heretix@blueyonder.co.uk — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 00:00:00 +0100

Acupuncture began more than 2,000 years ago and is an important part of traditional Chinese medicine (also called Oriental Medicine). Originally, 365 acupoints were identified, corresponding to the number of days in a year. Over time, the number of acupoints grew to more than 2,000. Traditional acupuncture needles were made of bone, stone, or metal, including silver and gold. Modern acupuncture needles are made of very thin sterile stainless steel and are disposable.

Summer holiday and care of the skin

heretix@blueyonder.co.uk — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 00:00:00 +0100

mineral water and culinary oil

Water

Water is a basic ingredient that is essential to life in any form. It makes up around two-thirds of the human body and is constantly being lost in the form of sweat, water vapour, urine and faeces. We need to drink 1–2 litre water every day.
Water varies in nutritional value. The quality of the tap water in large urban areas is often poor. It may have been recycled 3–4 times and contain traces of ho [...]

Listening to the Messages of Your Soul

heather@karunaretreats.com — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 00:00:00 +0100

Have you ever sat with the fluid complexity of your thoughts and feelings, witnessing each one and accepting each one as it arises, and then watching it as it dissolves into the next moment and the next? Have you ever acknowledged what your mind and your heart are expressing in this moment, and enquired into what they might be saying to you?

The Power of Intention

heather@karunaretreats.com — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 00:00:00 +0100

My heart was broken. I was in great distress. It was late spring, the most beautiful time of the year, and I had been jolted violently out of my blissful reverie. The man that I loved passionately and whole-heartedly had decided he couldn't be in relationship with me any more - it was too difficult, too painful, like many relationships these days - and he would not negotiate or even discuss the matter. We had only moved in together 8 months ago, and I loved [...]

New Detox Recipes for LIFE

heather@karunaretreats.com — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 00:00:00 +0100

Did you know that of the 58,000 high animal species on the planet we are the only ones that denature our food by multi-level processing and then cooking? Modern human technology has made it possible to manufacture substitutes to most of the ingredients of life, and huge amounts of energy and finances are invested in convincing us these produces substances are superior. I believe as a result we suffer loss of a natural experience of wellbeing in body, mind and spirit.

An Invitation to Freedom

Introduction

This is an experiment. I hope you don't mind me experimenting on you. I seem to be in a ‘po' moment in my life. A ‘po' moment is something I heard about from a friend of mine. He was telling me that in the 70s companies devised this concept of ‘po' in response to times of uncertainty. If a ‘yes' or ‘no' was called for, and someone offered ‘po', the answer was ac [...]

Manifesting a Beautiful Body

heather@karunaretreats.com — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 00:00:00 +0100

A good diet, regular exercise, periodic detoxification, and plenty of pure water are all vital components in the quest for a fit, healthy body. Making time and space for reflection, contemplation, meditation, and relaxation lowers our stress levels and enables our emotional processes, which aids us in our quest for health and well-being. In addition, I would like to suggest that the power of our thoughts plays an important role in what we see when we look in the mirror.

Time To Detox

heather@karunaretreats.com — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 00:00:00 +0100

Time to Detox

I need to detox. I know it because I am feeling sluggish in the morning. I have less energy than usual, I have greyish circles under my eyes, and I'm craving substances that aren't contributing to my health like coffee and sugar.

Even detox experts need to detox from time to time. I have my weaknesses, my bad habits, my times of overconsumption, and my compulsions. I need to detox and [...]
