Aromatherapy
means "treatment using scents". It is a holistic treatment of caring
for the body with pleasant smelling botanical oils such as rose, lemon,
lavender and peppermint. The essential oils are added to the bath or
massaged into the skin, inhaled directly or diffused to scent an entire
room. Aromatherapy is used for the relief of pain, care for the skin,
alleviate tension and fatigue and invigorate the entire body. Essential
oils can affect the mood, alleviate fatigue, reduce anxiety and promote
relaxation. When inhaled, they work on the brain and nervous system
through stimulation of the olfactory nerves.
The
essential oils are aromatic essences extracted from plants, flowers,
trees, fruits, bark, grasses and seeds with distinctive therapeutic,
psychological, and physiological properties, which improve and prevent
illness. There are about 150 essential oils. Most of these oils have
antiseptic properties; some are antiviral, anti-inflammatory,
pain-relieving, antidepressant and expectorant. Other properties of the
essential oils which are taken advantage of in aromatherapy are their
stimulation, relaxation, digestion improvement, and diuretic
properties.
EFT
EFT is based on a new discovery
that has provided thousands with relief from pain, diseases and
emotional issues. Simply stated, it is an emotional version of
acupuncture except needles aren't necessary. Instead, you stimulate
well established energy meridian points on your body by tapping on them
with your fingertips. The process is easy to memorize and is portable
so you can do it anywhere. It launches off the EFT Discovery Statement
which says...
"The cause of all
negative emotions is a disruption in the body's energy system."
And because our physical pains
and diseases are so obviously connected with our emotions the following
statement has also proven to be true...
"Our unresolved
negative emotions are major contributors to most physical pains and
diseases."
This common sense approach
draws its power from (1) time-honored Eastern
discoveries that have been around for over 5,000 years
and (2) Albert Einstein, who told us back
in the 1920's that everything (including our bodies) is composed of
energy. These ideas have been largely ignored by Western Healing
Practices and that is why EFT often works where nothing
else will.
Hot
Stones Massage
Hot stone massage is a
specialty massage that uses smooth, heated stones. They are often
basalt, a black volcanic rock that absorbs and retains heat well.
It is a deeply soothing,
relaxing form of massage. The heat helps tight muscles release.
Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy is a brief strategic therapy - one
that is aimed specifically at finding a resolution to your problem as
quickly, safely and efficiently as possible. It is not a long drawn out
method of solving a problem. A skilled hypnotherapist will have the
ability during a case study to ascertain whether you need to regress
back to find the root of the problem, or whether it is more applicable
to use future progression techniques to change tomorrow.
Hypnotherapy utilises hypnosis, a state of
altered consciousness in which the therapist can help you to access the
deeper levels of awareness, to which you are usually oblivious in your
normal day-to-day functioning. More often than not, what you are
experiencing as a problem, whether emotional, psychological or
psychosomatic (i.e. actually producing physical symptoms) is only a
surface EFFECT of a deeper underlying mental/emotional CAUSE. It is at
these deeper levels of consciousness that we as hypnotherapists work
with you, to bring about change in the way you feel, think and behave.
A skilled hypnotherapist will always work with your co-operation and in
the most caring and nurturing manner.
If left untreated, problems can sometimes
create a ripple effect into other areas of your life, and what many
people find is, on completion of effective hypnotherapy, other problems
seem to melt away.
Indian
Head Massage
Indian Head Massage is a treatment based on old
Ayurvedic techniques involving work on the upper back, shoulders, neck,
scalp and face. A variety of massage movements are used to relieve
accumulated tension, stimulate circulation and restore joint movement.
IHM is also used to aid the condition and health of the hair,
particularly when combined with the use of natural organic oils.
Indian
Head Massage is used by practitioners to help reduce stress and
fatigue, increase mental clarity, and relax and rejuvenate the
receiver. A treatment will last between 20 minutes to one hour.
NLP
NLP
stands for Neuro-Linguistic Programming, a name
that encompasses the three most influential components involved in
producing human experience: neurology, language and programming. The
neurological system regulates how our bodies function, language
determines how we interface and communicate with other people and our
programming determines the kinds of models of the world we create.
Neuro-Linguistic Programming describes the fundamental dynamics between
mind (neuro) and language (linguistic) and how their interplay effects
our body and behavior (programming).
NLP is a
pragmatic school of thought - an 'epistemology' - that
addresses the many levels involved in being human. NLP is a
multi-dimensional process that involves the development of behavioral
competence and flexibility, but also involves strategic thinking and an
understanding of the mental and cognitive processes behind behavior.
NLP provides tools and skills for the development of states of
individual excellence, but it also establishes a system of empowering
beliefs and presuppositions about what human beings are, what
communication is and what the process of change is all about. At
another level, NLP is about self-discovery, exploring identity and
mission. It also provides a framework for understanding and relating to
the 'spiritual' part of human experience that reaches beyond us as
individuals to our family, community and global systems. NLP is not
only about competence and excellence, it is about wisdom and vision.

Past
Life Regression
There
are many myths and misconceptions about what Past Life Regression
actually is and what happens. The one thing you can be
assured of is that anyone can be regressed. Regardless of
your personal faith or belief regression can work for you through
gentle and relaxing hypnosis unlocking doors in your mind to understand
how past lives can be influencing who you are now.
Have
you ever coined the phrase "I am sure I am paying for something in a
past life" when things are not going quite right for you, or perhaps
you have met a stranger and felt that you knew them, maybe you have
visited a place and had that feeling of deja vu?
Often
people and places are important in our lives in helping in our
progression and experiences we are here to gain. Sometimes we bring
traumatic experiences into this life from a past life, resulting in
irrational fears, phobias or behaviour. Under regression these issues
can be dealt with so that they can no longer have any effect.
It is documented that we have can experience many lifetimes and there
are certainly plenty of books available on the subject.

Reiki
Reiki (pronounced Ray-key) is a Japanese word
meaning Universal Life Energy, an energy which is all around us.
Reiki is
the name given to a system of natural healing which evolved in Japan
from the experience and dedication of Dr Mikao Usui (d. 1926). Fired by
a burning question, Dr Usui was inspired to develop this healing system
from ancient teachings after many years of study, research and
meditation. He spent the rest of his life practising and teaching
Reiki. Today Reiki continues to be taught by Reiki Masters who have
trained in the tradition passed down from Master to student.
There is no belief system attached to Reiki so
anyone can receive or learn to give a Reiki treatment, the only
prerequisite is the desire to be healed.
Sports
Massage Therapy
Sports Massage is a specific type of
massage which is generally rendered before, during, and after athletic
events to help prepare the athlete for desired performance, to relax
the nerves and prevent injuries.
Sports Massage works deep to eliminate
toxins embedded in muscle fibers, remove adhesions, and minimize scar
tissue buildup. Muscle lengthening in sports massage helps restore a
range of motion and overall flexibility. Sports massage also leads to
improved circulation which aids better cell nutrition, greater
elasticity of muscle fiber, and reduced recovery time.
Sports massage is a blend of Swedish
massage and shiatsu specifically designed to cater to the
needs of professional athletes. Depending on the needs of the athlete,
a variety of techniques are used including classic Swedish strokes,
cross-fiber friction, pressure-point work, and joint mobilization.
Swedish
Massage
Swedish massage was developed by Per
Henrik Ling in Sweden in the 1820s. He combined ancient Chinese,
Egyptian, Greek and Roman techniques with modern physiology.
The main purpose of Swedish massage is to increase the flow of oxygen
in the blood and release toxins from the muscles. Swedish massage
shortens recovery time from muscular strain by flushing the tissues of
lactic acid and other metabolic wastes. It increases circulation
without increasing heart load, and stretches the tendons keeping them
supple and pliable.
Swedish massage stimulates the skin and nervous system, soothing the
nerves and reducing stress on both an emotional and physical level. It
is suggested in a regular program for stress management.
Swedish massage feels wonderful to receive as well as relaxing and
invigorating. It affects nerves, muscles, glands, and the circulation
while at the same time promoting ones well-being.
