Brain-imaging techniques have revealed the brain’s plasticity and have identified networks that music activates. The brain areas activated by music are not unique to music. These networks also process other functions. Musical and non-musical functions share systems. For example, motor control and executive control share circuits with music. Music can activate and drive complex patterns of interaction between the other two, so that a stroke patient and someone with Parkinson’s increases movement, and someone with traumatic brain injury increases cognitive functioning, such as problem solving or decision making.

We all need to cut ourselves some slack sometimes. But that can get away from us – compassion can seem like a loophole, a cop-out, or a way out. Then, filled with regrets, we may start self-blaming to compensate! However, real self-compassion is not an excuse – nor is self-discipline a punishment. How do you motivate yourself without being too hard or too soft? How do you operate effectively and work towards your goals? Counselling is a safe and neutral place to work out better ways to meet your commitments without hurting yourself.

The Science of Holistic Nutrition

Holistic Nutrition is a profession that looks at, not only food and its nutrients (and how they help balance the body), but also the How, When, Where and Why of the individual client.

At the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition, we have a curriculum that is a balance of both hard science such as Anatomy, Physiology, Pathology, Chemistry and Bio-Chemistry, and social sciences, (defined by the study of people, individually and in groups, their customs and relationships) in courses such as Prevention, Life-stages, Ecology, and Symptomatology. Symptomatology, with its focus on the individual’s identification of health-concerns and symptoms, is a perfect blend of both the hard and social sciences. This allows the holistic nutritionist to assess the whole person and make recommendations to improve his or her health.

Taxes are done, and hopefully, you did not owe but are expecting a refund – a legitimate refund. So many are reporting emails from CRA about a refund ready for deposit in your account, but the details need to be confirmed – just click here. Scam alert! CRA would not send you an email like this. Alternatively, many are advising that they have received calls from CRA about debt owed, myself included, and if arrangements to pay are not immediate, then the police will be called. Scam alert! We need to be careful and confirm directly with CRA any debt owed.
