Panic attacks

During a panic attack you get a rush of intense mental and physical symptoms. It can come on very quickly and for no apparent reason.

A panic attack can be very frightening and distressing.

Symptoms include:

a racing heartbeat
feeling faint
sweating
nausea
chest pain
shortness of breath
trembling
hot flushes
chills
shaky limbs
a choking sensation
dizziness
numbness or pins and needles
dry mouth
a feeling of dread or a fear of dying
a churning stomach
a tingling in your fingers
feeling like you're not connected to your body
Most panic attacks last between 5 and 20 minutes. Some have been reported to last up to an hour.

The number of attacks you have will depend on how severe your condition is. Some people have attacks once or twice a month, while others have them several times a week.

Although panic attacks are frightening, they're not dangerous. An attack will not cause you any physical harm, and it's unlikely you'll be admitted to hospital if you have one.

When to get help

See a GP if you've been experiencing symptoms of panic disorder.

They'll ask you to describe your symptoms, how often you get them, and how long you have had them.

They may also carry out a physical examination to rule out other conditions that could be causing your symptoms.

It can sometimes be difficult to talk about your feelings, emotions and personal life, but try not to feel anxious or embarrassed.

You may be diagnosed with panic disorder if you have regular and unexpected panic attacks followed by at least a month of continuous worry or concern about having further attacks.

The healing journey from childhood traumas is a deeply personal and individual process that varies from person to person: For some individuals, healing from childhood traumas may take months, while for others it may extend over several years. The duration of healing can depend on various factors, including the nature, severity or complexity of the trauma, the depth of emotional wounds ot the individual's resilience, their support system and the therapeutic approaches utilised to heal them.

The goal is not to completely erase the impact of childhood traumas but to cultivate resilience, develop healthy coping mechanisms to create a fulfilling and meaningful life beyond the past; Healing requires a commitment to self-exploration, self-compassion and a willingness to confront and integrate the painful experiences of the past. As healing progresses, you may experience significant shifts in your emotional well-being, life outlook , improved self-esteem, healthier relationships and inner peace: Healing childhood traumas involves not only resolving past wounds but also nurturing self-care at the present.

I'm sharing Energy Healing Facts by Karma Gaia today, as more and more people are turning to Holistic therapies to help them through life's challenges.

1. Energy Healing is Based on Scientific Fact

Everything in this universe is composed of molecules that are vibrating at various frequencies. The molecules located within our bodies are constantly vibrating and radiating positive or negative, balanced or unbalanced, opened or closed frequencies. When our organs are misaligned energetically and radiating low-vibrational frequencies, it can materialise into physical ailments, like pains, sickness and disease.

2. Energy Medicine Can Help Heal Physical and Emotional Traumas

Our energetic bodies are intertwined with our physical bodies. All the traumas we carry physically, emotionally and psychologically impact the functionality of our energy systems (chakras) and vice versa. To maintain vibrant health, the body needs its energies to have energetic space to flow freely throughout the body. When energies become blocked because of traumas, toxins, prolonged stress and muscular constrictions, it creates disturbances in the energy flow in our bodies, which over time contributes to mental, emotional issues and/or ailments and physical disease.

3. Energy Healing is Available to Everyone

There is often a misconception that you need to be spiritual to be open and receptive to energy healing. Energy healing is readily available to everyone who is interested and willing to receive it. You do not need to be spiritual or hypersensitive to energies to benefit from an energy healing treatment. As humans (just like every living being), we all have an energetic body that needs to be balanced and taken care of regularly. Some energy medicine modalities, like reiki treatments, transcend time and space. Therefore, you do not have to be in the same room, city or even country as your energy healer to receive and benefit from energy healing treatment.

4. Energy Medicine is Painless and has no Negative Side Effects

During an energy healing treatment, patients will feel little to no physical discomfort. During the session, patients will be lying comfortably on a bed while the practitioner non-invasively assesses their aura and releases energetic blockages from the body.
As the blockages are being released and chakras are being balanced, patients will experience a rebalancing process that may evoke a variety of emotions or physical sensations, like tiredness, anger, sadness, emptiness, or light headedness. This usually occurs when a deeply embedded trauma or attachment is finally released from the physical, emotional and energetic bodies. It is essential to allow your mind, body and soul to acknowledge the trauma that has been released during your energy healing treatment and fill that space with new, light, healing energies.

5. Energy Medicine Works with Almost Every Other Type of Healing

Energy healing therapy has been used to treat various health conditions and complements many other forms of treatments and therapies. Combining holistic therapies, like Reiki Energy Healing, with conventional health treatments can help you optimize your health and wellbeing. There is no “one size fits all” when it comes to healing. Energy medicine does not replace Western Medicine and vice versa. But together various forms of healing modalities and therapies can work in conjunction to effectively support, balance, restore and repair your body.

We offer talking therapy (counselling) which provides the tools and resources necessary for tackling problems and difficult thoughts and emotions more resourcefully.

As a consequence, therapy results in more helpful thinking patterns and realistic perspectives of events, more balanced emotions, and more helpful behaviours, which inevitably leads to an improved quality of life. The benefits of therapy are not limited to the time therapy lasts, and the strategies and resources learnt in therapy can continue to benefit individuals long after therapy has ended, promoting lasting changes and improved mental well-being.

We offer Adult counselling Monday + Evening and Friday.

Apple Cider Vinegar.

Some of you have asked me if apple cider vinegar has health benefits and is there evidence for this?

I use it at home for making salad dressings, preserving and every where else you would use malt vinegar.

There has not been extensive research into its benefits that I am aware of but, I'm happy to be corrected 😊

Apple cider vinegar lets call it (ACV) so i dont have to keep typing it 👍has been touted for various health benefits, some of which have limited scientific support. Here are some commonly mentioned benefits along with evidence:

1. **Weight Loss**: Some studies suggest that vinegar, including ACV, may help promote weight loss by increasing feelings of fullness and reducing calorie intake. However, more extensive research is needed to confirm these effects.

2. **Blood Sugar Control**: Research indicates that ACV may help lower blood sugar levels after meals and improve insulin sensitivity in individuals with insulin resistance. Some studies have shown that vinegar can reduce blood glucose spikes.

3. **Digestive Health**: ACV is often claimed to improve digestion and gut health, potentially due to its probiotic content if it's unfiltered. However, scientific evidence supporting these claims is limited.

4. **Heart Health**: Some limited human studies suggest that ACV may help lower cholesterol levels and blood pressure, which can benefit heart health, but further research is needed.

5. **Antimicrobial Properties**: ACV has been known to have antimicrobial properties and may help in food preservation. Some studies have shown that it can inhibit the growth of certain bacteria and pathogens.

While there are some promising results, it's essential to note that many of the studies on ACV have been carried out on small sample sizes of people. While there are potential benefits, more extensive research is necessary to confirm these effects definitively.

Always consult with a healthcare professional before making significant changes to your diet or health routines, and always dilute before you drink. (1 tablespoon of ACV in a glass of water)

🔹TRIGGER WARNING 🔹

Why do I self-harm?

There are many reasons why you might self-harm and these reasons will be different for everyone. You might be dealing with lots of intense thoughts and feelings and hurting yourself might feel like the only way to let those feelings out. Or you might feel numb and want to hurt yourself so that you can feel something.

For some people, self-harm feels like a way to show the feelings they have inside on the outside. It can be a way of:

- expressing a feeling that you find hard to say
- reducing overwhelming emotional feelings or thoughts
- gaining a sense of control
- punishing yourself for feelings or experiences
- expressing suicidal feelings or thoughts

People often start self-harming due to something stressful or upsetting that’s going on in their life.
You might not always know the reason why you’re self-harming. If you’re unsure why, or don’t understand the reasons, you might feel confused and unsure what to do. But with a bit of help, you might be able to identify the triggers and find other ways of managing your feelings.

Right folks it looks like the end of the road. Unless a miracle happens in the next two weeks I’m going to have to close for good.
I made the shop exactly how I wanted it and didn’t compromise. If it doesn’t pay doing it honestly then I don’t want to do it anymore.
