Alternative Therapy's


                                                    
                                                            Natural Therapeutic Treatments  
We live in a hectic, fast-paced time and life can often be very overwhelming. Between the pressures of society and the expectations we put on ourselves, it can feel like it is all too much. For this reason, it is important to really centre ourselves in order to regain inner peace. 

Below are a few alternative therapeutic treatments that can help improve the mind, body and soul.

Ecotherapy

Ecotherapy is a therapeutic technique to help people achieve wellness through working with nature and the outdoors.

Ecotherapy has these benefits:

·         Improves mindfulness  



·         Encourages you to be active


·         Helps you connect with nature

·         Improves mental well-being

·         Can help build confidence and social skills

I have a personal connection with Ecotherapy, (which is a new term to me, I have always called it Green Therapy.) My mother has suffered from long-term mental health problems. The one activity that got her out of the house was when she got herself involved with a gardening group. She continues to teach me about the wonders of nature.

Music therapy

This is by far one of the most helpful and enjoyable therapies. Music has the power to help us connect with ourselves and express, learn and bond with people from all walks of life, through the use of different musical mediums.



Music therapy has the ability to help with the following:

·         Cognitive function


·          Uplift spirits



·         Help improve communication abilities

·         Improve mental health

·         Improve social skills

·         Enhance self-awareness


Personally, I am working on music therapy because I am naturally an introvert and music therapy is helping me find my voice.

Art therapy  

Art therapy is a healing approach to addressing emotional issues. This is another form of therapy that helps people express themselves creatively, myself included - I personally enjoy pencil sketching. I love how people can really embrace their creative style by using materials and other art forms to communicate or relay a 
message.

Art therapy has these benefits:

·         Address emotional issues

·         Improve mental well-being

·         Help you to get in touch with your creative side

·         Improve mindfulness

·         Build confidence

These different therapeutic methods have proven to help impact a lot of people's lives. If you are looking to get into some alternative therapies, there are many programmes you can join. Alternatively, you can practice them independently.

Helpful Ways To Overcome Challenges

Working Through Difficulty 2017 has challenged me in many ways. July and August presented difficult situations which have brought forward uneasy emotions. Practicing mindfulness has been particularly difficult during this time. However, I know inner work is most crucial when you are faced with life’s obstacles. The healthiest approach to dealing with situations is by working on mindfulness and restoring inner peace.

Below are some of the things that have helped me push through. Reading Read up lifting books that improve your outlook and spirits. You could get something out of reading a comedic book that cheers you up or a fictional book that takes you to another place. How about a biography that inspires you or a self-help book to gain a different perspective. Books hold so much value and pur...

Comforting Ambience

Comforting Ambience Creating an ambience at work and at home can be a simple way to uplift you and invite peace and comfort into your personal space. Having a serene work space is important for your productivity and mental well-being.   Flowers can be a simple and effective addition to creating a calm work environment. They can add colour and aroma to your surroundings and provide an often needed element of nature. If purchasing real flowers seem too costly, you have the option of buying beautiful synthetic replicates that look and feel like fresh flowers. Personally, my favourite tip is to make sure that your work environment is kept clean and tidy. Taking pride in sustaining a presentable work space helps with maintaining mental clarity and is a visual reflection of your professional standards. Creating an ambience at home promotes relaxation, peace, and balance, which in turn gives you a space yourself and others can enjoy...

Pregnancy Loss

I would like to start off by saying that I am so sorry for anyone who has experienced a pregnancy loss. Pregnancy takes you on a journey through different stages month to month and even before seeing your baby, you start to sense and feel changes in your body as it works hard to nurture the babies development. The bond develops even more once you see the baby move and wiggle and this is why a pregnancy loss is such a unique grief. You are mourning a loss of a bond that is directly merged from within. I have experienced two losses and I understand how difficult it can all be. Here are some things that have helped me through my losses. Practice Affirmations -  This can be helpful because we all know words hold a lot of power. Speaking and thinking with kindness, can be a healing emotional tool when you are going through hard times. Connecting with nature -  Whether it is sitting with your indoor plants, spending time in your garden, visiting a park or venturing out for hikes, na...
