SELF HELP 8

24/09/2012

This month I will share one of my keys to happiness with you:
Love and forgiving are the most powerful healing catalysts:
When we hurt someone or get hurt ourselves, then it is good
to forgive whoever has hurt us and also forgive ourselves for
getting hurt. You can forgive someone in your mind without
talking to the person, if that feels right for you.
On the other hand you can also ask for
forgiveness in your mind without talking to the other person.
Although you may not talk to them for whatever reason, forgiving them on a
soul level from your heart to theirs still mends the situation. We are all
connected, even though we are not always aware of it.

If you like to know more about my keys to happiness, join me for my seminar 'Enable yourself to live a happy and fulfilled life' on the 29th of September.

TIPS & TRICKS SEPTEMBER 2012

01/09/2012

Your health:
Are your legs or feet cramping at night or even during the day?
The pain can be excruciating and stretching the leg as well as pulling the toes upwards helps to ease the pain.
There are several possible reason for the pain and I would like to mention only a few.
You might exercise a lot and don’t drink enough, which results in losing essential minerals due to sweating. The minerals that might be missing are magnesium and potassium.
Foods that will provide magnesium are bananas, almonds, brazil nuts, cashews, pine nuts, pumpkin seeds, buckwheat flour and whole wheat flour just to mention a few.
Foods that will provide potassium are mollusc clams, halibut, salmon, cod, tuna, dried apricots, carrot juice, prune juice, various beans and potatoes.
Age and hormones can also have a big influence on your body and on the way your muscles work.

Your beauty:
Have you ever experienced ingrown hair on your legs?
After shaving or waxing some ladies experience ingrown hair when a few days have passed.
It feels quiet uncomfortable when that happens.
If you gently body brush your legs in circles or use an exfoliant, you will see great results after a few days. The hair will be gently lifted out from under the skin. Try it out and see for yourself, shaving or waxing will seem a lot easier afterwards.

SOUND THERAPY WORKSHOPS IN BLESSINGS, CARLOW

08/10/2012

Indulge, relax and feel light and peaceful

My new sound therapy / seminar room is finished and I can’t wait to make you feel great! I can treat individual clients or have groups of 4-5 people for very enjoyable treatments. See at the end of the article for more info about the bookings.
What is sound therapy and what does it do for you?
Sound therapy is based on the vibration of sound. Since everything is vibrating in the universe (although it may not always be visible to the eye), sound has an effect on the human body and all living beings. Our thoughts, feelings, emotions and experiences make us who we are and how we feel. When listening to music it often triggers an emotion, a feeling of wanting to dance, jump, laugh, sleep and even cry. Sometimes it makes you feel great other times it might scare you (music used in films), and there are times it does not effect you at all. The same goes for words. Words are sound. We can’t touch them, but the effect they can have is enormous. The cells in the body always listen and every cell reacts to what eyes see, ears hear and what a person feels.

A happy mind lives in a healthy body.
A sign that the inner sound is out of tune is if a person is stressed, unhappy, not satisfied with what is happening in their life or feels out of balance and unwell.

Sound therapy helps in a very gentle and harmonising way
to unblock the invisible obstacles in the different areas of the body. Every single cell gets new life affirming and positive information.
My tools: using various instruments has proven that the effects are very positive. The gongs take away the heaviness and make way for the lightness of the chimes and the singing bowls create harmony, joy and realign the energy and rebalance.
All instruments and especially the Crystal and Tibetan singing bowls are very tuned in to each person and know what vibrations are needed to harmonise and balance the bodies energy fields. On many occasions I have been amazed on how different they sound when treating someone or a group of clients. They are like intelligent beings that just pick up wherever the sound they send out is needed. The bowls just play the right sound to the area in the body that needs the calibration and the person feels the difference.
By the way my dog Polly is very tuned in and she loves the sound therapy, especially the crystal singing bowls. She always falls asleep when I play the bowls for her.
My treatments begin with a guided meditation accompanied by the heavenly sounds of gongs, chimes, Tibetan and Crystal singing bowls.

Please book each session before coming, thank you.

Small groups of 5-6 can also book group sessions at their favourite time as well as Saturdays.

Below you will find a testimonial by Nancy about my recent Reiki level 2 seminar

‘After many years of being at Reiki Level 1, I was finally ready to progress to Level 2.
I could only do a course midweek and asked Sylvia if she could accommodate me.
Studying Reiki 2 with Sylvia was intense but fun and we covered a lot over 2 days. We learnt all about the symbols used in Reiki, learnt how to cleanse a room, make a Reiki ‘shower’, de-programming, and how to program a crystal using Reiki.
The distant healing practice we did was amazing and finished off the course perfectly. Sylvia encouraged me to keep a journal while doing the 21 day Reiki self-treatment so I would be aware of my progress. I feel I can call upon Sylvia anytime with any questions or queries I may have about Reiki.
I find Sylvia to be a wonderful, kind and loving person who gives of her knowledge generously and openly.
Sylvia’s Healing and Wellness Centre has a vibrant yet calming energy about it and the sound room with all it’s chimes is the perfect place for a Reiki Seminar.’
Kind regards,

This is what Mel had to say about the seminar:
After attending the wellbeing course "enabling yourself to live a happy and fulfilled life" with Sylvia last Saturday, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone. It was a cosy, truly relaxing, non-judgemental experience full of tips and lessons that everyone can use in their everyday lives, to enable yourself to see that everything you need to fulfil your life you already have, but it teaches you how. It was wonderfully great to take some time out for me and my needs away from the daily madness of rushing around to just to chill out with some really great people (and tasty food). I truly believe that everyone should experience a little bit of Sylvia and just being in her company as she is a uniquely special person.

Bernie enjoyed the day and wrote: Every once and awhile we need to take some time out to recharge our batteries and just be. We lead such busy lives that it is not always possible to do just this.
Well I gave myself that gift and attended a Wellness Workshop ‘Enable yourself to live a happy and fulfilled life’ with Sylvia Shirley and it was simply wonderful. Everything about the day was very special.
Sylvia provided amazing insights for us to ponder on and take away. There was also a wholesome lunch, lovingly prepared by Sylvia. It was truly a joyful day.
You really do need to treat yourself to one of Sylvia's workshops.

Say Good Bye to the Winter Blues!

13/11/2010

The days are getting shorter and trees are shedding their leaves in preparation for the winter months.

Just as nature is preparing itself you can do the same.

I would like to share some ideas and experiences with you that will brighten up the darker season and make it a happy one. Have a read and see what catches your attention to increase happiness in your life.

Walks in nature…
The colourful trees, the variety of little mushrooms and the beautiful rays of sunshine tempt us to go outside. Taking in what winter reveals to us is a treat for our senses and the soul. You might want go outside to pick up leaves and dry them just as we did when we were kids.

If you enjoy drawing or painting, this is one of the best seasons to catch beautiful colours and sunlight.

Another way to capture happy moments is taking photos with a camera and then framing them in a digital frame. It is nice to be reminded of the happy times in life, especially when you feel the darker days are ‘not your thing’.

Sunlight is very important for our wellbeing, therefore catch as much of it as you can whenever possible. Even a few minutes of exposure to the sun makes such a difference.

Lots of activity…
If you like to help others, maybe assisting in a charity would be interesting for you. Maybe visiting people in a nursing home and brightening both of your days with a nice chat or a game of cards.
Remember, shared moments are happy moments.

Find a treasure…
The treasure that some of our older citizens have within them is amazing. The treasure I am talking about is called’ life experience and knowledge’. A good conversation can be so interesting when people tell you their life stories. When we were kids we couldn’t wait to hear the tales and listen to our parents telling us their stories.
Did you feel the same?

Do you remember…?
A good way to begin is to remember your own stories.
Do you remember your first day in school? Your most favourite toy? Your best friend? Or your nicest Christmas present? Do you remember what was important for you when you were a child? Think about it and you will find yourself in a great story that is well worth sharing. There are so many things that you can do to keep your mind, body and spirit happy.

Where does happiness come from?
Real happiness comes from within and that is what you will experience at my Cosmetic & Wellness Atelier. When you come to me it is not just a Massage, a Facial or an Energy treatment you are getting. It is so much more, a feeling of happiness, contentment, peace and relaxation.

You as a person are most important to me!

Your wellbeing in a very holistic way is the key to my work and success. What I do best is to bring happiness into other people’s lives and I can tell you I really love doing it.

I am looking forward to having you with me very soon. For you to experience the treasures within you.

If you like to spread a lot of happiness and brighten someone’s life, you will find beautifully wrapped Gift Vouchers for any occasion and especially for Christmas.

Remember there are so many ways to say Good Bye to the Winter Blues. I have mentioned just a few of them and it is a lot of fun to explore even more.

Wishing you a very happy change of seasons.

Joyful regards,

Sylvia Shirley

NATURE IS A GREAT TEACHER

07/05/2011

Going for walks in nature is very relaxing and healing at the same time.
Yesterday I went for a walk in a nearby forest. It was a fine soft day.
The first thing I heard was the beautiful song of several birds above me in the very tall trees.
The happiness the plants and birds were radiating because of the rain, which had finally
provided enough water for everyone.
Many trees had not unfolded all of their leaves yet in order to save energy.
Water one of the most important substances on earth, all of us need it.
When people only drink a little water each day, then the body uses the water for all organs that help us to survive. (The tree trunk)
When drinking enough water, the body will share it with the rest of the body and the skin as well. (Now the leaves unfold, because there is abundance!)
Exhaustion, headaches and many wrinkles can be avoided when drinking plenty of water.
Not drinking enough is like having a hangover, dehydration.
If you drink at least 4 pints of water per day you will feel fantastic, look great and
your mind will also work a lot better. Give it a try, see and feel the difference!
