If you don’t pay closer attention, you won’t notice what’s right in front of you. Case in point, over the years I’ve had patients come in regularly for months and then one day say to me: “Hey is that sign/picture new? How long has that been there?” I usually laugh (I do have a mean streak) because that sign or …

Have you ever had a moment in your life when the “light bulb over your head turned on”? Have you ever had a flash, an insight, a moment when several things all organically came together and it made sense to you? What if you could have more of these moments? How would your life be different? What if you could …

We spend much of our days managing our lives. Some of us do daily, monthly and yearly planning. We do it so well and so much that we don’t even notice it anymore (until we feel overwhelmed). I have developed the habit of sitting down in the evening to look at what’s on the list of to do’s for the …

Growing up, saying goodbye to summer always felt a little sad, especially when I was still in school:). Maybe it was because I felt I had more freedom during the summer. The days are longer and there’s more to do outside. As I have gotten older, my favourite season has become autumn. Especially these early days are still warm but …

For example, if you hang several pendulum clocks on a wall and set the various pendulums to swing at different speeds, after 24 hours, they will have synchronized with each other.  Schools of fish turn instantly in the water using entrainment to …

I used to watch the Amazing Kreskin on TV when I was a kid. I was amazed at his performances, how it looked like he could read peoples’ minds. When we come across something that we can’t explain and we can’t make sense of, we tend to refer to that as magic. It can be quite stunning to our senses. …

Lately there has been one quote that has become a central focus for me. It’s one that I have shared during workshops. “We are what we repeatedly do. ‘Healing’ therefore is not an action, but a habit” ~ Aristotle I find this quote holds true when it comes to everyday healthy habits such as exercise, time management or diet. But …

Some of you may have heard me use the phrase “talk to your body”, yet I don’t think I’ve explained in detail what I mean. You could have a conversation with it out loud or in your mind. But that’s not the kind of ‘talking’ that I mean. The other day Karen was in and before she got on the …

There have been many books and blogs written about Stress Management. There are many techniques out there that people use to manage their stress including yoga, meditation and tai chi to name just a few.
