Reflexology & Reiki
ReflexologyReflexology is a complementary therapy, which works on the feet to help the whole person not just the prevailing symptoms. Reflexology is suitable for all ages and may bring relief from a wide range of chronic and acute conditions.
A.R.T.
(Advanced reflexology techniques by Anthony Porter)
Advanced reflexology techniques are used in conjunction with orthodox techniques, they differ a great deal from these, not only in the way they are performed, but in the contact which is deeper and more invigorating. Each client receives a unique treatment designed for their needs.
Who can Reflexology help?
Reflexology may be helpful in managing stress, relieving tension, improving circulation and increasing energy. I believe that reflexology can help the following
Asthma
Joint problems
Back pain / Sciatica
Colds / Flu
Digestive problems
Constipation / Irritable bowel syndrome
Skin problems
Hay fever / Allergies / Sinus problems
Infertility
Hormonal problems
Migraine / Headaches
An initial treatment includes a full consultation to enable treatments to be tailored to your specific requirements.The number of treatments needed to correct a condition will depend on how long the body has been functioning incorrectly. A course of treatments is recommended for specific conditions.
Sensitive, trained hands can detect tiny deposits and imbalances in the feet. Working the feet also incorporates stimulation of acupressure points situated on the feet and ankles making it a powerful treatment. Reflexology may aid the body's natural healing abilities and could help in restoring energy, leaving you feeling refreshed and relaxed.
Tensions may be eased, and circulation and elimination improved.
Colour Reflexology
A reflexology crystal torch is used during and at the end of a normal reflexology treatment.There is a view that this enables the patient to absorb the exact shade they need, and that visible rays work not only with the physical but also the mental and spiritual aspects of man, in restoring these three aspects to harmony, a person becomes whole.
The crystal torch can be used to balance the chakras (in the East, for example India) it is believed these are energy centres situated on the body and reflected on the feet.
Reiki
Reiki in Japanese means universal life force. In Japan it is believed this energy is channelled by the practitioner to the client by a gentle laying on of hands. The client then uses this energy for healing mind body and spirit.
Reiki is a safe, gentle non-intrusive hands-on healing technique that may accelerate physical healing, balance the emotions and encourage positive spiritual and physical change. Reiki may also work to build immunity in the body to prevent illness and fatigue or stress. It is a holistic system for balancing, healing and harmonizing the body’s energy channels.
Karuna Reiki
Karuna is a sanskrit word and is used in Hinduism, Buddhism and Zen. It is translated to mean any action that is taken to diminish the suffering of others and could also be translated as "compassionate action".
Karuna reiki evolved out of Usui and Tibetan reiki from a desire and a knowingness that there is always something greater to be uncovered. No matter how wonderful something is there can always be more.
