Hypnotherapy is able to help you with any health problem you may have.
Here’s how a hypnotherapy session works:

Firstly, Hypnotherapy IS NOT the same as HYPNOTISM.

Hypnotherapy guides you into the Alpha state in which you are always aware of what is
happening and can understand me and converse with me throughout. Any illness will
most likely go into remission or disappear completely depending on various factors
including the duration and severity of the problem.

We all have more than one underlying issue to deal with. The brain may not be able to
deal with them in a single session. We may therefore, at your option, do other sessions
for specific problems or issues, or for general health & wellbeing.

The duration of a session is usually between 1,5 and 2,5 hours.
The cost of an Assessment/Hypnotherapy session is R650 (irrespective of the duration). Subsequent sessions will include re-assessment and progress and will be just R550.

In 1889, the first congress of the Second International, meeting in Paris for the centennial of the French Revolution and the Exposition Universelle, following a proposal by Raymond Lavigne, called for international demonstrations on the 1890 anniversary of the Chicago protests. May Day was formally recognized as an annual event at the International’s second congress in 1891.

Subsequently, the May Day Riots of 1894 occurred. In 1904, the International Socialist Conference meeting in Amsterdam called on “all Social Democratic Party organizations and trade unions of all countries to demonstrate energetically on May First for the legal establishment of the 8-hour day, for the class demands of the proletariat, and for universal peace.” The congress made it “mandatory upon the proletarian organizations of all countries to stop work on May 1, wherever it is possible without injury to the workers.”  

In many countries, the working classes sought to make May Day an official holiday, and their efforts largely succeeded. May Day has long been a focal point for demonstrations by various socialist, communist and anarchist groups. In some circles, bonfires are lit in commemoration of the Haymarket martyrs, usually at dawn. May Day has been an important official holiday in countries such as the People’s Republic of China, North Korea, Cuba and the former Soviet Union. May Day celebrations typically feature elaborate popular and military parades in these countries

In the United States and Canada, however, the official holiday for workers is Labor Day in September. This day was promoted by the Central Labor Union and the Knights of Labor, who organized the first parade in New York City. After the Haymarket Massacre, US President Grover Cleveland feared that commemorating Labor Day on May 1 could become an opportunity to commemorate the affair. Thus he moved in 1887 to support the Labor Day that the Knights supported.

In 1955, the Catholic Church dedicated May 1 to “Saint Joseph The Worker”. The Catholic Church considers Saint Joseph the patron saint of (among others) workers and craftsmen.

Far-right governments have traditionally sought to repress the message behind International Workers’ Day, with fascist governments in Portugal, Italy, Germany and Spain abolishing the workers’ holiday. 1 May in the US is celebrated as Loyalty Day.

Celebrate South Africa’s unique constitution and democratic freedom

Freedom Day (27 April) is a national public holiday in South Africa that serves to commemorate the country’s first democratic post-Apartheid elections, held in 1994.

On this day, Mzansi started the process of  walking away from its dark, colonialist past  and sloughing off the shackles of white minority domination by electing Nelson Mandela through a free and fair voting process.

The holiday also pays homage to Mzansi’s unique and remarkably detailed and inclusive constitution – including a Bill of Rights that is second to none. The document is widely recognised as one of the most developed charters in the world, and guarantees all those within South African borders the freedom from the hatred and oppression that ruled the past.

(A warm South African welcome to the Mzansi Tour. Mzansi is the Zulu word meaning ‘the South’ and is often used as a colloquialism to refer to South Africa.)

A draw for The Beautiful Bird conributed towards “A Chance for Every Child”,  a charitable project supported by The Novalis Ubuntu Institute in Wynberg (NPC 004 003) to assist orphaned and vulnerable children who grow up in adverse and challenging conditions.

A sweet and generative fundraising event was held at Obz Books in Observatory on 18 April 2013 evening attended by around 20, hosted by Fiona and Anne-Lise to raise some funds (R1000) for Novalis ‘A Chance for Every Child’ project – with Fiona’s Book illustrations on show with her favourite one raffled off (The Beautiful Bird) at Obz Books owned by Gareth, a friend of Gawronskys.

 Publicly, I’m sceptical of anything the Kundalini yoga and lentil-munching crowd predict.  But this time I was secretly hoping they were on to something and that the dawning of a New World Order would go something like this:  I emerge from my underground bunker on the morning after the Big Day, tentatively venture outside and find everything is quite the same on the surface, yet monumental changes are taking place at home and afar.

One by one, every person across the globe realises war is stupid and that we’ve evolved far beyond that.  Same goes to religious, sexual and racial intolerance, and for misogyny, oppression and all other human and animal rights abuses.

Saturated by this all-empowering wave of moral change undulating across Earth, Jacob Zuma wakes up with a conscience and publicly admits he is a “kept president”.  Beset by a newfound shame, he steps down from office immediately, gets a nine-to-five job and begins the arduous work of repaying every cent pilfered.

Driven by the same wave, the ANC appoints someone with a solid moral compass as president.  I dunno…how about Jay Naidoo?  Ok, we’ll go with him for now.  Jay – as he insists to be called – rolls up his sleeves and sets about rooting out the rot, all the way from the top down to local municipal level.

Naturally, this begins with several high-level replacements.  Angie Motshekga is swiftly booted and replaced by Mamphela Rampele.  Textbooks are delivered to schools on time this year and the entire basic education system revamped for the better.

Kumi Naidoo is recalled from Greenpeace to take over the Environmental Affairs portfolio.  His first order of business is to install free solar geysers in every household, a move he pays for by selling the navy’s frigates (that should about cover it, right?)

Public Protector Thuli Madonsela takes over as Minister of Police, upon which she establishes a truly independent special investigations team to crack down on corruption and white-collar crime (kinda like we had with those Scorpions).

Ben Turok, as the New Minister of State Security, instantly abolishes the Secrecy Bill, while new Minister of Health Zackie Achmat begins the mammoth task of sanitising his department.

Of course Helen Zille volunteers to take on three portfolios simultaneously: foreign affairs, government communication and women, children and people with disabilities, which she somehow manages to run rather well in between cycling and learning a new DA dance with Lindiwe Mazibuko.

As Jay continues the great leadership restructure, the moral consciousness wave hits Nicky Oppenheimer, Cyril Ramaphosa, Johan Rupert, Christo Wiese, Raymond Ackerman, Patrice Motsepe and South Africa’s other grotesquely wealthy.  They immediately volunteer to donate 99% of their wealth to sustainable projects and NGOs which assist the country’s poor.

So inspired by this new style of leadership is AfriForum chairman Flip Buys that he abandons protesting Pretoria name changes and concedes conditions on farm workers are “not what they should be”.  He immediately sets off on a countrywide mission to ensure all AfriForum members become Fair Trade certified.

As the winds of change blow from the mountains to the savannahs, Julius Malema is moved to donate his Breitling and designer Italian wear to charity, bows out from politics and joins an eco-village in Limpopo, where he lives out the rest of his years as recluse.

Meanwhile Steve Hofmeyr suddenly becomes rational, apologises in earnest for the vitriol he’s spewed over the years and, in self-imposed penance, takes a lifelong vow of silence.

Now do you see why I’m disappointed the hippies were wrong and there was no seismic shift in global consciousness on December 21?

Still, it’s a nice dream.  And maybe it’s not that far fetched.  After all, stranger things have been happening in South Africa…………….

The law defines Mother Earth as “…the dynamic living system formed by the indivisible community of all life systems and living beings whom are interrelated, interdependent, and complementary, which share a common destiny; adding that “Mother Earth is considered sacred in the worldview of Indigenous peoples and nations.

In this approach human beings and their communities are considered a part of mother earth, by being integrated in “Life systems” defined as complex and dynamic communities of plants, animals, micro-organisms and other beings in their environment, in which human communities and the rest of nature interact as a functional unit, under the influence of climatic, physiographic and geologic factors, as well as the productive practices and cultural diversity of Bolivians of both genders, and the cosmovisions of Indigenous nations and peoples, intercultural communities and the Afro-Bolivians.

This definition can be seen as a more inclusive definition of ecosystems because it explicitly includes the social, cultural and economic dimensions of human communities.

The law also establishes the juridical character of Mother Earth as “collective subject of public interest”, to ensure the exercise and protection of her rights. By giving Mother Earth a legal personality, it can, through its representatives (humans), bring an action to defend its rights.

Additionally, to say that Mother Earth is of public interest represents a major shift from a anthropocentric perspective to a more Earth community based perspective.
