There can be much misunderstanding and confusion over the real meaning behind symptoms of ‘chronic fatigue’, and what actually causes various kinds and types of debilitating exhaustion.

There can also be much confusion over the difference between the labels of ‘ME’ (myalgic encephalomyelitis), ‘chronic fatigue syndrome’ (CFS), ‘post viral fatigue’, burnout, ‘adrenal fatigue’ and more, all conditions which leave one with the...

"I want you to wake up so I can take a walk" - Gangaji, self-realized spiritual teacher

Warning! This post could trigger some indignant responses, especially if you are metaphorically 'asleep'. That's OK: some people won't like it and some people will love it! This post is for those who are ready to hear the usefulness in what I have to share, because it's truly meant to be a helpful 'wake up' call to help you solve your problems, because I WANT you to be happy and well : )

First...

Today I read in the Guardian that scientists are researching a pill for loneliness***.

So here are my two cents worth on why this is not likely to provide the fundamental 'cure'.

Having experienced much deep loneliness over much of my life, I can speak personally as to the devastating effects of what it's like to be and feel alone.

It affects every layer of our being: mind, emotions, physical and spiritual. 

Research has shown that loneliness can impair health*, for...

"People bully others, or tolerate being bullied by others, in an unconscious effort to protect themselves, either emotionally or physically, or both". 

Bullying and unfair treatment can appear in many shapes and forms, in all walks of life.

It can (and does) happen at school, university... in the workplace... on holiday... at home.

So why is it people become bullies?

And why is it we tolerate unacceptable or unfair treatment?

And more importantly, how do we put a...

Most of the time our attention and consciousness are focused 'outwardly' into the outside world.

Turning our attention inwards to journey within is foreign or uncomfortable for many people.

It takes courage to journey within, because we have to face parts of ourselves we have been avoiding, neglecting or even unconsciously harming.

• We have to start feeling our feelings, something we have often taught ourselves not to do.

• We have to face our fears, heal our past, and re-learn to trust...

I started contemplating that this may be what the rest of my life would look like: virtually house-bound, often bed-bound, unable to work or earn a living, unable to travel or see friends, sometimes even unable to drive the car or do the shopping... basically unable to live what most people would call a 'normal' life... 

24 years ago I walked into work and quit my job without any preemption.

The chronic, ongoing exhaustion which had been building up for several months finally became...

If someone had told me that the cause of my chronic fatigue, which had me virtually house-bound for 10 years, was blocked emotions, I would have laughed them out the door...

As a transformational health coach, the thing I most want to do is help people solve their health and wellbeing problems... fast, efficiently and effectively, with long-lasting results.

In short, I want people to get well quickly so they can get on with their lives, and not repeat the problem again.

And I want them...

Adrenal Fatigue – What is it and could you have it?

Adrenal Fatigue Syndrome - a term first brought to the world by naturopathic doctor James Wilson - is a very real 'syndrome' involving a complex group of symptoms which all track back to severe exhaustion and depletion of the adrenal glands. These two glands sit on top of the kidneys, playing a key role in the endocrine system for maintaining chemical homeostasis in the body.

The adrenals are mostly known for creating two vital...

We see what we perceive rather than the truth of what is.

Misperception

Have you done this...

You're looking through photos from years gone by, and you're amazed, even gobsmacked, at how beautiful (f) / handsome (m) you were when you were younger? 

And the thing that amazes you most is that, at the time when the photos were taken, you thought you were ugly, fat, unattractive?

And now that you look at those very same photos, you are shocked to see just how untrue that...
