Bodmin Riding and Heritage Day Saturday July 4th 2015
Hi everyone
Bodmin Riding and Heritage Day Saturday July 4th 2015.
Last Saturday the sun shone brightly on the celebrations taking place to mark Bodmin’s Riding and Heritage day. There was lots happening on Mount Folly and I was there with two members of staff from the Duchy Chiropractic Clinic enjoying the fun and talking to people about the treatments available at the clinic.
It was good to share how chiropractic treatments and homeopathy could help people improve their health and well being. There was lots of interest from people enjoying their day out and we welcome any one to the clinic who is interested in discovering the benefits of our therapies.
It was lovely to meet many new people and learning some of Bodmin’s history was a bonus. I had to leave before the beast was sighted but I do hope it all turned out well!
Bye for now

Listen to the messages are bodies are sending us...
Hi everyone
This week I have been reminded several times how important it is that we listen to the messages are bodies are sending us. I hear myself saying to people if we don’t listen to the messages then they will get more frequent and stronger in order to demand our attention. If we continue to ignore the warnings our bodies are sending then eventually we will be stopped by symptoms that just cannot be put to one side.
Why do we ignore what our bodies are telling us? Why do we
continue to do the things that we know are not good for us? Why do we take the
pain killers, the alcohol, the cure alls, instead of working out why we are
suffering and what we need to change to ease that pain, be it physical or
emotional? Why are we not listening to our inner guidance?
These are not questions that can be answered in a few moments,
but we do need to begin to address these fundamental issues if we are going to
be able to be healthier. Let’s not keep ignoring what our body is so desperate
to tell us.

We were thinking about change....
Hi everyone
We were thinking about change in the last blog and I would like to share a few more thoughts and ideas around the same theme this week. Change is definitely in the air as I write, it is chilly this morning and autumn is on its way.

We were thinking about change in the last blog and I would like to share a few more thoughts and ideas around the same theme this week. Change is definitely in the air as I write, it is chilly this morning and autumn is on its way.
The problem with major life change is that it creates a lot of
things that we don’t know about and the not knowing is scary, this is what
makes us anxious about change I think. Our brains also don’t like loss and
change can mean the loss of a loved one, loss of a job, loss of our home or
relationship, all very difficult to understand and take on board. We really
don’t like things we don’t understand and change brings many things that we
find it difficult to get a handle on.
Change is inevitable so how best to cope? Some very good
advice is to look at change as a positive thing rather than a negative, allow
ourselves to feel the stress but don’t stay with that feeling, don’t dwell.
Don’t fight the change. Try to see the change as a lesson, an opportunity and
remember that everything passes.
Finding a healthy way to deal with our feelings helps a lot. Exercise,
physical activity, yoga and meditation can all help us to feel better in
ourselves and help us see the change in a more positive frame of mind. Self
reflection time allows us to take a step back and see the possibilities the
change can offer, perhaps self growth, increased self awareness or being more
able to work in line with our purpose on the planet.
Scary at first, changes in life can’t be avoided so let’s try
to embrace them and find the positive. If we find that we are stuck in a
difficult place and the changes are just too overwhelming then have a word with
a homeopath. Homeopathy is very good when we become bogged down with emotion
and can’t find a way forward. Don’t let change get you down.

Approach of autumn...
Hi everyone
There are leaves on the paths in the park and there is a distinct chill in the air. Everything points to change for us all with the approach of autumn.

The children have gone back to school and families are
adjusting to the new school term. Students will be on their way to college and
university soon may be leaving an empty nest but certainly a big space in
family life. Change for everyone involved.
We all face change at some point in our life and how we deal
with that change can be very important for our health. I recently read a book
by Dr Spencer Johnson called ‘Who Moved My Cheese?’ subtitled ‘An Amazing Way
to Deal with Change in your Work and in your Life’. It only took about an hour
to read but within the story there are very helpful and useful ideas and tips
on how to approach and manage change.
Inability to adapt to change can cause health problems. If you
feel you need some help adapting to a new situation then don’t leave it too
long before you look for advice.
Check out next my blog next week where I will be putting
together a few ideas of how to deal with change. For homeopathic help if you
feel stuck give me a call 07967 276336.

Our bodies are truly amazing...
Hi everyone
Our bodies are truly amazing but it isn’t until they stop working, as well as we would like, that we take any time to notice how things are. Helen, a fitness instructor that I have known for many years, reminded me of this on Monday. As Helen says our bodies are the most amazing things that we will ever own and we need to pay them more attention.

Relaxation is a good time to tune in to what our body is
saying and if we do this regularly we will get to hear the messages we need to
hear and be able to respond. Oh no I hear you cry; I haven’t time to spend
relaxing that’s the last thing on my list! Well if you don’t spend some time
listening to your body it will just have to send you louder and louder messages
and eventually you will have to pay attention because things have become so bad
that you can’t function as you would wish. Then there will be more to be done
to fix things.
Let’s not get to the point where we have to stop because we
have missed all the clues. How about scheduling in a 20 minute relaxation
session once a week, actually put it in your diary and make sure you take the
time to nurture yourself.
The thing is this, if we are well then we can take care of all
the things we need to but if we are under par things become a struggle and take
us twice as long. We could have spent the time relaxing and listening and
prevented the struggle being necessary, relaxation is time well spent.

Homeopathy - Feel good inside and out...
Homeopathy
- Feel good inside and out
Homeopathy Awareness Week
14th-21st
June 2014
Did you know that skin is the largest organ in the body covering about two square metres in total? Skin plays a vital role in our overall well being, it not only protects us, keeps us warm, helps us to cool down and allows us to interact with the world, but it also shows how healthy we are on the inside.
Homeopathy is a complementary therapy that can be used to help with minor skin ailments for all the family.
Homeopathy Awareness Week, from June 14-21, will this year focus on this popular area and how homeopathy may play a part.
Working as a homeopath I find there is a great interest in holistic healthcare and skin complaints are one of if not the most common problems that patients seek homeopathic consultations for.1
I saw all sorts of skin complaints in my time as a pharmacist and this is also the case since I have become a homeopath. Skin conditions from acne, boils, eczema, psoriasis, urticaria, can be very unpleasant and difficult for people to cope with. I myself have struggled with skin complaints for a number of years and I find that homeopathy has offered me relief and help.
