We’ve all experienced trauma. It’s part of our human condition and it's impossible to escape it, large or small. We shouldn’t compare traumas, either with ourselves or others. We should simply try to be nice our self and one another in the process of alleviating or removing them!Trauma is the emotional response we experience when we suffer a dramatic event. Perhaps a broken arm, a car accident or the loss of a loved one. Symptoms of trauma fluctuate: from nightmares to flashbacks, feeling constantly in danger, stuck or on the edge. In some cases it can be so extreme that it [...]
For as long as we humans have lived, we have dreamed of becoming Super-Human! Think of the legend of Icarus and how he managed to fly. Now, with Breathwork Techniques, we truly can. The roots of many of these practices are in India. Pranayama is the ancient science of Breath that controls the movement of our prana, or life force, that the Chinese call qi. They use breathing techniques that expand our seed vibration and connect us more closely with the whole universe. Don’t be put off by the strange words or cryptic concepts. I can assure you from personal experience, that exploring[...]
While I know from my 4th form physics classes with Mr Porter that energy can’t be seen, we all know it’s there! Nor can we see love yet we can readily witness the effects it has on ourselves and others. We can certainly feel love and might even experience its physical consequences. And when it comes to internal and external energies it works in exactly the same way. But to begin with we might think energies are just be a bit trickier to identify and feel. Perhaps you can already sense the subtle energies in your body, or in the people and places around you? This feeling could [...]
Just think of it… in centuries gone by, the only remedies we humans sought for our physical or mental ills were magic pills from our witch doctors! In the past 150 years modern medicine has made quite extraordinary progress, which I’ve touched on before. And to tell you the truth, I simply wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for several interventions of doctors and surgeons over the years. But nowadays, as the costs of healthcare increase exponentially, there’s a healthy trend towards alternative cures and even prevention. Indeed, ancient [...]
I’ve seen it many times when I was a banker, when I was running my own business and now with my clients: strength-based management is the key to success. But the science also supports it too. (Majumdar, 2020)! Every person – and employee – is different and should be allowed to express him or herself for who s/he is, without feeling judged or vulnerable. We can’t expect the same behaviours and strengths from all our people - and that’s the good news! Having a diverse assorted and inclusive work environment maximises the potential of our businesses and [...]

So, what are you waiting for to finally follow your aspirations. Finding your best strengths and developing their personal practice will give your career the kickstart you [...]
When you were a child, did you ever dream of having super-powers? Imagining how you’d deploy your new-found flying skills or ability transmute into a snail? Well guess what, we all have super-powers! And they’re called our strengths! Self-awareness is fundamental for developing our full potential and maximising our talents. Often, we focus on our weaknesses and how we might tame them. And in doing so we may be overlooking the potent and powerful reasons we should recognise and indeed play to, our strengths. Here’s some of the science that highlights the benefits of using our [...]
