Heal Your Mind, Body & Soul

Reiki Energy Therapy is a holistic, light touch Japanese stress reduction, relaxation and healing technique that treats the whole person – mind, body, and soul. Negative thoughts, emotions or experiences can get stuck in our body, potentially causing emotional or mental distress which may manifest in the physical as disease. Reiki benefits the physiological and emotional well-being of a person by reducing stress, fear, anxiety, and depression. Reiki clears energetic blockages in the chakras (energy centres) of our body. It stimulates the parasympathetic nerves in the autonomic nervous system helping the body to relax and activating the body’s own natural healing processes.

How’s Your Sleep Posture?

You spend nearly 1/3 of our lifetime sleeping, making your sleep posture extremely important to your daily wellbeing. Ideally, your head should remain in a neutral position. When side sleeping, pay attention to if the pillow is too thick or thin for you. Check if the neck becomes side flexed when laying on your side. Ideally the spine should be in neutral or straight. “Head forward posture” which is a jutting forward of the chin, is becoming more prominent with increased cell phone usage. Add to that a back sleeper with more than one pillow, the neck muscles are in a constant state of contraction trying to return to their normal length. Being pro-active could save you from a real “pain in the neck” later.

Bioenergetics & Women’s Health

Every year at this time women are reminded to focus on their health, but in reality, women should be taking charge of their own physical and mental well-being every day. A good first step is to find out how well your body is functioning so you can target any areas that need assistance. One of the best ways to accomplish this is through Bioenergetics. This non-invasive computerized analysis determines underlying imbalances in organs and tissues that could contribute to unwanted health conditions. If an imbalance is found Bioenergetics can then help to stimulate correction of the affected organ or tissues to help your body function at its best.
