Beautiful skin … Naturally
You may have heard it before – the skin is in fact our largest bodily organ, and is often considered the largest organ in our protective immune defence system as it acts as a physical barrier against microbes, bacteria and viruses. But did you know that skin makes up 7% of our total weight – an average adult weighing 70kgs has roughly 2 square metres of skin.

Dry Skin Brushing
The body organises itself, in part, through a continuous dance of creating new while simultaneously shedding old, and it does this process especially efficiently with skin cells.

Argan Oil
For centuries, the Berbers from the stark coastal corner of North Africa have followed goats around as they climbed the spiny, evergreen Argan trees to eat their leaves and leathery olive-sized fruit. They collect the undigested pits that the goats spit out or excrete and split them to extract the bitter kernels inside, which they grind and press to make a nutty oil used in cooking and cosmetics.

Healthy Hair using an Ayurvedic approach
The Ayurvedic approach recognises that the health of hair depends on the proper functioning of the tissues. The nutrient fluid produced from the digestion of food has a significant part to play as it nourishes the tissues. So poor diet, illness, lack of proper hygiene, and nutritional deficiencies can affect the hair and cause various problems.

EMOTIONAL HEALING
Forgiveness
Giving yourself forgiveness is a powerful activity and is often an emotion we forget about when we are processing our life issues. Forgiveness is an energy of attraction that brings about change in your life and creates opportunities to become more of who you really are.

The Age of Selfishness
With our current young people being deemed the “me generation”, we may have to welcome in The Age of Selfishness. Those born in the 1970s, 80s and 90s are said to be the first group of people to believe that the needs of the individual should come first.

SPIRITUAL HEALING
A Walk on the Dark Side
It is important to acknowledge that we keep the darkest parts of ourselves well hidden. All sentient beings have the capacity to be ruthless and inhuman. Most of us are ashamed of this capacity within ourselves and are in a process of denial.

Marriage and a spiritual path … if only
As the founder of The Forge Guild of spiritual leaders, Robert Forman has probably interviewed or befriended more than a thousand spiritual teachers, leaders and committed spiritual people. Unlike our monastic forbears, he says, most of us have been married or in committed relationships (yes, this includes him), and as it turns out, are not especially good at it.

NYABAYI – an extract from The Exceptional Brain
by Robert M. Kaplan
In 1992, in a remote and isolated part of the Drakensberg mountains in the eastern Cape Province of South Africa, archaeologists stumbled upon a six-metre-high rockface of 231 rock-painted images. These paintings were found to illustrate hitherto unknown aspects of the history and culture of an extinct people and have been described as the Rosetta Stone of Southern African rock art.

PHYSICAL/SPIRITUAL HEALING
What is Yoga therapy?
We are probably all quite familiar with a typical Yoga class, with its content and pace largely at the discretion of the teacher. Class sizes vary from a few people up to 30+ and usually participants will have a varying level of skill and experience. Because of the inherent transformative powers of Yoga there’s a good chance that whatever class you find yourself in you will feel better a the end of it than you did when you walked in. But what if you need more?
