Ahimsa means anything from non-harming other people, animals, world around you, yourself etc. I often take ahimsa as our responsibility of no injury but without being stuck on our principles which could endanger others. This includes using essential oils in a yoga class without the individual consents of the students.
Meditation is a powerful tool. When we feel confused, upset or distracted, we can be healed and uplifted by chanting the sound of the Maaaaa from our heart.
Increasingly popular, turmeric latte, how is it made? And what are the benefits?
An interesting exchange that perhaps is marking a way forward for yoga and therapy. It's taken directly from the House of Lords website and the full article can be found there. https://www.theyworkforyou.com/lords/?id=2019-03-21b.1527.7
Turmeric has excellent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. But it has to mixed with fat and pepper to make it bioavailable for your body. Coconut oil is a source of essential fatty acids and helps the body absorb fat-soluble vitamins such as A, D, E and K. Coconut oil contains a high proportion of a type of fat called Medium Chain Fatty Acids (MCFAs), most notably in the form of lauric acid.

Approximately 38 per cent of women seek help from a GP according to the Nuffield Health Group Research. Majority of those are advised to start HRT. Does it help? Or is the natural route better. Everyone is different....
Approximately 38 per cent of women seek help from a GP according to the Nuffield Health Group Research. One quarter of those women were misdiagnosed and the possibility of symptoms being menopause related was missed. Are we afraid to see GPs because of misdiagnoses and the general lack of knowledge out there? Or because of the complete misinterpretation of HRT (it is still the preferred go-to medication)?
Menopause is a natural condition and should be embraced and accepted as such. However, the symptoms of menopause can sometimes be so debilitating that just accepting and embracing it isn’t enough (although it helps greatly). I have read so much in the past few years and have talked to many people about it. Some of the websites (and indeed people and organisations) advocate that menopause has been portrayed as an illness by the media and is ‘medicalised’. This in a way undermines the condition and the suffering of many women! Although menopause is a natural condition, the emotional roller coaster that a woman may go through because of the fall in oestrogen levels and other related symptoms may eventually turn into an #illness if not treated. There are far too many #women suffering from menopausal #symptoms that it is time to talk about it and take it more seriously.
