On how the art of competition can really be the art of collaboration. When will people get that competition and war only create more competition and war? This week I was told by a suburban newspaper interested in publishing a story on the strategies I use with people for chronic illness, they could not because they were ‘rivals’ with another …
Why is it that we assume ‘doctor knows best’?
” All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.” Arthur Schopenhauer Over the past year or so I have attended several ‘mainstream’ health events, and what I have experienced, when speaking to medical doctors or healthcare providers who are not generally interested in ‘alternative’ therapies, is …
Why ‘managing illness’ isn’t necessarily the answer to illness
Today I attended a health meeting on chronic illness with a number of medical professionals. The one overriding phrase I noticed being repeated again and again was the approach of “managing illness” or “managing health conditions”. And what I realized as I was listening to the presenters is that there seems to be a general expectation that people are either …
Are doctors in the dark ages?
On whether we need a fresh perspective to understand… and resolve….chronic pain and illness So the question is: Are doctors in the dark ages? Well, no…. and yes.

How to survive a nervous breakdown
The truth about mental breakdowns and how they are often a breakthrough in disguise Having a so-called ‘nervous breakdown’ can carry a lot of negative stigma: losing your marbles is usually seen as detrimental (damaging to the mental) rather than positive event.

On how depression is the de-pressing of emotions
Yesterday I was reminded, again, of how depression really is a de-pressing of emotions. A couple of days ago I experienced an energetic healing session, and often what can follow is a clearing of energy, often called a ‘healing response’. When this healing response kicks in, it usually manifests as symptoms or emotions of the original trauma or situation which …

In an era where surgery, medication and supplements are seen as the common solution, how is this possible? “It’s all a matter of …
When you’re ‘afraid of hurting someone’s feelings’, whose feelings are you really afraid of hurting?
I was reminded today on two occasions of how it’s always our own feelings that we are trying to protect when we are trying not to offend others. A client was describing how they were feeling guilty over not inviting a friend to a group dinner. If we were to look deeper and ask what was going on at a …
Identifying and transforming our unconscious beliefs around Love
“The behaviour of “looking for love” only occurs when we are driven by an unconscious definition of love. Once this charge is integrated, we allow love to come to us as required” (Michael Brown – the Presence Process) Do you know what you really believe about love deep inside? Do you realize that your unconscious beliefs around love drive what you …
Letting go of wanting to be well to get well
What if getting well required you to give up wanting to get well? By Kim Knight www.artofhealth.co.nz In my experience, one of the biggest blocks to getting well is trying to get better without learning the lesson the illness or health condition is trying to teach us.
