How Does Magnet Healing Work?

There are two main ways that magnets can be used to speed recovery from injury and ill health. Magnets can either be placed directly on the body at the pain point or surround the body to improve the flow of blood to all areas.

By using magnet healing on specific points a whole range of common ailments can be treated such as back pain, sciatica, arthritis, rheumatism and sports injuries.

When the magnet is placed on and around the affected area any soft tissue will lengthen and help to relax the ligament or muscle that has been damaged or traumatised. Usually an injured site on the body, whether it be a sports injury or arthritis, is surrounded by swelling and inflammation. When a magnet is placed on the area and the muscle and tissue relaxes the blood flow that has been blocked from the damaged site is then allowed in and the body can start its own healing.

This means the body then ‘kick starts’ its own beta-endorphin (pain relieving) system.

The second way that magnets can be used on the body is to generally improve the flow of blood around the whole body. This is achieved when the molecules in the blood react to the magnetic energy field produced by the magnets.

If you have any complaint that you think Peta Gelder may be able to help you with please contact her on 07736 929614 or email her on healthful.healing@yahoo.co.uk

Magnets encourage healing in such a wonderfully dramatic way. Why not see if it could work for you. What have you got to loose .…..

Magnet Healing

Magnet Healing is quietly finding its place in the world of complimentary medicine again when it comes to treating lower back pain and other musculoskeletal problems such as rheumatism and arthritis.

Often, when Peta Gelder our Magnet Therapist, places her little golden magnets on the affected area, and releases her healing energy,  relief can be obtained within minutes.

If this cold and damp weather is bringing out the aches and pains in you, why not book a healing session to see if the magnets can bring about a change for you.

You may just be surprised.

For further information or to book a session why not contact her on 07736 929614 or email healthful.healing@yahoo.co.uk with any questions you may have.

 

Best to be Prepared

There will be a period of about eight difficult days per month from January to June 2012. Many of us will tend to feel very irritable and blocked and stirred up. Our minds could feel fraught or troubled.
This will particularly be the case if we have planets in the western astrology signs Virgo, Libra, Scorpio and Sagittarius. These are the Vedic Astrology signs of Leo, Virgo, Libra and Sagittarius.
The reason for this is that there is a chain of three malefics occupying these signs until June (at least). Mars is at 22 western Virgo; Saturn is at 29 western Libra and the North Node of the Moon (Rahu) is in western Sagittarius.

Each of these three malefics will disturb the Moon as it passes through the malefic-occupied signs. The Moon is our consciousness and state of mind (among other things). Hence full moon lunatics and huge tides in the ocean. Mars will bring aggression to our minds or irritation. Saturn will bring pessimism, restriction and separation and hard learning. The North Node (Rahu) will bring psychic turbulence and torsions and driven ambitions/obsessions.

Below is a western astrology chart for 18^th January showing the danger phase of eight days the Moon’s monthly path round the heavens drawn in. In the top right is inset the Vedic astrology chart.

Here are the danger dates:
January 12^th to 19^th
February 8^th to 16^th
March 7^th to 15^th
April 3^rd to 11^th
April 30^th to May 7^th
May 28^th to June 5^th
June 24^th to July 2^nd.

Of course there is ‘divine learning’ in all these challenges, as in everything, if we can find it. The good meaning to be found is (a) to learn to channel our aggressions into useful directed energy; (b) to learn to cope with restrictions with perseverance and steady patience, and (c) to learn not to get sucked into negativity, dark stuff or obsession. Easier said than done! But it’s helpful; to be warned so we can understand the challenge better.

Herbalism – The Happiness Centre is fortunate to host the work of Nick Hudis: distinguished regional and international herbalist. Nick is also an expert on Natural Virility treatments for men, as well as tuina and lomi lomi massage.
Herbalism can be the right choice for you when you want a natural, holistic approach to health or conventional treatment has not helped, or if you want support for chronic or long term issues. Although herbal remedies are available in shops or on line, choice is limited by EC regulations, quality can vary enormously and available information is often confusing and contradictory. By far the best way to take advantage of the power of herbs is by consultation with a qualified, professional herbal practitioner.
Treatment Plan
‘When we meet, I will take the time to really understand you and your health. Only then will I blend an individual, personal remedy for you that is safe and effective as well as suggesting key supplements and dietary/life style strategies. Above all I will be there for you when you need me to provide on going holistic care. A 4-month intensive course of treatment including initial consultation, three follow up consultations, dietary/ lifestyle coaching and supply herbal products is usual with further treatment on a month-by-month basis if needed.
I only use products from recognized market leaders in the supply of scientifically tested, quality assured, and usually organic herbal extracts. I believe these are simply the best herbal materials available. These liquid and powder extracts are easy to take, highly absorbable and very potent.’
Nick Hudis has been a bodyworker and herbalist for nearly twenty years, with busy practices in the North East andYorkshire. Alongside his clinical work he is in demand as a teacher: he has his own massage training programme, is a tutor at the Northern College of Acupuncture and runs regular seminars in theUKandEurope.

I have done every diet you could possibly think of yes I have lost the weight, but as with all dieting you start and there is always an end which then means weight gain especially for me!!!With the mindful eating it has been life changing to say the least!.I know what it’s like to be out of control with your eating to emotionally eat when happy, sad, angry do I have still have these days yes!

Nutritional Therapy, An Introduction.

How can science, when applied to your diet enhance your general wellbeing? Learn how, and discover the ways it may address specific health issues in an introductory workshop on 25th January 2012, 7:30pm at the Happiness Centre.

Nutritional Therapy is an individual-centred approach to healthcare, applying science to nutrition with the aim of promoting health and wellbeing. It uses dietary assessment to identify potential nutritional imbalances, and how these imbalances may contribute to certain symptoms.

The main objective of Nutritional Therapy is to achieve wellbeing and good health by balancing and maintaing the function, structure and energy processes of the body. This approach recognizes that diet and lifestyle are among the principle components of achieving and maintaining optimal health. 

Nutrition and lifestyle approaches to healthcare have been shown to support the health of all the major body systems; skeletal, muscular, nervous, respiratory, cardiovascular, digestive, endocrine, excretory, immune, reproductive and integumentary. Typical priorities in a nutritional therapy consultation are support to achieve optimal energy levels, healthy blood sugar balance, emotional and psychological wellbeing, optimum gastrointestinal health and tolerance to a broad range of food groups. 

In an introductory talk to Nutritional Therapy, Becky Davies-Downes will explain how diet influences your wellbeing, and how Nutritional Therapy may be applied to promote optimum health.

LOVE ASTROLOGY: THIS IS A CROSSROADS TIME FOR RELATIONSHIPS

If one relationship is strained it will affect others too. A distorted relationship gives rise to aggressiveness, arrogance or cruelty, or even escalates to psychological imbalances and certainly affects those around us. So all relationships are important. Vedic astrology, the astrology ofIndia, has an ancient and very accurate and easy to grasp astrology of relationships. It very clearly states and evaluates the strengths or weaknesses of any relationship.

Now is a crossroads time for all relationships.

Firstly, this is partly because Mars is transiting through the Vedic sign of Leo for an exceptionally long period from Nov 1st 2011 to 22nd June 2012. Those with key planets in Vedic Leo may have become very aggressive since November. There may have been harsh actions or destruction. But Mars goes Retrograde (has backwards direction) in the heavens from 24th January to 14th April. This will give us a time to reflect on the way we are using our Mars – and prepare for the months after that when Mars goes Direct again! Maybe we will handle our Mars energies better? Corrective experiences! Evaluations! Mending relationships! What have you destroyed? Better insights! Or maybe you have been strengthening your relationship through arguing and stress: sorting out the issues?!? Have you learned to avoid sharp speech?

Secondly, this is a good time to focus on relationships because Saturn has entered the Vedic sign of Libra from mid November 2011 to end 2014. Libra is the sign of relationships. Saturn wants to preserve relationships, so he will bring us hard learning about strengthening our relationships. Lots of hard relationship lessons ahead (and good times for romance as well, later on in the year, though: watch this spot!) Saturn in Libra calls us to commitment!

LOVE ASTROLOGY: Do you need to apologise???

MARS: The aggressive planet of Mars is now transiting through the sign of Leo in the Vedic Chart. This can endanger loving relationships. 

Leo is a strong sign and this can lead to fiery actions, arguing and destructive speech. This is especially true if you have malefic planets in the Vedic sign of Leo such as Mars or Saturn – or Pluto or Uranus of course. But it’s also true if you have Mercury there in your Vedic birth chart, or even if you have no planets in the Vedic sign of Leo.

You may therefore need to apologise now for what you said or did.

There is potential now for big improvements in the way you speak or the way you react to or handle people, and for the way you understand and handle your more aggressive principles or patterns or ways of speaking or behaving.

Remember, Mars is in this area of the chart, on and off, for a long time – certainly up to June 2012.

Secondly: SATURN AND VENUS: The call to love is actually very great now. This is because Saturn is in the Vedic sign of Libra (Saturn entered Libra in mid November 2011, and stays there for two and a half years) and Venus is in the Vedic sign of Capricorn. The point is this: As Venus is in a sign ruled by Saturn and as Saturn is in a sign ruled by Venus, this is a call to sober commitment in love and to fair balance in relationships. Saturn is about responsibility, karma, hard lessons and limitations or separation; Venus is about enjoyment, love and sex.

In fact the whole two-and-a-half-year transit of Saturn through Libra will be calling us to make our relationships fairer and more balanced. There is potential for big improvements in our relationships, now and for the next couple of years – a special focus!!

We are now called to let go of patterns and scripts that harm our relationships – our love relationships and, indeed, any relationship. All of our relationships affect everyone else. If you have a bad relationship with someone, it colours your consciousness and your whole life, and everyone else whom you deal with!

Please do note this: Basically it is true to say that Vedic Astrology speaks the truth more clearly and powerfully about relationships and lives than does western astrology.

TECHNICAL BITS: Now, to conclude: for the more technically minded, here is the Vedic astrology chart for the moment which shows what I am talking about:

Vedic Chart for 15.07 hrs on Thursday 22^nd December 2011:

 

 

 

PISCES	ARIES   Ascendant	TAURUS   Ketu (South Node) 19 Taurus	GEMINI
AQUARIUS			CANCER
CAPRICORN			LEO Mars 23 Leo
SAGITTARIUS Sun 6 Sag	SCORPIO Moon 6 Scorp	LIBRA	VIRGO

 

You can see that Venus is in Vedic Capricorn ruled by Saturn, and that Saturn is in Vedic Libra ruled by Venus. Venus and Saturn are therefore in a condition called ‘mutual exchange’.

Note that Mars as at the end of Vedic Leo, but Mars will soon retrograde and go through Leo again, and then for a second time in the Summer. Take heed of this advice if you need to!!

(Please Note: this chart is drawn using the sidereal zodiac of Vedic Astrology. The sidereal zodiac is 24 degrees different from the tropical zodiac of Western Astrology. The Vedic chart is very powerful; it is anchored to a fixed star and depicts why we are here and the circumstances we will come across in our life. The western chart uses the Tropical Zodiac which moves a degree every 72 years and is based on the ever-moving position of the sun on the first day of Spring. Because the western astrology zodiac is a solar zodiac and moves every year, Vedic astrologers say it is more limited than the Sidereal Zodiac they use, and that the western zodiac, being solar is more limitedly about our ‘egoic’ personalities, whereas the Vedic chart powerfully declares spiritual and material truths).
