Healing

My hypnotherapy group have been very fortunate this weekend to have Mark Barber come to speak to us about well-being and our immune system. Mark is a Naturopathic practitioner, and has a clinic in Blofield Norwich called Willow Farm Clinic.

Now I could listen to Mark forever as he is so knowledgeable and has an amazing way of delivering training. My students were thrilled to hear him speak and were so busy writing notes and listening and watching, they could not get enough of it.

Mark spoke at length about our adrenal glands and how if they are out of balance in any way we can have a variety of symptoms presenting themselves. Oh how I wish all GPs were like Mark, and I know that I would prefer to consult Mark and treat myself more naturally than taking drugs which produce horrible side effects. I must be clear and say that I would take drugs if my life was threatened in some way, but I prefer to seek more natural remedies, although Mark was also keen to point out that not all natural remedies are safe and can also have side effects. I think we were all in agreement that drug companies make billions each year from the likes of us who trust our GPs to give us drugs that will 'cure' us. I do my best not to get angry that the drugs companies forced the government to stock pile Swine flu vaccinations, and no doubt this year or towards the end will frighten us into believing we need to get vaccinated again, and give us the vaccines that are nearly at their sell by date.

Back to something far more positive though, and that is how Mark is able to get across some technical information in such a way that is easily understood. It led the way for the rest of the day to discuss how as therapists we can help our clients to deal with pain, and undiagnosed conditions. When it comes to something like IBS, we agreed with Mark that really it is not a condition but a symptom of an irritated bowel and we must look for the cause of what is making it irritated.

For me as a trainer, I would have preferred to let Mark run the whole weekend and me be a student, but as his time is so precious, we had to let him go.

Thank you Mark from us all xxxx
