“Turn it off”

Just one minute of sitting with your car engine running and the vehicle not moving produces the equivalent of 150 balloons of harmful pollutants into the air.

Sonning Common Health Walks

The ‘Health Walks’ project was set up by Dr William Bird, a GP in the village of Sonning Common. The aim of the project was to improve people’s fitness, both in body and mind, by encouraging them to use their local countryside for walking. Together with Val Lunn, a local fitness instructor, Dr William Bird promoted the project which has now grown into a very successful scheme that has been adopted nationwide.

Timetables are available from the library the Health Centre and the Herb Farm, or on the website at www.sonningcommonhealthwalks.co.uk/timetable.

Overcoming Stress and Anxiety

In June, Louise Carter, DHP MAPHP (Association of professional hypnosis and psychotherapy), ran a successful two-house workshop on Overcoming Stress and Anxiety at Sonning Common Health Centre. The group learnt about the body’s reaction to stress and learnt some techniques and exercises to aid combatting future symptoms – the session received good feedback. It was, however, oversubscribed and consequently there is likely to be further sessions. If you are interested in coming to a future workshop, contact Louise. To make an appointment she can be contacted at louise@positivethinkinghypnotherapy.com or 0118 947 1749 or see www.positivethinkinghypnotherapy.com.
