Summer News
Over
the summer
I had to sort out my student daughter's boiler in London. A
simple task one might think, but it took me 7 weeks.
During all the hassles of calling numerous people on
automated phones I had the chance to to turn a
discouraging time (I missed seeing the Equestrian
Olympics in Hong Kong) into one very enjoyable summer:
It gave me the chance to see my mum and brother again,
to visit all the wonderful London sights and read lots
of frivolous books. Mental gratefulness is the
key.
As Neal
Donald Walsh says: "Move then to gratitude when you
encounter your frustrations. And see every event as an
Opportunity"
Keeping
the mind active in general is of course very important,
especially now I am getting older! In watching
some of the Olympics this summer you probably thought
about how you may get fitter physically but don't forgot
the mind.
People need
both the mind and
body of a champion
to become a
champion.
Mental Fitness is
more than feeling
good following
following success.
Mental fitness is
learning how to
think like a
champion and
rigorously exercise
the mind for
overcoming obstacles
and maximizing
performance.
There
is a difference
between feeling and
training. If you
want lasting
success, it is
important to train
for
success. Remember,
you live within the
environment created
by your choices!

Sweet but
deadly!
Aspartame (E951), also
known as nutrasweet and equal, among
other brand names, is found in over 6000
products including diet drinks, chewing
gum, children vitamins and medicines.
Aspartame, the artificial sweetener, is
associated with a long list of adverse
side effects.
Scientists have
identified more than 90 medical
conditions associated with aspartame,
including epileptic seizures, memory
loss, migraine, blurred vision
brain tumors, multiple sclerosis,
epilepsy, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome,
Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and diabetes
among others.
Aspartame is commonly
recommended for people with diabetes.
However, a leading US authority on
diabetes, Dr H J Roberts, MD, informs
that aspartame leads to:
-
precipitation of clinical
diabetes
-
poorer diabetic control
-
aggravation of diabetic
complications such as retinopathy,
cataracts, neuropathy and
gastroparesis
-
convulsions.
Another major group of
people who take aspartame are the
overweight and obese. They should take
note that aspartame has been found to
make people eat more! Research also
suggests that when aspartame is taken
with MSG, another common food additive,
its negative effects tend to be
enhanced.
Aspartame is, in fact,
one of the most controversial food
substances ever to be approved by the US
Food and Drug Administration.
Do an internet search such as “effects of aspartame”.
You will find plenty of well-researched,
well-referenced, and possibly shocking, information.

Bodywork is a powerful vehicle for healing,
awareness and engaging the whole person through a
synthesis of structure, function, energy and
emotion. All
