Autumnal Seasonal urban foragingAutumn (or even late Summer) continuallyoffers us rich delights in both the treesand hedgerows.

Along the river Medway bank at mosttimes of the year, or in the city or in parks,food is plentiful and free!

Health & Safety: prior to picking, checkthat the area & soil are clean, without pollution (or dog pee!) Prior to eating yourbounty, ensure its correct identificationand that it is ripe and edible; wash it well.

Ownership of land, rules: in publicspaces\land, we are entitled to forage or you must ask for the landowner’s permission. It is prohibited in speciallyprotected habitats.

Wild foods offer us an astonishing rangeof nutrients, in vivid colours and deepflavours. They orientate us to preciselywhere we are on the Earth; minimising ourfood miles and carbon footprint!

Berries: Deep red in colour, burgundy Elderberries (Sambucus nigra) grow fromthe delicate creamy coloured Elderflowers and hang in dense clusters.To collect, the clusters break off cleanlyand the berries are easiest prized off witha fork! They are a rich source of Vitamin C.

As an alternative to mixing with sugar fora syrup, use in fresh fruit salads, as a garnish to other deserts or in a juice.Sloes: (Prunus spinosa) preserve formonths in Gin or Brine! Rowan berries (Sorbus aucuparia) stringup to make a garland or pretty orangenecklace or are traditionally cooked upand liquid strained to make a jelly. Hawthorn berries (Crataegus monogyna)are bright red and are renowned to support heart and cardiovascular health.Whether for love and ‘heart-break’ or cardiovascular conditions relating toblood pressure or circulation; eating ahandful of berries (not the pips!) may helptowards this.

Recipes: Hawthorn Berry Elixir andPate\Spread\Dip\Sauce

Blackberries (Rubus) contain Phytonutrients called Anthocyanins whichprovide their blue pigment; it is an antioxidant (may inhibit cancer cell tumour growth). Much more versatile thanas a traditional pie ingredient; use indairy-free ice cream, sorbet and smoothies.

Sea Buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides)little orange berries are predominantlyfound in coastal areas ie close to Cornwall. Their tiny seeds contain Omega

3, 6, 7 & 9 and the pulp & juice are a richsource of Vitamin A, B1, C (20 x as muchas oranges), D & K. Sharp in flavour; bestadded to other recipes and orange or carrot juice, for a nice botanical drink. For further information on Sea Buckthornproducts contact: Tasha & Robin at LittleBrympton renewable energy micro-farm.

Closer to home, Rose Hips (Rosa canina)make an excellent syrup and evendessert. They contain high quantities of vitamin C (so much so, that special teams were created during the 2nd world war, to collect them, to prevent malnourishment!) NOTE! Their seeds are not palatable asthey are covered with tiny hairs whichwere used as the original itching powder,when dried! A straightforward & simplestmethod is to therefore cook the hipsdown in a little water, stir frequently witha spoon until the pulp has dissolved andthe water has become a rich red colour.Remove the skins & seeds by straining theliquid through a sieve. Bottle the liquid touse as an addition in herbal cocktails orform into a jelly by using Psyllium Husksas a gelling agent.

Apples: There are many varieties of Wild& Crab apples (Malus) for use in salads,jellies and desserts. Fresh apple sauce ismy favourite, with a little cinnamon andeven Hogweed seeds!

Seeds: Hogweed seeds (Heracleum sphondylium) are wild spices and formfrom the white umbel clusters of flowersduring springtime.

Safety note: Check and feel certain that theseeds correspond to the leaf shape to ensure it is not a poisonous giant hogweed or Hemlock plant. Since a singleseed contains the blue-print for an entirenew Hogweed plant (they are very robust)their size reflects their culinary strength,with a deep citrusy flavour; similar to a cardamom pod or seed.

Nuts: Hazels, Cob Nuts and Chestnuts(Castanea) make for prickly collection; useprotective gardening gloves when handlingsweet chestnuts, prior to roasting or usingin soup!

Fungi: Refer to a book or guide prior to collecting or consuming any wild mushrooms, for guidance; many varietiesare safe, however a few are poisonous & acouple are deadly! There are many varietiesof mushrooms including Bolettes, ceps,shaggy parasol varieties and bracket fungus(often found on tree trunks and stumps) eg.Chicken of the Woods (Laetiporus) so namedas it’s flesh & flavour resembles that of aroasted chicken (!)

Leafy greensA fresh growth and late crop of Nettles(Urtica dioica)makes an Iron rich tea and\orsoup.

Wild rocket (Diplotaxis tenuifolia) isstronger in flavour than supermarket varieties; collect the bright yellow flowersand seeds to grow in your garden at home...

“Those who know me personally, theyknow perfectly well that for many years Iwas struggling with skin problems, ierosacea, etc., I also have many differentallergies and my skin softer and more sensitive than the one of Snow White. Nomake up could cover it up.. Recently youmight have noticed that I began to look differently and more people started to askme how I managed to achieve this? Well..

My life has changed for ever...Since I discovered this amazing make up,my life has changed. For. Ever. I changed outand therefore in, it gave me exactly what I needed: confidence. Confidence to go outand confidence to look others in the eyesinstead of looking at the floor.Today, I put on some make up in the morning and my entire day is just.. happy,empowered, confident.

EMDR – Eye Movement De-sensitisation ReprocessingEMDR is a powerful psychological treatment method that was developedby a clinical psychologist, Dr FrancineShapiro. A wealth of research has beenconducted demonstrating the benefits ofEMDR in treating psychological trauma.

In 1987, a respected American Clinical Psychologist and Researcher, Dr FrancineShapiro, made the chance observation thateye movements can reduce the intensity ofdisturbing thoughts and feelings under certain conditions. Dr Shapiro studied thisscientifically. In the 1989 edition of TheJournal of Traumatic Stress, she reportedsuccess using EMDR in treating victims ofsevere trauma. Since then EMDR has developed rapidly, and has been widely researched. It is now used by trained therapists all over the world.

Recent research also suggests benefits ofusing EMDR in treating a number of conditions including anxiety disorders, depression and chronic pain. EMDR hasbeen found to be of benefit to children aswell as adults.

When an individual is traumatised, he/shemay experience such strong emotions thattheir brain becomes overwhelmed. Thebrain consequently is unable to cope with,or process information as it usually does.Distressing experiences become frozen intime. Such events are stored in the brain intheir original raw form and can then be repeatedly remembered as action replaysor intrusive memories. As a consequencethe person repeatedly relives the original

unpleasant event. Remembering in thisway may feel as bad as experiencing it thefirst time because the images, sounds,smells, and feelings don’t change orprocess. Such memories have a lasting negative effect on the way a person seesthemselves, the world and other people. Itcan have a profoundly negative effect onall aspects of their lives.

Normally, when we receive sensory information it passes through an emotionalfilter in our brain called the Amygdala,which is located in the Limbic system ofthe brain. This information then passesthrough another structure, the Hippocampus. The Hippocampus processesinformation for time and space propertiesand allows it to pass to the left hemisphereof the brain. This experience is then storedin memory and something new is learned.

However, when incoming sensory information is emotionally-charged, for example because of a traumatic event orother very disturbing experience, it getsstuck in the Central Nervous System in theright hemisphere of the brain. This stuckinformation does not get processed. Whenreminders of the event occur, the stuckmemory is triggered and is emotionally re-experienced in the present. This accounts for flashbacks, intrusive thoughtsand nightmares that are common symptoms of PTSD.

EMDR seems to directly influence the waythat the brain functions. It helps to restorenormal ways of dealing with problems (i.e.

information processing). Following successful EMDR treatment, memories ofsuch events are no longer painful whenbrought to mind. What happened can stillbe recalled, but it is no longer upsetting.

EMDR appears to mimic what the braindoes naturally during dreaming or REM(Rapid Eye Movements) sleep.

EMDR therapists help clients reprocesstheir traumatic memories by using aprocess that involves repeated bilateralstimulation of the brain while noticing different aspects of the traumatic memory.It is believed that the bilateral stimulationof EMDR creates biochemical changes inthe brain that aid processing of information.

EMDR can be thought of as an inherentlynatural therapy which assists the brain inworking through distressing material utilising a natural process.

Research studies have shown that EMDRcan markedly accelerate the healingprocess after a traumatic experience andthat the effects are long lasting. In fact,there are now more scientifically controlledstudies on the treatment of post-traumaticstress disorders with EMDR than with anyother form of psychological treatment.

EMDR is highly effective, often preferred byclients and generally of shorter durationthan other treatment methods.

What conditions can be treated withEMDR?l Post-traumatic Stress Disorder after

road accidents; physical or sexual assault, natural disasters or any other life-threatening event.

l Phobias resulting from a traumatic or

distressing event e.g. injections, hospital, dental treatment, flying; fear ofpublic speaking.

l Anxiety disorders and panic attacks.l Grief or loss.l Stress or sleep problems.l Depression and low mood disorder.l Low self-esteem and lack of confidence.

Treatment may be of benefit to anyone whofeels distressed by any of these symptomsor who finds that their life has beenchanged by overwhelming experiences.I am an experienced Analytical Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist, basedin Whitstable, with clinics in Kent and London. My background as a Criminologistled me to undertake specialist training inEMDR as a first line treatment for trauma. Ifocus on investigating and therapeuticallydealing with the underlying cause of theclient’s psychological upset.

Most patients come to The Clinic once theyhave unsuccessfully tried for a long time allother traditional methods to diagnose andget help with their health problems.Whilst traditional medicine deals with thehuman body on a "macro" level, this clinicuses equipment that helps analyse what isgoing on in the human body on a "micro"level.

That is why a lot of problems that cannot beseen when using traditional methods e.g.:blood tests etc. can actually be successfullytreated by Betty Clarke ‘Inside Out healthcare Clinic’.

The machine used for diagnosing healthproblems in the Clinic can measure how different parts of the body are functioning byusing non-invasive electronic current. The small hand held metal baton held by thepatient conducts energy through the bodyand the results obtained by measuring manydifferent acupressure points on the handsand feet that correspond to different parts ofthe patient's body.

Once these measurements are obtained, thebody is checked against different viruses,bacteria’s, parasites, fungus etc. that are either inherited or acquired in our life tospecify which already exist in the patient.

Once the problems are identified and the effective remedies that will counter off thenegative effect of the problems have beenidentified, the remedies are then offered forthe effective treatment. . The method ispainless, non-invasive and extremely precise. The remedies taken are all made homoeopathically and therefore are verysafe to use for any age. We have treated very

small babies to over 90’s successfully.The success rate of the treatment is over90% and the method is adequate not only asa tool to treat existing health problems butalso as a preventative for future health issues.

Explanation about the Method The patient holds the negative pale or electrode in his/her hand, from which whenusing the Voll machine nine tenths of a voltenters the body and thus energises the body. When you therefore place the probe (which ispositive) on an acupuncture point you arecompleting the circuit.

In other words via peripheral nerve the organpart is energised, via a reflect arch you arenow reading the resistance of the organs vitality as a backtracking coupling or as acompletion of the electronic circuit.

This is known as ‘THE WHEAT STONE BRIDGEMETHOD’. This was originally discovered byDr R Voll in 1954.

So this type of testing has been around for along time, used by many doctors and specialist in Germany, Holland and a few ofus in the UK. Over many years!

Betty has been using this method of healingfor over 20 years and has been very successful in getting people of all ages backto health.

Breakinghabits andtaking controlof the mind

Theresa BorgWhen I trained as a hypnotherapist, I wastaught about the power ofsuggestion and repetition.A belief is actually only athought that you havepracticed repeatedly and

thus seen in action.

Habitual thoughts lead to habitual behaviour and repeated outcomes!

One’s beliefs are collected from a mixtureof information and values given to us fromothers: from parents, society, our educatorsand peers. We also collect beliefs from ourpast experiences.

Alongside our beliefs, a range of pre-suppositions exist which are valuesthat are taken for granted or acceptedwithout proof. I would say that the twomost common but damaging suppositionsis that change, especially changing whoyou are, is difficult and that you are powerless to change your life and circumstances. These are beliefs or

suppositions that you may have taken onboard, but never really questioned. Theseare limiting beliefs because they severelyrestrict your personal potential. I believe that you are not powerless andthat change is not difficult once you areaware of why you hold a particular belief. Limiting beliefs often run continuously andform part of the self-perpetuating feedbackloop which does exactly what it says on thetin. You run the program: change is difficult(this is the belief), you see the result: I cannot quit smoking, for example (this isthe feedback that you are seeing) and thusthe program is reinforced: See, I told youchange is difficult (self-perpetuating).

We think seeing is believing but really it isbelieving is seeing! Therefore ‘Change is difficult’ becomes just that because you believe that it is so.

This is an important difference because thelatter says that you are in control (if you areconscious and aware of your beliefs programs) while the first ensures that youare a victim to events.

Everything is being generated by your personal belief programming. That’s whythe car manufacturer Henry Ford’s “If youthink you can or you think you can’t, eitherway you will be right” quote is so apt here.You get exactly what you believe you willget, consciously or subconsciously.

It is important to remember here that thesubconscious mind always has your health,wellbeing and safety as its central purpose.It will doggedly create your reality from the

strongest belief or do its utmost to protectyou from your strongest fears. It is a loyalservant.

However, what you experience in realitymay not be what ‘you’ as the consciousbeing that experiences the outcomes, oftenfeels is in their actual best interests. It mayon the surface not appear to be a positiveevent or circumstance! Partly this is because the conscious mind is only 5% ofthe decision making process whilst thesubconscious mind makes up the other95%.

This is where the power of hypnosis comesin. As a professional hypnotherapist discovering and then overwriting thosesubconscious belief programs is key to undoing unwanted habitual behaviours,fears and negative patterns. With hypnosisthe trance state is where one can talk directly with the subconscious mind ensuring that any positive change is embedded directly and permanently for thebenefit of the client.

Eight years ago I was riddled with debt, struggling to run my ownhealing business whilstworking a full-time joband studying for a degree.

I had repeat patterns runningabout my money disappearing when I didhave it. I was an expert in my area, very experienced and yet still making that complete jump into the life of my dreams seemed elusive. That was when Idiscovered Theta Healing and my wholelife started to change, fast! Within 6months I was living in my dream house, myhealing work took off in ways I had neverimagined possible and now my life is unrecognisable, I now run a successful international business doing what I love, so much so that it doesn’t feel like work,just an extension of what brings me themost joy, healing and teaching others andit just keeps expanding and getting bettereveryday.

So what changed? What isTheta Healing? And how didthese changes happen? Sofast?

As someone who has always worked doingwhat I loved, I had always followed my ownpath for personal development, I had readand listened to every manifesting process

around, but I seemed to still stay at a certain level. It was getting tiring workingother jobs alongside my healing businessand the drive to bring who I really am andwhat I really love doing into every area ofmy life had become very strong. ThetaHealing held the key to this for……….

I had never tried Theta Healing before, Iwent on the 3 day basic course and my lifehas never been the same since. That is whenI discovered the missing link to manifestingabundance and your dreams. During thecourse we learned how to connect to sourceenergy through a superfast meditation technique and to identify, release and resolve limiting beliefs held at the subconscious level and replace them withnew positive beliefs and feeling that of ourchoosing that allow us to create the life wetruly desire, instantly!!!!! We also discoveredhow to download positive feelings of havingsuccess, being happy in new amazing waysand I became much more psychic and intuitive.

You see it doesn’t matter how much you visualise or focus on success and happinessconsciously if you have limiting beliefs,fears and feelings held at the subconsciouslevel because over 90% of what we aremanifesting comes from what is held at thesubconscious level. Many of these deepheld beliefs and programmes, we are noteven consciously aware of. Our subconscious is like a black box recorder

that has been absorbing informationthroughout many lifetimes. These beliefsthen block what we want to create NOW!They are like rogue sabotaging programmes in your minds computer system, once they are removed and replaced you can create and manifest anything you choose, better relationships,health, success and well-being.

We carry programmes from our childhood,genetically from up to seven generations,from past lives and at our deepest soul levels. Take a moment to think about allthe beliefs you were handed down fromyour parents, maybe that money doesn’tgrow on trees, or that you have to workhard for a living. I had genetic programmesthat I would be killed for being a healerfrom other life times, that having money

was dangerous and that if I was too successful I wouldn’t have time for myself.The subconscious is always working to assist you, so if you have such beliefs thenno matter what you ask for consciously,these programmes will over-ride them.Once these were cleared I felt lighter,clearer and everything my life started tomove forward in new abundant ways. The PTSD I had suffered for many years alsodisappeared during the course.

I now work Internationally teaching thesetechniques to others and working throughskype with clients all over the world to helppeople to identify and remove all the subconscious blocks that stand in their wayand to start creating and turning theirdreams into reality.

In 2017 we may experience innovation and change in the ways we seek to communicate with each other. Reflectionand introspection over the winter mayhave caused us to look much more deeplyand with a lot more clarity in the ways wespeak and listen to each other. 2017draws us to use new and old methods of communication, creating new groups digitally and face to face in which to satisfy our need to speak from the heartand hear what others are really sayingand to enjoy the fun that this can bring inmusic, poetry/prose, theatre etc. This willbe welcome as the lack of quality connections with those who matter mostand the wider community in our busylives can extinguish the joy of sharingwith others, one human being to another.

Transiting Jupiter will go retrograde at 2308 Libra on 6/2/17 allowing for the growthof change in our lives to be grounded andfocused while we get used to the impactand work required to make substantialchanges. It will go direct at 13 13 Libra on9/6/17 when we can be ready to enjoy lifemore as some potential moves or changesmay have taken place.

MarchThe full moon at 22 13 Virgo on 12/3/17could see us looking at certain parts of ourlives under a magnifying glass, to try andimprove conditions in a variety of situations. It may be worth asking just howmuch perfection is required to make youand any others content before the overworking itself spoils the intended or hopedfor outcomes.

The new moon at 07 37 Aries on 28/3/17links to the spring energy assertively flowing and the theme of innovativechange for this year begins to take shape.
