‘Stress response’­ a cranio­sacral perspective The ‘stress response’ is a primal aspect of our nervous system and like all biological systems, our bodies will tense and contract to defend itself, !"#$%&' ()*' +)#,%' !#$$' -./(0.' %&1&#/' and congested, where the natural +(!'#%'$(%&2' These protective forces are essential 5"&' "#&' 7&*)($' 8.09-' "&' 3*09-:' &%+7"1+%+6' but if they are not processed and resolved within the immediacy of the stressful experience, then this biological process may be retained in our body. Furthermore, if we are overwhelmed or traumatised by the event and experience intense emotions, such as fear or anger, then it is likely that these patterns will become ‘frozen’ and locked into the system, as deeply engrained, protective patterning.

Future stress may be met by similar reactions, resulting in ‘cycling’ of the stress

response and related emotions, with neurological imbalances that have repercussions in our every day life. A ‘bad day’ or stress at work might reactivate an existing pattern of related stress responses and lead to a myriad of common stress related issues, such as chronic muscular tension, pain and illnesses, migraine/headaches, sleep disorders, anxiety or worry etc.

Ever thought about what you want at your own funeral?

At some stage in our life we all think about what we want to happen when we die. Some of us want to be buried, some of us prefer cremation. One thing many of us have in common is that we haven’t told anybody about our preferences.

It may not be necessary to create a detailed step­ by­ step plan of what you want, but covering some of the big things like where you would like your funeral, where you would like to be buried or whether you would prefer to be cremated can be a big help. “It can be hugely comforting to your family to know they are '(/*//-+;& 7#(3& )-$"%$& 30!"%3& !"0+& ;(%$$-+;<& Matthew Sadlier of Seddon Park Funeral Matthew explains.

Raglan Golf Club update Thank goodness for some decent weather lately as we say goodbye to another summer, one which was disappointing for so long but ended well. During the 4 months of December to March the Club income was consistently well above last year when we manned the Club­house with volunteers, showing the need to have a Manager on site for collection of green fees, to sell golf accessories, organise memberships, and supply the after­golf necessities Mitch has worked well on our behalf to achieve this excellent result.

We have hosted weddings and family functions recently and will hopefully attract even more of these events.

All of these projects have been made possible by good income from green fees and course / Club­house usage.

Boaties urged to light up to be safe on the water Waikato Regional Council is reminding boaties using the region’s waterways that failure to display the right lights at night endangers their lives and those of other water users.

The warning comes with the arrival of winter, bringing with it shorter daylight hours and the increased likelihood of fog.

There were a series of near misses on the region’s waterways at night last winter and this has resulted in increased ad campaigns to educate water users.

“If you’re out at night, you must show a light. Failure to do so risks the

lives of those on board, as well as people on other vessels,” said navigation safety programme manager Nicole Botherway.

“Lights must be switched on from sunset to sunrise and during times of poor visibility, such as in rain or fog.”

Mrs Botherway said the rules applied to all of the region’s waterways, including rivers and lakes.

It’s illegal to use a vessel at night without the correct lights shining and skippers risk being issued an instant $200 *+%&'#3&'0-/-+;&!#&0,"%3%&!#&!"%&3(/%$5

New Zealand’s distance from other lands makes an attempt at mass illegal entry a hazardous business. Recent new rules have seen us join the detention regimes though there has only been one attempt at such illegal immigration, by a Chinese group in a yacht. They were persuaded to stay in Australia.

Nikau Cave & Café awaited alluringly in the distance, three to four hours on, the promise of a cold beer and chips on the horizon.

Meanwhile hubby and I pedalled our hardest, fearing falling too far behind the six ‘real’ cyclists from Raglan Mountain Bike Club who we’d joined on their weekend outing. The Te Akau !"#$%&'"#(&)#$&(*+",(&"-&%'#-.!/&%0*&+,*)$&"-&1,2*$%"3*&!"43%'5& with snatches of azure ocean often awesome, the hills just plain formidable.

I lagged on the climbs, breathed sighs of relief on the fast downhill sections – but didn’t get too cocky for fear of sliding out and making a spectacle of myself. Parts of the road were teeth­judderingly bumpy.

But after three long hours our weariness turned to elation when we came to a sign directing us to the Nikau Cave & Café just 1.4 kilometres ahead. Our oasis in the desert lay just a few twists in the road away. If someone had played an April Fools joke and changed the sign to read 10.4kms I think I would’ve died!

Not many Raglanites seem to know about Nikau Cave & Café, a true gem in the middle of nowhere.

The all­natural kilometre­long cave’s been there, less than an hour’s drive from Raglan, damn near forever of course – silently growing its impressive display of stalactites and stalagmites at the rate of one centimetre per 100 years. But it was opened up to the public only 16 years ago when owners Philip and Anne Woodward decided to diversify their 580­acre sheep and cattle farm.

6-%*'& 3*#'15& %)"& (*!#(*$& 7',38,38& 49& %0*,'& .+*& !0,1('*3/& working the land and facing “too many farming crises”, says Anne, desperation forced them to share their best­kept secret with the world and market the cathedral­like cave that Philip had known like the back of his hand since he was a teenager.

A well deserved rest in Nikau’s cafe is a must.

But more was needed to grow the business, adds Anne. So four years ago the enterprising family went all out and opened a café with accommodation on the side. They were turned down by three banks before the Southland Building Society came to the party. The couple’s ambitious business plan became a reality within a year and now there’s no looking back.

NIkau Café sits solid and rustic amid spectacular limestone outcrops, like pancakes, reminiscent of a Peter Jackson movie set. In fact not far north, up Port Waikato way, is Weathertop Hollow from ‘Lord of the Rings’.

And for weary cyclists, an afternoon spell in the sun on the café’s expansive deck was true idyll.

We gazed appreciatively at the stunning surrounds bordered on three sides by a river and took in the lower decking – with its built­in barbecue and paella pit – running on to a large lawn where concerts are staged.

We marvelled from inside the café at the huge picture window in three panels which all but brings the outside in, inspiring a kind of reverence, and at the beautifully crafted macrocarpa slab tables milled from an elderly neighbour’s property.

The café took on more of an intimate lodge­like atmosphere that night with the woodburner warming us to the soul as we enjoyed Anne’s hospitality and excellent cooking.

The others were booked in to the on­site accommodation but we’d taken a separate cabin across the road so we could sample the full touristy thing. It would be nice to be able to say Riding 40 kilometres of tough gravel coastal roads to Waikaretu. then that we’d headed up to our

Philip and family take up to four cave tours a day during summer, about four a week the rest of the year. The cave – which has a stream running through it – not only gives Waitomo a run for its money but is arguably one of the best in the world for its limestone formations, accessibility and all­natural state.

There’s not so much as a handrail to hold onto as we journey through the underworld. In fact, for 10 metres after niftily squeezing between two rocks, we’re crawling in water on our 0#3($&#3(&:3**$&#1"38&%0*&!#+*&?""';& This is the real McCoy. The whole experience is exhilarating, as much for its informality as its beauty. And it’s virtually right on Raglan’s back doorstep.

Not many Raglanites seem to know about Nikau Cave & Cafe, a true gem in the middle of nowhere.

We biked back the next day, the 40 kilometres this time proving less exhausting than we’d expected. Somehow the hills seemed less daunting on the return trip. Jubilantly we arrived back at Te Akau Wharf to be ferried across to the jetty downtown in Raglan courtesy of local skipper Ian Hardy and his familiar blue­canopied boat. He’d also crossed us and our bikes over in two trips the day before.

For the less energetic, the charms of Nikau Cave & Café can be enjoyed by driving to Waikaretu, taking the road to Waingaro but then turning left at the T­junction just before the hot pools.

The Nikau Cave & Café website has three sets of clear directions, so you can’t go wrong whether you’re coming from Raglan, Hamilton or Auckland.

The whole venture can be caught on TV One’s ‘Country Calendar’ in a fortnight when the farm – now run by Anne and Philip’s daughter Emily Welch, a champion shearer – is in the spotlight for its very successful sheep stud. !% <56&'% =,2$-% &#(>$00$5% &"% ?(68(#$&9% -$@")5A@0(--% ")% '$#% "B)% 2"9)&(6)768$C% 79&% (@@"22"5(&6")% ()5% 2$(0-% 1"#%&B"%B$#$%3(65%1"#%7,%D68(9%E(>$%F%E(1G;%%%H$"30$% 6)&$#$-&$5% 6)% 2(86):% &'$% &#63% -'"905% @")&(@&% I68$% J% I(,K-% L6#8% L$% M9,--@'$#% B'"% @()% (##():$% 3(@8(:$-% 6)@"#3"#(&6):%&'$%&B"AB(,%7"(&%&#63%(@#"--%&'$%'(#7"9#C% 2"9)&(6)768$% '6#$% ()5% (@@"22"5(&6")% (&% D68(9% E(>$% F%E(1$;%% Edith Symes
