It's not the cough that carries you off, but the coughin' they carry you off in. If you aren't feeling well, see a doctor, don't come to me!

Heart attack? Cardiac Arrest? Nah . . . that happens to other people!

But . . . if it does all go breasts up right where you happen to be, what would you do?

Fewer than 1 in 10 people survive an out of hospital cardiac arrest! But the chance of survival can go up to 70% if a defibrillator is used within the first 5 minutes of it happening!

Sudden cardiac arrest can happen anywhere - in the workplace, at home or in public spaces. If there was an emergency, having quick access to a defibrillator and the knowledge to use it can be the difference between life and death. These devices are simple to use and are literally a life saver. So get familiar where they are in the work place, or even get one yourself for use in the home, as heart problem can affect anyone, at any age, at any time. You can find these online at St John Ambulance and many other places, and prices are cheaper than you might think. But what price do you put on a life? What price do you have for your conscious to be quiet? Knowledge is POWER.

Part 2 LED lighting:

How to Protect Your Vision

To minimise risks, experts recommend the following habits:

Follow the 20-20-20 Rule: Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds to allow your eye muscles to relax.

Choose "Warm White" Bulbs: For home lighting, opt for LEDs with a lower colour temperature (2700K to 3000K). These emit less blue light than "cool white" or "daylight" options.

Use "Night Mode": Enable blue-light filtering settings on your devices in the evening to reduce intensity and shift the display toward warmer tones.

Keep Your Distance: Sit approximately 25 inches (arm's length) from your computer screen and adjust it so you are looking slightly downward.

Part one: The effects of LED lighting on your eyes.

LED lighting is generally safe for everyday home and office use, but its high concentration of blue light can impact your eyes and overall health. While modern LED screens typically emit less than 10% of the maximum safe limit for retinal protection, prolonged or intense exposure can lead to discomfort and long-term risks.

Retinal Impact: High-intensity blue light can cause phototoxicity, potentially damaging retinal cells. Some studies suggest this may accelerate age-related macular degeneration (AMD), though human research is ongoing.

Digital Eye Strain: Extended use of LED screens often leads to symptoms like dry eyes, blurred vision, and headaches. This is frequently due to a reduced blink rate when staring at devices.

Sleep Disruption: Blue light inhibits the production of melatonin, the hormone that regulates your sleep-wake cycle. Using LED screens late at night can trick your brain into thinking it is still daytime, making it harder to fall asleep.

Flicker Sensitivity: Some LEDs have an "invisible flicker" caused by fluctuations in electric current. This can trigger migraines, eye strain, and vision fatigue in sensitive individuals.

IEMT (Integral Eye Movement Therapy) course complete! Now for the case studies and certification. IEMT is a brilliant "rapid change" therapy that does NOT involve hypnosis, and will be part of my on-going professional development. A really effective, successful and complementary therapy to run alongside my Hypnotherapy practice here in Hawkinge. I look forwards to helping you out in the not too distant future.

Anyone else having problems with sky Internet? Or is it just more rubbish than usual?

Take a look at this:

Dabney Ewin (1986, 1992a) discusses at some length an important example of the iatrogenic imprint that doctors often inadvertently create when they tell patients with persistent pain that (1) they will always have the pain, and (2) they must learn to live with the pain. The patient's unconscious, which is literal, interprets this to mean that (1) the patient will always be in pain and (2) the patient would die if he or she were to be rid of the pain. The patient's unconscious therefore is unwilling to let go of the pain.

This is most definitely true! You will have constant pain!!!

That's where Hypnotherapy comes in, because it can get into the subconscious and change that!

So if you're suffering constant, niggling pain with no medical reason for it - give me a call.

You have nothing to lose, but your pain.

I just want to say Happy Christmas to everyone I know on here! It's been a bit of a challenge this year for several reasons, so I'm hoping next year will see us all in a better place. In the meantime, I hope you all have a great festive break from the norm and get those batteries recharged ready for the new year.
