Healing Depression

As the author of Whispers from the Angels I am pleased to say that I have been guided to write another healing book.

My journey through depression lasted many years and at times it was for me life threatening.  I know now that I have been one of the luckier ones to have come out of it on the other side by learning how to recognise and use my Life Tools.

Healing Depression Using Life Tools is a book that has at times been channelled to me from a much Higher Power and it has been written with great passion to show people that in time you can recover from an illness such as depression.

About the Author

The discovery of being able to learn to identify and access my own Life Tools to assist me through my journey of depression has been a truly enlightening experience as it has taken me from the darkness into the light.

We all have Life Tools, they are deeply entrenched within all of us and if we are able to recognise them and use them in a positive way they really can help us through all of those tough times in life.

A great deal of uncovered wisdom through my journey has taught me that we can empower ourselves back to a much happier and healthier way of life if only we would take the time to educate ourselves and learn to be more in tune with what our bodies are really saying to us in times of great stress.

The journey that I went through has taught me a great deal about myself, I would not trade what I went through now for anything in the world for it has taught me that no matter how deep the hurt in life there is always hope.  We do not need to travel through these really tough times alone.  There are always people out there who can assist us to manage our illness in a more positive way if only we will let them.

Faith, hope, and an innate belief in ourselves are powerful Life Tools and they play a major role in allowing us through time to become better.

Positive change will always promote positive growth and you can achieve wellness by accessing your Life Tools.  Empower yourself to a much more balanced way of life by learning that it is okay to love yourself.  Learn to value your life in a way that you have never done so before.

Never ever give up on hope!

Choosing and Bringing Up

Your Puppy

In this witty no-nonsense guide to puppy selection and training, veteran dog trainer Peter Franks, gives the facts, poses relevant questions to the reader  and provides instruction on how to train a new puppy so that she or he matures into a well mannered, loving and responsive member of the family.

There are many photographs, sketches, cartoons and True Stories to help illustrate what Peter has to say.

Peter gives advice on:

  • how to identify the dog breed which best suits you and/or your family
  • where you can look for a puppy
  • what you need to get for and how to prepare your home for the new family member.
  • toilet training
  • consecutive training instructions – the sit, stand, down, recall, the stay,  walking and place up (heel).
  • There is a chapter on rescue dogs, another on what Peter calls the fear factor and yet another on how to deal with common behaviour problems such as separation anxiety and dominance.

In the Appendix there is information on Obedience Competitions. Peter uses the Companion Dog – Novice Class Competition as an example to:

  • state the Australian National Kennel Council Rule Book requirements
  • tease out what the rules mean
  • provide training tips for each exercise in the Competition.

About the Authors

Peter would like to thank his wife June for her support, encouragement and advice over the past 55 years. There are several others who have influenced him throughout his competition years, dog training career and Judging role. Pat Baily for her help in training his Golden Retriever Woody for the NSW State Titles Competition (Woody won the Novice Gold Medal). Thanks to George Bartolo for encouraging Peter to become an instructor, to Lucy Ellem who was his mentor and who gave Peter the incentive to join the NSW Canine Council and then to undertake his training to become a Judge. And to Danny and Silvia Wilson of BarkBusters™ for their encouragement over the years.

A special acknowledgement must go to Dog behaviourist John Fisher (author of “Think Dog”) who completely changed Peter’s approach to dog training from negative training where harsh words and actions are used, to positive training in which dogs are rewarded for trying and/ or doing something correctly. Beverly would like to thank her husband Daniel for his encouragement to get a dog; a dog who has improved their lives in so many ways.

Peter and Beverly would also like to express their gratitude to Kyle and Erin Charnock for allowing them onto their property and Eraky Labradors kennel at his farm in Bargo; to Wendy Donahue of Golden Retriever Rescue Inc for allowing them to use information directly from their website and for information on Roger.

Also thanks to the Committee of the Illawarra Dog Training Club for allowing us to attend a training session and to take photos while there. They really appreciated Noah’s mother Ros Southhall, for giving us Noah’s story and photo. There are many of Peter’s clients who have generously allowed their dogs to become part of this publication. Last but not least, we acknowledge Denis Ivaneza’s photographic expertise (Inner Visions) in getting some tricky shots for us.

The User’s Manual For Your Body

  • HOW THE BODY HANDLES THE FOOD WE EAT
  • WHY WE GET OBESITY AND BECOME SICK
  • HOW TO CURE IT AND STAY HEALTHY

Your body is the most sophisticated thing in the Universe, and you should view it as your most treasured possession. But you did not arrive in this world with a user’s manual that tells you how your body works, particularly in relation to the food you put into it, and what goes wrong when you do things differently to how you have evolved.

Two thirds of western society are either overweight or suffering from obesity. This a potent source of unhappiness, extending in many to anxiety, stress and clinical depression. But there’s also a significantly increased risk of serious diseases such as cancer, heart attacks, strokes, Alzheimer’s disease, arthritis and diabetes. If you contract any of these there’s a very good chance you will die prematurely.

Statistics show that what we are currently doing is clearly not working. And that’s because people simply don’t know or have been given the wrong information. The User’s Manual For Your Body provides in simple terms everything you need to know.

In response, he has developed Nysteia and the Nysteia Formula. with his good friend and business partner John Aronis. The science is complex but the solution is easy.

 
 
 

About the Authors

JOHN ARONIS

MBBus (Acc) GradDipCA MComm MA (PAIS) CA CTA

John was born in Sydney, and was raised in Brisbane with some of his childhood spent in Goondiwindi, Murgon, and Yeppoon. He now calls Brisbane home (or, more correctly, Pine Rivers Shire!)

He has a Bachelor’s degree in business, a Master’s degree in Commerce, and a Master of Arts in Political and International Studies. He is a Chartered Accountant and Chartered Tax Advisor, and is Principal of his accountancy business based in Brisbane.

John has experienced a personal battle with obesity for many years, and like many individuals was left frustrated and totally confused by the lack of authoritative information on how best to deal with it. His personal story can be found in his bio video.

After studying the topic extensively and putting into practice the Nysteia Formula he has now reached his biological optimum weight (BOW). And importantly, he will never again become overweight and progress to obesity.

With his good friend and business partner, Dr Andrew Renaut, he has developed Nysteia and put all of this experience and knowledge into the one place, so that others may derive the same benefit.

When he is not working, John likes to maintain his physical and mental wellbeing by continuing with the Nysteia Formula on a daily basis.

John is a trained classical guitarist, but can damn well play the blues on a Fender Stratocaster, and shares this guitar passion with Andrew. He also enjoys flying planes, walking in rainforests, and practicing the Japanese martial art of Aikido in which he holds the rank of 3rd Dan Black Belt. As often as he can, he returns to Osaka Japan, which he considers paradise on Earth.
