What is Brainspotting?

July 30, 2020 / No Comments

Chances are you haven’t heard of Brainspotting. A relatively new type of therapy discovered in 2003 by David Grand Ph.D., Brainspotting locates points in a person’s visual field that help to access unprocessed trauma in the brain. Dr. Grand discovered that “Where you look affects how you feel” and as such the therapy is designed to help one access, process, and overcome trauma, negative emotions, and pain, including psychologically induced physical pain. It has also been found to be an effective form of treatment for many mental health concerns.

Community Sunset Meditation with Sara

July 22, 2020 / No Comments

Meditation is something we’d all probably like to do more of, but often the practice gets side-lined as endless to-do lists and distractions take over. This is why we’re loving Sara Fenwick’s sunset meditation classes and marking the weekly event as a non-negotiable in the diary. Held on her spacious Santa Catalina rooftop overlooking Palma Bay, the Cathedral, and across to the Tramuntana mountains, it certainly is an inspiring backdrop for some introspection and reflection.

Jabón de Mallorca – Truly Natural, 100% Local Skincare

July 15, 2020 / No Comments

These days we seem to be inundated with skincare and cosmetic brands touting the ‘natural’, ‘eco-friendly’ and ‘organic’ labels in a bid to make us as buyers feel we are spending our money responsibly. Unfortunately, most of these brands do the bare minimum to get these accreditations. They want to satisfy growing customer demand, but don’t actually fully embrace the ethos behind these labels, usually because it is expensive to do so.

Jabón de Mallorca most definitely does not fall into this group. In fact, this small Mallorcan cosmetics company goes to great pains to ensure their handmade products are 100% natural, organic, plastic free, and made entirely local, from the ingredients and production, to label printing and packaging design.

Hello July!

July 1, 2020 / No Comments

This month we’re enjoying gorgeous long days and plenty of sunshine while we strive to stay healthy together and adapt to a uniquely quiet summer on our beautiful island.

HIT THE BEACH

The mercury has been soaring lately and with less tourists crowding the playas we’re loving our beach time and saltwater dips for some respite from the heat. Of course, protecting your skin from the sun is a must, so make sure you pack your mineral sunscreen. We throw in all our other beach bag essentials- our Cleanwave insulated drink bottle (filled with filtered water and a pinch of Himalayan salt to stay hydrated), our Evening Primrose & Calendula Toning Facial Mist from local organic skincare brand Ecologic Cosmetics, a big fluffy towel, hat, sunnies and a good book and we’re ready to go!

FEELING FIGGY

It’s fig season and as well as being deliciously sweet and tasty, figs also pack a health punch. Rich in min­er­als in­clud­ing po­tassium, cal­cium, mag­nesium, iron and cop­per, they are also a good source of an­ti­ox­id­ant vit­am­ins A, E and K, plus nat­ural sug­ars and sol­uble fibre. Figs also con­tain pre­b­i­ot­ics, which helps sup­port the pre-ex­ist­ing good bac­teria in the gut.

These jewel-like fruits can be enjoyed in so many different ways. As a breakfast treat, figs can be eaten fresh, peeled or un­peeled, with yoghurt or fruit salad, cooked into oatmeal or baked in muffins. In salads they pair particularly well with cheese, especially goat’s cheese, stilton and mozzarella. A green salad with fig, pecorino, wal­nut and bal­samic vin­egar is gorgeous combination, or figs combined with ar­tichoke and jamon is another goodie. As a starter or light meal, you can try stuffing them with goats’ cheese and wal­nuts with a drizzle of honey and bal­samic and cook at 200 de­grees for about 10 minutes. Baked in a puff pastry tart, with roque­fort and some herbs is another delicious idea.

SURVIVING YOUR SUMMER WORKOUTS

Exercising can be a quite daunting prospect in the summer heat and is possibly the last thing on your agenda. The mental effects of moving your body are even more important than the physical effects so instead of throwing away your workout routine altogether try swapping daytme and evening workouts for the mornings which tend to be cooler and much less humid. If mornings are impossible for you then at least avoid the hours of 12-3 pm when the sun is at its peak, and ensure that you stay well hydrated. If the heat outside is absolutely too much to bear than heading to a nice air-conditioned gym could be the answer! We love SIMPIFYT for their short but intense small group workouts, and The Studio Lifestyle for ballet style barre workouts to lengthen and tone. Both are located in lovely boutique studios allowing you to escape the hecticness and heat for a bit while making some valuable time just for you.

Wishing you a joyful July,

The Nourish Team.x
