Stepping out of your comfort zone

General Health & Wellbeing Posted by JadwigaPosted on Wed, January 06, 2021 02:56PM

As we step into 2021, with a common understanding of what it is to stay within the bounds of our homes, those 4 walls and our comfort zones we have simultaneously learnt that there is no such thing as security for what is projected to be.

Many of us have lost jobs, began the search for a new one or ventured into starting our own businesses to provide a solution to the world’s current problems.

We know that the world is quite literally rocky terrain and with the prospects of a climate disaster, our generations and the future generations yet to come hold even less security, than what we have felt this year.

I write to provide some hope to the population that maybe we might consider stepping out of our comfort zones to try something new, prescribe to something bigger, something better, a new paradigm that consists of belief; the belief that we are capable of doing a whole heap more, belief in the essence of providing for ourselves and our families in the midst of a pandemic and belief in whatever may come next.

How you provide can come in many ways; financially, physically, emotionally, the basics of shelter, food and water but none of these are successful unless we nurture ourselves with what we need most self-care, love, warmth and kindness. Our outlook and our perception is all it takes to create a luminous world of opportunity. We have knowledge to understand that we don’t know everything and that that is ok. As long as our minds provoke and encourage us to be more and to do more of what makes us feel nourished, mindful in the fact that we can accomplish all we set out to. The more encumbered behaviours we bestow the more we face malnutrition, malnutrition of the values we hold, a filtered down version of that which is good for us.

With the New Year in bloom, I ask that you truly assess whether you are aligned with the nourishing activities that make you feel whole, real and alive. If you are not, I request that you practice mindfulness and sync your reality to the one you wish for.

Coaching can help you hold yourself to account so that more of your behaviours are in line with the world you want to create for yourself.

Colours of the Mind

Therapies Posted by JadwigaPosted on Tue, October 06, 2020 11:58AM

The Mind is our most powerful tool {next to our Heart} it holds our thoughts, our intellect, our moods the whole of our personality.

Would you be surprised to learn there is a map to the human mind?

The mind has many temples, each one having its own gifts and benefits that control different physiological functions as well as stimulating our creative energies. Did you know these energetic spheres within the mind all have their own unique Colour?

I am able to translate the frequency of these Colours to the mind and I can also understand its labyrinth of vibrating neural pathways, to be able create a ‘Mind Map of Colours’ for your greater awareness.

Just to make things clear – I am not a mind reader.. No!!

What I am, is a ‘Colour Therapist’ who uses the sacred language of Colour (as keys) to unlock the doors to your mind and release its great potential. I can bring something through ‘The Veil of Amnesia’ as a soothing salve for your Healing.

The only ingredient you need is an ‘Open Mind’. Once resistance is removed I then ask you to pre-choose  x4 Colours that move you most, then allow me to work on the ‘Colours of your Mind’ over a period of time (4/5 days). After this time you will be ready to receive what is rightfully yours, in the form of a 90min in depth consultation/explanation which includes your hand written personal ‘Mind Map’ to keep. {Fee £45}

Receiving your ‘Mind Map’ means you will be given a ‘Divine piece of Science’ that is filled with words for you to ponder over and process to see how it applies to your life, especially the parts that are most inspiring or that challenge you.

It will change the way you think about yourself and your world, it has the potential to access your higher-self and to see how you have all the answers to your own questions from the inner-world of your own Colourful mind.

Coughs and Colds, Naturally!

General Health & Wellbeing, Therapies Posted by JadwigaPosted on Wed, March 18, 2020 04:07PM

Despite it already being Spring time, it looks like the season of colds and coughs is nowhere near left behind yet!

The recent outbreak of Coronavirus is not helping the matters in any way, with current NHS advice to self- isolate (which I urge you to follow) on sign of any symptoms which may relate to corona, it becomes very frightening to start noticing a bit of a sore throat or the dreaded cough in yourself or your loved ones!

Whilst there is no current cure or proven treatment for the circulating strain of coronavirus, there are many tried and tested approaches to coughs and colds which may come very useful when used alongside other measures.

With this in mind, my top 4 herbs for a sore throat and dry cough are:

  • Licorice root- which has a very strong soothing and anti-inflammatory action- you can try it as a syrup, lozenges or even as tea!
  • Marshmallow root- known to relieve cough which is dry and hacking in character- cost commonly found as a tea or extract
  • Plantain- especially useful for coughs which seem to have no end and there’s some wheezing involved
  • Slippery Elm- has a coating and soothing action for throat- you can try it as a tea

My top 4 homeopathic remedies for dry coughs are:

  • Aconite- if the cough seems to come on suddenly and ‘out of nowhere’, especially if accompanied by high fever and a lot of feelings of anxiety
  • Bryonia- especially useful if the cough causes a splitting headache and you feel like holding your sides in order to cough
  • Kali Carb- if you need to sit up in order to be able to get relief whilst coughing and the attacks usually come on at night
  • Phosphorus- if the cough is a result of a tickling sensation and causes burning in your chest

but:

  • If you feel very cold and swallowing causes a stabbing pain in your throat (especially if it travels to your right ear), please try Hepar Sulph!

There are many remedies, both herbal and homeopathic, which could be used for cough symptoms and, in order to be of the most benefit, need to be chosen to the exact symptoms you are experiencing.

If you are looking to support your immune system in this stressful and taxing time, I can recommend my top 3 supplements:
