You will have seen the recent news about Vitamin D, I've been banging on about this for ever and a day and I'm thrilled that its finally out there !!    I've long held a very controversial view re exposure to the sun, lets face it was not so long ago that sunshine was held in high esteem and Naturopaths prescribed sun 'bathing' in controlled conditions.   'Heliotherapy' was important and the sun and its benefits revered.  Of course we have an ozone layer to think of and I'm not suggesting we all lie flat out for two weeks of the year and burn. 

I regularly take the oral Vit D spray from Better You and they responded to the advice from Professor Dame Sally Davies, recommending that all children aged six months to five years should take vitamin D supplements, particularly during winter, to prevent the condition Rickets and other bone conditions.    Andrew Thomas, Founder of BetterYou says: "BetterYou has led the field in vitamin D innovation for more than two years, producing the market's first vitamin D daily oral spray, in a range of strengths, catering for every vulnerable group.'

Heres an ARTICLE

“Particularly suitable for infants and older children the BetterYou spray is an excellent method of supplementation as there are no difficult tablets to swallow. In addition vitamin D relies on our bloodstream for transportation rather than the gut.   An oral spray ensures faster uptake via the mucous membrane, entering the bloodstream three or four times faster with little wastage”

 DLux400 product provides 400iu of vitamin D in a single spray - the recommended daily amount for children under five years old.

We had a fantastic day Energising and Revitalising and to share some of the awesome moments....First off we each shared what we all feel we need to increase our personal energy, for several of us it was being near the sea, I tend to get anxious and irritated if I don't get my 'fix' of the sea regularly (reminds its been a few weeks nearly time to book another trip) for others it was being in nature, caring for animals, lighting a candle, enjoying yoga and meditation.  One of our lovely group, an actress said just working again doing what she loves gave her so much increased energy, We discussed how important it is to recognise these personal resources and ensure that we look after ourselves and give ourselves the perfect 'fuel' to keep us going.   

We talked out the importance of the right nutrition, simple ways of introducing 100 per cent natural alternatives into your life because without doubt toxic chemicals will be a drain on energy and optimum health. 

Of course Nia is wonderful for increased energy and pleasure, its not a 'no pain no gain' type of workout but it is all about the joy of movement - your body's way.   

EFT master and Trainer Peter Donn joined us after lunch and gave us an insight into the power of EFT, he showed us how we can 'tap away' our own emotional and physical problems and several people who had a slight headache felt better after only about 5 minutes !

Gong master Gordon Coxon did the most awesome inspirational Gong Bath and people had some incredible experiences when we shared how we had felt, I went on a kind of 'journey, a fast train was whooshing along and I felt as if pulled to the right (don't worry - don't think it anything to do with politics!) after a while as I bathed in the healing sound of the gongs I cam back to a central position, Gordon suggested it was a way of my subconscious mind helping me to focus on feeling 'balanced'   

We closed the day with a short session of Yoga Nidra relaxation, it requires no effort, Yoga Nidra means 'sleep' so it was very restful after the Gong bath to drift away but we also a personal ' intention'  to plant deep into our subconscious mind. 

My Yoga Nidra relaxation CD 'Rest Relax and Rejuvenate' including a 'Journey Through The Chakras' will be available soon.  If you want one hot off the press drop me an email.
