Allergy Testing and Elimination NAET

NAET is an Allergy Testing and Elimination technique which can have incredible results.  It works on the body's energies, teaching the nervous system how to respond appropriately to allergens.  For example, my youngest son had bad hay fever symptoms.  When tested using NAET, he reacted badly to pollens and plastics.  The NAET protocol allows his immune system to recognise pollens and plastics as energies that will no longer trouble him.  After approx. 15 treatments he is 90% better.

If you suffer symptoms such as respiratory disorders, headaches, fatigue, emotional imbalance, muscle and joint pains, PMS, digestive disorders or other ongoing health issues you may discover that they are due to allergies.  Give me a call on 07817959161 and let's see if I can help.  I am in the Bedfordshire area.

Got allergies?  Get NAET!

Well Being Road Show Milton Keynes

I have recently met an interesting and dynamic Coach called Karrin Lawrence.  Karrin attended my yoga class in Milton Keynes and then asked me if I would be interested in working with her on a Well Being Road Show (website coming soon.)  The theme of the event would be to offer bite size one hour sessions of ways to improve your emotional and physical well being.  I loved the idea of the Road Show.  Holistic, fun, informative and way to meeting others who are interested in taking their lives to the next step.  We are still in the planning stages, but I will tell you more as things move along.

In the meantime let me tell you a bit more about my new coaching friend.

Karrin has created an expert (Audio) Coaching CD series.  Each CD is written and recorded by a Coaching in their field, which for me is the exciting part.  The CDs cover the areas of spirituality, family, educatin, work and career, relationships, personal development, health and fitness and fun and recreation.  The titles include:

The Be Happy Coach; The Coaching Children for Parents Coach; The Public Speaking Coach; The Self Belief Coach; The New Managers Coach; The Revision Coach; The Birthing Coach; The Discover your Excellence Coach and The Dating Coach. 

Take a look at Karrin's website www.thecoachcollection.com to find out how you can buy the CD to change your life!

Global warming - there is hope!

I don't know about you but sometimes I wonder why I open a newspaper.  Every day there is a story about how we won't be able to feed ourselves, or our homes will be worthless, that is if they are not washed away by floods! No wonder depression and anxiety in the western world is at an all time high!

Anyway, my good friend Claire Raikes www.businessblogangel.com and I had a chat about all this global warming stuff tonight.  We both believe that there is some out of the box thinking that needs to be done. Fortunately there are those who are doing it...

This week the Daily Telegraph ran another doom and gloom story on how we are going to feed ourselves.  I don't know why I read it as these things usually depress me, but I am glad that I did.  At the end of the article there was a ray of hope provided by Dr. Richard Murphy and his research team from Plant Sciences in Imperial College London. They are busy working away at the idea of producing fuel from waste and woody crops that are grown on marginal land, Africa being an idea location, and I quote " this fuel could be as cheap as chips".  Hurrah for Dr. Murphy and his team!

For me the important thing about this story is that despite what the newspapers and media keep telling us there are undoubtedly many clever people like Dr. Murphy who are beavering away and who WILL come up with at least one answer and I believe that the best way to help them is to keep our belief in them strong and stop listening to those who tell us that we are all doomed!

I am very interested to hear from anyone else who is on the path of new, planet enhancing sources of energy that would be available cheaply to all.

PS If there is anyone out there who writes for newspapers please could we have some cheerful stuff on a regular basis?

Negotiating a win-win solution

Suppose you are going to enter into an important negotiation in your life.  Perhaps you've spotted the home of your dreams.  How can NLP help you to get the best deal when you're confronted by an estate agent pushing you to buy the new house at the highest rate while selling your current one as low as possible?  By giving you principles and strategies you can use to everybody's advantage.  Those same principles apply if you're negotiating for a job, buying a car, hiring contract staff at work or allocating jobs to your teenage sons (that's me again!).

• Go for the positive outcome - begin with your desired result in mind.  Talk in positive language.  Always focus on what you want rather than what you don't want. 
• Engage your senses - make your outcome more specific by noticing what it will look like, sound like, and feel like when you have achieved a successful negotiation. 
• Note down your criteria or hot buttons - focus on five key elements that are important to you in making the move.  Put them in order of priority and keep returning to them to check you are getting what you want.

Creating Rapport

Rapport is important in every sphere of our lives.  Pretty much whatever we want to achieve is going to need us being able to gain co-operation from others.  Anything from negogiating with your teenage sons (that's where I'm at right now!) to finding yourself business partners; clients; the best seat in a restaurant; you name it and you will be more successful with good rapport building skills!  I personally think communication skills can be more important than a list of qualifications in gaining career success.

3 quick ways to sharpen your rapport:

1.  Take a genuine interest in getting know what's important to the other person.  Start to understand them rather than expecting them to understand you first.

2.  Pick up on the key words, favourite phrases, and way of speaking that someone uses and build these subtly into your own conversation.

3.  Notice how someone likes to handle infomration.  Do they like lots of details or just the big picture?  As you speak, feed back information in this same portion size.

Happiness at work

Can you have happiness at work?  Now, before you answer, take a few moments to really really consider your reply.  There are those who would immediately respond, no way, work sucks, can't wait for Friday, wnt to win the lottery and give up work. But have they thought through what the benefits of work are?   

I know people who find it very difficult to work through ill health.  Consequently they miss out on:

• having a reason to get up in the morning
• having social interaction, just the general chit chat that goes with being with work colleagues
• self-esteem - it is great when someone tells you that you are really making a difference to the team; workplace; sales results etc
• 70% people meet their life partner through work

Please add to this list and let me know what you would miss by not being at work...

This of course is all a case of Attitude (which is just a collection of thoughts).  If you are struggling with my ideas here, just take a step back and reconsider the way you look at work.  Of course if it still sucks, then what are the options open to you?  That's a list for another day!

Take a look at another blog to enhance your thinking on this subject http://positivesharing.com/ct .  Back to work for me, yippee!

Taking Control of your mind

Taking control of how you feel is so so much easier said than done, that is for most of us mere mortals!  I can remember times when my mind would be whizzing about in all directions, trying to get stuff down and never getting everything done that I wanted to.  Notice the language there, that I 'wanted' to.  Not that I 'needed' to.  How many of us fall into that trap?  We create lists of stuff that we think we 'should' do.  So what would happen if it didn't get done, or at least if we just put it on tomorrow's list?  Probably the world would not end.  So that busy busy mind, how do we take control? How do we stop creating manic lists, piling jobs onto us? How do we 'stop' the mind?

Well some of you will know that I wear another hat, that of a Yoga Instructor. In yoga, we believe that the mind is totally connected to the body, in that memory can be in every cell of your body. You know that because when you just think a very fearful thought, your tummy can churn, your palms go clammy, you break out in a sweat.  However, there are ways to 'still' the mind and the body will respond by being calm and in balance. The label meditation can be attached to this process.  But I have lost count of the number of people who tell me that they can't meditate. So again,  the language we use can trigger strong feelings and reaction. Anyway, it is amazing how many 'illnesses' in the shape of aches and pain can be eliminated by letting go of that busy mind.  When the mind is in a relaxed state then the body will be too.  Of course the key is regular practice but you can experience a wonderful feeling of peace after just one session of a few minutes.  Please don't take my word for it! You will only find out for sure if it works if you do it...  To find out exactly how I teach this go to www.yoga4healthyliving.com.  and read more on this subject at http://lifecoachesblog.com/2008/01/24/the-simplest-way-to-take-back-control-of-your-mind/.
