Therefore, to have control over our responses and outcomes, we need to shift our reactions from the reptilian brain / lower brain (survival state) to the neocortex brain (thinking), so we develop our consciousness and intuitive thinking. The question is: Have we … [Read more...] about Developing control through resilience and intuitive thinking

Cardamom Coconut Custard and Choc Chia plus health benefits

By Leave a Comment

This cardamom recipe appeals to me more than what seems normal! Maybe it’s the mad alliteration. Perhaps it’s because cardamom is a traditional medicine and I like that. We even have a new homeopathic remedy made from it. But really who cares, it tastes great. Cardamom seeds There are between 8 and 16 seeds in each cardamom pod. You have to cut it or bash it with a rolling pin to split open the pod to get at the seeds. Then if you are wanting to use the seeds for a recipe, it's good to know that they will pretty quickly lose their flavour when ground and exposed … [Read more...] about Cardamom Coconut Custard and Choc Chia plus health benefits

My adventures with intermittent fasting diet

By Leave a Comment

Intermittent Fasting - Starving in the midst of Plenty I’ve never been one to follow the diet fads.  I love my food too much and really can’t stand feeling hungry. Until recently reaching a stage in my life known as Perimenopause, I’ve been pretty lucky genetically and haven’t had to work too hard at keeping within a healthy body weight. I’ve always been of the mindset that eating healthy food and getting enough exercise are all you need to do. It’s all I’ve ever needed to do, anyway, but now there are questions over insulin resistance in menopause. While I’ve … [Read more...] about My adventures with intermittent fasting diet

Toby's story A story of homeopathy for eczema in babies What does a homeopath do when she can't fix her own child's eczema? Toby is my third child. When I brought him home from the hospital, I wanted to turn around and go straight back. The food may well be horrendous, but at least someone else makes it for you. There are a lot of jokes going around that once you have three children, you may as well go and have another one because it makes very little difference in the scheme of things. I began to understand exactly what was behind all of those jokes as I did my … [Read more...] about Eczema homeopathy and dairy Intolerance
