Reflexology is a therapy which involves using the thumb and fingers to apply pressure to the feet and/ or hands. There are points on the hands and feet that relate to organs, glands and systems of the body. These points are known as reflex points, a reflex is when stimulation at one point brings a response in another area.

Reflexology is a holistic treatment technique which means the individuals mind, body and spirit are taken into account when the treatment is given. Reflexologists treat the whole body, they do not generally work on one specific organ or system. They treat the symptoms and also aim to treat the cause. They aim to restore balance and harmony to the whole body. So therefore the feet can be seen as a MAP of the body.

These ancient forms of massage were based on the principle that energy Zones run throughout the body. The principle, which became Zone therapy, was further developed in the early 19th centurywith the discovery that applying pressure in various places along the 10 vertical Zones the length of the body could ease underlying problems. These ideas were expanded when Therapists found that working with the feet was most effective, as theywere the most sensitive and responsive areas, with thousands of nerve endings. Reflexology was introduced to the UK in the early 1960″s and its popularity continues to grow.

Massage has been practised throughout the centuries since the earliest civilisations. It has been used medically as a therapeutic healing treatment and also for invigorating, soothing and beautifying the body. Massage or rubbing is an instinctive art of relieving pain and discomfort, and for soothing and calming.

 The pratice of massage spread from the east to europe around 500 BC. Modern massage techniques have evolved mainly from a system developed by  a swedish physiologist called ” Per Henrik Ling ( 1776-1839 ). He developed a system of passive and active exercises known as “ swedish remedial gymnastics ” and also a system of massage movements. Ling used the terms ” effleurage, petrissage, vibration, friction, rolling and slapping “. Most of these terms and techniques are used today in the westernised treatment SWEDISH MASSAGE.

Thai Foot Massage is a treatment of the hands, legs and feet that involves physically stretching and massaging to ” open ” Sen ( energy ) Lines, along with stimulation of the reflex points on the hands and feet which correspond to the internal organs of the body to promote general health and well-being.

The theory behind this massage lies in the belief that there are 10 major energy lines which run throughout the body from the top of the head down to the soles of the feet, where they end as pressure points. It is these that provide a map of the whole body and the organs. By stimulating these we are able to encourage the mind and body to restore its own natural healthy balance therefore keeping the whole body harmonised.

The ultimate goal for this traditional massage is to reach a state of Enlightenment. However this massage is completely Holistic as it exists to heal a person mentally, spiritually and emotionally

Hopi Ear Candling is a natural and relaxing therapy used traditionally by the Hopi  Indians. The meaning of the word Hopi is ” Peaceful People “. The healing properties of the candles are said to of been known for hundreds of years to the Hopi tribe and this ancient and natural therapy has been handed down by many civilisations. It is also believed that the Ancient Greeks used ear candles, initially for cleansing, purifying and healing on a spiritual basis, but then much later on a physical basis.

Ear candles were used traditionally by Sharman healers and ancient wall paintings discovered show their importance in initiation rituals and healing ceremonies of the tribe. The Hopi, the oldest peublo people, who possess great medical knowledge and spirituality, brought this knowledge to Europe. The candles are still made today on the basis of the old tradional formula originating from the Hopi Indians.

The candles which are cylindrical with hollow centres are made from natural ingredients- usually 100% beeswax and sometimes with the addition of natural herbs and essential oils. The treatment lasts for aproximately 45 minutes and it has a calming and relaxing effect on the whole body. Clients sometimes fall asleep.

The candle is placed over the ear orifice and ignited. It is alloed to burn to within 4 inches of the end of the candle. The candle works on a ” chimney ” principle, drawing up impurities from within the ear. As it burns it produces a gentle local heat. The warm air combined with the oil and the herbs soften the wax and draws it into the base of the candle. The rising air also has the effect of giving the ear drum a gentle but pleasant massage, which inturn, helps to regulate pressure.

The candle is then removed and the ear and surrounding area is then gently massaged. The treatment is then repeated on the other ear and then a complete facial massage is carried out, paying particular attention to the sinus area.

The word Reiki means Universal Life force Energy. It is defined as being that power which acts and lives in all created matter. The word consists of two parts. The syllable REI descibes the Universal boundless aspect of the energy while the KI being the the Vital force energy which flows through all living beings. It is one of the highest forms of energy in existence. Everyone is born with Reiki, for it is the energy of life itself.

Throughout the history of mankind, healing methods have always existed that were based on the transfer of Universal, all prevading life energy – the same energy which brings forth all life in the universe and nourishes it.  Thousands of years ago, the Tibetans already possessed a deep meaningful understanding ot the nature of SPIRIT, ENERGY  and Matter and used this knowledge to heal their bodies, harmonise their souls and lead their spirit to an experience of Unity.

Reiki was re-discovered  by MIKOAOMI USI in the latter part of the 19th century. He was born on the 15th august 1864 in the village of Yago, Southern Japan. He passed on march 9th 1926. Dr Usui had once run a small business that had failed. It left him not only in debt, but also with a desire to seek something other than material gain. He meditated regulary standing under a waterfall on Mount Kurama, a Holy Mountain upon which a temple is built. One Day whilst standing under the waterfall he had a mystical experience, and was given the Reiki attunement, and the symbols that went with it. It was Dr Usui who named the system of healing REIKI. Its origional Tibetan name was The Medicine Buddha. Dr Usui was not a Doctor in the conventional sense of the word and made it his lifes work to heal peoples body and mind. In those days in Japan his students called him Usui Sensei, which means Teacher.

The origional movement is called Usui Shiki Ryoho, which means The Usui Method of Healing. This is still practiced to this present day.

The body is more than just a collection of functioning parts. Since everything generates a frequency, the body and its organs have their own energy fields which are continually changing. All conditions of disease are rooted in our energy system. If our ” Life Force ” is blocked or low, we are more likely to become ill. But if it is high and flowing freely, we can maintain our health and well being.

Reiki Healing Energy provides means to balance the human energy fields ( Auras ) and energy centres ( Chakras ) to create conditions needed for the bodies healing system to function. The Reiki Practitioner assists the client to heal themselves Spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically by a simple laying of the hands in a series of positions. The Treatment takes place on a comfortable padded couch in a warm, relaxing and inviting atmosphere. The client is fully clothed and treatments can take anything from 45 minutes to 90 minutes. This all depends on the clients needs. The Practioner channels the Universal Life Force Energy allowing it to Flow to where it is needed to bring the energy centres into alignment.
