If you were to create your life today, what would you change? Would you like better health, more loving relationships or more purpose and meaning in life? Almost everything we do is based on our beliefs in the subconscious mind, because we operate about 95% of our lives from the subconscious programming. PSYCH-K® is a fast and painless way to rewrite limiting beliefs or the perception of trauma in the subconscious mind. Based on years of research and thousands of sessions with individuals and groups it is a simple and direct way to “update” the programming in the subconscious mind with the help of kinesiology.

What is the Best Hearing Aid on the Market 2021?
Purchasing hearing aids is an important and expensive investment to make, especially when you pay for what you get. The various brands, styles and features give people an opportunity to select a hearing aid that suits their lifestyle, hearing loss and preferences to personalize their hearing experience. Hearing aids are vast in their capabilities and features. For example, there are rechargeable hearing aids, automatic noise adjusting aids, Bluetooth pairing, tinnitus masking and much more. Every person is unique so naturally, hearing aids need to be unique for each individual.
When looking for hearing aids, consult a hearing professional for a test to determine your hearing abilities, get recommendations and insight into your options. With their experience and knowledge, they can help navigate the tricky world of hearing aids. They will program your hearing aid to optimize and enhance your hearing experience. Next, think about what features are most important to you. Do you want non-visible hearing aids? Do you want to minimize background noise as much as possible? Do you want sounds from a phone or cinema, for example, to stream directly to your hearing aids? These are all questions to ask while looking for your perfect hearing aids.
Once you have an option in mind, it’s a good idea to ask about a trial period to ensure your hearing aid of choice is a good fit in day-to-day life. Wear them every day in different environments, test out the features multiple times to get a feel for how the hearing aids function and push through the awkward adjustment period. It’s normal for new hearing aids to sound weird, overly loud and startling, but as they’re used more, certain features may turn out to not be what you thought. The style may be uncomfortable or unrealistic and you might realize there is a different type of hearing aid that will better suit you. Following up with your hearing professional will help to find out if the hearing aid needs a programming adjustment to filter certain sounds in and out or if a different hearing aid is needed.

Consent for Deeper Connection
For many of us, consent has been about saying no, an ignored no, or it has not been discussed at all. It might have felt fuzzy or not quite right in our body. Or maybe a ‘heck yes’ in our toes. For most of us it is an incomplete conversation. Consent is an embodied experience that can empower our relationship with self and with others; awaken our intimate life; allow us to take with full abandon, and to surrender completely. When we access our yes, no, maybe, slow down, and pause, practising over and over again, in a safe enough space. This is the work we do together.

Enjoy Your Pumpkin Treats
It isn’t all bad news when it comes to your favourite pumpkin fall treats. While drinks and pies contain sugar, pumpkin itself can be good for your teeth! They contain magnesium, which works with calcium to build strong tooth enamel and prevent cavities. Pumpkins are packed with fiber helping to scrub your teeth and contributes to saliva production. Like to spice it up? The cinnamon used to create the fall flavour contains antioxidants that can help boost your immune system, as well as anti-inflammatory properties that can help sooth irritated gums. So, enjoy, in moderation, and rinse with water afterwards.
