How Much Sleep Do We Really Need? - Ajit Patel UK

It is often noted that the best amount of sleep is between six to seven hours a night, but for some, that can be either too little – or for fewer, too much.
Burning the midnight oil may be a sign of unnatural strength, but insomnia is no trivial matter; for the political titan, the late Margaret Thatcher, it was something of an characteristic.
Considered a mark of endurance, the late-to-bed-early-to-wake routine may be something of a superhuman power, but how good is it in the long-run?
In a high-profile, heavily-demanding job, the pressures of a businesslike lifestyle is not one that should be taken lightly. Whilst something of a trophy, surviving on four hours of sleep is not the sign of a healthy body or a sound mind; although, in some cases, there is competition to see which person has the least amount of sleep.
The hours are long, the time is short and having free time is something of a luxury.
It is suggested that the type of job that you have will adjust your need for sleep accordingly. According to the BBC, Prof James Horne, at Loughborough’s sleep research centre, says that mood is important. If you are working in a militaristic or another high-adrenaline job, then you need less sleep. “It all depends if one gets a buzz out of what one’s doing. If you’re despondent, you tend to sleep more; if you’re excited you need less. Margaret Thatcher was someone who felt on top of things.”
The suggestion that our jobs make us who we are can attribute to our methods and behaviours within that environment.
Some however, disagree.
It is suggested by fellow MPs that a lack of proper sleep may take its toll, leading to poor decisions. It is recalled that whilst Thatcher’s posture was that of a woman on top of things, her eyes portrayed an individual who was exhausted.
Perhaps enthusiasm isn’t everything.
On the other end of the scale, sleep deprivation or insomnia is suggested to lend its hand towards the creative mind, adding to the love seat of a libertarian or hedonist lifestyle.
That is, of course, unless you pass out in the midst of enjoying yourself.
Loved or hated, the Iron Lady was a woman whose insomnia was legendary, able to balance out political power between her short-lived nights.

‘Hands on’ Healing Helps you let go of the Past -Ajit Patel UK

‘Hands on’ energy healing is the ancient practice of transferring life force energy from the therapist to the client. The healer places their hands directly on the body rather than a few inches away. Life force energy is a natural source of life giving and healing energy abundant in the universe. A ‘hands on’ healer is intuitively trained to be aware of this energy and guide it to you to help you heal. The healer may be aware of negative energy or emotions you may be holding from a past experience. This awareness helps the healer to locate where to focus the healing to move out negative energy and replace it with clear nourishing life force. Past experiences can sometimes be difficult to remove. However, help is at hand, if you will excuse the pun! Many describe a feeling of lightness and joy during a healing session, as they sense their past experiences being transformed. You may even experience a past incident again, but with a new positive slant, where the negative result is rep

Can three minutes of exercise a week help make you fit? - Ajit Patel UK

Quoted by  BBC News : "A few relatively short bursts of intense exercise, amounting to only a few minutes a week, can deliver many of the health and fitness benefits of hours of conventional exercise, according to new research, says Dr Michael Mosley. But how much benefit you get from either may well depend on your genes. When I first read studies which suggested that I could make significant and measurable changes to my fitness by doing just three minutes of exercise a week, I was incredulous. But this apparently outrageous claim is supported by many years of research done in a number of different countries including the UK, so I decided to give it a go. My guide into the world of High Intensity Training (HIT), was Jamie Timmons, professor of ageing biology at Birmingham University. Jamie assured me that by doing just three minutes of HIT a week for four weeks, I could expect to see significant changes in a number of important health indices. The first, and the one I

What are the 7 Chakras and how do they affect your health? - Ajit Patel Goldshield

Eastern philosophy, particularly Yoga and Buddhism, incorporate Chakras into their understanding of the human body. The word Chakra means “wheel” and represents life force energy centres where energy flows through and leaves the body. The Chakras help make up our astral bodies which are like our own magnetic field that affects our physical body and surrounds us in a field of protective energy. There are 7 Chakras in the human body; each one is associated with specific organs and glands that they affect depending on the quality and health of our energetic field in that area and as a whole. Each Chakra is also associated with a colour and runs along your spinal column. The following is a brief description of each Chakra and how each affects your body, mind and spirit: Root Chakra  – situated at the base of your spine, specifically in the area known as the perineum; the root Chakra’s essence is material manifestation, grounding and connection to the earth. Colour: red. Sacral Plexus
