RELAXATION THERAPY Relaxation Therapy helps you determine where stress and tension physically affects you and equips you with the skills and techniques to eliminate the occurrence of tension. Upon successful mastering of the techniques you will experience a state of deep or ‘theta’ relaxation where you are conscious of your body being physically relaxed, whilst your mind remains aware but chooses not to respond to distractions. This state is a natural one we go through prior to falling asleep however we cannot usually choose to achieve it. Even a short while in this state can be very rejuvenating. You remain fully clothed throughout the treatment and will lie on a couch. Once you have been assessed the therapist will guide you through specific breathing, muscular relaxation, visualisation and other techniques that assist you to get back in control of your body’s natural reactions. Some of these techniques require practice to realise maximum benefit. The main objective though of the session is for you to experience deep relaxation. CRYSTAL THERAPY Crystal Therapy is a non-invasive form of treatment that has been used for thousands of years. Traditionally it was seen as a very ‘spiritual’ healing method, however as understanding has grown, a more scientific viewpoint shows us how the crystalline structure and chemical compound of certain minerals can influence the physical and spiritual bodies. So whilst respectfully saluting the spiritual origins of the past, a more modern and holistic approach is adopted. Holistic Crystal Therapy focuses on the main chakras of your body, your aura and the meridien points similar to those used in acupuncture, but not in an invasive way. Only those crystals believed to have therapeutic abilities are used and they are successful in therapy as they 'vibrate' at a level that is complementary to those vibrations of the human body. Some say they act like a tuning fork does for an orchestra - the body's DNA gets slightly out of tune and is guided back into wellbeing. REIKI Reiki is commonly taken to mean universal (rei) life-force energy (ki). This energy is concentrated in hundreds of points all over the body - the same points that are often used in Acupuncture. It is said that 80% of the world's population is treated using this energy, it is only in Western medicine that we have no expression for it. A Reiki practitioner must go through a series of attunements to be able to administer a treatment. Reiki is a powerful, yet gentle tool for relaxation and will usually require a series of treatments to be effective. Your body needs to achieve a relaxed state so that it's natural restorative processes can commence. You will remain fully clothed throughout whilst the therapist simply places is hands directly on, or holds them just above, the energy points on your body. Reiki finds it's own path and will direct the energy to where it is most needed. To do this, the therapist will keep his hands at one position for a few minutes before moving onto the next. You will usually feel no more than heat radiating at these points and an enhanced sense of wellbeing. * Please note your Therapist will usually fuse techniques from all of the disciplines practiced to achieve the maximum relaxation from your session. If you would prefer to experience just a particular treatment please advise your Therapist during the initial consultation. price list or book a treatment AFTER-CARE PROCEDURES |
