APINNA CREATES INSTANT ATMOSPHERE OF CARING

Had such fun creating action sketch no 1 with http://www.orlaghobrien.com/ today! 

She's fab & such clear and to the point drawing. I love my work and my customers to be comfortable during a session. No more fidgeting arms! That's the reason I've created APinna, out of a necessity, not a luxury. Happy healing!

APINNA IN NEARLY EVERY HEALTH FOOD SHOP IN IRELAND @OTHERWISE MAGAZINE SPRING/SUMMER EDITION

Many invaluable inventions have found their way into our lives, making things that bit easier, that bit safer, that bit more comfortable. In many cases these inventions have adapted effortlessly into our daily routine; It is as though they've always been with us.

In fact how often have we heard it said "What an earth did I do before" or "I couldn't imagine life without." We might even wonder why we hadn't thought of it ourselves!

APinna is just such an invention.

A brilliant piece of ergonomic design and engineering made of a light-weight, easy to clean, medically approved polymer. This unique product was conceived, tested and manufactured here in Ireland. It's made in Limerick and is the brainchild of Philippina Lazara who worked for years on the prototype, tinkering away at the shape, the material, the padding, even the weight and color to bring this inspired concept up to her exacting standards.

APinna was finally launched March 2016 in Dublin at the 'Mind and Spirit Festival.'

Visitors thronged to the stand where it was a star of the show. Often the first word that fell from the mouths of the visiting health and beauty therapists was "Brilliant" and "Now why didn't I think of that myself. "Philippina Lazara, known as Pina, is a sage, a healer and councilor; Born in Amsterdam she has brought her healing to many countries but chose to settle in West Cork, which has been her home for the last 20 years.

During her many decades as a therapist Pina frequently noticed a discomfort creeping into her clients lying on the massage table. She could see how arms, legs and even feet needed extra support. Relaxation is a key aspect of any healing session, yet here were clients struggling to find a comfortable position.

This was a growing problem that needed to be addressed, it rattled around in Pina's brain for ages, worried her, wouldn't go away until, walking on a sandy beach one afternoon, she tripped over a rectangular piece of driftwood. What she saw in her mind's eye resembled two arms - an idea struck her like a thunderbolt and the inspiration for APinna was born.

For practitioners in the health, beauty, spa and wellness sector, the added appeal of this invention is that this portable unattached support for the massage table is light enough to be carried in an accompanying cotton bag to any location. The brilliance of APinna is the innovative principal of counter balance, allowing the therapist freedom to position these unattached arm supports to create enhanced relaxation. The therapist just needs to wedge APinna under the natural curve of the client's back, close to the kidney area, and the client's outstretched arms will find their optimum point of comfort.

The APinna has been endorsed by a well known Irish massage table distributor, who appreciated the way in which APinna would compliment any treatment.

LIMITATIONS CAN BRING ABOUT DISAPPOINTMENT

This can kill the spirit of any child when others tell them what they can or cannot do, especially when experiencing this at a young age. Showing them an example of what is possible or not possible is a better way and more respectful. But after that let them find out for themselves what their possibilities are. In this way they can find their own boundaries and will make them later in life confident adults.

3 Weeks ago I saw a documentary about a 12 year old boy from India. He is convinced that he will find the cure to stop people dying of aids and cancer. Since he is 5 years old he wanted to work in one of the most prestigious hospitals in London, England. The documentary showed a part of his dream come true and the professors he met where stunned by his knowledge. The boy in his turn was stunned that they hadn't found the cure yet, while seeing all the equipment and time they had to their disposal.  I'm re-posting this post.  I just found a link about the boy, he is now 16 years. See link below. What an amazing story! http://www.indiatimes.com/news/16-yo-indian-origin-boy-claims-to-have-found-the-cure-for-the-deadliest-form-of-breast-cancer-260739.html

This afternoon for a few minutes I saw an interview with a 16 year old girl. She had just won the Olympic Gold Medal for America on the Balance Bar. She said as well that she had now made ONE of her dreams come true.

Not all children have to or will accomplish these kind of goals, That isn't what it is about, but more that they are happy beings going the way they wanna go...

So when your child is interested in something keep stimulating that interest. Sometimes as an adult when you think, you can't do it, you are listening to the voice of the fearful. Children most of the time don't have that voice, they feel and think they can do anything. Innocence, is their true strength, don't forget we are all reincarnations, of what we have been and what we will be... Over and over again, the never ending story...

Never under estimate a child possibilities.        Interest manifest creation :Pina Lazara

When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct this.

GUT FEELING / PERISTALTIC MOVEMENT/ PSYCHO PERISTALTIC

I use this photo because it reminds me of having lunch at my Indonesian neighbours when I was a little girl

From a young age, before I knew I was born as a spiritual healer, I've always been very interested in feelings. Either my own or other's, physical or emotional.  As you can read in my book, I had a lot of emotions rushing through my being as a young person. If I verbalised them as 'interesting' and 'worth following' most of my family and friends in those days, said  'I was too busy with 'strange things' that did not concern me!

One of the first words that ever really intrigued me many, many years ago was the word, PERISTALTIC. (I don't remember where I found it or what brought me to it), but I looked up the word in a dictionary, ( yes that's how long ago it was, before there was internet :) )!
When I read the explanation and found out that it had to do with INNER MOVEMENT, it intrigued me even more.

I then read up about the gut.  I read the word GUT FEELING and about how to follow this feeling. Our gut is our compass, inner wisdom and when our tummy gurgles, it talk to us. ( Do we listen)? This whole concept of the integration of the psychical body and its emotions fascinated me enormously.

As you can read it still does today. So here I go! Without knowing it when I was younger this intriguing gut-feeling thing became later in my work as a spiritual healer an integral  part of my healing work! ( I think it is for most healers) I love movement, inner ( processing, feelings) or outer (letting go, positive actions). Movement represents moving forward which can bring about change which hopefully brings insight, that hopefully results in growth!

FINALLY at one of my birthday breakfasts I met the sister of a friend. This woman is a bio-dynamic healer and she started to talk about  PSYCHO PERISTALTIC. She told me about the clinical Psychologist Gerda Boyesen who described "psycho-peristalsis" as an "actual healing mechanism" in the body that is situated in the viscera, and specifically in the gastro-intestinal tract.

You can imagine my enthusiasm when I found out that my life long gut fascination is actually an real existing healing mechanism!? Thank You C and N for this amazing double B-day present!( I don't feel I have to now become a bio dynamic healer, but I'm just interested in it.)



Here is more of how Gerda  Boyesen http://www.biodynamic-bodypsychotherapy.co.uk/Gerda_Boyesen explains it!


'This mechanism is the link 'between psyche and soma' and is the basis for healing in the human body and mind. Sounds from the gut can often be heard naturally, during a talking or vegetotherapy session at times of insight, after expression and resolution or when there is an "aha" moment in the process. More usually, in a biodynamic session we listen to these sounds via the stethoscope and the sounds are used as a form of biofeedback'.

'By working to get the maximum psycho-peristaltic sounds and using these as a guide, the biodynamic practitioner is enabled to follow the "Ariadne's Thread" which brings the client out of the "maze" of the unconscious and into consciousness. This is the metabolic "key" in the client that effectively and safely "unlocks" deep inner tensions, unravels old patterns and completes uncompleted emotional or nervous cycles that can cause symptoms and/or physical pain'.

'Further, by actually monitoring the parasympathetic function of the autonomic nervous system (via the loudspeaker stethoscope) the biodynamic practitioner can assist the client's body to progressively clear their cells and tissues of the residual hormonal (bio-chemical) by-products of stress. This process of physical cleansing and detoxification simultaneously assists the client to clarify negative attitudes and harmful beliefs that have led to mental disturbance and dysfunction and be open to fresh ideas. Psycho-peristalsis is the means whereby the interruption to the flow of life energy in the body and mind is organically re-connected'. Gerda Boyesen

"I then had the satisfaction of seeing his doubt dwindled away, as in the course of the work his bowel began, like a hysterically affected organ, to "join in the conversation". ;Sigmund Freud (1918)

My gut feeling tells me that I will write some more about this subject another day. :) Pina
