The Listening Centre London

 

The Listening (Voice, Music and Language) Centre, London, established by Ella Williams in 2001, is now in its 11th year of operation.

 

This client learns to sing with the full frequency of his voice.

 

Situated in North London, The Listening Centre offers Listening Therapy as based on the published works of Professor Alfred A Tomatis, who as long ago as 1957 was honoured by the French Academy of Science with the acknowledgement of the ‘Tomatis Effect’, which reduced to a nutshell is – you can only produce sounds that you are able to hear.  This means that any change in our listening patterns leads to an immediate change in our speech, musical production and related communication skills.

The change in listening pattern is brought about by a course of therapy using the electronic ear, a patented device which filters selected frequencies of sounds. This gives exercise to the muscles within the middle ear that may have lost their responsiveness to certain sounds and patterns. Returning these muscles to peak condition the ear becomes more receptive and following this our production of sound alters as well. The course is intensive and the results can be life-changing.

Unlike vocal coaching and other formal teaching the therapy is not geared towards learning a technique or method, but works gently and without rote learning of any sort. During the sessions clients listen to the music of Mozart and Gregorian chant. Later on clients will chant, sing and speak with their own voice filtered back to them through the electronic ear, and so come to naturally project the fuller sounds that they now perceiving.

Listening therapy has been found to help with learning difficulties that are based in auditory processing and communication – especially dyslexia, dyspraxia, delayed speech, autism and ADHD. Gerard Depardieu has given testimony to Professor Tomatis in helping him overcome stammering and challenging behaviour as a teenager; and as an adult with attention and memory improvement – indeed he credits Tomatis with giving him language.

Women’s Wisdom: Natural Wellness Strategies for the Menopause Years

by Laurel Alexander

Published by Findhorn Press. March 2012. £7.99. ISBN: 978-1-84409-566-7.

Shifts in the mind, body, and spiritual energy can be as much of an opportunity as a challenge; this self-help guide offers sage advice to menopausal women. Erasing the stigma that is often attached to this transitional period, experiences of the Dark Goddess are explored and embraced.

 

 

Alexander highlights an exhaustive list of helpful strategies, including nutrition and herbs, meditations and imagery, flower essences, vibrational healing through quartz crystals, reflexology, and more. Celebrating a reconnection with natural life cycles, thought-provoking suggestions are explored for envisioning this profound change as a rite of passage, and not something to fear.

Alexander guides the reader through the three stages of the menopause: peri-menopause, menopause and post menopause, with clear advice and Wise Women Ways.

“Anxiety, depression, sadness, difficulty concentrating, overreacting to minor upsets, anger, irritability, panic attacks, forgetfulness, and mood swings are all typical of the psychological issues we may face during the menopause years. Some symptoms will be hormone-related, while others are due to the changes in a woman’s life around that time.

“Situations and life events that tend to crowd into a woman’s life in her late 40s and 50s include having to deal with caring for and/or the death of elderly parents, birth of grandchildren, children leaving home, divorce, retirement of self or partner, widowhood, and altered self-image due to aging. Other psychological challenges can include beliefs about no longer being useful, distorted body image, fear of death, feeling unemployable, low self-worth, and a sense of loss related to the end of fertility.”

Honegar Original Apple Cider Vinegar and Honey

 

Honegar Original blends the finest apple cider vinegar with pure honey to create a delectably drinkable tonic reputed to have many health boosting benefits, including the relief of joint related pains and symptoms of arthritis and rheumatism, as well as assisting with digestion, promoting weight loss and maintaining the body’s natural balance.

 

 

Based on a traditional folk recipe passed from generation to generation, the unique honey-based formulation was discovered by the late Dr DeForest Clinton Jarvis, an American physician best known for his work in the area of folk medicine, who became convinced of the remedy’s health benefits while working among farming communities in Vermont, USA.

His observations led to the preparation of the original Honegar recipe, following which Dr Jarvis devoted his work to investigating the uses for Honegar, and researching its benefits for promoting good health and wellbeing. More than 50 years on, Honegar has an international following, with devotees including Sir Ranulph Fiennes, who swears by the preparation to keep arthritis at bay.

Renowned for its natural antiseptic, soothing and cleansing properties, and packed with amino acids, trace elements, calcium, potassium and iron, honey has long been popular as a high energy health food.  Cider vinegar has been valued for its medicinal properties since 3000BC, when the Egyptians reputedly used it to treat a variety of health ailments, and as a tonic to aid weight loss.

Make Your Own Aphrodisiacs

by Julie Bruton Seal & Matthew Seal

Published by Merlin Unwin Books. 2012. Hardback. £7.99. ISBN: 978 1 906122 33 1.

 

 

Aphrodisiacs take their name from Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love. They have been used to stimulate desire for millennia, concocted from spices, herbs, fruit and flowers by poets, lovers, Queens and warriors from every corner of the globe.

Authors Julie and Matthew Bruton-Seal, experienced professional herbalists, have written self-help bestsellers Kitchen Medicine and Hedgerow Medicine – now they turn their thoughts to romance.

Here are their beautifully-photographed recipes for        

• Erotic food
• Sensual oils and potions
• Seductive scents and
• Desirous drinks

The book covers plant medicine in great detail and includes herbs from all over the world.  It is fascinating to read about local favourite remedies in different cultures and also how traditional dessert recipes for romantic dinners are based on their aphrodisiac qualities.  It seems we’ve been onto something for a long time with the wide popularity of chocolate, almonds, figs, and vanilla.  Savoury recipes are not excluded either and there are lots of good ideas on how to include chilli, cardamom, nutmeg and oats in both food and drink.

Aromatherapists are well aware of the complex, sensual and powerful effects of the absolute oils of rose, jasmine and neroli and these are looked at in some detail with lovely ideas for recipes and massage blends.
