Help with Long Covid

Posted on by Stelyana Spassova

It is estimated that between 30,000-60,0000 people in the UK are dealing with long-term chronic illness as a result of the Coronavirus infection. Most of them originally experienced quite mild Covid-19 symptoms. Three or more months later (and no longer contagious), they are suffering from breathlessness, debilitating fatigue, anxiety and poor sleep. This is now widely recognised as the ‘Long Covid’ phenomenon.

Brackenbury practitioner Julia Oji recently treated several individuals with such symptoms, and the results are very positive. She used a combination of

Acupuncture – good for organ support and boosting energy and
Lymphatic massage – helps relieve congestion and inflammation in the chest.

“After being laid up for 8 weeks with post-Covid symptoms, I saw a dramatic improvement in my breathlessness, palpitations and fatigue following my first treatment with Julia. After three treatments I am feeling back to normal again.” Celine

Creating Space for the New

Posted on by Stelyana Spassova

You’ve set your intention to change, you have set your goals, and now you want to integrate this new change into your life. Except that humans are creatures of habit and your current life was set up years ago in a way that you liked back then. There’s routine, there’s habit, there’s probably not much room for anything new. If you want to invite something new in, you may need to invite something else to leave. It’s all about creating space in which the new can take root.

All Aboard

Imagine your life as a bus journey. You’re the driver, at the helm, and you’re driving down the road, through diverse landscapes and scenes. As you drive, you pick up passengers (which could be people, objects, thoughts, emotions, energies). Some of these will have been voluntarily picked up, others involuntarily.

If your bus is fully loaded, there’s no space for new arrivals – but also the bus is under more strain. Carrying old ‘stuff’ may become an annoyance or even a hindrance.

Tips For Creating Space

Here are some tips to help you on your way:

  1. Take stock once in a while and be objective about what you have onboard. 
  2. You may feel attached to old ‘passengers’ and experience a reluctance to let them go. Consider what would serve you better now – and make it as real and intense as possible. Then see how you feel about the old.
  3. Emotions are like signposts. Use them to guide you. How does each passenger make you feel? is this a pattern, or a one-off?
  4. If you decide to invite a passenger to step off, do so with gratitude and without judgement. Acknowledge that, even though it may not be immediately apparent, there has been a valuable experience or insight thanks to them.
  5. You can take stock more regularly, keeping a daily gratitude journal – or simply naming a few things that you’re grateful for as you lie in bed at the end of your day.
