Why REAL Christmas trees are best - Ajit Patel UK

An estimated eight million real Christmas trees are purchased every year in the UK, compared with two million that are fake. They may be four times as popular, but studies also show a real tree is five times more environmentally friendly than one that's artificial. Why? Because these lovely pines, firs and spruces have a significant impact on air quality. An acre of Christmas trees produces enough daily oxygen for sixteen people, while a hectare absorbs six tonnes of carbon dioxide per year. They can also be mulched and recycled. Real Christmas trees have a fresh, uplifting scent thanks to their resins and essential oils that clear the sinuses and focus the mind. Just stopping to enjoy a decorated Christmas tree is enough to relieve stress and anxiety levels, which are often high at this time of year. And if you buy a container-grown tree, or root-balled tree, you can keep it in your garden to enjoy throughout the year. Make sure you water and feed your live tree regularly during the year, and chances are you can use it again next year, either decorating it in the garden, or repotting into a larger container to bring back indoors. If you buy a tree with bare roots, soak them well before potting the tree in moist earth. The roots allow the tree to 'drink' and hold onto its needles if you continue watering it regularly. There is even a chance it will survive if planted out after Christmas, though it's best to select a root-balled or container-grown tree if you want to plant it. If you opt for a cut tree, select one whose needles look fresh rather than dull or dried, and give it a gentle shake to ensure the needles aren't ready to drop. When you get it home, keep it outside in a cool, shady place, standing in water. Then, when you are ready to bring it in for decoration, the British Christmas Tree Growers Association suggest you cut half an inch off the bottom of the trunk, to open up the pores of the tree. Then mount it in a water-holding stand, or wedge it in a bucket (with pebbles or small stones) that you can top up with water, every day, to keep it fresh for as long as possible.

‘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
