Intuition is a higher faculty of our conscious intelligence. It is a direct knowing that does not require former experience of or belief in, in order to know. Your intuition is, without doubt, your most valuable asset and your best friend. It’s your inner wisdom and guidance system.

Too much thinking blocks spontaneous intuitive responses. What we need to develop are the skills of listening to and trusting in our innate intuitive intelligence, which is simply a sense perception that allows us the ability to define right from wrong, truth and reality.

How would you like to discover a powerful and potent tool that can help you learn to live your highest truth and follow your ultimate wisdom? When you learn to distinguish intuition from mental chatter, fear and anxiety, it allows you to make conscious, managed, decision, gives you enormous advantages and makes your life easier.

Living an intuitive life can help you:

• make clear and wise decisions about your future
• eliminate fear, stress and worry
• break destructive and limiting habits
• make the wisest decisions for your health and wellbeing
• create balance between mind, body and spirit
• follow your heart to discover the missing ingredients for a better life

Once mastered intuition is a tool that will serve you for a lifetime, and will reward you with success, happiness and wellbeing at work and in your personal life.

There is nothing quite like a sound bath! The positive effects of regular meditation and quietening the mind are very well researched and documented – but many people find it difficult to switch off the mental mind chatter. Sound Baths help though who struggle to meditate by giving the mind something to do while the body relaxes.

Sound meditation uses vibrational healing methods to improve your health and well-being. The frequencies and vibrations permeate and activate every cell and fibre of your body, creating a deep sense of relaxation and calmness.

History of the Sound Bath

Though many people have only recently heard of sound baths, the use of music for healing is nothing new. From Tibetan singing bowls to Aboriginal didgeridoos, music has been used for its therapeutic effects for thousands of years. The ancient Greeks used sound vibration to aid digestion, treat mental disturbance, and induce sleep, and even Aristotle’s De Anima detailed how flute music could purify the soul.

Then, at end of the 19th century, researchers began to focus on proving the correlation between sound and healing. These studies proved that music could lower blood pressure, decrease pulse rate and assists the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for digestion and some metabolic processes.
By using particular combinations of rhythms and frequencies, it is possible to shift our normal beta state (alert, concentrating, reacting) to an alpha (creative, relaxed), and even theta (meditative state) and delta (deep sleep; where restoring and healing can occur.)

Benefits of a Sound Bath

Our sound bath meditation will offer you the space and sounds for you to relax at a profound level. This will allow your body to find its natural balance while creating space for insights and self-healing.
Using a wide variety of ancient sound healing instruments including a Gong, Tibetan bowls, Crystal Bowl, Shamanic drum, Ocean Drum, Koshi Winchimes, Tibetan Bells, Rain sticks, Tuning Forks, Healing Chimes, Tubular chimes, a variety of percussion instruments and more you will be immersed in beautiful sounds that are healing to your body, mind and soul, leaving you grounded, centred and deeply relaxed.

If you’ve never tried a sound bath before you are missing a treat. When attending a Sound Bath, you simply lie back and relax, fully clothed with a blanket over you either on a comfortable mat on the floor or sitting on a chair, letting the sounds ‘bathe’ your whole body, promoting a deep sense of well being and inner peace. As you relax and allow the sounds to whisk you away into another dimension you will be able to leave the preoccupation of daily life and instead live calmly in your own mind.

This is a time to relax, reflect, reconnect and replenish. You will enter a world of vibration, frequency, sensation and experience. The results are waves of peace, heightened awareness, and relaxation of the mind, body and spirit. Some people experience emotional healing others great insights into their lives. You will feel truly, vibrantly alive. The more fully you are able to let go and surrender to the sounds the better your experience will be.

Word of warning!…….Once you’ve had your first Sound Bath you’ll want more!

There is a centre in the body where love and spirit are joined, and that centre is your heart. It is your heart that aches or fills with love, that feels compassion and trust, and that seems empty or overflowing. Our hearts also hold onto the energy of past traumas. So, we build walls to protect it. However, we don’t want our hearts to be numb in this sort of way.

With a clean and open heart we can love everything and everyone around us more deeply. We can also receive love in a more natural and profound way – one with less fear and anxiety.

The Heart Chakra is the centre of your feelings, the blessed place where love can awaken and blossom. An unbalanced Heart Chakra can affect your emotional life. When the Heart Chakra is unbalanced, you start to feel alienated from the world around you, the people you love, and even from yourself. If the energy is low in your heart chakra, you feel lonely and depressed. Having an awakened and balanced heart chakra is incredibly important because the heart chakra is the balance point for your physical and energetic being.

Crystals can help bring peace, calm and upliftment and can aid the body to kick start into healing itself. Through resonance, and through working with specific crystals, you can effectively balance your heart chakra to heal past pain, wounds and traumas and to restore a radiant sense of love and well-being that can freely flow through all areas of your life. Meditating with Heart Chakra crystals, carrying and wearing them opens and balances the Heart Chakra.

What you can expect to experience:

• Learn about the crystal energies and how they can work with the heart
• Learn about heart centred crystals
• How to use crystals to activate your heart chakra
• Beautiful guided meditation to connect with the energies of the heart centred crystals

Who Can Attend?

This workshop is designed to help you use crystals for yourself, family, friends, clients and around your home.

Sometimes we all feel overwhelmed by energies that do not serve us:
– We can become disconnected from Mother Earth and lost in the daily grind.
– We all lead busy lives and can find ourselves in a whirlwind of speed and rush.
– We are working and living with other people and this can have the effect of making us feel tired, run-down and empty.

How can we help ourselves to keep calm and centred during these times? How can we protect ourselves from feeling drained and empty? That’s when our crystal friends can help us bring everything back into balance.

The key is known as Grounding and Protection.

• Grounding = finding the calm in the storm; clearing our body and mind of invisible clutter; balancing and centring; connection with Earth energy.
• Protection = from environmental interferences; from other people’s energy; from other people’s emotion; from taking on too much of other people’s issues.

Being grounded helps us to remain calm, cool and collected, regardless of what’s going on in the world around us. When we are grounded, we are more authentic, make better decisions, and we own our own power.

Who Needs Grounding?

EVERYONE can benefit from grounding! But especially if you are someone who is sensitive to energy, you may require it even more so. If you work in a profession where you are directly involved with a lot of other people, if you spend many hours on the computer, or if you do any type of energy work, implementing grounding routines into your everyday life could really improve your wellbeing for the better.

Come and find out how you can help yourself (and others) with the use of crystals – treasures of our Earth.

• Go-to crystals for grounding and protection
• How to use them on yourself and in your home / workplace.
• Which crystals work best in different situations.
• Experience how the crystals feel and the ones that resonate with you.

Your tutor will be Lucy Bush who has lived and worked with crystals all her life. She is a wonderful teacher who loves to share her passion and knowledge with others.

“Reiki is Love, Love is wholeness, wholeness is balance, balance is wellbeing, well being is freedom from disease.” Dr Mikao Usui

In the mid 1800’s. Dr. Mikao Usui, a Japanese born Buddhist monk rediscovered this ancient form of healing. Nowadays, this versatile, gentle therapy is becoming ever more popular.

What is Reiki?

Reiki is a powerful system of natural energy healing whereby the practitioner uses different hand positions around the head, shoulders, stomach and feet. It works on a physical, emotional and spiritual level and as a result is a truly holistic therapy. In addition, it can also help in a number of ways. Firstly, to change negative thought patterns. Secondly, to increase clarity and concentration. Finally, it can balance emotions and quieten the mind.

Reiki is one of the safest treatments and as a result you can use it even with children and pregnant women. In addition, it is non-invasive as the client remains fully clothed.

The name originates from two Japanese words – Rei which means “subtle spiritual wisdom” and Ki which is “life force energy”. (known as ‘chi’ in China and ‘prana’ in India) Eastern medicine has always recognised and worked with this energy, which flows through all living things and is vital to well-being.

What is Sound Massage? In the simplest terms, it is the sound and vibrations of singing bowls positioned with care on the clothed body. The bowls are placed on various parts of the covered body and played in varying strengths and tones and also around your client, being constantly struck throughout the treatment. The human body is made up of upto 75% water. As a result, the body becomes the perfect medium for sound waves to reach every cell.  The relaxing tones and vibrations are absorbed by the whole body resulting in total relaxation for mind, body and soul.

Never underestimate the power of sound massage. Bathing in gentle and harmonious sounds touches our innermost soul and brings it into vibration. As a result,  an atmosphere of safety and security is created, making it possible to let go, breaking tension and mobilising self healing and creative energies. The rhythmic soothing sounds saturate the body and produce a subtle vibration  and the rich overtones take you into a very deep place within yourself. The physical vibration against the body penetrates deep into the core and pain and tension melt away.

Tibetan Singing Bowls have been vital healing tools for over 4000 years in India, Nepal, Tibet and China. The primordial tones produced by the bowls naturally relaxes the mind, bringing it to meditation state while the gentle vibrations penetrate all the body tissues, releasing emotional stores and relaxing muscles in ways that touch therapies cannot.

Clients may react differently to the treatment. Some fall asleep during the treatment, some feel wide awake and some feel like they have drifted off to a new level! Following a session, the client can continue to experience the benefits of having been in the meditative state for some time.

Course Details

What we will cover:

• Introduction to Sound Healing – all forms
• Brief introduction to bowls – which ones and why
• Where to place on the body – practical with directions of play and related body tissue
• Techniques of Sound Massage
• Working with healing energy
• Chakra Healing – which tones for where
• Selection of tools – bowls and sticks for on and off the body
• Adapting your new skills to incorporate with your existing practice
• Contraindications

This beautiful treatment by sound and vibration can be a great tool to add to your existing skills for gentle but deep release in muscles, fascia, emotional blocks and their related symptoms. In addition, you can offer this as a stand-alone treatment or as part of your therapy treatment.

During Reiki/Energy Healing sessions additional sound healing is a wonderful companion.  Particularly if you use  the sound frequency with the intention of inviting therapeutic effects into the body. Furthermore, the combination of Reiki/Healing and Vibrational Sound Therapy is truly a profound experience, a sublime inner journey of deep listening, relaxation and self-healing.

The ancient Greeks used sound vibration to aid digestion, treat mental disturbance, and induce sleep, and even Aristotle’s De Anima detailed how flute music could purify the soul.

Then, at end of the 19th century, researchers began to focus on proving the correlation between sound and healing. These studies proved that music could lower blood pressure, decrease pulse rate and assists the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for digestion and some metabolic processes.
By using particular combinations of rhythms and frequencies, it is possible to shift our normal beta state (alert, concentrating, reacting) to an alpha (creative, relaxed), and even theta (meditative state) and delta (deep sleep; where restoring and healing can occur.)

Benefits of a Sound Bath

Our sound bath meditation will offer you the space and sounds for you to relax at a profound level. This will allow your body to find its natural balance while creating space for insights and self-healing.
Using a wide variety of ancient sound healing instruments including a Gong, Tibetan bowls, Crystal Bowl, Shamanic drum, Ocean Drum, Koshi Winchimes, Tibetan Bells, Rain sticks, Tuning Forks, Healing Chimes, Tubular chimes, a variety of percussion instruments and more you will be immersed in beautiful sounds that are healing to your body, mind and soul, leaving you grounded, centred and deeply relaxed.

If you’ve never tried a sound bath before you are missing a treat. When attending a Sound Bath, you simply lie back and relax, fully clothed with a blanket over you either on a comfortable mat on the floor or sitting on a chair, letting the sounds ‘bathe’ your whole body, promoting a deep sense of well being and inner peace. As you relax and allow the sounds to whisk you away into another dimension you will be able to leave the preoccupation of daily life and instead live calmly in your own mind.

This is a time to relax, reflect, reconnect and replenish. You will enter a world of vibration, frequency, sensation and experience. The results are waves of peace, heightened awareness, and relaxation of the mind, body and spirit. Some people experience emotional healing others great insights into their lives. You will feel truly, vibrantly alive. The more fully you are able to let go and surrender to the sounds the better your experience will be.

Word of warning!…….Once you’ve had your first Sound Bath you’ll want more!

What is Craniosacral Therapy

Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle, non-invasive form of treatment using extremely light touch with calm quiet presence. Craniosacral therapy is based on the idea that the body is interrelated at all levels. The Craniosacral system and its motion is subtle and the therapy involves light holding of the skull and sacrum and barely detectable movements resulting in powerful and profound effects.

Benefits of Craniosacral Therapy

Craniosacral Therapy uses a light touch to examine membranes and movement of fluids in and around the central nervous system. Relieving tension in the central nervous system promotes a feeling of well-being by eliminating pain and boosting health and immunity. It is also thought to improve efficiency of biological processes through boosting inherent self-regulation, self-correction and self-healing. The therapy can be used successfully with children and adults.

Course Details

During the workshop we will be looking at how we can integrate basic techniques into our treatments and see the body as an integrated whole. Fascia connects us from head to toe and loss of mobility in one area or a torque in a part of the body will affect the whole. By holding the head and sensing and balancing the craniosacral rhythm of the body, we can reach any part of the body, feeling for tension and imbalance in the process.

We will start by examining what is cerebrospinal fluid and how does it flow through the body? What is its function and why is it a vital part of our existence? What happens when the flow is out of rhythm or is interrupted?

You will learn how to palpate and sense from the head and from the feet and feel the flow from head-to-tail.

The techniques you will learn will enable you to achieve a balance at the end of a massage or reflexology session through therapeutic touch. Because it is so gentle and non-invasive, Craniosacral techniques are suitable for everyone from newborns to the elderly. Popular with osteopaths and chiropractors these gentle techniques are a wonderful addition to your therapeutic tool box.

Course content

We will cover the following topics:

• The history and development of craniosacral therapy and the founding people
• The physical components of the craniosacral system.
• Understanding how the craniosacral system influences the body.
• Recognising how imbalances in other body systems structure and function can influence the craniosacral system

Gentle Healing Techniques for Therapists

Most therapists have a great deal of skill in the clinical and technical aspects of their chosen therapy however many have less confidence in understanding and working with subtle energies and have a fear of going beyond the physical.

Centuries of wisdom from Eastern philosophers have taught us that just as our bodies have a physical anatomy, we also have an “energy anatomy.” Disturbances within the energy fields in our body can have a negative effect on our overall health and trigger any number of adverse physical and emotional symptoms. An energy blockage can manifest itself in many forms, ranging from chronic or acute pain to emotional disruptions.

Practitioners learn different techniques within their specific therapy but common to all is the power of touch. Touch is the core ingredient of many therapies. It works on so many levels, physical and emotional. It conveys a sense of caring, an important component in the healing relationship. By developing your skills on this workshop you will also learn to use the gift of touch to influence the human energy system, specifically the energy field that surrounds the body, and the energy centres that control the flow from the energy field to the physical body.

Such is the power of touch that emotional release during bodywork is not unusual and is actually a natural and beneficial part of the cleansing, rejuvenating process of bodywork therapies. For many therapists dealing with a client’s emotional upset can be daunting – this workshop will give you techniques to use to help your client through the process.

Our goal as therapists is to ensure the client feels safe, supported, and honoured, and where emotional expression is viewed as normal and acceptable. We must know how to create a safe space and environment – wherever we are – whether it be a quiet dedicated treatment room, a client’s house, a busy exhibition, a busy workplace, a charity event or an outdoor event. We need to understand the effect that built up emotion can have on the body and learn to recognise and work with feelings and sensations that occur during treatments.

Experienced therapists also understand the importance of preparation before they work with clients, the need for self-protection at critical moments during a treatment, and how and when to detoxify after a particularly stressful session. It is vital to utilise techniques to help keep clients’ energies from entering our own energy systems as we work.

Developing all these skills allows us to grow as therapists, offer richer and more effective treatments and work with greater integrity.

Understanding the power of Chakras and Crystals is key. Everything in our universe is emitting energy, from the tallest mountain to the smallest crystal, to each individual cell in our body. Within the body all of our cells radiate energy in one form or another. Different cells will emit different kinds of energy depending on their location and their function.

What are chakras?

There are several different channels located on key points of the body through which energy can flow in and out in a constant stream. These channels (chakras) regulate all parts of our body systems. They influence everything from emotional processing to resistance to disease. The concept of chakras has been studied and demonstrated time and again in the Ayurvedic and yogic traditions, as well as through the Chinese concepts of qi and meridians. Chakras are the focal points of our life force and their individual states are vital to our holistic well-being. When the chakras are balanced the positive flow of energy encourages peace of mind, clear thinking, over all vitality and physical wellness. As we open and heal our chakras, energy is able to flow freely once again and things return to normal.

Working with Chakras and Crystals

Laying crystals on the body for healing purposes has been practiced across numerous cultures for thousands of years. Each type of crystal has its own wonderful unique natural energy of its own that can be used in order to heal and bring balance and peace to people, animals and the environment we live in. Our crystal helpers can assist in balancing and harmonizing the human energy body.

Sound Massage for Therapists and Energy Workers

There is nothing quite like a sound bath! The positive effects of regular meditation and quietening the mind are very well researched and documented – but many people find it difficult to switch off the mental mind chatter. Sound Baths help though who struggle to meditate by giving the mind something to do while the body relaxes.

Sound meditation uses vibrational healing methods to improve your health and well-being. The frequencies and vibrations permeate and activate every cell and fibre of your body, creating a deep sense of relaxation and calmness.

History of the Sound Bath

Though many people have only recently heard of sound baths, the use of music for healing is nothing new. From Tibetan singing bowls to Aboriginal didgeridoos, music has been used for its therapeutic effects for thousands of years.

Then, at end of the 19th century, researchers began to focus on proving the correlation between sound and healing. These studies proved that music could lower blood pressure, decrease pulse rate and assists the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for digestion and some metabolic processes.
By using particular combinations of rhythms and frequencies, it is possible to shift our normal beta state (alert, concentrating, reacting) to an alpha (creative, relaxed), and even theta (meditative state) and delta (deep sleep; where restoring and healing can occur.)
