<title>Trigger or cause</title>
<link>http://www.jentiller.com/page16.htm#107679</link>
<description>Often in the therapy biz people come in with a labelled problem or symptom.  They figure if the symptom goes away thats enough.   Often the symptom is just an end consequence.  Dealing with just the symptoms is like trying to cut down a tree by plucking one leaf at a time.  Remove it without dealing with the underlying cause eg with medication or dogma and the problem will reappear in another form. For people who go back again and again to doctors or for psychologicalemotional help for lots of different things  there are generally a few basic causes that will have an impact on the lot.For example many people assume that asthma CAUSES bad breathing 
whereas asthma is one of the CONSEQUENCES of long term bad breathing.  Reverse 
the bad breathing the asthma symptoms and other related issues rapidly vanish. Take away the asthma 
symptoms with medication though and the poor breathing is still there 
to be seen and may push the body into other conditions such as panic 
attacks or high ...</description>

<description>The last few months have brought me face to face with the breathtaking idea now theres a telling term for an exasthmatic that I dont have to wait anymore to do what I want to be what Im capable of being and that its EASIER to do that than all the effort it takes of limiting myself and believing my excuses  Phew  What a relief.For example The photography and art work you see on this site please take a look at my gallery was for a long time viewed as just a hobby not good enough to have someone pay for.  Photography was something I did to keep my husband Mark company hes a passionate big cat photographer and Sony has asked him take on the role of Advocate so I have a great mentor.  And then I realised I had a good eye for a photo.   And I dont have to know EVERYTHING to create something beautiful or interesting.  I CAN learn as I go along building as I immerse myself in the joy of it.I started using the images to illustrate my affirmations posters and gradually they are becoming popular ...</description>

<title>Teaching and learning</title>
<link>http://www.jentiller.com/page16.htm#65211</link>
<description>Something about the difference between teaching and learning and learning to teach is buzzing around in my head trying to find some sort of structure.  Im going to do a stream of consciousness with as little editing as possible  already wanting to cut and paste  to find out where Im going.
Making assumptions that what you know or understand is naturally everyone elses experience is a classic flaw and Im constantly pulling myself up on that.  The meaning I have for a phrase isnt everyones especially as Im an Aussie and the English generally who I mix with in the UK are quite often a bit confused.  And were such apparently similar cultures etc.  Oh I mean confused by me not just generally confused  no insult implied or guaranteed  
Recent training I ran reminded me how much of what I know and now take for granted in my therapeutic work has taken 15 years of repeated experience to build into the bone.  You dont become a professional at a high level without something like 10000 hours of ...</description>

<title>Better Breathing workshop and my own small miracle</title>
<link>http://www.jentiller.com/page16.htm#65008</link>
<description>On Sunday I ran a workshop on Better Breathing in Hitchin. A small group but between them they experienced health issues such as asthma high blood pressure low energy chemical sensitivies anxiety permanently blocked nose tension.....My usual besetting sin kicked in  I had the desperate desire to fix everything for them right then and there Fortunately sanity returned and I realised the chances of them absorbing everything Id learnt in 15 years in a 3 hour session was zero So I concentrated on teaching the basics of better breathing so everyone could replicate it once they got out into the real world.We explored the mechanics of overbreathing excessive shallow breathing shoulders up muscles tense and the effects of losing too much carbon dioxide  think of blowing up too many balloons The domino effect on the immune system is staggering.The group discovered how much easier life could be changing a couple of simple things  using the abdominal muscles to breathe even if theyve been ignored...</description>

<title>How bigs your Buffer Zone  Thoughts after Haiti</title>
<link>http://www.jentiller.com/page16.htm#58794</link>
<description>In a disaster people become more intensely who they are. Some people will prey on others some will give with a generosity that touches everyone some get organised or help others to do so some will deal with pain and loss with dignity and courage others will wail and blame. Taken to an extreme if you had been in the Haiti earthquake and lost all your material possessions you would be down to your core  who you are. The will to survive comes from heart and spirit. After that well think about it how easily could you rebuild from there We all know a business needs a financial buffer zone  so much in the bank to carry us through an overdraft to smooth out cash flow. What about personally What do we need to carry us through to do deal with lifes ups and downsYour personal Buffer Zone is the physical mental and emotional resources to thrive preferably more than cope in a wide range of circumstances. You have whatever physical health and energy is basic to you and otherwise the only things you...</description>

<title>Dealing with the big challenges in life.</title>

<description> 
Its amazing how many people have the illusion that they are really in control of everything and forget that our sphere of influence is not that big.  On the other hand many people forget that they have tremendous ability to affect what IS in our sphere of influence and will blame outside events for their own response.
 
When a situation is actually beyond your control you have several options.
 
1. You can worry and stress about it anyway
 
2. You can ignore it and hope it goes away this does even work occasionally.  Better to put it to one side for a little while and give your unconscious mind a chance to work without pressure.
 
3. You can revisit your priorities. Is this shortterm urgent or longterm important  Or really not that big in the scheme of things  Are your values really healthy and working for you
 
4. If you cant change the core issue what DO you still have control over   Its really important not to lump everything together.  See how many areas you can tease ...</description>

<title>Why does Buteyko Breathing help asthma</title>
<link>http://www.jentiller.com/page16.htm#57544</link>
<description>Most of us are concerned about what we eat 3 times a day. We breathe 20  30 THOUSAND times a day so how important do you think it is to get that right Poor breathing shallow fast too much for the level of activity is a crucial factor is many common conditions such as asthma high blood pressure digestion issues snoring and more. Really Yes see SCIENCE belowFortunately improving the way you breathe can rapidly reverse and then prevent many of these symptoms and will give the bodys immune system a tremendous boost. Even if youre healthy better breathing can improve thinking skills reduce tension physical and emotional and increase stamina. Calming the breathing short term is useful but for good health efficient relaxed breathing should become the bodys natural state. Fortunately the breathing habits can be changed with awareness and simple exercises. After a while it becomes your new normal. However changing such an automatic process is rather like asking an army colonel to walk like a ba...</description>

<description>WHAT is the key element of your business What shapes it What brings it alive day after dayThe answer has to be YOUYour vision your drive your skills  yes absolutely. Even more importantly the person you are with all your beliefs and the things you value.When you know what you truly value you can create a life and business in alignment with who you really are. That creates flow attracts the clients the support the opportunities that you need.This is law of attraction in action its also plain common senseImagine a business in which the proprietor values caring space quality and making connection. Imagine that somehow they ended up running a business in a lightless small office selling products that fall apart in a short time by mailorder. It would be hell. The only way they could make a success of such a business would be to stop being themselves. Longterm this is not a viable strategy Something has to give. Selfrespect energy wellbeing.

<title>Preventing Burnout  for therapists carers parents......everyone really</title>
<link>http://www.jentiller.com/page16.htm#33964</link>
<description>As people seem to work harder and more frantically preventing burnout becomes ever more crucial. This is particularly true of the caring professions this includes parents as we can spend a high proportion of our days with people in various states of distress. Well hopefully they soon feel better from our ministrations but how do we feel when theyve gone Uplifted or exhausted When we create rapport with people empathise with them and connect to show support and caring its all too easy to let that rapport take us into the other persons state. We match posture muscle tension breathing speed and tone of speech and eventually we start seeing the world the way they do. This can feel like a terrible strain indeed you may have heard or even used the term energy vampire Fortunately there is a simple strategy for maintaining your own health and energy so you can continue to give to others without strain. Ive found that in addition to the physical necessities eat sleep exercise relax taking contr...</description>

<description>Last week I had an extraordinary client.  His ambition is to be the first Irishman to climb Mount Everest without oxygen  Hes doing it for charity and the whole 2 year project has begun from scratch  no climbing experience at all.   His purpose in seeing me was to improve his breathing so that he as optimum oxygen uptake and can minimise hyperventilation at high altitudes.    Ive always said people are capable of incredible things.  Climbing the highest mountain in this case literally starts long before setting foot on its base    As a training provider for Carers in Hertfordshire Ive been running a series of workshops called Learning to Change. Going from being just a carer back to having a life in addition toinstead of being a carer is the equivalent to climbing Everest for many people.   Weve been exploring relaxation techniques mind management communicating well and practical assertiveness techniques.  For example several of the ladies yes the whole dozen were women were really unc...</description>
