| 'Products & Services to Uplift, Inspire & Enhance Your Life' | August 2010 |
I don't know about you, but there are so many days I set out with a plan, or at least an idea of all the things I am going to do in the day, only to discover at the end of it I am no where near it. There are so many opportunities available to us these days, it is very easy to become fragmented and lose focus and direction in terms of prioritising our time and energy. Even though I regularly 'check in' to maintain balance in my busy life, I am not always successful. Recently Jeffrey and I managed a weekend escapade to visit our friends on their beautiful farm in the country. The fresh air, open spaces and peacefulness of the country is like food for my soul. I love it. Before visiting with them I began to read a book my friend recommended so that I could discuss it with her during our visit (I always listen to her - she is like a guardian angel who seems to know just what I need at precisely the right time). The introduction goes like this... 'At what point did our lives become so busy? Australians are working the longest hours in the developed world. We spend much of our life in traffic or commuting. Even with both spouses working, record number of families have lost their homes in recent years, hit by years of high inflation and interest rate rises, then the global financial crisis. More than half of all workers say they are struggling to get by and obesity and depression are at epidemic levels.  We're so stressed we don't even have time for that most basic survival need: feeding ourselves properly. So we buy takeaway or zap something in the microwave.' The book is titled 'A Pressure Cooker Saved My Life' written by Juanita Phillips. As a frantically busy working mother the pressure cooker helped her solve one of the biggest problems - preparing healthy daily meals. It has now helped me to solve the same problem, and I am so very grateful for this book - preparing yummy, warm, healthy meals in minutes! I get so much joy from watching my family, tuck in to and enjoy a meal I make for them with love. Meals that used to take at least an hour or more. (8 of us!). I have been very wary of pressure cookers in the past, as images of my mum's soup dripping from the ceiling play out in my mind. (I have since discovered I am definitely not alone with my apprehension). Times have changed though, and so have pressure cookers! They don't blow up (really). After sharing the weekend with my friends, enjoying the warmth of their company, wholesome conversation and an abundance of home-cooked food made with love (in a pressure cooker) I became acutely aware of how precious these moments are and how essential it is to make time for them in our busy lives. I immediately went and bought myself a pressure cooker and got started that very night. I have been cooking up a storm! I can't wait to get home, put on my 'special ' apron, my daughter made for me at school, and cook up an amazing meal in minutes - 7-Minute Risotto for example!!! I love to bask in the family joy as we all congregate in the kitchen, enticed by the wonderful smells and togetherness. Like anything that adds more joy to my life - I just have to share it with you, so here I am.  I highly recommend the book, a pressure cooker and the simple things in life like a home-cooked yummy meal for the family with the chief ingredient being love. If you have some favourite pressure cooker recipes you would like to share, please add them to the discussion board on facebook. I would love to try them.

Lots of Love Sandra Garvey XXX Chronic Pain Management with Bowen Therapy  If you are in pain, chances are that you are not able to live your life and do the things you want to with ease and joy. Bowen Therapy provides a gentle but very effective way to release muscle, and realign your body. It stimulates fascia and the nervous system, meaning that it continues to work long after you leave the treatment table.Bowen Therapists believe the muscles hold the bones in position, and behind the tension is a complex grid of subconscious stress patterns that are held in the body. The gentle moves are performed on specific spots, usually where the influence on the nervous system is the greatest, so that it not only releases muscle but your body can drop underlying patterns and gently go back to how it should be. Chronic pain is defined as pain that is experienced for 6 weeks or more. In my treatment room, I find that most people require an initial 3 sessions for chronic issues. Most people feel substantial relief even after the first session and feel quite balanced after the third. Some people require ongoing treatment once a month or so. Most people continue coming for well being and maintenance long after the condition subsides, just because they enjoy it!  Bowen Therapy is a complementary modality which means, that if you wish to continue to see your physiotherapist or chiropractor, it will enhance, not interfere with their treatment, however I recommend having a week gap after your Bowen treatment, so it can do its job.Make the move... Align yourself with Bowen. Call Tanu, our certified and registered Bowen Therapist. Message from Ruzena - Clairvoyant & Psychic Medium  At this time, many are in a place of crisis and have exhausted all avenues for answers.
Inside your being is a place where your answers reside—where your Divine Source lives. Yet, it can be challenging to find the part of yourself that is connected to your Divine Source. Sometimes on this inner journey it is helpful to have someone accompany you, especially if you feel confused, lost, stuck, depressed, or hopeless.If you have had a major life change and don’t understand what is happening in your life, there is a reason why this is occurring. If you or your loved ones have a serious illness or emotional problem, healing is possible. The answers and healings lie within. The inner journey to your Divine Source attracts the help you seek. In this outer hectic world of change, the Centre for Christ Consciousness opens you to the place inside your being of stability, comfort, and peace. Here you receive help to establish a new inner reality; one where you sense your Divine Source who fills you with a great feeling of self-awareness, acceptance, and confidence. The concept of Christ Consciousness is truly an exquisite one. In essence it means to see the world through the heart/mind of GOD, to refrain from all judgements whatsoever, remaining in a perpetual state of unconditional love and always choosing love over fear. In truth, however, there are many subtle nuances contained within this simply stated explanation. There is also the fact, that although almost every single light worker would like to be operating out of Christ consciousness, one must be extremely "vigilant for GOD and His Kingdom".  With All My love to those who are in a dark place at this time, you are not alone. The planet is in transition and we must be kind to it and ourselves.LOVE AND DELIGHT, Ruzena X Ruzena is available for Readings. Contact us for more information. Message from Jan - Massage Therapist Hello everyone,  It’s been so nice getting to know many of you at the Yes 2 Life Centre.
Some people have been asking me to explain the kind of massage I do, so here is a bit of information.I am often asked whether I get sick of massage and does it tire me? If you are doing what you love it’s never boring. I find human beings fascinating and never tire of finding out how we work. I work intuitively and my work is holistic in the sense that I can often help to clear emotional and physical stress from your body. I use hot stones therapeutically to release tension, especially from the lower back. When you see me for a massage you will get my complete attention and time and I also provide you with a free initial consultation to find out what your primary needs are. Massage is one of the very best ways to maintain our inner and outer body and mind. It actually seems to reset the metabolic clock! Above all, it is an opportunity for you to release and chill out; so very important for your mental and physical health. A Little Tip: When you come for your massage, please try to schedule it on a day when you haven’t got too much to do. It’s wise to make the most of your newly relaxed state.  It might be a good time to get someone else to cook or even to get Take Aways!!
How good is that?See you soon at Yes 2 Life, from Jan. Jan Clarke is available for Myo Massage & Deep Tissue Massage. Jan & Eugene are both offering FREE 10-minute introductory sessions.

A Message from Eugene - Transpersonal Therapist  Winter is a time when we go inwards, it's a time of reflection, a time when we digest all that has occurred in our lives through the more outward phases of the year. In the American Indian traditions Winter is in the North on the medicine wheel and resides in the place of Bear. Bear represents hybernation, digestion, reflection, and a time to 'collect ourselves'. As the sun climbes higher and the weather becomes warmer we begin to wake up from our 'sleep' we stretch and look out from our caves and consider what seeds we are going to sew for the coming season....Spring! My question is, what seeds are you going to choose to plant in your garden? The same ones as last year, in the same place? Or is this a time to plant something quite different? Sometimes we play it safe and continue to make the same choices, however sometimes this is not the best choice for our growth....In fact just like the plants in our garden it's not advantageous to plant seeds in the same place every year, if we do this the crop is poor and lacking in nutrients. It may also be necessary to do some weeding! Weeding out some of those old ideas and beliefs, turning over that soil and deciding what serves and what doesn't! So is this a time to consider what seeds you would like to plant in your Spring Garden? Where will these seeds gain the most nutrients? You may even need some companion plants in order to get all the nutrients you need. We are not meant to do everything alone, it's all about balance. My wish is that your seeds in your 'Inner Garden' will blossom, that your garden will reap wonderful rewards.....and have you heard about the no dig method?  Know that it doesn't have to be hard there is so much good information out there that makes growing so much easier than you think!With Love and Gratitude, Eugene Eugene Chattelle is available for Transpersonal Therapy, Art Therapy and Consulting. Now offering 30-minute appointments for only $30.00 (half the normal fee!). Contact us for more information.   Aquamarine is a gemstone that carries a reputation for its beauty. Named for its colour (the term “aquamarine” is Latin for sea water), its literal aqua-marine shade of blue or green has earned it a place of esteem in the gemstone world. In fact, aquamarine comes from a family background of some exalted gems and enjoys not only a place of respect because of its beauty, but also because of its impressive metaphysical properties.Aquamarine is said to be very beneficial for married couples. It helps husband and wife to work out their differences and to maintain harmony, integrity and happiness in a long and fulfilling marriage. It is also suggested that similar benefits in business relationships can be enjoyed. The energy of aquamarine is one of gentle force and form combined. It is a dynamic energy yet structured, bringing order and balance to projects that may otherwise be overwhelming. It is a great friend in learning, fortifying the intellect, accelerating intellectual reasoning and strengthening one through knowledge, as it enables one to delve deep into a subject and work through all the related complex issues while keeping them ordered, facilitating easier interpretation. For the spiritual seeker it supports the journey inward, providing the emotional and intellectual stability required to peel away the layers of emotional baggage, prejudices and value judgements that keep us from our higher selves.  Aquamarine, which helps us to be so thorough in our search for knowledge, makes us accountable and impeccable. The lessons we learn about our environment and ourselves cultivate both foresight and insight, making us prepared for anything. But it's energy is a gentle one, promoting tolerance and compassion toward others and inspiring us to perfect our world. Aquamarine activates and cleanses the throat chakra, facilitating communication of a higher quality. It has been used as a treatment for swollen glands, to improve eyesight, and maintain healthy teeth and bones. It has also been credited with curing hiccups and insomnia. Contact us
