Dear
Reader 
Hypnosis
for Birth and Beyond
I
am recently back from Melbourne and can now offer hypnosis for the
birthing journey to assist birthing mothers to have a drug-free and pain-free
birth. (Sometimes special circumstances dictate that medical
intervention occurs, and you will be able to cope better in those
situations too.) 
Seems hard to believe doesn't it, that you can have a
drug-free and pain-free birth, and yes it is true. I used relaxation
techniques and breathing during childbirth (too many years ago) and then
went on to become a Childbirth Education Instructor, some 27 years ago.
It
will take you considerable commitment and
practice sessions at home and the rewards are
tremendous for the whole family. You learn to activate your body's
own natural drugs for pain relief, enjoy hypnosis for relaxation and
pain relief, and
other breathing exercises, as well as many other interesting
aspects. Call me if this is of interest and we can have a chat.
SleepTalk
for Children Programme
by
Joane Goulding
Fortunately,
God was shining on me, and the SleepTalk for
Children Programme (c) Joane Goulding, was held the same weekend in
Melbourne. I am
required to have 5 case-studies done with 5 parents of children prior to
December 6, when I go back to Melbourne for Part 2, so if you have a
child who has had some challenges and you would like to learn an easy
but consistent and regular addition to incorporate into your son or
daughter's bedtime routine, then please call me to participate, ASAP. Also,
feel free to forward this email on to friends or family who have a child
who is having problems, and get them to call me on 07 3040 2322. Other
Interesting Tidbits
Please
accept my apologies in advance for my grunting, groaning and old lady
noises if you see me in the next six weeks. I have commenced a
body transformation programme which has me training with a group three
times a week, and once a week with a personal trainer. Having done
one session yesterday and now finding it extremely challenging to walk
up or down stairs, I'm just glad I didn't do any hand exercises or this
newsletter wouldn't be happening!! Funny how some people find it
highly amusing... Ah well, at least by Christmas I'll be slim,
taut and terrifically energetic! And then, I want to maintain it. All
empathetic comments shall be gratefully received, along with offers of
massage, and bathtubs for long soaks to ease these aching muscles.
Yep, you guessed it, no bathtub at my place. What
else? I'm supposed to be coffee free and alcohol free for 5 days
out of 7 for both.... I do enjoy my one glass of wine a few times
a week and my one cup of coffee a day... but, needs must. I'll
just finish this cup I made and I especially bought trim milk for it too. Massage
Offer...
Speaking
of massages, my wonderful hairdresser Base 1 in Adelaide St in the city,
has a special offer of 1.5 hrs massage for the tiny sum of $78!!
This means that you are getting a half hour freeeeee, complimentary, no
charge!!
There is a catch... a small one... you have to book in
for the week of Monday 9th to Friday 13th November as this offer is only
good for one week. Tell them that you heard about it from
Narelle. Call
now, as this fabulous offer will disappear quickly!! Ph: 07

Review
If
you only bought one book this year, it would have to be "The Brain
That Changes Itself" by Dr Norman Doidge. It is an absolutely
fascinating and riveting read on what is called neoplasticity of the
brain. It
describes the brain's ability to remap, to rewire, to fill in, to
capture resources and direct them elsewhere, in the most incredible
ways. It is soooo inspirational and it is an easy read because the
author describes case histories and research areas in easy to understand
language. There
is the story of the 64 year old man who had a severe stroke, who 4 years
later was teaching again, got remarried at 70 and died of a heart attack
after climbing a mountain, at age 72. When he was autopsied, the
stroke had damaged 97% of his nerves and he should never have recovered,
according to conventional wisdom. There's
the woman who was considered intellectually disabled who healed her
brain with brain exercises and later taught those with intellectual
disabilities and they began to do well in school. And so many
other fascinating stories. It is an inspiration and a motivation
to rethink your own intelligence and that of others.
