Welcome

Isn't life funny?

Although we say we don't like being labelled, we do label ourselves. We say we're introverted or extroverted. We're middle class or blue collar.

And then there are the labels put on us by the gurus of corporate team building or sales training. These range from letters that represent whether you're an INTP or ESFJ (introvert/intuitive/ thinker/perceiver or extrovert/sensor/feeler/judger) to color labels that tell you whether you're a green/blue or a gold/orange (sensitive individualist or structured entrepreneur).

Then of course you could be a Leo or Virgo, or a 3 or an 8 -- depending on whether you're labelling by astrology or numerology.

Is it hogwash? I dunno. Some of it certainly helps categorize our tendencies, but ultimately, we're all different. We all have different motivations at different times, which are all driven by our different subconscious patterns, which have been programmed by our different beginnings.

We are all extraordinary and gifted in our own special way. And each of us has our story to tell. As we write our life story, day by day, in everything we say and do, it's worth remembering how special we are, and how blessed that we have been given this opportunity to choose the life we live. Each one different, each one a gift.

Take this month to honour yourself and who you truly are.

Namaste,
Georgina

Why Hypnosis Works for Stopping Smoking
by Dr. Georgina Cannon

One of the questions asked most frequently by the media is why hypnosis works so well for smoking cessation. The answer, if you think about it, is really simple.

Every single one of our habits -- the way we walk, the way we talk, the way we use our hands when we talk, the way we play golf or tennis, the way we brush our teeth or drive a car -- is locked in the subconscious mind.

Anything we do repeatedly becomes a habit. A habit is something that is performed unconsciously, that is, we don't think about it when it's happening. And when the 'it' we don't think about is smoking or overeating, we need to access the subconscious mind to change the pattern. That is accomplished by using hypnosis to bypass the conscious mind and access the subconscious mind.

However, unlike many other habits, for a successful 'stop smoking' program, we need to know a couple of things ahead of time.

First, on a scale of 1 - 10 (with 10 being the highest) how much do you really want to quit? We need to hear at least 8, otherwise it won't work. Not even hypnosis can get you to change a habit you don't want to change!

When we get an 8 or higher, we then ask when you started smoking. We need this information because the initial drivers of the habit are different. If you started at a very young age, say 8 to 13, then the driver is what is called modelling. If the smoking started from 12 or 13 to around 20, then it's a tribal driver. After the age of 20, the initial driver is usually social.

We treat each driver differently. Other considerations are how much you smoke in a day, your personal triggers for smoking, and whether you want to quit immediately or take your time over three or four weeks.

Every person is different, every smoking habit is different, and each one needs to be treated differently and respectfully.

But, and it's a big but (or should that be butt?), hypnosis only works if you want it to work. Hypnosis allows your conscious decision to quit to be matched and balanced by a subconscious change in your thinking patterns. With hypnosis, the change process of quitting is smoother, less disruptive and more permanent.

A customized smoking cessation process coupled with the understanding and cooperation of the client and hypnotherapist results in success about 95% of the time. Success means you receive the gift of being smoke-free for life. That's the reason hypnosis works for smoking cessation!

Your Water, Your Body, Your Health
by Colleen Evans

 
Do you ever experience any of the following?
  • Daily battles with the 3pm blahs
  • Stiff and sore joints
  • Heartburn or indigestion
  • Headaches
  • Asthma
  • Irritability
  • Skin problems such as acne, excema, roseaca or psoriasis
I bet you didn't realize that relief could be as close as your next drink of water -- if you are drinking healthy water that is.

So what is healthy water?

Healthy water is the basis of life as we know it. It plays an important role in the balance and health of your body.

We know that the body needs more than just pure "crystal clear" water. Truly healthy water has a perfect acid-alkaline balance (a.k.a. pH balance) and contains the vital minerals and oxygen that our bodies require. Drinking healthy water, which is easily absorbed and recognized by the body, will lighten your physical stress load and support your health in so many ways.

As we know, the best way to prevent, treat and, in many cases, cure illness is to give your body the right tools and let it go to work. Healthy water is one of the most important tools. With a proper intake of healthy water that contains the right minerals and nutrients, your body can overcome almost anything.

Be informed about your drinking water quality. Much of our municipal water filtration has proven to be deficient. Also adding to the mix of uncertainty is that the bottled water industry is not regulated, meaning that no one is ensuring its safety. For those of use who want to be sure of the quality of the water we drink, there are so many water treatment / filtration systems available today that it can be confusing. It is important to be informed and ask questions so that we protect our health, and the health of our family and pets.

Cheers! To your health!

Colleen Evans is a Certified Wellness Home Consultant and Certified Homeopath who has done extensive research into drinking water quality.
