Well another bank holiday has been and gone and what did you all do on such a wet day?

Hi everyone

Well another bank holiday has been and gone and what did you all do on such a wet day? In our house the restful options would have been to cosy in with a good, old film or play a game or even do some knitting or sewing. What did I actually do? Tidy the attic, madness I hear you say and indeed it was. In fact this is a job that has been put off for so long that it is now on going and will need several more wet days to complete!

I brought a few boxes down to the spare room to empty and sort, guess what? The spare room is now a  mess and the bed is littered with bits and pieces. Is it not the old sayings that things have to get worse before they get better? You can't make an omlette without breaking the eggs? The attic is still a mess and now the spare room is as well!

This all reminded me of the way homeopathy works some times, it can be that symptoms get worse before they get better. There can be an intensification before a steady improvement begins. As a homeopath if I see this in a case it tells me we are doing ok and things will begin to get better and better. Reassurance is often what is needed to enable the patient to go with the process and experience a better level of health in the long run.

Tidying the attic and spare room will result in more order and freedom from some of our clutter, indeed a work in progress and the result will be good, just need to get to down to it!

Wishing you all a happy week

It's the August bank holiday already! Where does time go?

Hi everyone

It's the August bank holiday already! Where does time go?

Some time for me this past week has been spent in buying a new lock and door handle for my office and helping in fitting the same (my d.i.y team is very good, I try to assist!) There had been hints that all was not well with the door handle and the lock I have to say and then the handle fell off in my hand, necessitating a more immediate response.

At this point I should mention my door bell, it has an intermittent fault, sometimes it rings when a patient arrives, sometimes it delays and rings later, not good but the bell hasn't fallen off the wall! Unlike the door handle and lock, my bell works more often than not but it does need some attention.

Our bodies send us messages about our state of health, if we choose to ignore these messages, don't hear them or are unable to respond, then bigger messages will be needed, symptoms will become stronger, more frequent until we have to stop and take notice. I had to stop and get my door fixed, one day soon my bell is going to stop working altogether and then the need to sort it will be desparate. What I need to do is to get my d.i.y team to investigate for me and if I need a new bell I have the time to find one.

Health wise, what we need to do is listen to what our bodies are telling us and if needed seek advice and sort things out before the problem becomes more serious. Let's not leave things until they fall off in our hands!

New beginnings!

Hi everyone

 

With the new academic year fast approaching our minds turn to thoughts of new beginnings. September is a peroid of transition for many children and young people, going to nursery or school for the first time, moving up to a new class or a new school, to college or university. It is also a time of regrouping for us all before autumn comes along; there is always the hope of late summer sunshine in September and often we are not disappointed.

I think September is also a very good time to focus in on our health and begin to make the changes that we all know we need but have been putting off for so long!

With this thought in mind let me invite you to the Health and Well Being day on Saturday September 15^th from 10am until 2pm at the public rooms in Bodmin. Come along and discuss any of your health concerns.

I am going to be focusing on women's health in particular so any questions relating to using homeopathy to help with painful peroids, pregnancy, birth, menopause, cystitis, anxiety, depression, digestive problems, skin problems or stress in general, please come along and find out what homeopathy could do for you. There's no time like the present my nan used to say, and she was right about so many things!

Look forward to meeting you soon.

Time to enjoy yourself!

Hi everyone

 

Another great week of sport and sporting acheivements. I hope that the olympics has 'inspired a generation'. The hope being that children and adults a like will try something new/different and find a sport that interests them, is satisfying and gives them pleasure. For me it is yogacise, not cycling or swimming I am afraid, we know I'm not very good at these! I have been enjoying yogacise/bodybalance for a long time and find it is just what I need.

 

It is important for us all to find things that nuture us and to make the time to enjoy them. How easy is it to make excuses to ourselves and not make the time to do the things that give us pleasure. However, if we do spend time nuturing ourselves then we feel better and are more able to whizz through our daily tasks, keeping all the balls in the air so to speak! It is all part of being as healthy as possible and is therefore very important!

Exercise is one way of nuturing ourselves, but let's not forget our creative side, hobbies are important too. It's a holistic thing, health. Sorting one area is good but let's remember the whole.

 

Wishing you all a happy week

Olympic Joy & Success!

Hi everyone

  

Aren't the Olympics fabulous? I think we can be proud of what we have achieved in staging this incredible event and in the achievements of all those althletes taking part. It has been amazing watching so many different sports and seeing how incredible we are as human beings.

I was listening to the radio on Friday and the father of one of the gold medalists was speaking about his delight at his son's success but also about how as parents we want our children to be happy, fulfilled and achieve their potential. I was thinking that this is exactly right but also that we all need to have our purpose whatever that may be and to find fulfilment in our lives.

What are the things that stop us finding the best of ourselves? Well I think good health is vital and this is where homeopathy comes in because it is so helpful in bringing us to the best health that we are capable of.

We are not all destined to be olympians and it is true that I struggle swimming one length of the pool and I have been known to fall off my bike but with the help of homeopathy I can be as well as I can be and do my best to help others who come for homeopathic treatment.

Wishing you all a happy week
