    Small Pledges Spark Global Hope


    by Timothy Dickens



    A UK-wide campaign to get people to cut carbon emissions has ‘ignited public support’ and now looks to engage the rest of the developed world, under the helm of a new director.

    The 10:10 mission is based on a simple proposal; that each person, organisation or business who signs up online, commits to cut their carbon emissions by 10 per cent before the end of 2010.

    “This is an incredibly exciting force that has ignited public support,” Eugenie Harvey told Positive News, in her first exclusive interview as the new 10:10 director. Author of the best-selling book, Change the World for a Fiver, Eugenie added: “This is the first climate change campaign with real potential to capture...

A Little Inspiration...
It's official! Reading RTBH slows the aging process! Well, not quite. But nearly. An article carried by the BBC today (and linked from the post title above) outlines research that appears to demonstrate that thinking positively, and specifically thinking and acting as you did in the past, can overcome some signs of aging. Harvard professor Ellen Langer's groundbreaking research was actually conducted in 1979, but was only partially reported, until now. Her experiments entailed building a 1950...

Perspective is everything. It’s so easy to get spun out on our own endless, constant thoughts. Today, come up with some creative ways to be present, quickly and simply.A friend of mine swears by this:“When I feel like I’m stuck in my own head, I just look up at the sky for a minute. Well, more than look at it - I take it in. I realize the space, the openness. Sometimes just a few seconds is enough to derail the buzz going on in my head.”

Structural Integration (Rolfing) Practitioner Vicky Wright



cert. Rolf Practitioner.

"Structural Integration (SI) works to create alignment within the body's structure. Many different patterns of chronic pain including symptoms such as back pain, sciatica, joint pain and stiffness can be the direct result of a misalignment within the structure.

These misalignments can form gradually over time, for example from poor posture in the workplace, or be the immediate consequence of a specific event such as an accident, injury or surgery.

SI works to release constrictions within the connective tissue which can hold these structural misalignments in place. This release can also specifically benefit connective tissue disorders such as whiplash, frozen shoulder and loss of joint mobility."
