Be Successful and Happy Seminar
Success and happiness don't always go hand in hand; in today's multi-media age success often comes at the expense of happiness. Many of the world's most successful businessmen are unhappy.Richard Farleigh, Robert Holden, Richard Bandler and Piers Morgan
They reach the top and suddenly disillusionment sets in; stressed, overworked and depressed, those who believed happiness was a destination they could enjoy once they reached the finishing line, find they've sacrificed happiness in the pursuit of it.
It's a familiar feeling for millions, but the good news is that there's a way to learn to be happy now, right now, not in the tomorrow that never comes.
Learn from the experts: NLP co-founder Richard Bandler, author Robert Holden, The Happiness Doctor, Piers Morgan and Richard Farleigh, at the one-day Be Successful And Happy seminar at Westminster's Central Hall on October 15.
NLP co-founder Richard Bandler and best-selling author and Psychologist Robert Holden share their expertise and give you tried and tested tools to take you beyond theory and into practice. NLP (neuro linguistic programming) is a highly effective system that seeks to change patterns of emotional and mental behaviour, showing how to educate yourself in effective communication and self-awareness and recognize behaviours you need to adapt.
Happiness Doctor Robert Holden is the author of fourteen best-selling self help guides on success and happiness, and founder of The Happiness Project for which he developed an eight-week course.

Tickets start at £125; the seminar can be viewed live on-line for £30. To reserve your place call Tel: 0845 230 2022; www.theukco.com.
Magical Rainbows Children's CD
Magical Rainbows is a beautiful collection of children's relaxations written by Relaxation Therapist Lorraine Phillips. Children will enjoy listening to guided journeys to play and swim with a dolphin, ride on the back of a unicorn, discover hidden treasure on a pirate ship, play with mermaids, discover new worlds in a spaceship, and enter a magical forest, amongst other wonderful adventures.There is something magical about being transported to an imaginary world, where anything is possible. These journeys give children the chance to take part in an adventure they could not otherwise enjoy. They can be a delightful alternative to the traditional bed time story. Children who are 'too old' for bedtime stories will enjoy listening to this CD before putting out the lights. Even adults are not too old to join in the magic!
Lorraine Phillips works as a Relaxation Therapist in a variety of schools and has seen the benefits of guided visualization, both with children and adults. Children can feel more relaxed, happy and positive. Their confidence and self esteem may also be improved. The relaxations can lead to a peaceful night's sleep, which is good for the parents! In the school setting, they can help children become more calm and relaxed, which is good for teachers!

Chakra Balancing Creams
Sarah Williams of Organic-Aromatherapy Ltd has studied the interplay between our Chakras and our health for over 15 years is. Sarah suggests that we should listen to our body's 'whispers', or niggling aches and pains, before it has to 'shout' at us or even stop us in our tracks with severe pain and disease. Over the years Sarah has developed a range of Soul Harmony(tm) Chakra Balancing Creams that work by using essential oils that have balancing properties to the respective Chakras. By rubbing a little of the creams anywhere into your body, the oils are absorbed into the Chakra via the bloodstream, harmonising the imbalance which prevents as well as relieves problems.Sarah initially trained in body massage and aromatherapy but has continued her training by working with various teachers and body-workers around the world. She is also a qualified teacher.
The creams are available from the Organic-Aromatherapy Ltd website, www.organic-aromatherapy.co.uk, where further information is available on the problems and diseases that can be helped, as well as workshops that Sarah holds to teach people about the seven Chakras and how to harmonize them.

Experiencing Inner Power and Protection
How can you develop inner power and how can this give you the sense of protection you need in a world that is full of challenges? It was a topic that was addressed at a special event hosted by the Brahma Kumaris at their Global Co-operation House premises in northwest London.
The event focused on a discussion between Sir Gulam Noon, prominent British businessman and Sister Jayanti, Director of the Brahma Kumaris in Europe. It was chaired by Emily Buchanan, world affairs correspondent and presenter for the BBC.
Emily asked Sister Jayanti to explain the purpose behind the Brahma Kumaris Inner Power and Protection project.
Sister Jayanti said: "People have lost the inner sense of security and comfort and faith in knowing there is a protection coming from above. So our contribution is to make people aware that there is an inner resource and strength that they can draw upon in life."
Turning to Sir Gulam Noon Emily asked him to share his experiences of being one of the hotel guests caught up in the terrorist attacks in Mumbai last year [2008]. He said that there were three separate occasions when he could have been shot, but in his heart, he knew he would survive: "I just kept the thought that I must do my level best to survive. When you are a spiritual person there is clarity."

The information comes soon after Feel Better Ltd launched the product range in the UK and Ireland which helps relieve painful skin, nails and other debilitating cutaneous side-effects of anti-cancer treatment.
Although British trials are in their early stages, the products have been used in France since 2006 by a number of oncologists, nurses, clinics, hospitals and patients. The range has also been launched in 16 other countries around the world.
In the UK the brand is already beginning to stock clinics, such as the Harley St Cancer Clinic, and is providing samples for cancer patient makeovers organised by charities such as Look Good Feel Better and Caroline's Campaign.

Beautiful Babies, Fabulous Families, Wonderful World
by Belinda BarnesPublished by Foresight Association for the Promotion of Preconceptual Care. 2009. £12.99. ISBN: 0954593367.
This is a wonderful book for those who wish to have healthy pregnancies and healthy children. For the past 30 years 'Nim' Barnes has been running Foresight, the organisation she founded to help parents. In a practical, chatty, accessible style this book conveys her enthusiasm, passion and experience. While soundly based on nutrition, the book explores other areas like hidden infection and electromagnetic pollution. It is 'Nim's' fervent wish and one I share, that all adults have this knowledge and know how to check their nutritional status and correct it before conception.
Originally founded in 1978, Foresight's programme is based on the premise that most unfavourable outcomes of pregnancy can be avoided if both parents make proper preparation, ideally beginning at least six months prior to a planned conception. Today's world of increasing environmental chemical pollution and commercial food processing, subtle chemical toxicities and nutritional deficiencies places many pregnancies at a disadvantage from their onsets.
