Here’s a new way to beat stress - mow the lawn!!!
27/08/2009 by Cathy.
Researchers have discovered that a chemical released from cut grass and other vegetation can work directly on the brain in the amygdala and hippocampus areas which are responsible for emotions and memory.
Apparently it can reduce stress and boost memory in addition to preventing damage to the hippocampus normally resulting from chronic stress.
According to this Telegraph article, (see link, below) the Australian researchers have produced a perfume spray which will soon be available.
“Eau de mow”? (It’s true - its not April 1st)

26/08/2009 by Cathy.
An anti-obesity drug went on sale in the UK in April, under the brand name Alli, without the need for a prescription.
There are concerns in the US about its safety regarding liver damage and these are currently being investigated. You might be interested to read a bit more on the BBC News website.

Leona Lewis has hypnotherapy for confidence
10/08/2009 by Cathy.
It is good to know that people are becoming more and more aware of the effectiveness of hypnotherapy for confidence. In this case, Leona Lewis had suffered, like so many of us, with shyness and timidness in front of an audience.
Leona Lewis has hypnotherapy for confidence
Do you find that there are areas of your life where you can be completely confident and in control, and yet there are others where you behave and feel completely differently?
Especially in our work lives. I meet many people, some of whom have senior positions in their organisation, who are very good at their jobs, very compentant individuals, who have great confidence in most areas of their work lives - and yet there may be just one circumstance or situation that fills them with dread. Maybe it is public speaking, maybe running a meeting, maybe negotiations, perhaps in job interviews, maybe even a meeting with their boss.
These are examples of when our behaviour is being driven unconsciously, without our even being consciously aware of why, and that is why Cognitive Hypnotherapy can be so effective, far quicker than you might imagine, in this area of confidence. In just a few sessions you can walk away with the result you want - totally confident and in control.
