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.

Gentle Healing Techniques for Therapists

“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 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
• Understanding the craniosacral system affects the growth and development of the brain and spinal cord
• How we detect the craniosacral rhythm in the body – e.g. the flexion phase and the extension phase
• What happens to the body when craniosacral flow is sluggish / interrupted
• Anatomy of the skull – it moves! – and also the spine
• Practical Techniques:
  • Palpation and sensing techniques
  • Basic balancing techniques
  • Sensing the craniosacral flow – i.e. feel it on yourself and others
  • Sensing technique exercises
  • Working on each other – i.e. how does it feel as therapists and as client
  • Hands on session – above all, experience feeling the craniosacral rhythm with an occipital hold, a foot hold and an occiput-sacrum hold
  • Simple techniques to use at the end of your session to achieve a sense of balance for client and you
  • Feeling for emotional/energy blockages in the body
  • Feeling the craniosacral flow on the feet using the spinal reflexology points

Join us for this day of practical interactive exercises and techniques and take your therapies to another level.

Gentle Healing Techniques for Therapists

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.

Course Details

This course offers you healing techniques and awareness that you can use in every day life as well as alongside massage, reflexology, indian head massage and aromatherapy.

During the day we will cover:

• Vibrational energy – understanding what it means and sensing/ feeling it
• The chakras and their meanings – emotionally, physically and mentally
• The major and minor chakras of the body
• How do we feel the chakra energy centres?
• What does a chakra imbalance mean? / how does it feel to the client and to the therapist? / why should chakras be in balance?
• Techniques for ‘opening’ and ‘closing’ chakras
• Balancing chakras with hands-off and hands-on the body techniques.
• Take a journey through the chakras
• Balancing chakras using a crystal pendulum
• Looking at colour – in relation to chakras / crystals and emotions
• Crystal layouts to support your treatment session
• Grounding, protecting and centring both yourself and the client
• Gaining first-hand experience – sensing & feeling both as therapist and as a client

Join us and experience a relaxing and blissful day in a lovely and supportive atmosphere learning how to work with the wonderful energy of a selection of beautiful crystals.

Grounding and Protection Crystal Healing Workshop

Harnessing the Power of your Intuition

Heart Centred Crystal Healing Workshop

Sound Massage for Therapists and Energy Workers

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.

• Open to anyone
• Suitable for beginners
• No previous knowledge required
• Small class guaranteed

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.

Who Can Attend?

• Open to anyone
• Suitable for beginners
• No previous knowledge required
• Crystals will be provided for use during the workshop
• Small group guaranteed.
