activity level, build etc.

❓Are you getting enough? How can you increase your water intake to better support your health & wellbeing?

A good tip is to start using a water bottle with the times of day written on it. These bottles are a good visual aid and reminder to keep DRINKING! 💦

We are all part of this world so it not surprising that being in nature is so important for our health. Go for a walk, hug a tree, maybe even a swim in the sea.

Cauliflower rice ready to go in the oven. Baked with onion, garlic, cumin, turmeric, salt, pepper and some olive oil. I find it keeps much dryer being baked. Great to have in the fridge ready to go with any meal.

My friends and family will know I love my herbs and often pick a selection for my tea. Rosemary is such a lovely herb for cooking, mixed into a tea or in an oil burner. Know for remembrance no wonder it helps the brain.
