| HOPI
EAR CANDLES |
|
Quite
different from conventional wax candles, a
Hopi ear candle is actually a cotton tube,
impregnated with beeswax, honey and therapeutic
oils, that is painlessly inserted into the
ear.
Hopi ear candling aids many conditions
such as:
•
Excess wax,
•
Cold & flu symptoms,
•
Sinusitis,
•
Hay fever,
•
Rhinitis,
•
Vertigo,
•
Tinnitus,
•
Headaches, Migraine,
•
Balance problems,
•
Aids relaxation and reduces stress,
•
Excellent before & after flying.
They work by having a light suction (chimney)
effect which, together with the
movement of the flame, creates a vibration of
air in the candle, generating a massage
effect on the eardrum.
Clients are usually advised to remove makeup
and jewellery before the treatment starts. Fully
dressed the client lies down on their side,
with their head supported on a pillow so the
auditory canal is vertical. The candle is then
lit and the non-burning end is placed gently
into the outer ear passage and is turned lightly
to seal it in place.
The candle then generates a pleasant crackling
sound and a warm, comfortable feeling while
it draws out the impurities from the ear. After
around 10 minutes the process is repeated on
the other ear. This is followed by a period
of relaxation, and sometimes a facial massage
concentrating on the sinus areas.
The treatment is suitable for children and is
a good alternative for people who have found
syringing uncomfortable. |

REIKI
Reiki originated in Japan and the word 'reiki'
means 'universal life energy' in Japanese. Reiki
is based on the premise that illness is caused
by a disruption in the body’s energy field
or life force. By using specially designed symbols
and channelling energy, it is believed that
the body can be filled with positive energy
causing the disease-making negative energy to
disappear.
Reiki heals by charging negatively affected parts
of the energy field with positive energy. Energy
fields in the body each have different vibratory
levels and reiki practitioners use their hands
to affect and hopefully rebalance these vibrations
in the negatively affected part of the body.
Although the Reiki practitioner may ask questions
about the client’s health prior to treatment,
it is important to note that no diagnosis, prognosis
or advice will be offered. Remaining fully clothed,
the client prepares for treatment by relaxing
on a massage couch, or sitting if that is more
comfortable.
The practitioner may then rest their hands lightly
and gently on the body in a sequence of positions,
each one being held for a couple of minutes.
Alternatively, they may work ‘absently’,
or away from the body. Although personal experiences
differ, some people report feeling an intense
heat from the practitioner’s hands during
the process. The client does not have to think
about or do anything, as it is the practitioner’s
aim to provide a gentle, warming, vital energy
appropriate for the recipient. |
EFFECTS
OF A REIKI TREATMENT
•
Accelerates the healing process by supporting
and activating the body’s own natural
ability to heal itself
•
Eases stress and tension, promoting deep relaxation
•
Helps the body to cleanse itself of toxins &
impurities
•
Removes energy blockages, to allow energy
to flow freely and thus bring about spiritual,
emotional, mental and physical well-being
& equilibrium.
Any side effects?
As a general rule, Reiki can’t do any
harm because it is a form of non-invasive
energy healing and will adjust itself to create
the most appropriate effect for each individual
person. However, although most people feel
peaceful and relaxed after treatment, some
people also experience a healing reaction
such as a headache or flu like symptoms, but
any discomfort should be short-lived.

INDIAN
HEAD MASSAGE
Indian head massage is based on the ayurvedic
system of healing which has been practiced in
India for over a thousand years. It provides Indian
families with relaxation and healing on a daily
basis, as well as playing a part in rituals such
as weddings and births, not to mention everyday
events like a trip to the barber.
The aim of Indian head massage is to release the
stress that has accumulated in the tissues, muscles
and joints of the head, face, neck and shoulders.
The client, sits in a massage chair for the
treatment. The therapist uses a range of different
movements including application of deep kneading
and compression movements over the neck, shoulder
and scalp areas. In addition, the therapist
will also gently stimulate and stroke pressure
points on the face. The session will usually
last from twenty to forty-five minutes, and
most therapists like their clients to sit quietly
for a few minutes once the massage has been
completed.
Benefits include:
•
Reduced stress, tension, fatigue & insomnia
•
Increased energy levels
•
Relief from headaches/migraine
•
Improved concentration
•
Stimulation and improvement of the circulatory
& lymphatic system
Any side
Effects?
Following a treatment some clients experience
tiredness, dizziness, an increased desire to urinate
(as the body eliminates toxins and waste materials)
or aching muscles. All of these side effects usually
last for no more than a few hours, after which
clients generally experience increased energy.
Always make sure that you avoid alcohol for at
least five hours before the treatment.
A 40 minute Indian Head Massage treatment is £25 |
