Relaxing and being aware of your body (as you might be in a Shiatsu session or similar) has its own side-effect - the aches that have faded into perception background suddenly get a spotlight, as do emotions and thoughts we keep well hidden. I am certainly not the only person who has experienced feeling like EVERYTHING in my body is tense, achy and just plain WRONG at the start of a Shiatsu or a massage treatment.  This is the start of the process of resolving/ transforming these stale states of being into a healthier you, but it can be a bit of a shock. 

I feel so fortunate to be working from Meadowlark Yoga - it's full of positive open people and is dedicated to life of health, vitality and balance on every level.  I can't help but smile every time I go in either to work or to a yoga class. Would you like to come along on a wee tour? I'll tell you about the new place and tempt you to visit with two offers along the way. To see my working days and prices please read my page . You can also book online.

Overall, I ate carefully to be sure I was getting the right vitamins/nutrients.

Within 2 weeks my chronically dry (from an early age) skin had all but cleared up and my hair was lustrous enough to elicit compliments. These unexpected changes were motivation enough to continue! Other changes I noticed:

• I was far far less thirsty, and no longer woke up in the morning with a horrible dry mouth.

• Weight dropped off (even though I’d had to stop running in 2009 so wasn’t really taking exercise).
• My bowels regulated; the stomach pains went away.

I stopped the regimen eventually as the weight loss didn’t stop. I also suspected that my relationship to food had become a bit ‘weird’, so … I started eating ‘normally’, which meant permitting sugar. What I now noticed was:

• My relationship to sugar and sugary food had changed. I could observe a packet of Gingernuts on the table without having to restrain myself from grabbing and eating the lot (full stomach or no).
• I didn’t really ‘feel like’ chocolate or sweets any more. I had been a sucker for anything sweet, I was not fussy! Now, I could take them or leave them, and most of the time, I just didn’t feel like eating anything sugary sweet.

What was the cause? I’m not sure. Cutting out sugar eased the pain and helped with other things too.
I'll leave it to others to decide whether I was simply vulnerable to sugar cravings; whether the presence of an organism which craved it (such as candida) caused my sugar addiction; or whether there was some other reason altogether. For my part: I felt ill; I listened to my body, did what it seemed to be asking and then I felt better. (End of :-)).

I’m so excited to finally get my website up and out there. This is a new direction for me and has been a labour of love – mind you my web developer Noah Breen did most of the heavy lifting! I do hope you like it.
