Mirror mirror

If some of us feel as though we are floundering under he weight of "feeling too much" then lets take a broader and more optimistic view of this. Together, we are becoming more robust and I suspect the reawakening of the mirror neurone is a signal that we are descaling our furred up neurology in readiness for a bigger experience of all that it means to be human; which is a far less isolated, self-interested, muffled-up-to the ears experience than we have long tended to believe. In my view, this is the stuff of frontline evolution.

The vagus nerve: leading us back to our health

There's literally nothing to lose and everything to gain from a healthier vagus nerve. Like all the best paths, it starts out a little mysterious but that's where its adventure lies. I've certainly had cause to explore it lately as its been found to have just so many links with the most chronic, mysterious, health conditions....and here's what I found out (to my benefit, maybe yours). So, having found it and become so much more aware of it, I like to think the vagus nerve is a path worth following as, so it turns out, it may very well lead us back to ourselves in more ways than one!

I thought I knew about electrolytes but this feels like a whole new breakthrough in my understanding of fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue...and it was right under my nose all along. Get to know your electrolytes (and how to replenish them) to deeply energise your life.

Because B12?

Last year, I had cause to learn all about vitamin B12 deficiency. One of the big things I learned is that it doesn't only affect vegetarians and vegans, at all; in fact it is an extremely widespread and insidious cause of a whole range of chronic health issues...and it is very easily remedied. Here's what I found out...

When you feel like you’ve been tipped over…

~ Helen White ~ 2 Comments

This morning I simply want to share a useful article I "happened upon" because, for me, it shot such a bolt of light into my experiences of chronic fatigue that I knew it would likely be a blessed relief to others like me. Not only does this article provide a sizeable chink of light at … Continue reading When you feel like you’ve been tipped over…

Colours passing through – the fibromyalgia synesthesia link

~ Helen White ~ 5 Comments

Top of the most interesting topics to write about this week, and not for the first time, is the subject of synesthesia which is something I’ve been aware of having all my life, though I only discovered the word used to label the phenomenon when I was in my twenties. My original post, called Walking … Continue reading Colours passing through – the fibromyalgia synesthesia link
