Woman Centred Healing

”The famous Italian diver Enzo Mallorca dove into the sea of ​​Syracuse and was talking to his daughter Rossana who was aboard the boat. Ready to go in, he felt something slightly hit his back.
He turned and saw a dolphin. Then he realized that the dolphin did not want to play but to express something.
The animal dove and Enzo followed.
At a depth of about 12 meters, trapped in an abandoned net, there was another dolphin. Enzo quickly asked his daughter to grab the diving knives. Soon, the two of them managed to free the dolphin, which, at the end of the ordeal, emerged, and issued an "almost human cry" (describes Enzo).
(A dolphin can stay underwater for up to 10 minutes, then it drowns.)
The released dolphin was helped to the surface by Enzo, Rosana, and the other dolphin. That’s when the surprise came: she was pregnant!
The male circled them and then stopped in front of Enzo, touched his cheek (like a kiss), in a gesture of gratitude and then they both swam off.
Enzo Mallorca ended his speech by saying: “Until man learns to respect and speak to the animal world, he can never know his true role on Earth." ~ Vangelis.”

The vagus nerve is having a well-deserved moment. Quick biology lesson: the vagus nerve starts in the brain and extends downward into the lungs, heart, and intestines, as well as into several muscles. It affects swallowing, sweating, digestion, speech, and heart rate, among other bodily functions. Recent research supports claims of the nerve's impact on our health, including everything from influencing mental well-being to triggering anti-inflammatory responses.

The DailyOM Journal team set out to understand what the vagus nerve can do for you and six expert-backed ways to stimulate it. Read more here: https://bit.ly/3ieLOp8

New Year is about new beginnings and fresh starts.

Which feels great!

But how long does it last?
Why do we self-sabotage when we really consciously want to change?

We are all governed by our subconscious brain, it runs our whole body, and it has beliefs about you and what is safe for you.

If that is different from your conscious thoughts, then you will have issues.

If you would like to succeed in your new year's resolutions this year, then reach out and let's discover what has stopped you in the past. Let's uncover your subconscious core beliefs.

Study finds that pregnancy sits at the ‘absolute limits’ of human endurance A study has found that women go to the absolute limits of human endurance during the peak of their pregnancy, suggesting it really is as hard as women say it is.

What The Vagus Nerve Is And How To Stimulate It For Better Mental Health Healthy vagal tone means emotional regulation, greater connection, and better physical health as well.

Parenthood is not the same for everyone.

Some people have a whole tribe of family and friends for support, others are alone. Some have a textbook birth, others experience birth disappointment or trauma. Some find breastfeeding a snap, and for others it is a battle.

So while we might all have a baby, we don't all experience it the same way. We all have different strengths, resources and challenges.

So it is vitally important not only to be kind to others, but also to be kind to ourselves as we are navigating the various changes and challenges of being a parent.
