Sending love and care

If you are feeling stressed because you are unable to be present with those you feel need your care; maybe grandparents or children, you can still send them ‘love energy’ from a distance. There is enough evidence showing it really works. So follow these steps:

Find a comfortable place to sit; maybe in front of a window looking out on a pleasant scene, or just observe a picture on the wall, or even focus on your bookshelf with your favourite books. You can even place an item that you love and appreciate in front of you.

Now with a soft gaze let a feeling of deep appreciation and love gradually rise – and then allow your eyelids to close gently.

With each breath you take feel your whole body fill with love. Enjoy the sense of happiness that comes with this loving feeling.

Now with each in-breath begin to think of someone you are missing. See their face, hear the sound of their laughter, and with each out-breath radiate this love toward them. Imagine their joy receiving it.

After you have done this for a short while, in your minds-eye imagine giving them a special hug – knowing that you can send them love in this special way at any time.

You can repeat this for each person you are missing that you want to reach out to.

When complete, still with your eyes closed, keep breathing gently whilst you place your attention on your heart. Now allow yourself to be filled with the abundance of love that ultimately makes life what it is.

Baffled about boosters?

Baffled about boosters?

A common argument against COVID-19 vaccination is “Surely the vaccines can’t be effective if I require a booster?”
All vaccines work to train the immune system to recognise foreign invaders and produce antibodies that will attack them. But the strength of the initial immune response, and the amount of time the antibodies will last, varies depending on both the pathogen the vaccine is fighting, and the vaccine itself.

Being in the dark

Being in the dark

We all know the experience when, at the crucial moment, the rolling blackout hits and bam, you are no longer in that meeting, or the piece of equipment you’re using cuts out mid-job. But we South Africans are creative people and have found ways to manage as best we can. Now, with the anticipated hike in electricity tariffs, we need to be creative about reducing our energy usage.

New Year’s resolutions. This approach will make them stick!

New Year’s resolutions. This approach will make them stick!

It’s been a rough two years – physically, emotionally and financially. Even those who are usually the most committed to their new year’s goals have had to re-assess as COVID-19 numbers swirled, petrol prices sky-rocketed, and load-shedding made an unwelcome return.
January is a ‘fresh’ time of year – a bit like it feels outdoors after a good shower of rain. You’re feeling refreshed and full of hope that maybe, just maybe, 2022 is going to be better than last year. It’s time to imagine how fit, how healthy, how light your 2022 self will be.

Water. Be aware, too little or too much is a dangerous thing

Water. Be aware, too little or too much is a dangerous thing

Some parts of the country are experiencing really hot weather. If you are drinking too little water, you could be at the risk of dehydrating. Our bodies are designed to work at an ideal temperature. When our environment is hot, in an attempt to keep our temperature stable, we perspire. As the moisture evaporates it cools our skin which, in turn, cools the blood vessels and hence our whole body.

COVID-19 – cautious optimism

COVID-19 – cautious optimism

As we enter 2022, the recognition of the milder physical effects of the Omicron Covid-19 variant brings some hope that the pandemic might be easing, or even coming to an end. That is why Government announced the lifting of many restrictions on movement and activities. You can again go to bars and restaurants – and the beach!

Fully vaccinated? Now what?!

Fully vaccinated? Now what?!

Let’s be clear – there is no quick fix to immediately ‘boost’ your immunity – no ‘wonder supplement’ or ‘power food’ will suddenly strengthen your immune system. However, living a healthy lifestyle does go a long way to keep your immune system strong. This has been found in a recent study showing that exercise may strengthen the antibody response to vaccination – both the COVID-19 vaccines and the annual flu vaccines.

Current News: South Africa and Ukraine

Current News: South Africa and Ukraine

Here in South Africa, there seems to be two active responses on social media to the shock of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. One is a sense of outrage and sadness at the disruption and tragic loss of life. The other seems to be an almost flippant expression of gratitude for being far away ‘down south’ from the conflict zone.

Be mindful while living with cancer

Be mindful while living with cancer

What can those two illustrious South Africans, the late Archbishop Desmond Tutu and ex-President Nelson Mandela teach us about living with cancer?
In 1997 a concerned world heard that the man fondly known as ‘the Arch’, aged 65, had surgery for prostate cancer. A few years later in 2001, we were again shocked to hear that Madiba, aged 83, had also been diagnosed with prostate cancer.
