The Silva Method for Migraines
Some time ago, I wrote about the power of alpha-theta-waves for healing. Our brains are constantly producing brain-waves, and the ‘optimum’ state for deep relaxation is apparently when we are in an alpha-theta state. Alpha-theta waves First up, a quick recount if you missed the earlier post: Theta waves appear…

“The Vagus Nerve Reset”
For a long time now, I’ve been saying that the biggest step forward in my healing journey was learning how to calm down my over-stressed (potentially broken) nervous system.

Rewilding your gut flora
I’m definitely no trend-setter, and most of the time I’m not even a trend-follower. I’ve always tended to be my own person, even if it means I’m a bit of a misfit that ends up as a societal wallflower… so be it… that’s where you meet other interesting wallflowers, hanging…

“Yoshuku – the Japanese art of manifesting”
I’m still heavily invested in my “let’s manifest a nicer world” tangent, as part of my New Year’s Revelation for 2026 (there’s personal progress updates (and pictures) at the end of this post). As such, I was interested to discover a Japanese perspective on manifesting. Straight away, I felt a…

Alpha-theta waves for healing
In our brains, there is a lot going on. I’m no neurologist, so I can’t even begin to fathom it all, let alone try to explain any of it to you… that said… there is something that has been floating around in my mind to write about for some time…
