As a tutor and kinesiologist I recently came across this book which is an excellent study support and training guide and wanted to share it with others:
Great Ways to Learn Anatomy & Physically by Charmaine McKissock – ISBN 978-0-230-20991-6 www.palgrave.com
This is much more than ‘A guide to helping students study A & P’. The intelligent questionnaires, easy to understand examples of what stresses us and how we can manage this, and understanding individual styles of learning are a great support …

Its easy to be overwhelmed by the energy of sexual attraction. Attractive energy bubbles up and escalates. Everything quickens. The pulse quickens; the breath can shorten – we tend not even to notice that this happens; and we speak more quickly. With so much speeding up, we can fumble – we open our mouth to speak but don’t know what to say; or we say something the wrong way – and we feel like we’ve made a fool of ourselves. …

With stillness comes inspiration…
Holidays are the ultimate for me. They provide me with time out and space to think clearly about how I want to move forward with my life and my work. In an ideal world, I’d have several holidays a year, but reality dictates otherwise.
A clear head enables us to focus on our priorities, keeping our objectives at the forefront of our minds, and preventing us from getting stuck in a foggy rut or simply going through the …

Wouldn’t it be great to find a skincare ingredient that cleanses, tones and soothes, leaving even oily or combination skin perfectly balanced, soft and healthy looking, and is completely natural? Witch skincare have been using this natural ingredient for over 40 years, in all their products. It’s no big secret: simply Witch Hazel.
The witch hazel plant is a deciduous fork-branched shrub with yellow flowers. Hamamelis virginiana is the common variety native to North America. The generic name, Hamamelis (“fruit” and “together”) is derived from …

In Praise of Marriage and Divorce
We tend to think of marriage and divorce as being each other’s opposites. At first glance it would appear that this is purely a logical and neutral observation. Logical perhaps, but not neutral. The opposition holds a raft of qualifiers that look something like this:
marriage good, divorce bad
marriage success, divorce failure
marriage love, divorce lack of love
The list could go on.
(It is like a score card so I suggest reading it to yourself in the intonation …

I wanted to tell you about a gift I received. It’s maybe the greenest present I’ve ever been given, so I thought I would let you know.
There are numerous ways to offset your carbon footprint, but none perhaps quite so simple as growing a tree. The eco gift I’m talking about is a pack, available at Holistic World, from which I can grow my own silver birch. It has 100% compostable packaging and contains everything you need to start a silver birch tree off on your …

About the BP crisis in the Gulf at the moment, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finally decided to go public with the list of ingredients used to manufacture Corexit, the chemical dispersant used by BP in the Gulf of Mexico oil disaster. There are two things about this announcement that deserve our attention: First, the ingredients that have been disclosed are extremely toxic, and second, why did the EPA protect the oil industry’s “trade secrets” for so long by …

I spent most of my twenties thinking I was grown up, that I knew what I was doing. I even acted like it was true; I wore suits to work, I got married. I continued on the conveyer belt. I had the worst time.
How glad I am, then, to have reached my thirties. Finally I am beginning to accept myself and let that repressed soul free. I look at my body and its various battle scars and I don’t long for slender …

I recently had experienced the wonder of realising a long held dream of mine when I visited Iceland staying in Reykjavik but travelling to many wonderful locations. I had expected to witness the surge of the great geysir which gave its name to this phenomenon and I did. Feeling the surge beneath the ground before there were any changes on the surface of the water was awe inspiring and yet the soulfulness, realism and positivity of the Icelandic people was a …

Recently, a client told me that the reason he’d decided not to leave his wife was ‘I haven’t met anyone else who I’ll want a relationship with’.
Its not uncommon for men to wait until they’ve found a new partner before they leave their current one. In my experience, its more likely for men to do this than for women. So I’m addressing this blog to men. However, whatever your gender, if you are waiting for someone else to come along …

Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance that is naturally found in the body’s cell walls. The level of cholesterol in the body is determined by the amount of cholesterol that we absorb in our intestines, and the amount that we produce in our liver. It is needed to produce certain hormones in the body, vitamin D and bile acids that help to digest fat. There are two major types of cholesterol found in the blood: low density lipoprotein (LDL) ‘bad’ …

If both parents work full time, a large proportion of earnings is spent on child care provision and parents may feel obliged to ensure that all time spent with their children is expensive “quality time”.

Missing your lunch break robs you of the chance to take a break, collect your thoughts and balance your blood sugar levels.
