THIS IS HOW SOUND HEALS US
Sound Healing is an ancient method once practised - it appears - by almost every civilisation. Its benefit goes beyond relaxation - it uses the power of sound vibrations to enable our bodies to heal themselves.
AH-6401A

A POSSIBLE CAUSE OF FATIGUE
There are key differences between tiredness and fatigue. Tiredness is eased by rest, while fatigue isn't - and when we have chronic fatigue, often our immune systems are at the root of the problem.
AH-6403B

PAIN ISN'T WHAT WE THOUGHT
Western medicine - which separates mind and body - teaches us, pain is purely physical - but it's not. Pain is inextricably connected with thoughts, perception and emotions - as the Tale of Two Nails shows.
AH-6404C

PEANUT BUTTER - GOOD/BAD?
Peanut butter is yummy - but is it healthy to eat? The answer is yes - as long as we choose a PB which only contains peanuts, avoiding versions loaded with sugar and salt - or contaminated with pesticides!
AH-6404D

A LYMPHATIC SELF-MASSAGE
The lymphatic system is a key part of our immune system. A range of conditions can cause lymph fluid to build up in tissues, but light-pressure drainage massage - a form of self-treatment - can be a remedy.
AH-6404E

BEER BELLY - OR STRESS BELLY?
Cortisol is our primary stress hormone and - if chronically elevated - can cause belly fat. Nervous system regulation, good sleep and blood sugar stability - avoiding spikes - can help shift "stress belly."
AH-6404F
