Looking for some simple ways to recharge your energy to take better care of yourself? The fabulous Daniele Robson of Tanzanite Blue Holistic Centre today shares some tips to restore your vital energy to help you feel fab.

“How often do we say to ourselves: “I need to relax”/ “I need to take better care of myself”/ “I need less stress in my life” / “I need more time for myself”?

Sounds familiar doesn’t it?

Recharge your energy

Life opens up in so many different ways when your “vital energy” (our invisible blueprint) has been awakened through simple positive lifestyle changes; like regular visits to a holistic therapist.

Did you know that a 60 minute therapeutic massage / reflexology treatment is the same as 7-8 hours of sleep to your body?

So what if we recharged ourselves as often as we do our phones?

Passionate for feeling fab

When people ask me what I do for a living my answer is:

“I am a pain relieving, health improving, back repairing, always caring, muscle kneading, stress relieving Holistic Therapist”. I charge my clients for my time and expertise. My heart is free.

I believe my job as a holistic Clinical Massage Therapist, Reflexologist and Reiki Practitioner is not to heal my clients – but to help them heal themselves by contributing to their own growth what is sufficient and necessary. I believe my clients already have wisdom, answers and capacity within themselves. My role is to help them access these resources through dialoguing and providing tips on a holistic approach to health.

Be your own best friend

We’re all different and sometimes we just need to be our own best friend and put our own needs first. That way, we’re better able to take care of everyone else. (I can definitely relate to that).

As well as exercising and eating right, sometimes the most productive thing we can do is take some time for ourselves to simply relax and reap the many therapeutic benefits offered through complementary medicine, with no unpleasant side effects.

Yin Yang balance to feel fab

Yin Yang are interdependent polar-opposites, necessary in nature and in life itself e.g. night/day, cold/hot, dry/wet. It’s the same with our emotions; happiness/sadness, fear/courage. If an emotion is depleted or there is an excess of that emotion an imbalance occurs that can:

  • harm the hormonal system
  • damage digestive function
  • tamper with body temperature and
  • exacerbate anxiety.

Many common disorders can be directly related to stress or anxiety which can be a breeding ground for disease.

Now for the science bit

A study by the Touch Research Institute, University of Miami School of Medicine:

“Massage therapy was found to decrease cortisol (primary stress hormone) and increase serotonin (a hormone that plays an important part in regulation of learning, mood, sleep and more everyday functions). Also increased dopamine (a neurotransmitter produced in the brain known to help with mood enhancement).”

Thank you Daniele for sharing your expertise.
