You can do everything right and still have flare-ups and feel terrible.

People have all kinds of ideas about what they will and won’t do but often those personal rules get broken.

I’ve had some hard knocks in my body and building my way back to strength has been quite challenging at time.

If you are an empath or a highly sensitive person you can likely feel a lot about everyone you encounter.

It’s quite common for people to experience the same types of reactions and pain again and again. The question I would pose to you is what type of circling back are you doing?

Have you dismissed going for more therapy because you believe it is too taxing?

Does the prospect of dealing with your emotional mess feel like more work than reward?

Before I launch into the merits of body-based emotional therapy, I want to give credit to traditional psychotherapy for all the benefits it provides.

The books, videos and posts that I value most, mirror something that part of me already knows.

The idea of unearthing suppressed emotional material is controversial. On the one hand, if that repressed material is creating blocks to living your life and accessing healing, then we want to know what’s really going on.

The foods you choose have a huge impact on your vitality. If you eat food that is processed, package or industrial, there isn’t much life/chi/prana in it.

Imaginative, unstructured play brings children into the moment and grounds them in their bodies.

If you child has a learning challenge, take some time to explore why. Look at the whole child. Learn at what’s happening in the household.

When the stress load is too high, children can be in a chronic state of tension, which may not be apparent on the surface.

What if we looked at children with learning challenges through a holistic lens? Let’s broaden the focus from how the child processes information to how the child is doing in his/her life.

All week I have written about discipline and asked you please, not to spank your kids. That brings us to the primary question, how can we get our kids to listen?

Our children will teach us what we need to learn for our self-growth, if we listen. In every moment that the child doesn't listen, there is an opportunity for us to self-reflect.

I wish it would be clear to parents that hitting children does much more harm than good. Spanking is not an effective way to teach children good behaviour.
