INNER YOU: TOP TIPS
Heather Hull Traditional Usui Reiki Master Teacher and Practitioner
known as 'yuppie fl u'. Few doctors recognised it as a valid medical condition and many were of the opinion that it was a "skiver's charter". Prior to this illness I had never had time off work that required a sick note, yet here I was struggling to walk, some days unable to get out of bed and no end in sight - it was a bleak and worrying time for me. One doctor actually told me to get back to work and get on with it! Whilst recovering from pneumonia, an ex-colleague
I
contacted me and suggested I try a session of Reiki. She had recently learnt Reiki, found it to be very benefi cial and thought I might benefi t from it. I had one session of Reiki and was so amazed by what I
experienced and how it made me feel that I quickly decided to learn it for myself so that I could self heal and, I hoped, get better.
Surprise...it worked! Happily, it did just what I hoped and in an amazingly short space of time I regained my strength, stamina, health and happiness. I will always be grateful to Reiki as it gave me back my life.
To give thanks for this I decided to train as a Reiki practitioner and spread the word about Reiki by sharing it with other people. I was guided to train to Master Teacher level and I love not only giving Reiki treatments to people but also teaching them to use this wonderful energy for themselves and others. I have now taught Reiki to people from all over the British
Isles as well as to those who have travelled from all over the world. There's no doubt it changed my life! b We want your stories The Best You is all about inspiring people. If you have a tale to tell that you think will help someone become the best they can be, please tell us. Email:

7 CONFIDENCE TIPS FOR THE BEST YOU
Notice your body - and take charge. Your body refl ects your emotions in your physiology, which feeds back to your brain. Lift your head and pull your shoulders back - imagine you’re about to go to a party, see a favourite band, or meet a great, trusted friend. Notice your body’s posture when you think about things you look forward to. Use that posture when thinking about things you’re less confi dent about.
Breathe better People lacking in confi dence allow the diaphragm to tighten, leaving them literally speechless. Practise breathing from your diaphragm. Modern science's discovery of the entemic nervous system supports the view that your gut is the seat of your emotions. Breathe deeply and slowly - once - twice- three times... and relax.
Use your imagination constructively Worriers often imagine everything going wrong. STOP THAT! Start imagining things going right. And again, and again. This is much better practice!
Give Yourself A Break! Face your “worst case scenario” and CHILL OUT! Flunking that interview or messing up a negotiation might leave you annoyed... but actually... that’s all. When the spectre of “failure” doesn’t loom so large, you start to get things into perspective.
Allow for “failure” The important thing to remember is a setback is not an endpoint. Learn from what has happened and move on. No-one expected you to be able to learn to walk without falling. The same is true in the rest of life!
Be prepared Things might not go how you want in that deal. What alternative dealing positions can you take? Who else can you do business with? What else do you have to offer, if the fi rst opportunity passes by? Consider alternatives ahead of time, no matter what the situation.
Select Your Truth Wisely. You negotiate a pay deal but don’t get the car you wanted. Which means you’ve got something to aim for later on. That beautiful woman or handsome man turns you down. Consider what they are missing out on. Your life experience is not objective. Interpret it to your advantage!
have 100 percent hearing. He told sceptical doctors. “There is nothing I can do nothing about, even if it is to change myself to live with what has occurred.” From the moment his son was born Hill started building Blair’s expectation to hear. At age 16, doctors were flabbergasted to find Blair had developed 65 per cent normal hearing. The hearing aid manufacturer
Acousticon were so impressed by this, they built Blair a custom hearing aid. He recovered 100 per cent of his hearing, just as his father had predicted. Hill said: “It’s a miracle of modern science that helped him. But I know what I did: help him believe it was possible!”
