Living With Twelve Men: A Mother in Training
Living with Twelve Men: a mother in training - Betty Auchard
Reading Betty’s stories are like sitting beside her and having a conversation. Betty doesn’t leave out anything as she writes about events in her life and I enjoyed the assortment of stories and her honesty. I found myself laughing many times as I read and I even thought, “no, she really didn’t do that, did she?”

Her story about the prayer chain hit home with me. When it came time for Betty’s turn to pray, I cracked up as she spoke to the group. I would have loved to be in that room and see everyone’s response as I think I would’ve started laughing. Her story about the guinea hens reminded me of the time I had turkeys. I don’t know how she kept her composure during that whole ordeal but I feel she’s a strong woman as I know I wouldn’t have been able to.

This is my second book of Betty’s that I’ve read and they’ve both been very enjoyable. Betty writes about her personal experiences which are honest and open. I read this book for book club and we had the honor this month (April 2021) of having Betty at our book club meeting via Zoom. Seeing her in person was wonderful, as she’s just like the individual, I pictured her to be. A very sweet, entertaining woman spoke with us. She answered all of our questions, talking about the stories in the book, asking us questions, and telling us about her life. We all enjoyed having her join us. 4.5 stars

Hatha Yoga Provide Firmness and Elasticity to Your Muscles Thanks to Hatha Yoga

 

Hatha yoga is considered the foundation of many styles of yoga, such as Bikram yoga and Kundalini yoga. Some yogi masters define this discipline as "the yoga of force" others as the union of two opposites: "Ha" (sun) and "tha" (moon). The practice of this type of yoga is very popular and is an excellent option for those who want to start on the path of yoga.

 

What is Hatha yoga?

 

Hatha yoga is a very slow type of yoga whose main objective is to unite the body, mind, and spirit through smooth and simple movements that connect one asana with another. This type of yoga is ideal to practice after work, as it offers to reinforce health and vitality, which considerably reduces body stress and provides a calm mind.

 

Hatha yoga  is made up of several elements :

 

  • Asanas  - postures.
  • Shodhana  - cleaning practices.
  • Pranayama  - breathing exercises.
  • Mudra  - hand gestures.
  • Badha  - locks.

 

Nowadays  Hatha yoga is the most practiced type of yoga, for this reason, it is taught in almost all yoga centers in the world. However, its popularity has been a factor against some yogis, since this boom has allowed its contribution as physical exercise to be more relevant than its relaxation, meditation and breathing techniques, which offer to reach a true mental and spiritual balance.

 

Hatha Yoga: Benefits of Your Learning

 

Among the main benefits of Hatha yoga stands out its slow and soft style that allows the body and the mind to connect with each other in order to reduce stress, promote calm, feel each breath and connect with the interior. It is a type of yoga that is lived and felt fully through the awareness of the breath.

 

Many people practice this traditional yoga because it is a great physical exercise that requires exercising, stretching, and mobilizing almost all the muscles in the body, allowing greater flexibility, strength, and toning to be achieved. Another of the benefits of Hatha yoga is that it helps promote correct body posture, being a highly recommended discipline for all those who have pain in the lower back, who have herniated discs or who suffer from sciatica.

 

Who Can Practice Hatha Yoga?

 

This is another of the benefits of Hatha yoga: it can be practiced by anyone. Any yoga teacher dedicated to teaching Hatha has the necessary faculties to help initiate a beginner in the practice of this discipline, even if they have never done yoga in their life.

To do Hatha yoga you do not need a strong, fit, or flexible body, on the contrary, those are characteristics that you can achieve through the practice of this discipline. The yoga teacher is responsible for adapting each pose to the individual needs of their students.

 

The path of yoga is very long and Hatha is the best discipline to start walking. If you are looking for a type of yoga that allows you to exercise while learning to be aware of your breathing to order your thoughts: Hatha yoga is for you!

 

How to Design a Hatha Yoga Routine

 

An ideal Hatha yoga routine should be composed of an initial warm-up that you can carry out by performing the sun salutation and pranayama. Then it is time to start practicing the asanas, which must include extension, torsion, flexion, inclination, meditation, and, finally, relaxation.

 

Each yoga teacher can design their own Hatha yoga routine by combining a series of traditional asanas and selecting the pranayamas and relaxation and meditation techniques that they consider most effective. For this reason, a yoga class is always different, because there are many elements that make it up.

 

When practicing yoga you should take it seriously,  this discipline will not be as effective for you if you do not listen carefully to each of the instructions when performing the asanas and if you do not coordinate your breathing with your movements. Therefore, if you have never practiced Hatha yoga, it is best to go to a professional yoga center where you can learn from the hands of real experts.

A deserved and loving homage to a true caring profession
Rituals & Myths in Nursing: A Social History - Claire Laurent

Thanks to Rosie Croft, from Pen & Sword, for providing me a paperback copy of this book, which I freely chose to review.

This is not the first book about nursing from Pen & Sword that I review, but it seems a particularly appropriate moment to read it and comment on the changes that have taken place in a profession that is right now at the forefront of everybody’s mind. The hard work all the healthcare professionals are doing, at a high personal risk, should not be underestimated, and I hope this health crisis (the coronavirus pandemic) will make governments realise that there are certain things that we should never try to make savings on, because the consequences can be catastrophic. But, let’s talk about the book.

The above description captures perfectly the essence of this book. It is packed full of anecdotes by nursing staff from different generations, as the long list of acknowledgments at the beginning of the book reflects. It is a wonderful combination of fun, bizarre, and touching episodes, memories of uniforms, strange cures (and I’ve heard of some of them, so yes, fashions change over the years), strict cleaning routines that would have made army sergeants proud (including how to make a bed properly), ghosts,  cooking breakfast in the wards, what used to pass for medication… all of them steeped up in the social circumstances of the period and reflecting the changes, not only in Medicine and Nursing (from learning on the job, nursing became a university degree, and from tradition and usage they moved onto evidence-based practice), but in society at large. Although I haven’t worked in a hospital for a few years, one of my best friends is a nurse; I have worked and met many nurses, and all the stories rung true for me.

The book includes some wonderful black and white illustrations, a bibliography (with blogs and websites as well as books and articles), a detailed index and even a chart of medical slang. The book is divided into twelve chapters: Without Rhyme or Reason (talking about training and the reasons why women [and later on, men also] decided to go into the job, in many cases out of family tradition); Nurses Who Rustle (uniforms, badges and related items); Handover and Hierarchy (times have changed and the way things are done have also changed, mostly for the better, although there is plenty of nostalgia and some true characters most nurses will never forget); Hygiene and Hijinks (cleaning protocols have changed in so many ways…); Egg White and Oxygen (treatments that had very little, if any, scientific base, but were followed religiously at the time); Bladders, Bowels and Bodily Functions (I don’t think I need to explain this); Medicines and Mystical Powers (this chapter deals not only with medications and drugs that would never be used now and were probably quite dangerous, but also with the procedures and routines imposed in the past that are almost impossible to believe now); Things that go Bump in the Night (ghosts stories… What proper old hospital does not have one ghost or many? And of course, the ghosts of nurses are hard at work ensuring the wellbeing of patients even after death); Dust, Dirt and Domesticity (cleaning protocols past and present); Once the Dust has Settled (gloves, potions, kits…); Theatre theatricals (being in a surgical theatre is an experience as nurses know only too well); Life and Death (births, deaths and everything in between).

This book is a delight. It’s full with many different voices, from different eras, from nurses that had worked in a variety of specialities, all sharing personal stories or stories that they had heard on their jobs. Some are emotional, some funny, and I must warn people who are squeamish about illnesses and bodily functions, as there are some anecdotes that might make them cringe. But anybody who enjoys books about nursing, social history, or just a genuine story with plenty of heart, should read this book. And if you know any nurses or anybody interested in the topic don’t forget to recommend it. It’s a great homage to a profession that has always been and remains, a true caring profession.
