Greetings!
Welcome to your March
newsletter.
We'd all like to wish you a very Happy
Easter this month - if you are able to drop in
and see us, we have some special chocolate
treats this month for anyone mentioning this
newsletter. Yummy!
Our new receptionist, Rosie, will be
joining our reception team this month and
Tina will be increasing her hours too -
they'll be glad to welcome you to the clinic
mid-week. And we are now open 7 days, so you
can book a treatment every day of the
week.
And if you are booking your first
treatment, help yourself to the £5 voucher
below.
Happy Easter and best wishes from Paul,
Bekki, Tina, Joel, Rosie and all the
Equilibrium team.

Prozac, used by 40m people, does not work
say scientists
Prozac, the bestselling antidepressant
taken by 40 million people worldwide, does
not work and nor do similar drugs in the same
class, according to a major review released
at the end of last month.
The study examined all available data on the
drugs, including results from clinical trials
that the manufacturers chose not to publish
at the time. The trials compared the effect
on patients taking the drugs with those given
a placebo or sugar pill.
When all the data was pulled together, it
appeared that patients had improved - but
those on placebo improved just as much as
those on the drugs.
Complementary therapies that can help with
depression include Acupuncture,
Bach
Flower Remedies, Counselling,
Homeopathy
and Shiatsu.

Only 15% on 5-A-Day
The Health Food Manufacturers' Association
(HFMA) of the UK recently conducted a survey
to try and establish how many people in the
UK were sticking to the recommended 5 fruits
or vegetables a day for healthy nutrition.
They surveyed 3,300 people and concluded that
about 80 percent of adults ignore the 5 a day
recommendation. They also learnt from the
survey that many adults believed that
potatoes were included in the 5 a day, when
in fact they are not.
They also learnt that an estimated 32 million
adults were already taking supplements,
especially multivitamins, in order to make up
for any nutritional deficiency.

Finding True Love
with Robin and Lucilla Ravenhill
A One Day Practical Spiritual Workshop To
Help You Attract Your True Love Partner
For Singles and Couples
"It gave me an entirely new perspective
on love and loving relationships. I feel more
open minded, more open to love in general,
actually." - Jenny
"Compassionately facilitated. I felt
brave to be there, but safe. A very
inspiring, well structured and practical day.
Thank you." - Adrian
In a safe and inspirational space, we will
explore the Key Elements to manifesting the
truly loving relationship we really want.
True love is our birthright, for all of
us, not just the fortunate few. Although it
can seem elusive, love is actually our
innermost nature, the truth of who we are. It
is our fears, beliefs and stories that keep
us feeling separate from ourselves and
others.
But these are like clouds that
form in front of the sun, blocking out the
light that is always there. As we awaken to
our true nature as loving and loveable we
prepare ourselves for union at the highest
and deepest level, the real thing, the
'coming home' experience of two souls joined
in one love.
For full details please click here
or contact Equilibrium
to ask for the workshop leaflet, or contact
Robin and Lucilla personally on 01323 484407
or robinravenhill@hotmail.com
Cost: just £65

| Apologies for email interruption |
|
|
For the last 2 weeks of last month, we had no
broadband service due to complete service
failure by Tiscali, our Internet Service
Provider. So
if you were expecting our usual swift
response to your email enquiry, please accept
our apologies for any delay you may have
experienced.
We did our best under extreme
pressure. We have now changed our ISP and
expect response levels to quickly return to
normal. If you require a very quick reply, or
need confirmation of a booking, please call
us on 01273 470955. Course bookings were
unaffected by the broadband loss.

| Quote of the Month |

"The world is a great mirror. It
reflects back to you what you
are. If you are loving, if you are friendly,
if you are helpful,
the world will prove loving and friendly and
helpful to you. The
world is what you are.
