HEALTH & WELLBEING

2/8/2022

What does wellbeing mean to you? Is it simply a lack of illness and disease or does it mean that you are filled with joy, vitality and a purpose to life? Welcome to our articles on Health and Wellbeing, which redefine what true health and wellbeing can look and feel like, no matter your age

WHAT IS THIS ILLNESS?

1/8/2022

A couple of weeks ago I noticed pain around the inner part of my eyebrows and at the outer edge of my eyes and cheek bones. It was a clearing, but what was it? Was it eyestrain, sinus, or something else?

“What is this illness?” I asked myself.

CANCER: DISEASE OR AN OPPORTUNITY FOR HEALING?

1/4/2022

Artist: Joseph Barker

It has been my experience that a so-called accident or an illness will occur to bring attention to something that is not being lovingly lived, something that needs eliminating or changing. Ignore the message and it will soon be followed by another and another until the unloving behaviour is addressed. I share my experiences to explain this further.

A DEEPER HEALING OFFERED THROUGH ILLNESS AND DISEASE

“Everything we are, everything we do, say and think matters, for it will either heal or harm the whole we all live in."

WHERE IS OUR FOCUS AS WE AGE?

1/11/2021

It is more or less inevitable that as we age, our body will start to be less flexible, different joints may begin to ache, and accidents cause injuries that take longer to heal. How we deal with or adjust to these circumstances is not only about how we feel physically but it can also influence how we feel emotionally – and socially. Where is our focus? Do we focus on our self, perhaps our ageing and often ailing body, or do we stay focused on others and on living as full a life as is possible in our older years?

TAKING RESPONSIBILITY – I HAVE COME TO LOVE IT

30/9/2021

Taking responsibility not only for my actions but also for my energetic being has greatly supported and contributed to my health. Energetic responsibility is universal and equally valid and important for every human being. This involves taking responsibility for how we are in the world, with ourselves, with other people, our attitude and intentions, not allowing emotions or any conditions, expectations, judgements etc to run and rule our life.

do we contribute to OUR loneliness?

31/8/2021

A group of friends in our community were recently discussing the prevalence of loneliness in today’s society, acknowledging that covid has contributed greatly to the increase in isolation for people of all ages. Even though loneliness existed prior to this, it is now recognised, unfortunately, as an increasing health issue as this graph shows.

As is often the case in life-changing events, everything that took place during and after my breast cancer diagnosis had an impact on my family.

LEARNING TO SLOW DOWN

31/7/2021

This time last year while having my morning shower as my hand passed over my left breast, I became aware of a small lump and more or less knew that this lump was cancerous. It was a small lump but nevertheless significant. I have not before ever wondered what a lump in my breast may feel like and yet in that moment there was an inner knowing.

AN UNEXPECTED TURN OF EVENTS

31/7/2021

How well prepared are we, as we age, to deal with an unexpected turn of events? Are accidents always only a bad-news story or is there personal growth on offer in an event that initially feels unfortunate? These are the questions I’ve been asking myself. Over the past few months, I’ve realised that the opportunity to accept, surrender and evolve may be missed if I don’t surrender to the change brought on by the ‘unfortunate’ turn of events.
