Healing / Reiki...
A simple, natural and supportive therapy that seeks to bring balance and transformation to mind, body and emotions on a deep level by working on the main energy centres and joints of the body. The basis of the healing process is that the healer enables healing energy to flow to the client, aligning them with good health and treating any presenting problems and their root causes. A healing treatment helps to release and prevent problems - being both restorative and preventative.
Energy Healing is an ancient therapy working to clear lower vibrations and blockages by releasing ‘stuck’ areas and move energy through the meridians, energising and purifying to naturally restore healthy flow in the physical body and auric field.
When our energy or life force is harmonious, we function at our optimal level. Too often we can absorb negativity from our environment, emotionally charged events or suffer continual depletion of our reserves through chronic stress - meaning that our energy becomes polluted and levels become low.
Everything in the Universe is made of energy including our physical reality. This vibrates at different frequencies, the densest being our physical world including our physical body. Negative stress, illness and trauma cause energetic disharmony which if severe or left unchecked over time disrupts our own subtle energy body and can go on to manifest in physical illness.
Disease (or Dis-ease) is thought to stem from an imbalance in the life force / subtle energy field – sometimes simply through a lowering of our defences or natural resilience.
Through addressing specific issues and the underlying cause of symptoms, healing goes to where it is most needed, working on deeper energetic disturbances. In addition, by inducing relaxation, the sympathetic nervous system (stress responder) is calmed allowing the parasympathetic nervous system (rest facilitator) to take over, naturally balancing the autonomic nervous system. Reduced stress allows the body to recuperate / regenerate.
Healing works holistically (on our whole being – mind, body and spirit), through nourishing our energy-body, meridians and chakras. (‘Chakra’ comes from the Sanskrit word for wheel as our energy centres have been seen as spinning vortexes of energy). These correspond to various parts of our physical body including our organs and their associated functions, so positive balanced energy is a necessity to maintain good health and vitality.
The healer works as a channel for this natural energy of many names (Universal, Spiritual, God / Goddess Force, Higher Source, Creator, Super Conscious etc.) and transmits this to the person requiring healing, thereby affecting energetic change. This can be done through hands on, hands off or remotely - all through intention. Although a healer cannot diagnose or claim to ‘cure’, Healing aims to…
* clear energy blocks and release trapped energy / emotions
* restore balanced energy flow
* relieve stress and / or pain
* encourage the parasympathetic nervous system
* enable a feeling of relaxation and centredness
* help the system to trigger its own healing response
* promote peace, calm and positivity
Clients themselves have reported many effects after treatment including feeling peaceful, relaxed, less mind chatter, less pain, grounded and more centred within themselves.
Healing is gentle and non-evasive with clients remaining fully clothed. The only requirement is to settle back and enjoy some nurturing down time!
Reiki
Usui Reiki evolved in Japan from ancient teachings on the art of Spiritual Healing and utilises the Healer as a channel for Universal (Rei) Life Energy (Ki). Energy is directed to various points of the subtle and physical bodies from head to toe to move energy along the energetic pathways; restoring beneficial flow, releasing blocks, purifying and providing optimal conditions for the body to utilise its own natural healing ability.
Reiki uses spiritual wisdom to go to where needed and uses techniques to increase positive vibration in low energy areas and decrease over stimulated areas, harmonising the auric field.
Certain hand positions and the way energy is directed is unique to Reiki Healing. It also utilises specific Reiki spiritual symbols within treatments to strengthen the healing intent and further enhance the power and direction of the healing energy.
Green Ray Reiki channels the Green Ray of the Earth vibration for reparation and regeneration – particularly of the physical body. This is for people who feel particularly drawn to the natural world, the plant kingdom and elemental energies. It brings the healing properties of Earth Energy – grounding and being present in the body (less scattered) while activating the healing response.
Bio-Energy Healing / Chakra Balancing
This therapy uses a crystal pendulum to facilitate healing via the major energy centres or ‘chakras’ and the bio-magnetic sheath or ‘aura’. Chakras are found throughout the energetic and physical body ranging from above the head, along the spine to below the soles of the feet. Each is associated with different areas of physical and emotional health. Misalignment and disrupted flow often leave us with the general feeling of being ‘out of sorts’ through to greater health difficulties.
The pendulum works throughout the aura to help restore optimal, healthy natural flow - detecting issues and taking off excess energy or stimulating low energy and enabling realignment. Clients remain fully clothed, lay on a couch or sit in a chair and are invited to relax in a peaceful, safe, healing environment. Clients are also helped to release any emotions, tensions or pain as the treatment takes place - usually feeling a sense of relief, peace and increased vitality by the end of the session.
Crystal Healing
Embraces the healing properties of crystals and gemstones to restore and support the energy field and systems of the body, mind and emotions. Crystals have been used since ancient times for the healing properties they emanate. It is believed that each has a different vibration due to their crystalline structure and composition and when interacting with the physical and subtle bodies, harmonise and bring about healing in different ways - by matching vibrations or adding an energetic property. Some of the most common effects being to calm, energise, ground, protect, purify, balance or uplift depending on the crystal used.
Crystals appropriate to the presenting issue or desired outcome are placed around the client in a ‘crystal grid’ and / or on the body particularly focusing on the energy centres or ‘chakras’. They can be used for specific imbalances, ailments as well as general well-being.
It is particularly beneficial for clients to lay on a couch to allow the energy to flow unrestricted and aid deep relaxation whilst healing takes place. Used with general Healing they help focus and enhance the healing given.
