I tried BF a number of years ago, and although I did get results, the breathing was too harsh, and I had to hide in my bedroom to do the workout. Recently, I have been doing some breathing exercises from " Jumpstart Your Metabolism " , but have not seen the same kind of change that I did from BF. I am looking forward to trying a gentler breath that I can do throughout the day. ~~ Jocelyne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 22, 2003 Report Share Posted September 22, 2003 Which breaths were you doing? Many people have had great results from doing the Baywatch Bikini Breath from that book. It is one that can be done throughout the day. Karma http://www.loaves-n-fishes.com Re: Digest Number 1449 > wrote: > >I too started with BF.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 I feel I must reply to these 2 postings if only to encourage Senate readers. I see Sure Start as a means (not the means) to an end, with the end being the provision of locally delivered services based on need; I'm not just talking about health services either. Sure Start has enabled innovative work to take place and initiatives to develop that would have been unlikely to have happened without this opportunity. In the PCT where I work, what our health team is doing is seen as a pilot for wider practice development and the aim is to replicate this new model of service delivery elsewhere, particularly in other regeneration areas that have not yet had the benefits of Sure Start. I don't see that any developments have to be limited to families with pre-school children as what we're talking about is essentially a community development approach. Yes Sure Start is going, but my understanding of children's centres is that the PCTs will not be expected to provide all the funding. One of Sure Start's many legacies will be the multi-agency working - and funding - that is meant to be continued. If we don't hang onto this hope I for one would see no point in doing what I do as, for me, the return to the traditional ways is not an option. Gill Re: Digest Number 1445 Thank You Gill your experience is fascinating, it seems to echo what I hear of many Sure Starts. Our local Sure Start is in wave 6 and only just up and running!! It seems to be bound up in red tape, trying to recruit and ultimatley relying on agency staff, with any referrals not being actioned and very little actual family support work being carried out! I am also mindful of the postcode issue and find the criteria of postcoding a difficult one as I believe needs assessment should be the way of getting services. (I live and Dream!!) Our PCT on the other hand is very supportive of Public health work and desperate to get away from the medical model of health visiting. We are about to cease child health surveillence in the traditional sense and replace it with group health promrotion sessions. I have to agree with the comment though that it is often health visitors that are resistant to change and we have experienced that within our trust also. Well I better get back to my assignment, posting this was a nice excuse to have a break!! Lifelong learning eh?? love it or loathe it it has to be done! Rees > Go easy Ruth.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 > Thanks for the info. I will watch out for those side effects. I'm feeling much better this week and seem to have more energy since starting on Arava. I was even on my feet for 3 hours last night. I haven't done that in over a year. How long were you on this before the numbness and tingling started. I've had okay luck with Arava, although I've only been on it 6 weeks or so. The fatigue is better, as is some of the joint pain, but I'm still only able to work a couple of hours at a time. And forget dishes, laundry, gardening, etc. But I've had no side effects and apparently my labs are okay since I haven't heard from them... Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 Dear ,By disappointing, do you mean that they still felt OK but weren't as wowed by the T3 & T4 training as the first time around? By all means, I would continue it for few more sessions and monitor whether the trainee notices that he or she feels better overall, perhaps in subtle ways. I've noticed that when temporal training is indicated by the assesesment, it almost always prompts a dramatic and immediate response--people just feel sooo much better. As they continue training at the temporals, the effects become stabilized. So, they continue to feel better but the effects are not so dramatic. You could also, at the same sites, try a squish (18-35 down) or a windowed squash (allowing alpha and lowbeta to increase). Trainees sometimes prefer one approach over the other.
