I added a second neurotech patch to my left arm this morning. The one I wear all the time is to keep my metabolism steady and keep shedding weight. Today, I added the Assure patch because we are expecting active solar flares over the next couple of days. In fact, I started feeling the increased geomagnetic activity since yesterday – with a mild headache and blocked ears. I am going to be outdoors a lot today, driving my son to his middle school farewell dinner, visiting my parents and later heading to my tai chi class. I know my body well, it reacts to geomagnetic shifts. Luckily, I accidentally discovered that this patch helps me handle the physical effects so I can actually enjoy myself even during my busy days. If you have been feeling physically off or unusually tired today without a clear reason, you might want to search "solar flares today" to check the space weather data.

It’s the last day of June - let’s review products, subscriptions, commissions, news. See you soon, at 7pm UK.

I am starting a new qigong and taichi practice today - and the time for our weekly call is changing. I am looking forward to seeing you at 6:30pm UK time/ 7:30pm South Africa/ 8:30pm Bulgaria. The zoom link is accessibel to all members at level 2 and higher.

Are you joining the call? Let's talk about your health goals for the second half of the year, and how our everyday wellness systems can support you.

I keep seeing online posts and comments from teachers who go outside during recess to cry. Or write "I cannot sleep anymore" and "I have no energy." My grandfather, aunt and uncle were teachers. My parents gave their whole working lives to education. I taught university programmes myself, and some of my closest friends and clients are educators. Those confessions are not complaints. I see them as distress signals from nervous systems that have been in overdrive for too long. When you spend seven or eight hours a day managing the emotions, behaviour, and wellbeing of thirty other human beings, your nervous system pays a high price. You cannot just "think" your way out of exhaustion and agitation. When a nervous system is fried, the body has to physically calm down first. I have been using practices like havening, qigong grounding, breathwork, tapping, and specific Bowen moves for many years – they bypass the mind and speak directly to the physical weight teachers and caregivers are carrying. In February, I came across SuperPatch – a tool I had not been looking for. I spent a month reading the science behind it before I tried it. What I observe in my own physical and mental health, and in people close to me, makes it hard to ignore. If you are a teacher, or you simply recognise exhaustion and high agitation in yourself, let's explore how SuperPatch can be added to your current toolkit and practices. I have observations on several of the patches how they have been calming my mind and my body. I use Assure for physical comfort – grounded and centred, Peace brings me calm (as per reports, it balances cortisol). I use REM for very deep sleep and a sense of feeling restored. I am yet to try Zen, it is planned for my next order. Happy to have a chat in the comments or in my DMs - I read and respond to everyone.
