• You don't need to exercise to be healthy with Jim Thorp
    May 16 2021

    Episode Notes

    On this episode Jim and I talk about a holistic view to managing your health and in particular the CHEK INSTITUTE founded by Paul Chek.

    Paul Chek is a world-renowned expert in the fields of corrective and high-performance exercise kinesiology, stress management and holistic wellness. For over thirty years, Paul’s unique, integrated approach to treatment and education has changed the lives of many of his clients, his students and their clients. By treating the body as a whole system and finding the root cause of a problem, Paul has been successful where traditional approaches have consistently failed. Paul is the founder of the CHEK (Corrective Holistic Exercise Kinesiology) Institute, based in California, USA and the P~P~S Success Mastery Coaching Program. He is a prolific author of books, articles and blog posts and the host of the popular podcast Living 4D with Paul Chek.

Then when she became a mum her life changed for the better forever when she made the decision to leave her career behind rather than pay strangers to bring her daughter up. She found network marketing and started to build her business. Like 80% of network marketers she struggled with being consistent until she discovered the book 'The Consistencty Chain for Network Marketing by George Campbell and Jim Packard.

    After reading the book and putting the covert into action she achieved her next promotion. Listen to her inspirational story on this episode.

  • Don't worry be happy with Paul Goundry
    Apr 9 2021

    Episode notes

    Find out how to reduce stress, anxiety and depression in this fabulous episode.

    Knowing the benefits, I have personally experienced from a regular meditation practice over the last few years I recommend it to my family, friends and clients.  However, I’m no expert and although I’m enthusiastic about it nothing beats the voice of experience and knowledge.  In this episode Paul Goundry who has over 20 years of experience with meditation and mindfulness explains all about the why, what, how, where and when of creating a life changing meditation practice.

    You can find out more from Pauls website http://www.watchfulness.org.uk which is a not-for-profit organisation that teaches resilience through simple meditation techniques.

    Learn through Watchfulness to regulate your emotions, manage the impact of stress and deal with the inevitable pressures of life. Learn to watch life without reacting, worrying or regretting.

    We also touch on the fabulous life of dogs and materialism and minimalism.  The films referred to that are available on Netflix are ‘Minimalism’ and ‘Less Is Now’ by the Minimalists Josh & Ryan. They also have a podcast titled ‘The Minimalists Podcast’ and a regular newsletter.

    Paul also mentions in the episode research that has been carried out by the Harvard Medical School

    Harvard Medical School

    Cardiologist Herbert Benson, MD at Harvard Medical School conducted three decades of research into the befits of meditation.

    He has concluded that any condition that's caused or worsened by stress can be alleviated through meditation. He found that the relaxation response helps decrease metabolism, lowers blood pressure, and improves heart rate, breathing, and brain waves.

    Below are a few links to some of the research.

    https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2018/04/less-stress-clearer-thoughts-with-mindfulness-meditation/

    Paul also referred to a study about the stuff we worry about and here’s an excerpt from the study:

    For the study, researchers at Penn State University asked people with GAD to write down everything they worried about for one month. The study participants also recorded the outcomes of their worriesThe researchers found that 91.4% of people's worries did not come true.
