  The Self-Healing Qualities of Reading a Book I love a good book whether it's fact or fiction. I just really enjoy a good read and in this digital age it's nice to have some time away from the screen. I spend a lot of time choosing a book. I like it to look and feel nice and I think this is all part of the reading experience.  There are so many books, websites, podcasts and online information on well-being and self-healing. It's very difficult to know where to start. So I have put together a list (in no particular order) of my favourite books on this subject. It is not just the content but also the look and feel of the book itself. The Little Book of Hygge - by Meik Wiking Firstly, this is one of the most beautiful looking books I have ever purchased. The colours are calming, the design is so delightfully put together and the whole feel of the book is exquisite.  Hygge is a Danish way of life that encompasses the art of creating cosiness and taking great pleasure from th...

 Hygge - Live Well The little book of happiness .....Denmark, often known as the happiest place on earth is down to 'Hygge' pronounced as  'Hooga' . Hygge cannot be described as a single emotion but about an atmosphere and experience.  Hygge has been called everything from 'the art of creating intimacy' to 'taking pleasure from the presence of soothing things'. It is about the feeling of home, a feeling of being safe and shielded from the world. This beautiful little book was written by Meik Wiking and who better to guide us through all things 'Hygge'.

  My Path to Pranic Healing and Alterative Medicine Alternative medicine is a term we all use today to help us heal in an holistic way. Complimentary and Alternative medicine is a term used to outline many practices that are not yet part of our medical care system.  This does not mean that alternative medicine doesn't work. Alternative medicine can help patients in many ways both physically and mentally. It can be used alone or additionally with mainstream treatments such as medication and physiotherapy. I suffer from panic attacks that seemed to have increased in intensity as I have aged. I prefer to do things in a natural way being an advocate of 'all things healthy'. I have tried other forms of complimentary therapy such as hypnotherapy, acupuncture and various herbal teas and scented oils. Although they have worked in the short term they do not last forever.  My attacks were becoming more frequent and totally exhausting. Not to mention embarrassing if they happened i...
