Expand your life in three weeks

Thu, Mar 06, 2014

Harvey Wasserman’s Expand Your Life In Three Weeks workshops have one major purpose — to demonstrate that many emotional problems can respond to simple techniques. Wasserman will present exercises that help with depression, anxiety, and other emotional problems. They will help identify negative thinking and the many beliefs and experiences that limit personal growth and expansion.

“I have learned many of my expansive exercises from the great teachers of the past 50 years, Virginia Satir, Milton Erickson, Al Lowen, and many others,” Mr Wasserman said. “I have studied with native healers around the world and created original experiences of my own. ‘Workshop’ means that I work and you as attendees work, experiencing and perhaps voluntarily sharing your personal experiences. Feedback from past workshops has been very positive, with a few reports of transformational experiences — the lifting of a chronic depression, losing an alcohol addiction.”

Discover the benefits of acupuncture

Thu, Mar 06, 2014

Acupuncture has been practised in China for thousands of years. Underlying it is a theory of medicine which is very sophisticated and produces extraordinary results. Energy flows through meridians or pathways that connect to the internal organs.

In spring, energy peaks in the liver and gallbladder systems, problems here will manifest as a rancid body odour, sluggishness, headache, constipation, craving for chocolate, tendon or ligament problems, indigestion, inflexibility, eye complaints, and quickness to anger and resentment. Gallbladder problems will often cause difficulty losing weight. The Chinese speak of a person with a big gallbladder as being courageous, and equate a small gallbladder with timidity.

Why you can't lose weight — what foods are making you fat?

Thu, Feb 27, 2014

The IgG weight loss system is a revolutionary way to lose weight using blood analysis. Did you know that despite all your efforts to work out and lose weight, if you are eating foods you are allergic or intolerant to it can make you fat? When an intolerance has developed, for example to wheat, the body will hold onto fluids to protect any potentially vulnerable areas, such as the intestinal tract. This water retention causes puffiness and weight gain.
