Catharsis

Many amateur blogs (and bloggers) tend to go through a ‘rebirthing’ of sorts. A period of gestational inactivity culminates in a burst back onto the blogosphere, with apologies for absence, justification as to why, and promises of voluminous posts henceforth. I am no different, I’m quite happy to say. So take this as my re-birthday, if you will. I’m popping out for a pint later to celebrate, perhaps cake too.

DYO – deliver your own…

Panadol were taken, and mum hopped in the bath to relax and ease the pain.
Shortly after hopping in the bath however, bubs decided he wanted out. The ambulance was called, but didn’t come quick enough… Dad, who reportedly looked a little green around the gills, had to stand in as Doc, and delivered the little guy on his own, on the bathroom floor.

Waking Life

I was going to continue and complete ‘Watch Yourself (Part I)’ but I can’t quite get my thoughts off some irritating crap I’m going through at the moment. Insomnia has paid a visit and is overstaying its welcome. The word itself sits a touch uncomfortably with me. Insomnia. Insomniac. There’s a slightly deranged sound to it when you say it out loud (or repeat it over and over in your head).

It may seem like witchcraft but it works…

So trusting the wise, professional judgement of my peer, I decided to try it, and was blown away by the results. Cranial osteopathy to me feels like witchcraft. To say that the manipulation they use is gentle is an over-statement. The movements they make are so subtle that at times, it feels like they aren’t doing anything aside from gently prodding you in the tailbone. But that gentle prodding is amazingly effective, as on emerging from the clinic you can feel how those knots of tension have evaporated, and that your body’s alignment has been restored. It is a very gentle technique but incredibly powerful in its results.
