Dare to Love Fully

Everyone wants to love and be loved. I believe we are here on Earth to search out relationships to learn from. We yearn to be adored, cherished and honoured. In our own unique way, we ask that you please listen to what we are saying, so we can feel heard and understood. Please see me, adore me in our uniqueness and gifts. Please honour me and recognize my right to fully express myself and respond to my needs with kindness and compassion. When we get hurt and it becomes too painful to bear, we create stories and beliefs that we tell ourselves that protect us and keep us stuck. If we can release these limiting blocks and beliefs which are no longer needed or helpful, then we can dare to love with a full heart and open to all hearts.

Get Your Mouth Checked!

An oral health exam is critical to the maintenance of your overall wellbeing. You should have your mouth checked at least once a year for prevention and treatment of any ailments. Even if you don’t have any live teeth, it’s important to make sure there are no signs of infections or early signs of cancer, growths, or cysts, and that your dentures are fitting you well. Leaving problems untreated usually leads to pain, periodontal disease, or tooth loss, and could make treatment more difficult, so it’s best to deal with problems early, or, if possible, prevent them.

How to Boost Your Metabolism

Are you looking to kick-start your metabolism? Here are a few tips! 1. Build muscle. Your body always burns calories, even when you’re doing nothing. Your resting metabolic rate is much higher if you have muscle. 2. Keep drinking water. Your body needs water to process calories. If you are even mildly dehydrated, your metabolism may slow down. 3. Power up with protein. Your body burns many more calories digesting protein than it does with carbohydrates. As part of a balanced diet, replacing some carbs with lean, protein-rich foods can boost metabolism at mealtime.

Needing a Brain Software Update?

Stress and trauma disrupt the flow of our brainwaves between brain lobes and hemispheres. Too much or too little activity in one area or the other has a domino effect on the whole brain and develops into abnormal brainwave patterns that can, for example, be experienced as insomnia, anxiety, depression, or ADHD. This often leads to chronic conditions, self-medication and addictions. Brainwave Optimization allows the brain to retrain itself and self-regulate with a non-invasive acoustic mirror that helps you get out of being stuck in a rut and relax into well-being. As part of your summer holidays, consider taking yourself to our “brain spa” to “reboot” your brain.

Controlling Body Temperature

Did you know there are many benefits of inducing sweat regularly? In modern society, people are more dependent on an outside source controlling their body’s temperature – air conditioning. The sweat glands are the body’s natural thermal regulator. If you use them regularly, the body will be able to regulate the body’s temperature efficiently, and it can even generate more heat from inside – increasing metabolism. Japanese Thermal Therapy is a great way for someone with injuries or arthritis pain to experience perspiration without physical activity. It gently warms the body with a special stone, releasing far infrared rays and inducing sweat while easing joint pains, burning calories, and helping to detoxify.

Why Can’t I Put Down My Phone?

Detaching yourself from your phone and truly unplugging can seriously improve your life. While there’s no doubt technology has made our lives easier in many ways (remember roadmaps?), research suggests that our addiction to it is real. Every new notification triggers the release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter that drives us to seek rewards, so you keep coming back for more. This vicious cycle is taking a toll on our health, mental wellbeing, and relationships. But this habit isn’t entirely your fault. Instagram, Facebook, Twitter—they’ve all been designed to make you repeatedly use them and check back in. Time for a digital detox?
