1The holistic approach

FORGIVE

But don’t forget! Anger

and hate hurt only the

person feeling those

emotions and have no

effect whatsoever on

the person they are

directed at. It is an act

of love for yourself to

find the courage to

forgive, so think about

doing it for you because

you are worth the love

and compassion. This

does not mean you

forget, or that you

would put yourself in

the same situation

again or allow the

same person to

disrespect you again,

you can even remove

yourself from them

completely but it does

mean you value

yourself more.

2There is no such thing as perfection,it does not exist, it is not attainable,so why set yourself up for needlessheartache and pressure?

So long as we know we have donethe best we can with the toolsavailable to us at the time - whatmore can we expect of ourselves?

Perfection implies failure, when intruth there is no failure only valuablefeedback. Instead give yourselfcredit for what you did do, for whatyou have achieved.

PERFECTIONwho needsit?

Living in the

moment is the

only way to

ensure your

emotional

happiness.

Failure in the

past is not the

end, view it as a

learning

opportunity and

move on, you are

not defined by

your past.

Worrying about

the future merely

erodes your

happiness in the

now and has zero

effect on the

outcome.

4 CHOICE

5LOVE

Do you believe

what and how you

think and feel is out

of your control? Think again! We all have a choice to act

subconsciously or consciously, by taking control of your

mind and your emotions you cease to be a slave to them

and become more emotionally intelligent. NLP is a great

tool to use to ‘train your brain’.

Love really does make the worldgo around but it doesn’t have to

mean romantic love. Studieshave shown that a hug is healthyfor mind and body, human touchand contact is vitally important

to us as a species. Humans

have an innate need to gathertogether, we have a herd

mentality, Therefore spendingtime with people who care aboutus makes us healthier. In person

works better than by phone,internet and text so arrange to

meet that friend you haven’t seenfor a while. Even a pet can fill the

void, hug your furry friend andhappy hormones enter the

bloodstreamPhotographs: freedigitalphotos.net - stockimages / dan / photostock

6 FOCUS

8NO!

Psychologists report that people thattake responsibility for their lives, theirissues and their problems are happierthan those who don’t. Acceptingresponsibility is the first step tofinding a solution because it faces aproblem ‘head on’ rather than stayingstuck in denial.

When we take responsibility forourselves and our actions we actuallygain power rather than giving ourpower away by blaming other peopleor circumstances outside of ourcontrol. That doesn’t mean acceptingresponsibility for something youhaven’t done, rather owningresponsibility for working theproblem!

Emotionally intelligent

people (and those

with good self-

esteem) only say YES

when they really want

to. Learn how to say

NO without it blighting

your life with ‘what ifs’

and you’ll be happier.

RESPONSIBILITY 7For more information join

our Facebook Group

We live in an ‘energetic’ universe

where thoughts really do shape reality.

What we think of the most (ie what we

dwell on or worry about) becomes our

reality, whatever is front and centre of

our mind and our thoughts for most of

the time is what we experience and we

become. Emotionally intelligent people

focus on what they DO want rather

than what they DON’T want - this is a

powerful way to shape your own

experiences and send positive

affirmations out to the universe.

Do you have a child

with Dyslexia?

PAGE 10

Do you have a child

with Dyslexia?

PAGE 11

Do you have a child with Dyslexia? I do! From the

day my youngest son was born he was “different”from his 3 siblings, often you couldn’t put a finger on

why, he just was!

He would play differently, bricks were sorted into

colours and sizes before he would start to build with

them, and he had an amazing imagination, but was

slow to talk and had difficulty with speech. He saw a

speech pathologist who said that it was developmental

delay but he would improve with age. His intelligence

was never in question; he was very smart just slow at

some things.

We noticed that he had trouble following instructions if

they were too complicated, everything had to be

broken down so he could process it. A long list of

instructions just ended with him doing the first and the

last thing - the bits in the middle were completely lost!

When he started school he learnt to read some very

basic words in the lower level books, which had a

sentence per page, but when the books had more

sentences he got lost and missed out great chunks of

words. He hated homework, refused to read to us and

started to act out at school and at home! He became

the class clown, now we know it was his way of

coping and drawing people away from his problems.

Dyslexia Awareness Month

PAGE 12

He has always been good with his hands and can build or fix things

really well. The real crux came when he started to say, “I’m just

DUMB, that’s why I can’t read and write!!” We knew he wasn’t

“dumb”.

I approached the teachers with the suggestion he may be Dyslexicbut they didn’t seem concerned and unfortunately Queensland

(Australia) Education don’t specifically test for Dyslexia and we

had to go privately.

$550 later and 3 hours of testing showed he was above averageintelligence, had Dyslexia, Dysgraphia and some Dyscalculia.

He had some visual problems but his main problem was on the

auditory processing side.

Once he was diagnosed, things improved immensely, he now knew

why he struggled, and he knew he wasn’t dumb, just had a

different way of learning.

We have never let him use it as an excuse for not doing his work;

he still sits the national exams and has to do all his homework. He

is at high school now and has extra help with literacy and

numeracy and although he still has problems he is a much happier

child.

Computers have been a great help as he can type out his

assignments so they are legible, and spell check is a godsend!

It is also interesting to note that Dyslexics are right brained,

whereas most education systems are geared to teaching left

brained people. People with dyslexia are often gifted in

mathematics and mechanical abilities, they are great at problem

solving as they find it easier to see ‘the bigger picture’ and can

visualise how things fit together.

Whilst they may have difficulty reading, they usually have sound

verbal and people skills as well as being ‘spatially aware’ which is a

rare gift. They are also usually highly

creative people and are good at

practical skills that require working with

their hands. Dyslexia is not laziness,

lack of intelligence or even rare, indeed

some very famous people were and are

dyslexic including Apple founder Steve

Jobs, the great Albert Einstein, actress

Keira Knightley and American president

John F Kennedy.

Dyslexics learn differently but generally

are of above average intelligence but

because of the way their brains are

wired it takes dyslexics longer to

process language. Studies show that

dyslexic children actually use nearly

five times the brain area to perform

ordinary language tasks as their peers.

Studies also show that there are

chemical differences in the brain

function of dyslexic children.

Research suggests that at least 20% of

the population of the world is dyslexic,

although most may not know it or have

had it diagnosed.

It isn’t that dyslexic people cannot

learn, it is more about how they learn

that makes a difference to them. Sadly

schools tend to focus on teacher led

systems that involve a lot of listening

and reading, whereas dyslexics tend to

learn by doing so practical, hands on

based learning suits their learning style.

We teamed up with PreciousKids, Great Parents websitefor this article, based in

Queensland, Australia - hereis a bit about them.

We are two mums, Corinne & Marywho have been friends for years andwe came together to help parents andtheir kids in anyway we can. One of

us has been a school principal and theother a qualified doctor (although notpracticing) and between us we havehad 8 biological children and one

foster child, a miscarriage, 4 naturalno pain killer births and 4 caesarians!

Plus a vast array of pregnancy medicalproblems, so we do have a vast

amount of experience and knowledgethat we feel the need to share, but

we understand everyone has their ownways too.

We are by no means perfect and don’tprofess to be but we do genuinely

want to help with any problems thatparents, kids and teenagers face in

their everyday lives.

Houmous - get it before it’s gone!

400g of chickpeas (tinned or dried and

rehydrated)

1 clove of garlic

2 lemons

2 Tbsp olive oil

1 Tbsp light tahini paste

This is a very simple recipe – we just throw everything into abig bowl and use a stick blender to mush it all up.

Claire is a mum of 3 dairyintolerant, veggie kids, works part-time and runs her own business too.

You can decide how smooth or ‘lumpy’ your children will eat it,

and that means it is suitable from weaning age onwards. This

makes a very nutritious snack as a dip with veg sticks or

breadsticks, we also like it on hot toast for a change from nut

butters.

We have made it with lime juice for a subtle change, but lemon is

always most popular – we always have a bottle of lemon juice

in the fridge for emergencies and you can use garlic puree

instead of fiddling with a clove. If you don’t have a stick blender

you can get the kids to push the chickpeas through a sieve using

the back of a spoon and then mix everything in, you get the

same end product.

This makes a decent bowl of Houmous, but it never lasts long in

our house so I’ve never had to find out if it freezes well. It should

be ok in the fridge for 24 hours.

ways Fibromyalgia ruins your lifeWe asked you across social media and you

answered in droves!

Lack of SleepYour number one issue with Fibromyalgia is lack of sleep. Over 80% of you listed this as your top

priority to fix! Indeed, many of you listed it as all three of your top Fibro problems to solve. You told

us that if you could only get some decent sleep that you would feel more able to cope, have less

brain fog and of course, less overall exhaustion. For more help and advice on this issue please

download your free 20 page booklet on solving this issue here.

PainUnending, viscious pain came in second when we asked you ‘what are your 3 biggest issues with

Fibromyalgia right now’. Not surprising to see this one in the top three given how unrelenting Fibro

pain can be. Too many of you reported relying on prescription pain relief, often opiate derivative

ones, just to make it through the day or in an attempt to allay the pain enough to try and sleep.

After inability to sleep, pain came in as the number two overall disruptor in your life, having a knock

on effect to being able to work, play with your kids and of course, sleep!

Not being able to contributeAt number three came the guilt factor. Nearly 60% of you gave this as one of your top three issues,

guilt at having to rely so heavily on a partner or loved one to not only financially support you but also

clean the house too. This was closely followed by guilt for your kids because you were unable to

look after them or interact with them as much as you felt they deserved. Not only are you having to

deal with high levels of pain every day, along with lack of sleep and exhaustion but you are mentally

beating yourself up every day too. It is hardly surprising though, in our society our social standing is

linked to our level of self-esteem, so if we are contributing and feel well and active we tend to have

higher self-esteem than if we are ill long term. It is apparent the mental side of dealing with Fibro on

a daily basis is equally as important as handling the other symptoms of the disease too.

What’s in yours?Your skin is your largest organ and what you put on it can be absorbed into your bloodstream in is

not deodorants and antiperspirants cause cancer but the rise in men experiencing breast cancer

It cannot be denied that you are applying products that often contain aluminium and zirconium

these compounds can disrupt hormones and it is known that the formation of tumours has been

Meaning of true style

This month as part of our Style Coaching journey we are looking at

the true meaning of Style. Style is not something that you are born

with but something that everyone can learn.

In the words of Coco Chanel ‘Fashion Fades, only style remains the

same.’

Style comes from knowing your personality, knowing what works for

your unique body shape and expressing who you are as an

individual. Style is as much about confident body posture and body

language as it is about clothes hair and make up. Great style can be

achieved by everyone, regardless of age shape or style. Style

comes from being totally comfortable and at ease with yourself

inside and out…..

' Style is when they're running you out of town and youmake it look like you're leading the parade.' William Battie

advice on how we can all love ourselves just

a little bit more. For moreinformation about Style

'Style is knowing who you are, what youwant to say, and not giving a damn.'

Orson Welles

●Comes from well fitted clothes that enhance your body shape and give you

great proportions.

●Stylish clothes don’t pull, pucker ,cling or hide you completely from the world.

● Is about knowing how to dress appropriately for age, occasion ,body shape

and lifestyle.

Having style is about finding great clothes that work for you and your lifestyle. It’s

about walking tall, an attitude, a frame of mind that is positive and enthusiastic.

Style is when YOU wear your clothes, not when your clothes wear you!!

What can you do to feel instantly more confident in any surroundings…..

Style is when you can look in the mirror without making harsh judgements,you feel

happy with what you see and you feel great. You don’t need to rely on the opinions

of others because your advice, your inner voice is good enough. True style comes

from being self assured; this strong self belief comes from the being aware of what

works for you and developing confidence in the power of your decision making.

So what are the secrets to achieving style…….

●Can be achieved with the most simple of outfits, and the most basic

accessories

● Is often the less is more Philosophy

●Can be simple clothes with a fabulous hair cut or style can be natural up and a

smile

quick confidence fixers7

1. Wonder Woman pose - strange but true, adopting the

hand on hips, legs set apart, chest out pose fools the

brain into believing it is confident.

2. Sit up! Sitting up straight like our grandparents told us

to not only projects an air of confidence but again

makes the brain believe it is confident too.

3. Listen to an uplifting song (even better sing along to

it) releases feel good hormones into the bloodstream

making us feel better about ourselves.

4. Go outside and look up, another one of those strange

but true ones, tricking the brain to feel yes you

guessed it, happier and confident

5. Smile, even a forced smile can release those feel

good hormones into the bloodstream

6. Remember everyone feels inadequate sometimes so

if you don’t feel it simply fake it! Eventually the brain

will believe it too.

7. Take a ‘mini-holiday’ Stop what you are doing and

take 3 ‘conscious’ breaths. The act of slowing your

breathing and sending the breath down to your tummy

instantly makes us feel better.

Using your voiceThe New Moon in Cardinal Air (Libra)

Henry David Thoreau

The song of which Thoreau refers is

not music per se but the creative

essence of Infinite Intelligence within

you seeking an outlet; that song may

not be music at all, but maybe

something that gives greater

expression to your divine nature, to

the creative life-force that flows

through you.

So why is it so difficult to confidently

and unequivocally speak openly and

honestly about topics that matter to

you? I am not referring to public

speaking, but initiating an authentic

conversation about the values that

you hold dear. Perhaps it has

something to do with the world within

which we have created – a world

that constantly tells you that you

PAGE 33Photographs: freedigitalphotos.net -stockimages / stuart miles / pixomar

AstrologyUsing your voice

The New Moon in Cardinal Air (Libra)

PAGE 34

Astrology should not believe in yourself; that your

opinions do not matter; moreover that you do

not really matter. Perhaps it has something to

do with the innately human desire to be

accepted, to fit in?

Speaking openly (Cardinal Air) requires

courage because to confidently “sing your

song” is one of the most raw and vulnerable

experiences that you can have. To have an

authentic conversation you will have to take a

path through a dimly lit region at the edge

your soul, a place called fear - fear of

rejection, fear of not being accepted; fear of

not being loved. Yet in spite of the fact that

you may fear that you won’t be loved, to

openly speak your truth is one of the most

important things you can do in creating a

world that truly honours your voice.

But what voice am I talking about? Your

voice is your outward creative expression

that arises from the sacred being you are. It

is that place within you where the infinite

intelligence of God has personalised itself,

imbued in the fabric of your being at your

moment of this incarnation. It is the desire

within you to push out and connect your

creative being with other souls. It is your

essence writ plain for the world to see. It is a

place within you that astrologers call Libra!

Despite the inertia created by the fear of

openly expressing your voice, finding the

courage to start speaking your truth should

not take years to establish. Innate to being

human is the desire to connect; to form

PAGE 35

relationships and to create communities

based on similar values. In astrological

terms, this is known as the element of Air.Made up of three states, all three together lie

behind the impetus to connect people and

ideas together - to create community.

- The Mutable Air, or Geminian, state is

to gather and exchange information

- The Fixed Air, or Aquarian, state is to

internalise, reflect and make a value

judgement free of external pressure

- The Cardinal Air, or Libran, state is to

initiate conversation; to create

dialogue and subsequently

relationship; to breathe into the world

your elemental being

The Cardinal Air time takes place annually

from approximately the 22nd/ 23rd September

through to the 23rd October, when our Life

Giver, the Sun, appears to move through a

region of space known as tropical Cardinal

Air, or Libra. The time during which the Sun

blazes its heat and light through this realm is

a time concerning the initiation of dialogue

and the sharing and spreading of your voice

to all those with whom you come into contact

with.

Everyone contains this Cardinal Air

consciousness regardless of whether there

exists a planetary body within this airy

domain at the moment of their birth.

Therefore everyone can share their voice. In

PAGE 36

turn, within our interconnected universe,

each of us will come into contact with

someone else’s voice! If the message of

Libra is that you are starting a

conversation, therefore sharing your

consciousness, the question must be what

is it that you are disseminating?

During this forth coming lunation I would

ask you to reflect on whether your voice,

and what you speak of, is genuinely yours

or does it come from your persona? Within

you are many voices – many of whom

originate from external sources such as

your parents and family members; your

educational/ religious/ socio-economic

conditions; and from your karma. But can

you pause for a moment and imagine what

your world would be like if you stripped

away the layers of external thought forms

that influences your reality and focused

only on what you truly feel, think and

believe!

As the Sun and Moon draw into a tight

embrace on the 24th September, renewing

the place within our cosmic soul that seeks

to openly breathe its Truth, a time has

come to enable you to confidently walk to

the edge of that dark place called fear and

uncertainty and to let your voice be clearly

heard. As you reconnect with that place

within you called Libra; when you are

willing to talk openly about who you are; as

you live in consort with your Being;

something mystical and magical begins to

happen: the sound that emanates through

your voice, touches the hearts and minds

of others, as your heart opens and your

soul soars as you revel in who you were

born to be.

If you are new to astrology and need

support in discovering which arena of your

life you need to direct your out-breath

during this Libran lunation, please click on

the following link - https://db.tt/un7oAktF

If, however, you want to tune into your

body awareness and intuition concerning

the blocks that may prevent you speaking

your truth, feel free to do so as your own

intelligence will guide you as to what you

need to centre yourself on this coming

month.

ways food can help you

beat cold & flu season…

Honey and CinnamonAccording to the Family Health Freedom Network, this

combination is so potent that it will knock out a cold

within a day or two. Take twice a day for three days for

best results even if you begin to feel better. Both of

these are known for their antiviral, antibacterial and

anti fungal qualities which would explain why the

immune system loves them:

5 Teaspoon of honey ( local and raw preferably)

¼ teaspoon of cinnamon

3

Vitamin Boosters

Try this amazing vitamin booster,

as for dosage this is so great for

you the more you drink the better!

Put it through your juicer or

Nutribullet and simply sit back

and enjoy:

1 carrot

1 apple

A piece of Ginger

A clever combination of immune

boosters, antioxidants and antibiotic

Drinking this is a massive boost to your immune

system to support it to fight colds and flu, take 3 to 4

times until symptoms disappear, this one you don’t

Elderberry

We whole credit this excerpt to The Hedgerow

Handbook which contains the full recipe but a

concoction made from the humble elderberry proved

more effective against two strains of flu virus than

Tamiflu! This is because it contains Sambucol and

big pharma is catching on and will begin to sell

expensive medications based on this - but invest in

the book and make your own for cheaper from

foraged elderberry instead!

As I write this months article it is mid September

already and the warm dry weather is still holding, in the

UK at least. As I reflect, despite my set backs earlier in

the season with mislabelling, all in all its been a pretty

good season especially on the cucumber front.

One positive has come out of my labelling fiasco though

and that is I discovered a new plane on which to grow

my cucumbers next season - the same way as I grow

my trailing tomatoes. Next year I will be testing out

trailing my cucumber plants so this has at least given

me a new method to explore in our quest to make the

best use of every last bit of available space in my small

garden and hopefully it will increase yield - I can hardly

wait.

My runner beans from this season are still going strong

too and ensuring I have a good amount to pick every

PAGE 44

three to four days. This is not a problem as

what my wife doesn’t cook there and then for

our dinner, she blanches to put in the freezer,

this ensures there is usually enough to see us

to Christmas and beyond.

One thing to remember, runner beans like a

good moisture retentive soil so a good

watering the night before you intend to pick

them ensures a beautiful succulent bean,

especially if picked before the bean inside the

pod has had a chance to swell. It is this that

causes them to become a bit ‘stringy’ unless

of course you like your bean inside once it has

started to swell, in which case leave them on

the vine for longer, although watering the night

before still applies.

My latest experiment is a hydroponics tank, in

which I have planted lettuce, corn salad and

chard. I planted the seed tray some weeks

ago ready to succession sow between other

crops as the old ones come to an end. I have

used some of these seedlings in the tank and

within a week they are showing signs of good

fresh shoots. I also intend to try other crops

that don’t mind cooler growing conditions. I’ll

keep you posted on its progress next month.

Despite the labelling problem I have had a

good yield from my tomatoes, all be it some of

them are not where I would normally have

planted them. Provided the frosts hold off I can

see some of the plants going on for another

month. The yield has been such that I have

been giving away tomatoes and cucumbers to

my family and friends, let alone my with finding

a myriad of ways to pickle, freeze and store

them.

This is despite having lost some of the plants

because the containers dried out in the hot

sunlight we basked in over the British summer.

That’ll teach me to heed my own advice but no

matter how much you think you know, Mother

Nature always finds a way to send you a curve

ball to keep you on your toes. If you are in the

southern hemisphere and getting ready to sow

seedlings, or if you are in the northern

hemisphere reaping the rewards of your efforts

and battening down for winter, happy

gardening!
