This is where Quiessence Massage can help. Our name Quiessence is a play on the Latin word ‘quiescence’ which literally means “to take time out to rest”. This is the ethos underpinning our service where everything we do is geared to help you relax mentally and physically, reduce your levels of stress and allow your body to recharge and recuperate. Hayes, J. & Flower, L. in Cognitive Processes in Writing (eds Gregg, L. & Steinberg, E.) (Erlbaum, London, UK, 1980).

You might not realize it but you’re always giving your horse subtle clues to how your feeling and while you might not think that’ll make a difference to how your horse feels it can, in reality, have a bigger impact than you realize. In the wild, horses are constantly observing each other and reading each other’s body language, this helps to alert them to impending danger but it can also help them to know how to approach a horse and what sort of mood they’re in. While your horse clearly isn’t living in the wild his instincts don’t realize that which is why you need to be calm around him, if you’re not then your horse will think that danger is just around the corner so will, understandably, be more anxious. McDermott, J. J. in Montessori: Her Life and Work (ed Standing, E. M.) (New American Library, New York, NY, 1957).Being cooped up in a stable all day long can seriously affect your horse’s stress levels which is why you should turn your horse out every day. This will not only give him a chance to stretch his legs and graze but will also allow him to re-establish his place within the herd: something else that can help to reduce anxiety in horses. Keep your horse occupied A study was conducted by six veterinaries at the Department of Veterinary Biosciences, college of veterinary Medicine at Ohio State University. The goal of the study was to ascertain the effect of magnesium uptake. The veterinaries put the magnesium intake of a typical horse at thirteen milligrams per kilogram of body weight per day. It was discovered that horses that are growing, lactating, or in work required more magnesium uptake each day. This is because a lot of magnesium is usually lost while sweating. Quiessence ® promotes a sense of relaxation and mental alertness without drowsiness. Horses that tend to express nervousness, muscular tension, inability to relax, irritability, hyper-sensitivity to touch or sounds, and poor memory retention can benefit from Quiessence ® ,as it supports both physical and mental performance. Since Magnesium plays an important role in nerve function, this product may help those tense, spooky and inattentive horses regain a normal mental state and support normal balanced behavior.

No two horses are the same and they’ll all display a different range of symptoms, that said though there are a few common signs that your horse may be suffering from anxiety. Cossentino, J.

I know I’ve already said it but no two horses are the same so there’s no ideal place to keep a horse which is why you need to match your horse’s environment with his temperament. If he’s generally quiet then stabling him in a busy area of the yard will make him feel more anxious, likewise, if your horse has a lively temperament and likes to be around people you shouldn’t keep him in a quiet area of the yard.

Magnagard pre-performance paste is another product you can get for your horse. It is perfect for giving your horse before any stressful activity like trailering or showing. The MagnaGard paste has its origins from a natural edible clay beginning. It has been used for decades by the montmorillonite family to promote better gut health for horses and other animals. Naturally, this edible clay contains many essential minerals like magnesium and calcium.

Creativity has been studied more recently in France. 32 Seven to twelve-year olds were tested longitudinally on five tasks tapping different aspects of creativity. 'Divergent' thinking tasks required children to (1) think of unusual uses for a cardboard box, (2) come up with ideas for making a plain toy elephant more entertaining, and (3) make as many drawings as possible starting from pairs of parallel lines. 'Integrative' thinking tasks required children to (1) invent a story based on a title that was provided to them, and (2) invent a drawing incorporating six particular shapes. Their sample was bigger than that of the previous study, 31 comprising 40 pupils from a Montessori school and 119 from two conventional schools, and pupils were tested in two consecutive years (no information is provided about whether pupils from different schools were matched on any variable other than age). For both types of task and at both time-points the Montessori-educated children scored higher than the conventionally-educated children. Again, the authors made little attempt to pinpoint the precise differences between schools that might have caused such differences in performance. Culture Trip launched in 2011 with a simple yet passionate mission: to inspire people to go beyond their boundaries and experience what makes a place, its people and its culture special and meaningful — and this is still in our DNA today. We are proud that, for more than a decade, millions like you have trusted our award-winning recommendations by people who deeply understand what makes certain places and communities so special. The second feature which aims to promote concentration is that these cycles of activity take place during a 3-h period of time (termed the 'external work cycle' 9). During those 3 h children are mostly free to select activities on their own and with others, and to find their own rhythm of activity, moving freely around the classroom as they do so. One might wonder what the role of the teacher is during this period. Although the children have a great deal of freedom in what they do, their freedom is not unlimited. The teacher’s role is to guide children who are finding it hard to select materials or who are disturbing others, to introduce new materials to children who are ready for a new challenge, and to conduct small-group lessons. Her decisions about what to teach are made on the basis of careful observations of the children. Although she might start the day with plans of what she will do during the work cycle, she will be led by her students and their needs, and there is no formal timetable. Hence the Montessori classroom is very different to the teacher-led conventional classroom with its highly structured day where short timeslots are devoted to each activity, the whole class is engaged in the same activities at the same time, and the teacher instructs at the front of the class. I’ve also put together a few shopping lists of essential items that I’ve found helpful over the years. I’ve broken the lists down into different categories rather than put everything in one massive list 😉Karnes, M., Shewedel, A. & Williams, M. A. in As the Twig is Bent: Lasting Effects of Preschool Programs (ed. Consortium for Longitudinal Studies) (Erlbaum, Hillsdale, NJ, 1983). Miller, L. B. & Bizzell, R. P. Long-term effects of four preschool programs: ninth- and tenth-grade results. Child. Dev. 55, 1570–1587 (1984).

Some studies report positive outcomes for certain curricular areas but not others. One, for example, investigated scores on maths, science, English and social studies tests in the final years of compulsory education, several years after children had left their Montessori classrooms. 28 Compared to the non-Montessori group (who were matched for gender, socioeconomic status, race/ethnicity and high school attended), the Montessori group scored significantly higher on maths and science, but no differences were found for English and social studies. What might explain this differential effect? The authors suggested that the advantages for maths might be driven by the materials themselves, compared to how maths is taught in conventional classes. 28 Alternatively, or perhaps in addition, children in Montessori classrooms might spend more time engaged in maths and science activities compared to children in conventional classes, with the amount of time spent on English and social studies not differing. However, the authors were unable, within the design of their study, to provide details of exactly how much time children in the Montessori school had spent doing maths, science, English and social studies, in comparison to the time that children in conventional classes were spending on those subjects. Gut Health Original Peak Performance Top pellets are as effective as the name speaks, it have been specially formulated to effect gastrointestinal change positively. This is made possible via proprietary time-released crystals, unlike another supplement which takes lots of time before it starts to work. Gut Health pellets have a pH stabilizing crystals that start to work within 25 minutes and release sodium bicarbonate for up to 4 hours post-ingestion.
