Emotional Freedom Technique:with Fiona Beneke!
How would you like to have freedom from anxiety, depression,
fears & phobias? How would you like to have freedom
from negative thoughts and limiting beliefs? How would
you like to have freedom from anger, trauma or sadness?
Would you like to start living with a sense of well
being, a sense of balance? Would you like to have enough
energy to focus on what you really want in life?
EFT is a form of "psychological acupressure" developed
by an American Psychologist, Dr Roger Callahan and further
developed by Stanford Engineer Gary Craig that is based
on the premise that:
"The cause of all negative emotions is a disruption
in the body's energy system"
Energy Psychology is a fairly new form of energy therapy
which has been taking the world by storm. These energy
therapies are based on Traditional Chinese Medicine
(TCM) and Applied Kinesiology (AK).
I call EFT 'Feng Shui for the brain'. As we clear
up old issues from the past that clutter up our thinking
and cause an emotional response in us, we make room
in our minds to focus our attention on what we want
and NOT on what we don't want.
Once the energy pathway has been cleared the person
experiences no further pain or negative emotions from
the memory or thought, leaving their mind, body and
spirit refreshed, recharged and balanced.
Each session involves gently tapping a sequence of energy
points on the upper body with the fingertips, which
releases the negative emotional charge. Nothing else
is used and the client doesn't have to discuss the problem.
As long as they are inwardly focused on the problem,
the tapping works.
EFT is also a great tool for working with the Law of
Attraction. As we form beliefs throughout our life,
these beliefs are buried in our subconscious mind. Over
the years these blocks or limiting beliefs can hold
us back and we self sabotage without realising it. Using
EFT on these negative thoughts can bring about a shift
in our awareness.
Change your beliefs and change your life.

Relieving Pain with Osteopathy: with Joanne Brass!
Although Osteopathy has been around for over one hundred
and thirty years it's now more popular than ever.
Osteopathy is a form of drug-free manual medicine that
focuses on total body health by treating and strengthening
the musculosketal (muscles and bones) framework. Osteopathy
helps to relieve problems within the body's nervous,
circulatory and lymphatic systems.
Medical statistics reveal that back pain affects 80
percent of Australians at some stage in their lifetime
that incapacitates them for one week or more. And one
in three people suffer from musculosketal problems which
causes pain or restricts movement.
Osteopaths are considered "back experts" and can also
treat people suffering postural problems, arthritis,
asthma, headaches, repetitive strain injury, sports
injury, pregnancy related pain, menstrual pain, the
common cold and more.
A typical consultation with an Osteopath normally lasts
between thirty to forty five minutes (Initial consultations
can be up to one hour). A consultation includes a complete
medical history covering in detail any sources and locations
of aches, pains and discomfort in the body as well as
looking at diet and lifestyle patterns, followed by
treatment which can include soft tissue work, manipulation
and joint mobilisation. These techniques help to free
up joints and relax muscles, often moving them in ways
patients cannot perform themselves. The session is then
rounded off with a list of exercises and stretches advised
for the patient to complete at home.
Osteopathy is recognised by the World Health Organisation
(WHO) as being scientifically proven. In Australia Osteopaths
are Government registered practitioners and are kept
up to date with the latest research surrounding musculosketal
medicine.

Want Younger, Tighter Skin without Cosmetic Surgery?:
checkout Titan!
Titan, a revolutionary new treatment, promising to lift
sagging skin, without going under the knife has arrived
at Clinic Aesthetic.
Clinic Aesthetic, located at Mater Private Clinic in
South Brisbane, is Queensland's first and only clinic
to offer the Titan Procedure as part of a comprehensive
"3D" skin rejuvenation program, as well as exclusively
offering a medical range of non-surgical cosmetic services
and products all especially designed to keep you looking
younger, without having to undergo plastic surgery.
The manufacturers of Titan, Cutera, an American based
company, developed the product to provide patients seeking
younger looking skin with an alternative to invasive
cosmetic procedures and since being released in the
US a little over a year ago, Titan has proven to be
extremely popular.
As people age the collagen fibres in the skin stretch
and loosen naturally. This results in less elasticity
in the skin and in turn makes the skin droop.
The Titan Procedure treats lax and redundant skin throughout
the body - including the abdomen, thighs and underarms
- and is also used to tone, lift and tighten skin on
the face and neck.
With very little, if any, pain to the patient, the Titan
uses laser infrared light to deliver a series of quick,
heated zaps deep into the inner layers of the skin to
stimulate collagen rebuilding.
The infrared light source works in two different ways,
firstly by heating up the weak collagen, and secondly,
the light encourages the skin to produce new collagen
over a period of months, which then results in a smoother,
tighter, younger looking skin.
Patients of all ages can benefit from the treatment
and is perfect for those with busy schedules as the
procedure can take anywhere from 10 minutes to one hour,
depending on the size of the area being treated.
With the Titan procedure™ there is no down-time so a
person can immediately return to work or their day to
day business.
The number of treatments required will depend on the
area being treated and the results will vary depending
on the individual, however most patients usually only
require one to two treatments at the most and results
can be seen immediately with the ultimate result seen
progressively over the following months.
Clinic Aesthetic provides medically accredited and clinically
qualified non-surgical cosmetic services. For further
information on the Titan and other services offered
by Clinic Aesthetic, please contact (07) 3010 3388 or

Deliriously Detoxed: with Vanessa Finnigan!
Often
the word 'detox' conjures up images of Hollywood celebrities
in drug and alcohol rehab. A herbal detoxification however,
is life changing for people with ailments as well as
healthy people seeking improved vigour.
I remember back in my pre-detox days, my body was crying
out for some attention. In my late teens, I used to
regularly mix up bowls of icing sugar and eat packets
of lollies. Although I never put on any weight eating
bags of sweets, I started to think about the damage
I could be doing to my body. By the time I reached my
early 20's, I had poor energy and the sugar cravings
played havoc with my blood sugar levels and general
health. As a result, I suffered from hypoglycaemia,
yeast infections and mood fluctuations. Eating a lot
of sugar was like a 'hit'; I'd laugh hysterically and
have heightened energy, later on however, I'd start
to feel sluggish and would become quite irritable. These
were the issues that led me to see a medical herbalist
to start the detoxification process.
I approached my first liver detox with a mix of trepidation
and excitement. I took home bottles of strange smelling
concoctions, an enema kit (no comment), and a list of
foods to consume and foods to avoid. On one night, I
mixed up a special brew of grapefruit juice, olive oil
and tincture which I skulled around 10pm. This was pretty
well the antidote to any Friday night partying fantasies
I was entertaining in my mind. It was all worth it the
next day when I saw hundreds of gall stones floating
in the toilet. I painlessly removed about 1000 gallstones
and other toxic substances over a two to three year
period. I undertook herbal kidney, liver and bowel detoxifications,
at home as well as on retreats with other keen individuals
who I'll refer to as 'detoxers'. When you are processing
a lot of pain sometimes it helps to talk to others who
have walked the path.
Interestingly, my non-detoxing friends for a small period
thought I was detoxing to try to lose weight. However,
my focus was to feel well, alive and consume nourishing
foods. I actually valued myself considerably to start
thinking about what I was putting into my body. My body
became quite sensitive to certain foods and I started
to see the link between the food I was putting into
my body and my resultant mood and energy.
With each cleanse I'd feel a plethora of experiences.
There were many different emotions that surfaced both
during and after the main detox periods. Sometimes I
would feel cold and weepy or at other times irritable
and feverish. I would also usually feel wiped out energetically
for a little while afterwards. It wasn't long however,
before my body started feeling alive as the toxic burden
was being released. Instead of desiring sweets, my body
started asking for brown rice, pulses, vegies and other
nutritious foods.
Interestingly, the physical detox is just one part of
the process; I also had to look at the emotional issues
and beliefs underneath the conditions that were manifesting
physically. Despite all my training, I still needed
to address what role the sugar was playing in filling
a void in my life in my early adult life. I was using
the sugar as a pick me up, to deal with boredom and
patches of loneliness. The sugar was like an external
mother that soothed and told me it was all going to
be okay. I realised that I needed to walk back inside
myself and stay there and feel the depth of what was
there. At this point the emotions were transmuted.
This took determination to be continually 'sitting'
with those different emotions, watching them as they
changed and releasing them. At the same time, I was
observing my mind as it ran through negative interpretations.
When I observed without judgement, I started to see
how the mind retrieves the same old beliefs. Bit by
bit the freedom came from standing back and seeing that
those negative thoughts are not the truth. They are
however at the time very convincing and repetitive and
limit the inner wisdom. As you can see, an emotional
detox goes hand in hand with a physical one.
This is not an overnight process, and there is a lot
of dedication required. After years of consuming junk
products and other toxic substances, the body takes
some time before it is in balance again. When I listened
to myself there was a voice that was saying, keep going
this is all for the greater good. My inner guidance
directed me to keep doing emotional and physical detoxes
even after things had improved and when things were
going along well.
Before I started detoxing, my body was like an old Toyota
Corona; it still went no matter what fuel I put in it,
but it was only a matter of time before it cut out.
Once I started detoxing, my body became like a Formula
One car, so I had to take more care to make sure it
ran on the best fuel, otherwise it would not perform
well. Eating fresh and preferably organic food is the
best way I've found to nourish the body. The general
public seem to be realising that detoxing has become
critical with growing toxic environmental factors.
I still have a piece of cake now and again but I'm always
interested in my indifference to sugar. I usually feel
much better when I eat something wholesome and full
of nutrients. It's such a blessing to feel like my sugar
demon does not have a hold over me anymore. I'm free!
I also can choose to eat the odd sweet at my own discretion.
Being a 'detoxer' is not for the feint hearted, it's
hard work and takes persistence but the results are
well worth it. Although I have detoxed over many years,
it's still an ongoing journey and an act of love to
be aware of thoughts and emotions and how they influence
food choices.
