New Energy Bowen Therapy

12/07/2022

I'm letting everyone know that I will be moving to Victoria on Vancouver Island in a couple of weeks. I will be looking for a place to move my practice so in the meantime, I will not be available for treatments. I'll let everyone know once I am set up and have a new address. Thank you for your patience.

We Will Remember Them

Your insular cortex or insula - a hive of activity.

It is an area of the brain that registers pleasant touch.
A painful or “threatening touch” will set off alarm bells and would need a quick response by the brain and the body - those touch signals will predominantly trigger the motor cortex.

What is the insular cortex responsible for?
✅Sensory processing
✅Feelings and emotions
✅Risk prediction and decision making
✅Bodily and self awareness
✅Complex social functions such as empathy and moral disgust.

Alexithymia - a condition where the person is unable to express emotions, will often lead to bodily aches and pains.

The reason why we get aches and pains out of nowhere when we’re extremely stressed out?

Interoception - the ability of the body to monitor and regulate all internal functions also takes place within the insular cortex.

Looking for a better result in treatment - especially for stress related symptoms?
Go easy and watch your touch ❤️

Almost forgot - the vagus nerve plays a big part in interoception!!

Food for thought!

This is what it looks like when men keep their wallets in their back pocket.

Men and wallets .......

I have recycled this post from last year as it is relevant to yesterday’s post.

I’ve often said to my men clients no wallets in the back pocket, especially when sitting. Do you get way not to do this?

Perhaps by looking at the diagram below it will show you what it does. Take a look and then remove that wallet.

Ladies I haven’t forgotten you, your large heavy shoulder bags are for another day.

Bowen at the Olympics!

BOWEN AT THE TOKYO OLYMPICS

This is a post redarding the Romanian rowing team and Bowen Therapy. Dr. Laura Osean is a medical doctor and a Bowen therapist and is responsible for the recovery of the Romanian olympic rowing team.
After a competition, one of the athletes experienced dizziness and Dr.Osean performed the emergency moves on her. The athelete was fine soon after.

What a great testament to the effectiveness of Bowen Therapy!

Make self care a priority.....

You are worth it, if you don't look after you, how can you expect to look after the family.

Wow, it's been a pretty busy spring. I thought this was so appropriate for a lot of people. How many can relate to this?

Hey everyone,

In case you didn't know, I also teach first aid for St John Ambulance. With Covid-19, I need to wear a mask when I teach. This makes the type of mask I wear very important. I found some that fit the bill. They are 3D masks that give me some room between the mask and my mouth so I can speak without the mask getting sucked in close to my face.

They are made by Jennifer Cline and "It's Just a Hobby" Textile Creations. I love my masks and if you need some, Jennifer has a lot of great patterns to choose from including the one I'm modelling. My Christmas Mask. :)

Not the best picture. The lighting wasn't very good but the masks are great!
