October Fest

 

This month's dynamic YES Scotland .....

 

Don Chisholm, at the age of 50, rapidly approached the point of no return. His usual doctor said there was nothing wrong, but Don knew this was a mis-diagnosis. He immediately went for another opinion. That second opinion resulted in urgent medical care (Don later discovered that they didn't expect him to survive long enough to make another appointment). 6 years on and Don was looking great as he stood before us! And he shared some of the secrets to his remarkable recovery, delivering the message that health starts in the colon. The range of his discussion was extensive; pointing out that aspartame (aka Nutrasweet) when heated to over 30 degrees celcius turns into formaldehyde, that we are the only mammal to drink milk beyond childhood and the only one to drink the milk of another animal.

The second speaker extended health and wellbeing to the workplace. Ever wondered why you are unhappy at work? Or why others enjoy it even more than you do? Catherine Brookes uses some of the Robbins techniques to help select personnel for large companies. Catherine delves under those automatic responses to see how our 6 basic needs must be fulfilled by the work we do.

When they do not, or the values of the company go against your belief system, stress and dissatisfaction result. Catherine demonstrated the techniques with a volunteer: the quick analysis with David allowed us all to see how the techniques can draw out what is important. Using these make it more likely that a prospective employee will enjoy the new company and vice versa.

 

As a special opportunity after the event, Bryce took a number of us for a wee firewalk in Blairgowrie. It turned out to be a great evening - one of those for the memory banks! Great fun was had naming all the logs that went onto the fire, and the build up was calm, measured and relaxing (unlike when Tony Robbins does his firewalks!). About 14 people did the firewalk with most doing it 2, 3 and 4 times. Wheeeeeeeeeee! All under a gloriously, clear, starry night. There are no pictures of the people firewalking as the flash might have distracted the walkers. Photos of the build-up are however on the website.
