Mal Weeraratne’s simple body-work techniques
Posted by admin in Mal Weerarante on January 3, 2023
During the last number of years, it has been acknowledged more than ever that there is a connection between mental and physical well-being and that mental well-being is just as important as physical well-being. Mental health issues have been on the increase globally and even more so over the last 3 years resulting from the global world-wide pandemic, Covid-19. A person’s health is one of, if not the, most important possessions a person can have. Mal Weeraratne has been most of his life learning about and understanding the root causes of health and well-being and has dedicated his book ‘Emotional Detox Through Bodywork: A Woman’s Guide to Healing and Awakening’ to answering questions relating to how to heal and recovery from an imbalance within one’s body. As a pioneer in his field, Mal Weeraratne developed a ground-breaking approach to mental and physical well-being through the Body Therapy. Using a technique called Emotional Detox, the patient can experience relief from issues arising from the interaction between the body and the mind.
It is the premise of ancient eastern techniques, that there is a connection between the body and the mind and when there is an imbalance of either body or mind, this can seriously impact the other. In other words, a person born with a disability or a genetic illness, cannot be said to have “caused” this by themselves and that rather this is an outcome of circumstances over which they have had no control. This in turn may cause hardship on the individual’s life which affects their outlook, rendering them mentally imbalanced. A mental imbalance can be experienced as depression, thoughts of self-harm, or result in choices which are not favorable for that person, such as toxic or co-dependent relationships.
Likewise, when a person experiences an imbalance in their mental well-being, which could also result from genetics or chemical predispositions or resulting from them observing their exterior world and identifying problems and issues which cause them undue stress, resulting in disorders such as insomnia, weight loss or weight gain, an imbalance in hormones and so on. Similarly, that imbalance can affect the physical health of an individual and manifest in diseases such as heart problems, lowered immune systems which can result in susceptibility to contracting opportunistic bacteria and viruses, or leaving the body prone to the likes of irritable bowel syndrome, acne and chronic pain and fatigue.
No matter the source of a physical or mental problem, imbalances in one aspect of the person’s body can affect other aspects of the body in a never-ending cycle of ill-health, disease and even be the cause of accidents in their workplace or social life, as well as increasing thoughts of self-harm.
Mal Weeraratne’s simple body-work techniques will alleviate the body of ailments and illnesses which it suffers as the result of mental or physical health. As a wellness practitioner, the techniques used are non-invasive and complimentary to any of the usual allopathic treatments which a person may be using meaning there is no risk to the individual. If you are someone who can relate to the idea of augmenting your usual therapies, Mal Weeraratne may just have the answer you are looking for.

Knowall IT – your business, at your finger tips
Posted by admin in Business Services, IT Support on December 12, 2020
The majority of companies across the UK are making the move to using IT Managed Services because in turn, the business world is becoming more and more reliant on IT and how it enables a business to be achieve its full potential. For someone currently in their mid-forties, you would have witnessed the growth and development of information technology in your business and work lives, as well as in your personal lives. Those who on the fore-front of the development of IT speak with fondness when remembering the first IBM data processing systems which is said to have weighed some five tons and filled the space of an entire cold room which can these days be dedicated to hundreds of servers, routers and switches. The IBM bragged a storage space of a colossal 16 kilobytes when it was first introduced to the public in 1959! Thought to be the most powerful piece of equipment humans had ever seen in all of history and astounded users around the world.
In the last three decades alone, the world has seen IT become the fastest growing and most innovative industry with unprecedented strides in development. Back in the early 1990’s there was no such thing as the internet and when it first became available to households, anyone who was there to witness that will never forget the wails and squealing sounds made as we waited to hear whether our modem had successfully connected. These days however, one gets frustrated when the internet is off line or if the software on the computer hangs… imagine the patience it used to take in the days of the modem and then you realise just how far IT has brought us.
Managed IT support London is a competitive place to be but more and more companies are looking for IT business partners who are ahead of the curve when it comes to the IT products and services they provide and this is what makes Knowall IT West London one of the best in the business.

Lodge Brothers funeral directors Roehampton have first-hand experience when dealing with the painful consequences of 2020 and the Corona 19 Pandemic which affected, afflicted and shut down the UK, leaving families reeling as they faced the loss of freedom of choice, freedom of movement, loss of jobs, loss of finances and most difficult of all, loss of life. Funerals are highly emotionally occasions but even more when a person loses their life to a global pandemic, which appeared unexpectedly a year ago and proceed to upset our normality and shake us to the core. The passing of someone who has succumbed to Covid-19 is even more raw and emotional when that life becomes part of the painful statistics, which the country faces on a daily basis.
Lodge Brothers funeral directors Datchet do not treat your loved ones passing as if it were merely a statistic, they treat them like family. Lodge Brothers have been assisting families with their loss and grief for more than 240 years and are sensitive to the fact that losing a loved one is simply heart-wrenching. Organising a funeral can be a daunting task however with caring and professional people by your side can make it more bearable; leading your family through the process, providing you with solutions to problems, you have not experienced before. Arranging a funeral becomes seamless as Lodge Brothers alleviate any additional and unnecessary pressure for the family.
Following a death, there are many legal requirements to be undertaken, such as registering the death, Wills & Probate, completion of statutory documentation and liaison with third parties. So too are there many logistical requirements, such as bringing your loved one into our care, advising people, making decisions such as choosing between burials or cremations and financing the funeral. Lodge Brothers offers several options to pay for the funeral and will always provide families with an itemised list of services and their associated costs to enable families to decide accordingly. Funerals can be expensive, and we appreciate that this can present very real difficulty to families who have not made prior arrangements to cover such expenses. Lodge Brothers funeral charges are extremely competitive when compared to other Funeral Directors, considering the exceptional service and professionalism of our staff and superior facilities which we offer. Our funeral directors Isleworth have a solution for all financial scenarios. Lodge Brothers price match other local Funeral Directors, based on a written quotation.
Additional constraints have been placed on funerals, which must be adhered to during these times, but the UK government has provided guidance for the arranging and attending a funeral during the coronavirus pandemic. These guidelines were developed to ensure that bereaved families are treated with sensitivity, dignity and respect and that funerals can continue to take place while minimising the risk of infection. Lodge Brothers are very familiar with these stipulations and our staff strive to balance the requirements of the grieving, allowing them to mourn, with the need to minimise the spread of COVID-19 infection.
