Greetings!
Welcome to your August

We've got plenty of healthy life-changing
courses to choose from - any one of them
guaranteed to take your health to the next level!
We are sad to be saying goodbye to Tina

time position as a dental receptionist -
thank you, good luck and keep smiling Tina!
Mia has been learning the ropes and will be
joining us part-time before the end of the month.
If you are in Lewes, please drop in
and see us - we'll be glad to offer
some free advice on any health-related
questions you may have over a cool glass of
water or a soothing organic cuppa.
We hope you have a great month!
Best wishes from Paul, Bekki,
Rosie & Joel and all the Equilibrium team.

First Totally Wind Powered Village
Rock Port, Missouri has become the first
town in the US to be totally wind powered.
Four powerful wind turbines provide all the
1,300 inhabitants of Rock Port with all the
electricity they need. As the residents
average electricity consumption is 13 million
kilowatt hours per year and the turbines
produce 16 million kilowatt hours per year
there will be no shortage.
Any electricity that's not used by Rock Port
will be transmitted for use in other areas...

David Attenborough launches strategy to
save Britain's Butterflies
Sir David Attenborough has announced the
creation of Butterfly Survival Zones on 20
landscapes in the UK. Experts will work to
safeguard butterflies in these zones and aim
to increase their overall population.
The announcement made at the Natural History
Museum was aimed to coincide with the Save
Our Butterflies Week, which is a national
campaign comprising of many conservation
activities up and down the country.
"Almost unbelievably, much of Britain's
countryside is a no-go area for many
favourite butterflies. Habitat has been
ploughed up or become overgrown. Anybody
who's been for a country walk recently will
tell you butterflies are a rarity. Scientists
fear that in some areas we're entering a
post-butterfly era," said Sir David.

10 smart sunscreen tips
Wonder why you use sunscreen and still burn?
These 10 tips from greenlivingonline.com
will
help you get the most protection from your
sunscreen.
1. Know your sunshine
The sun produces two types of ultraviolet
rays and both are believed to cause skin
cancer: UVA penetrates deep into our skin and
it's difficult to get full protection from
these rays.
UVB doesn't penetrate the skin as deeply
and so these are the rays that turn us red.

when a pollution episode is expected.
Anyone with asthma or a respiratory complaint
can register free online at

freepost response form in the airAlert
leaflets at your local GP surgery or clinic.

| Thai Yoga Massage available by donation |
|
|
This month, we are delighted to host Andrea, a
Thai Yoga Massage student in her final year
of training.
Andrea has nearly completed
her Thai Yoga Massage course at the School of
Thai Yoga Massage in London, run by Kira
Balaskas, one of the leading UK experts in
this therapy.
Thai Yoga Massage is a deeply healing and
powerful combination of rhythmic massage,
acupressure, deep stretching, gentle
twisting, energy work and meditation all
rolled into one experience. Thai massage is
also known as passive yoga, or assisted yoga.
The massage generally follows the Sen Energy
lines on the body (the Sen are comparable to
Chinese meridians). The flow of the energy
lines is stimulated, opening areas which are
blocked and this brings the body, mind and
spirit back into balance.
It is believed that the massage art was
brought over to Thailand by Jivaka Kumar
Baccha, known in Thailand as Dr Shivago, a
contemporary of Buddha some 2500 years ago.
Andrea is offering treatments all this month
on a donation-only basis. So, you paid what
you wanted for your Radiohead
album download - now you can do the same for
your Thai Yoga Massage treatment. Whatever
next?!

to see a video of Thai Yoga Massage.
You
can book your session by
