Hormones, Hypnobirthing, Pets as Therapy - Total Vitality 6-Sept-10

Hello!


Thanks for dropping by :)
This past week has been crazy busy for me - trying to do way too many things at once!


I did have my first NLP/hypnosis session which was fabulous and I look forward to getting some more breakthroughs and clearing some patterns again on Tuesday.
We'll discuss this type of therapy in a future show!


I've also been learning a lot more about stress and the myths surrounding stress and how we can completely control our own perception of how our lives are and our reaction to everything. Therefore, nothing external from us is "stressful" or a "stressor" - it is our perception and our reaction to a situation that will prove to create stress or not. So, be aware of how you are reacting today! :)


The first SNACK BITE this week is something i've been wanting to try for a while and after doing my research on it this week, i've convinced myself I need to try it! The other is a yummy seed that i've been using a lot more in recent months. I hope you enjoy! Download the FACT SHEETS below:

This week, Narelle expands further on hormones and the role they play in our health and weight. Hormones can play a big role in thyroid function, oestrogen dependence, insulin resistance and adrenal burnout. In this interview Narelle touches on some of these problems and in future programs, we will discuss each of the above conditions in more detail.

Health Equals Vitality

About 6 weeks ago when I first started Total Vitality in the Sutherland Shire, I read an article about women who have experienced much calmer, trouble-free pregnancies and labour through the use of Hypnobirthing. I managed to get in touch with Emma Sutherland who holds hypnobirthing classes in Sydney and works with women and their partners through their pregnancy, teaching them skills and techniques of relaxation. Fear equals pain and so with the absence of fear and by having a calm and relaxed state of mind, being completely in control, women have experienced less pain and more ease throughout their pregnancy and birth. 
Today Emma fills us in on what exactly is hypnobirthing.

Like many people, I love animals - of all different shapes and sizes, and know for myself that spending time with my cats and other animals brings me so much joy and can completely lift my mood! Many years ago I found out about Velma's Pets as Therapy and decided that when I had room for more animals, especially dogs, I'd volunteer at Velma's. As it has now been proved that animals are fantastic for our health, I wanted to have Velma on the program to tell you herself about the great benefits of owning a pet and spending time with animals.
