The benefits of relaxing

Good morning and thank you for taking the time to read over my blog.

I have recently returned from my holiday to Sicily and feel relaxed and refreshed having simply taken each day as an opportunity to wake up and think 'what would I like to do today?' and sometimes the answer was 'very little, just chill out and read a book and look at the sea and scenery from time.' Indeed, my own grandaughter, is a wonderful living breathing reminder of the sheer joy of just living in the moment and not, as so many of us do, looking at what we have to do next after this. Back to the benefits of the holiday, as the holiday progressed I became aware that those little pockets of tension which can accumulate in your neck and shoulders had disappeared. This came as a timely reminder to myself that I should; 'walk my talk' and be using my Reiki together with the many relaxation techniques I teach to my clients and students on my Stress Management and Relaxation courses throughout the East Riding.

One of the main comments made by students and clients is that they experience a lot of muscular tension and their mind is permanently whirling around or listening to a group of chattering monkeys. I help them to reduce these symptoms by teaching a whole variety of physical movements from Brain Gym - Educational Kinesiology in which I am a licensed Consultant and Trainer together with breathing techniques and deep relaxation techniques.

Reiki Training Success

I have had the pleasure this week to be able to award John his level II Reiki certificate having successfully met all the requirements and demonstrated his ability to use it for the benefit of himself and others.

I would like to mention that there will be a Mind, Body and Spirit Fair at Beverley Memorial Hall, October 4th 2009 where I will be giving a talk on Hypnotherapy and relaxation techniques.

I would also like to thank Yvonne of Rainbows, Beverley who has organised the Fair and is the person without whom this blog would not be appearing or my website - brightmindsyorkshire.com.

I look forward to reading any comments you may wish to forward.

Regards

Janet x
