“Sound healing uses a frequency and vibration that is conducive for healing,” says Joshua Leeds, the author of The Power of Sound and an expert in the field of psychoacoustics, the study of the effects of sound on the human nervous system. Sounds, vibrations and frequencies support the immune system, help with insomnia and assist in relaxing muscle spasms. Neuroacoustic Research found that different frequencies target the various densities in the body. British doctors have developed a revolutionary new therapy using high power sound waves that can precisely target tumours without surgery.

Lymphatic Massage
Lymphatic massage is a light form of massage assisting the lymph flow. The lymph is a liquid that flows throughout our body by stimulation from muscle contractions or outward pressure applied via gentle manipulation. It collects wastes and toxins that cannot be absorbed through the blood capillary vessels. Our lymphatic fluid is cleaned via lymphatic nodes that are found all over the body; especially in the groin, armpits and trunk. Lymphatic congestion may result from many health conditions. The lymph drainage massage helps lymph to circulate thus assisting the immune system in its effort to keep the body healthy and clear of edema (swelling in tissues) and a buildup of toxins.
Choosing a Seniors’ Living Residence
Once you have made the decision to start looking at options for your future living arrangements, there are a number of things you should keep in mind. Focus on what you want, not what anyone else thinks you should want. When looking, remember that first impressions count. Consider things such as the building design and the services and activities offered to see if they appeal to you. Are the residents and staff friendly towards you and to each other? Check out the dining room and ask the residents about their dining experience. If the first impressions are favourable, book a tour with the Site Manager.
When not to Engage in Gambling
When post-holiday debt piles up, it is easy to become overwhelmed and unwittingly allow our financial pressures to influence our judgement. The stress of overdue bills can tempt us to seek a quick fix to get some financial relief. This is one of the riskiest times to engage in gambling activities. Gambling is meant to be a form of entertainment. It is not a high-risk high-reward bail out or windfall. Avoid stoking the campfire into a blazing forest fire. Talk to a credit counsellor, financial advisor, pastor or trusted friend. Get financial advice, seek assistance and ask for support.
Trouble Falling Asleep?
If you have trouble falling asleep, here is something that you may not know. The National Sleep Foundation suggests that having warm feet when going to bed sends a signal to your brain that it is bedtime. Sleep research indicates a correlation between falling asleep quickly and increased blood dilation in our extremities. Wearing socks to bed warms your skin and dilates your blood vessels. Having a restful night is essential for a good day so go to bed wearing a clean pair of socks. Today there are socks with built in technology that will not only keep your feet warm but may provide relief from restless leg syndrome.
Dieting with the Enemy
Want to really bring out the worst in people? Try weight loss! It won’t be unusual if you’re showered with fattening food or sabotaged by people who claim to love you. The problem usually starts when you are in change mode, but your friends and family are not. Your success may make them feel guilty, which in turn pricks at their conscience. They may be thinking they should be pursuing weight loss too. The best thing you can do is to make friends with the enemy. Be firm with your boundaries and acknowledge that your goals are important too. You got this!

Does your Gut Dislike Travelling?
Laying on a sunny beach in February means you had to travel to get there. Travel frequently involves air travel, time zone changes, and disrupted eating and sleeping patterns. These can lead to irregularity or uncomfortable digestive issues, which in turn affect our immune system. Our body will also likely be exposed to unfamiliar germs and bacteria that we do not normally encounter. Taking probiotics before and during your trip helps keep your gut and digestive system normal and happy so that you can really enjoy your holiday. Your local health food store can help you choose the best ones for you.
