Is the thought of making a ‘New Year’ resolution quite frankly depressing? Knowing that you have been there many times before, starting out optimistic that this  year is going to be different and one month later your optimism is jaded and the thoughts of failure are on the horizon again. Oh the pressure!

What if there was something that could assist you in making those changes with ease no matter how tough you see it? Either the Deep Mind Body Relax or Vibrational Facelift are the treatments you could be looking for. Both are light touch techniques consisting of hand placements around the head/neck and face, usually received fully clothed and lying down. They take you into a deep relaxed state similar to that achieved by meditation. Using the mind body connection to bring about change; both treatments bring about emotional as well as physical changes.

How do the treatments work?

View the brain as the hard drive on a computer, using outdated software that is still running round and round in the system creating repeated patterns of thought and behaviour. The deep relaxed state allows the brain to delete these loops and create room for the new updated software to run. It creates more brain/thought space, therefore clarity and ease of thought, as well as flow in the body.

[quote align=’left’]“I love running these two processes on people. It’s an honour to witness the changes brought about. Recently a client mentioned that she hadn’t carried out a self abusive habit for almost a week (previously and for many months before it was several times a day and rising). The joy of it was she had just lost the desire to do it.”– Ann Rambaut[/quote]

Imagine if this process could assist you in bringing about the changes you desire for 2014 and beyond. Imagine feeling more confident, happier, motivated, have greater clarity of thought. Imagine having fewer aches and pains, looking more youthful with sparkly eyes and smoother skin. Imagine handling the pressures of life with more ease. Most of all imagine not feeling so at odds with your mind or your body – they can be your greatest asset. Your mind and your body are the only ones you have got – why not make friends with them?

Ann Rambaut is a chartered and registered physiotherapist based in Eastbourne. She offers sessions at The Waterside Hotel, Eastbourne, also at the Charterhouse Clinic, Marylebone, London.

For an initial taster at The Waterside in Eastbourne Ann is charging £45 (usually a one hour appointment) For more information including costs please call Ann on 07436 810181 or visit www.annrambaut.com

What Ann’s clients have to say

“I just wanted to say how marvellous the recent light touch technique you used on me was. I had been feeling very stressed with house moving etc and after you worked your magic on me I felt completely relaxed. Added to that, I wanted to calm myself before I had a wisdom tooth removed a few days later. It definitely did the trick as I couldn’t believe how relaxed I felt during the very unpleasant procedure, not at all nervous! I will definitely have more treatments after my house move, as it is something we all need to get us through difficult times. Also, I liked the fact it was completely non invasive.” – Angela R. Dec 2013

[quote align=’right’]“I don’t understand how this treatment works – but it does! I have a demanding job that has brought particular stresses in the past few weeks. Yet I have felt on top of things, and I’m sure I have made better decisions thanks to the sense of deep calm that Ann’s treatment imparts. It’s astonishing to me that a treatment which works almost instantaneously can also have such long-lasting effects.” –  Lorraine G Dec 2013[/quote]

“I had been trying to deal with Post Natal Depression for around 10 months by going to the Doctor, getting put on the waiting list for counselling and taking Prozac. I got to the stage where it was not working any more and I was feeling suicidal. I had constant stuff in my head saying I’m not good enough, I’m not worth anything, and I did not want to talk. I was having panic dreams and my back and shoulders were aching all the time. It was difficult to relax and just be with my children, family and friends without thinking about everything else that ‘needed’ doing and feeling overwhelmed. I called Ann to get some help and she suggested a course of Deep Relax Body and Mind. It really has been a lifesaver – giving me the space I need just to be me and reconnect with myself. I don’t feel suicidal any more as I know I have somewhere to escape to. Ann has helped me immensely; I feel safe with her and am able to relax completely. During the week in-between treatments I find I am using the techniques to calm myself and I am now able to ask for a little time out to centre myself. I have a space where I know everything is ok and am being positive about so much of my life for so much more of the time.” – Vicky from Eastbourne, 16th December 2013 (Testimony for Ann Rambaut – Deep Relax)

“Realize deeply that the present moment is all you have. Make the NOW the primary focus of your life.” – Eckhart Tolle 

Personal development and spiritual gurus agree, living in the present is the aim: To be fully engaged in the now without our minds wandering into the past or future. Putting our focus anywhere else would mean missing out on what’s happening now and therefore not experiencing life fully.

When we first become aware of our mind chatter, perhaps because we’ve started meditating, it can be staggering how many times we need to bring our minds back to the present. We’ve all had the experience of driving on automatic pilot so when we arrive at our destination we can’t remember a thing about the journey. Perhaps you’ve also experienced an inability to focus on the work in hand or having an accident when your mind has been elsewhere? Generally these situations occur because the thoughts we have about the past or future stir up feelings that distract us from the now. Developing our repertoire of skills and techniques for effectively handling these feelings is critical if we are to live in the present.

Though if we’re focused on the present, what about our dreams and plans? How do we square the spiritual practice of being happy now with our desire for things to be better in the future? Dreaming is an essential part of being human, using our imagination is part of the creative process and when we have nothing to aspire to we deny part of ourselves. When those dreams are fuelled by love, things we’d love to do, be and have, they enhance our present experience and propel us positively into the future. They can be translated into action and they act as magnets drawing what we want to us.

Dreams become dangerous when fear creeps in, fear that our situation will never change and our needs won’t be met, fear of the unknown future, or fear we aren’t good enough to lead happy and successful lives. Then dreams can become our escape from the present, our excuse for not enjoying life now (it’ll be better when…) or the chance for our perfectionist selves to measure everything against some unreal idea of perfection.

So when you’re considering your plans for 2014, ensure they are sourced by love and build them on an acceptance of your present situation. Dream big and bold and allow yourself to feel inspired and motivated, take action towards your dreams, address any fears they stir up, and, most importantly, enjoy each moment on the way.
