"today I am pain free"

If like me you can wake each day with pain, then you know how debilitating that can be. Not only physically but to your mind and emotions.

Pain niggles, it ages you, pain can be intrusive on your life, it can reduce the quality of your life. Some days it goes away and some days it doesn’t! and that is a bummer heck even the weather can affect it.

That said we can control how pain will affect us, over the last year I have developed a little mantra and I tell myself every day on waking ‘that I am pain free’ I repeat this about 50 times – have my physical symptoms gone, no, but my awareness is much less.

The power of the subconscious mind is such that when you repeat a ‘positive statement for a desired outcome or intention’ your subconscious mind will set to work on your behalf to make your desired outcome, come through – I will not be pain free but my awareness of it is much less and it does not intrude as much on my day.

So, if you do suffer a little why not give it a try and for 30days every day repeat with passion, while visualizing a happy healthy you the wonderful affirmation below from Louise Hay – what have you got to lose.

All I can tell you it works for me

Have a wonderful Wednesday

Reason's to go GAGA for the Reformer

Reason's to go GAGA for the Reformer Here's a great quiz question what does Lady Gaga and the London Irish rugby team have in common ? would you believe it they both practice Pilates on the Reformer!!! Lady Gaga on the Reformer - article in the DailyMail Pilates is called the Pilates System because it is designed around 7 pieces of equipment – one of which is the Pilates Reformer – sometimes described as a Reformer bed, perhaps eluding to it’s origins as a 3ft single bed in an internment camp on the Isle of Man, where Joseph Pilates spent much of the 1 st WW and insisted that all the inmates perform daily movements utilizing their bed springs! In my opinion the Reformer stands out on its own from the other pieces for its versatility While BODYFIRM [est 1998] have always had a fully equip studio [reformer, trap table, barrels etc] most people are more familiar with Mat Pilates, however in the last few years more studios have opened in Dubl...

Tabata - High Intensity Interval Training

Also check out our Client Jan Newsletter We have been using the Tabata system of training in our studio for several years now both in our Met-X-Fitness and in our more Blitz / Boot Camp orientated Pilates Mat and Reformer Class’s and because I know all about the excellent benefits and results of this style of training I rather stupidly assumed everyone else did too. I realized last week that this was not the case when on two separate occasions I was asked by a client and a trainer I was chatting with - the same two questions what exactly is Tabata? And how does it work? So here it is – Tabata, a high intensity, short duration effective exercise system Tabata – What is it? Tabata (developed by it’s name sake Japanese Professor Izumi Tabata) is a high intensity interval training system (HIIT) that since its inception has provided remarkable results - he originally developed this system for the Japanese speed skating team in 1996 Tabata – How does it wor...
