HTP5 is great natural aid to achieving peace of mind and combating sleepless nights. HTP5 is a natural remedy and can be purchased from most health food stores. It is a food supplement which can be taken to increase the levels of serotonin, a chemical the brain manufactures to produce feelings of relaxation and happiness. We recommend it as a natural alternative to those who are prone to anxiety or stress related conditions as it is non-addictive and does not produce any negative side effects.

Ground yourself regularly! Certain personality types are more prone to imbalance in this area, as are certain astrological signs, including those who take recreational drugs, for example, cannabis and/or stimulants including alcohol in vast amounts. Grounding is very important for all of us. It allows us to feel happy, balanced and in harmony with one another and life itself. When we are grounded we see clearly and make appropriate choices for our happiness and success. It is an especially important practice for those who are open spiritually, psychically or involved in the healing arts and will greatly enhance your performance and ability to manifest the results you desire. Signs of being ungrounded include lack of focus, disorientation, losing touch with reality, feeling disconnected or off key, daydreaming and hyper-sensitivity! Methods for grounding yourself include spending time in nature, exercise, dancing, foot massage, breathing exercises, using grounding cords through visualisation, gardening and connecting to the earth. Eating root vegetables such as potatoes, carrots and parsnips will also help. Plant and flower essences are excellent for grounding purposes. You can add a few drops of your chosen remedy to a glass of water several times a day or drop it directly on to your tongue.

A little bit of what you love is also essential to feeling great. Did you know that chocolate contains calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D! And if that isn’t enough to convince you scientific research has confirmed that the antioxidants contained within cocoa can assist in warding off cancer and heart disease although only if a sensible amount is consumed (less than 100grams per day). Dark chocolate is the healthiest, but whatever your preference, remember to take it easy as just 100 grams contains around 500 calories!!!
