In patients with chronic pain, this meta-analysis suggests significant and robust effects of CST on pain and function lasting up to six months.
Ten RCTs of 681 patients with neck and back pain, migraine, headache, fibromyalgia, epicondylitis, and pelvic girdle pain were included. CST showed greater post intervention effects on pain intensity.
Secondary outcomes were all significantly more improved in CST patients than in other groups, except for six-month mental quality of life versus sham. Sensitivity analyses revealed robust effects of CST against most risk of bias domains.

An old video with photos of the exhibition 'Earth' I held in 2024.
Most of the images sold, but they can be ordered with the same mount and professional finish.
Cost for each is £60.
Let me know if you would like to own one.
Wishing you a lovely Saturday.

Welcome to a walk through some of the photographs. Four only arrive...

The Unexpected Path and the choice.

Today I took Vannie to a garage early, wrong side of town,first time. Checking a minor fault ahead of 4 retreats for the autumn is important. Google maps says - one hour 2 or 3 busses back. Walking :1:15 minutes. So I chose walking of course, and a different route. :) Of course.
I have lived here long enough to hope for pathways and cycle routes. I soon found a very very beautiful one I am intending to go back to and explore more.
Stumbled on eldrrberry trees,ready berries to be gathered in a handy unused dog poobag. Alexanders seeds,hogweed seeds, nettle seeds, yarrow, thistles...a feast of colours,layers,vibrancy, delicacy...some just wanted to be touched,some spoken to, some admired,some gathered. Gladly left the garage area and the wheezing triggering pollution for better paths...got home more like 2 hours later instead of 1.15. My better head ready to continue work on the new website...ready soon.

Learning to shift out of stressful emotional reactions to these heartfelt emotions can have profound positive effects on our cardiovascular systems and overall well-being.
Experience feelings like frustration, anxiety and insecurity, our heart-rhythm patterns become more erratic. These erratic patterns are sent to the emotional centers in the brain, which recognizes them as negative, or stressful feelings.
Conversely, HeartMath’s research shows, when we experience heartfelt emotions such as appreciation, love, care and compassion, the heart produces a very different rhythm – one that has a smooth pattern and looks something like gently rolling hills.

I started reading it this morning,before seeing my clients . I watched how it waited for me on my desk for the past few weeks, until today.

A beautiful offering by Lesley Downie, available through
