Amanae to fight Stress

Have you paid attention to what happens to the body when it feels stressed?

The body mobilizes its resources to deal with the stressor at hand: the body is stimulated to produce stress hormones that trigger a “freeze, fight or flight” response and activate the immune system to be able to respond quickly to a challenging or dangerous situation. It’s the body natural response and it can be appropriate, a good reaction that propels us forward: when running a marathon or studying for a final exam we can benefit from more oxygen and nutrients delivered to our extremities or brain for a short period of time.

The problem is when stress becomes too much. As human beings we have an “anticipatory stress response” that can easily spin out of control: a thought can activate the same stress response an animal can get running for its life through the African savanna. When this response is activated too often or for long periods of time (as it happens with trauma) we can get sick: we can be in a permanent state of “freeze, fight or flight” as the stress hormones would be supplied continuously.

Stress can be chronic and can impact on both physical and mental health. We can experience stress with emotional changes like sudden short temper, becoming withdrawn, indecisive or inflexible, experiencing sleep difficulties, being too irritable or tearful. We can also experience headaches, nausea or indigestion, have palpitations or suffer from various aches and pains. We will quickly return to normal without any negative effects if what is stressing you is short-lived, and many people are able to deal with a certain level of stress without any lasting adverse effects.

Massage therapy has been shown to decrease cortisol levels in the body allowing the body to enter a recovery mode. Massage assists physical & emotional relaxation improving mood and reducing stress levels. Regular massage can support energy levels, reduce pain and stimulate physical and emotional wellbeing.

Amanae Emotional Release Bodywork is really effective therapy to release longtime chronic stress due to trauma or difficult feelings/situations. Abuse, fear, anxiety, grief, depression, PSTD, guilt, shame, can be the cause of stress and many illnesses.

Shake off all that is not needed anymore!

 Hypnotherapy For Success: GSCE And A-Level Students 

 HYPNOTHERAPY FOR SUCCESS: GSCE AND A-LEVEL STUDENTS 

Do you have a stressed teenager at home that will soon be revising for their exams? 

Jenny Colin is running 50-minute sessions (£65) for students at Make Me Feel on Monday mornings (9am to 2pm) from April, focusing on: 

– Managing anxiety and stress so that revision is positive and productive. 

– Keeping calm, confident and articulate during written and oral exams. 

– Addressing unhealthy, persistent or self-limiting beliefs such as “I’m just no good at Chemistry” or “There’s no way that I’m going to do well in History”. 

– Leaving students with practical and neuroscientific knowledge that helps them to maintain a healthy and resilient mindset! 

You could opt for a one-off session to start study leave in an optimum frame of mind or before an exam. Or you could decide on a few sessions during the revision and exam months. Jenny is a University- qualified, fully insured and DBS-cleared Clinical Hypnotherapist that works with adults, teenagers and younger children. She focuses on achieving rapid results for clients and draws on a wide range of disciplines within a hypnotherapeutic framework, including Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP), Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR), mindfulness approaches and breathing techniques. 

A typical session includes a solution-orientated discussion about any particular issues, challenges or goals (10-15 minutes); a relaxation or visualisation exercise (20 minutes); and then a focus on teaching short practical tools and take-home exercises that are effective for each unique client (15-20 minutes). In working with GCSE and A-Level students, Jenny Colin (PG Dip, MPA, MA (Oxon)) is also able to draw on her own personal experience of coping successfully with exams in many different academic institutions.

7h Cooked Easter Lamb


Le Gigot de 7 heures (7 hours cooked lamb): Seven hours! Really ?

The idea is that the leg of 7 hours cooked long … and slowly.   For those who would not dare to engage in such cooking, do not panic, we can organize …   Some put the leg of 7 hours to cook for lunch, others leave it at night to take it out of the oven the next day.  Anyway, in the end, the leg of 7 hours will be tender. Tender to the point of being eaten by the spoon … Well, almost!

Ingredients: (For 10 people)

-1 leg of lamb of 2.5 kg

– 250 g of rind

– 200 g carrots

– 300 g of onion

– 500 g peeled tomatoes,

– seeded 1 bouquet garni (thyme, bay leaf, parsley, clove)

– 30 cl of beef broth

– 10 cl of olive oil

– 10 cl of cognac

– 50 cl of white wine

– Pepper & Salt

Step 1 Season the leg with salt and pepper and sauté in hot oil.

Step 3 Cook for 7 hours in the oven at 120 ° C. Monitor the cooking and add water if necessary.
