Exam Time
That time of year again, and the sun will surely shine as our students are stuck in exam halls. It’s that final cramming and pulling together of all the knowledge that they have amassed over the year. Congrats to our students who completed their practical exams last week, each of you did yourselves and HCE proud. Wishing each of you the very best of luck for 6 theory papers next week-you are so well prepared it’ll be a breeze to you. The key now is to reduce the stress levels at this point-that stress was important as a motivator to pay attention and learn, but examinations really only test your recall ability, so relaxation is the name of the game at this point. Actually a lot of my private clients are leaving certificate students, whose parents are anxious about them not sleeping etc, the energy therapies are excellent at achieving that, and there are techniques that I teach the students to aid their recall ability, if they have paid attention in classes, the information and knowledge is already stored in their memory bank, so it’s learning to recall that is the process most needed at this stage.
Thank you to Fiona McDevitt and Deirdre Kennedy for an excellent class on Cranio Sacral therapy. Deirdre has a particular infinity with Equine Therapy, and she is happy for me to announce that the inaugural Conference of “The Equine Facilitated Education Therapy Association” will be held on Fri & Sat 24th & 25th May at Festina Lente, in Bray for further details contact www.festinalente.ie
