Quartz Crystal Bowls  

Everything in the universe is in a state of vibration, and each object or person has a resonant frequency that is their optimal vibration. The chakras, bones and organs in the body all possess a different resonant frequency. When an organ or another part of the body is vibrating out of tune or non-harmoniously, it is called "dis-ease". A body is in a healthy state of being when each cell and each organ create a resonance that is in harmony with the whole being. Vibration therapy is based on the idea that all imbalances are characterized by blockage in the channels on some level in the body. Using sound and light, one can provide the atmosphere that is helpful in addressing these issues, in our light or etheric body.

The sounds of the crystal bowls help balance the chakras in two ways. At the same time that the disharmonious conditions are working towards balance, a sacred space is created for strengthening of the person's Higher Self connection or their personal belief system. When assisting, unbalanced energy is often released, and it is always wise to fill the void created with the highest aspect of Source that the person is willing to embrace. The sound waves from the crystal bowls emit a pure holographic template of radiant sound. The pure tones of crystal bowls produce a vibration- sound field which resonate the light body energy centers (chakras) and corresponding physical areas. There are seven musical notes that correspond to the seven colors of the rainbow. These are related to the seven main chakras, which in turn correspond to different areas of the endocrine gland system. A series of pure crystal tone sessions facilitates the rebalancing of each receiver (chakra) back into an elevated level of etheric radiance. The effects are enhanced because the bowls are made of quartz. Silicon crystal acts as an oscillator, magnifying and transmitting pure tone. This is why pure quartz crystal is used in all the most advanced telecommunications systems. Like a powerful radio transmitter, the crystal bowls transmit energy into the atmosphere, filling a person's aura with vibration- radiance which translates into the seven main colours of the rainbow. It is a common experience when listening to crystal bowls that one can travel into a meditative state of consciousness, if they so desire. As different parts of the brain can be stimulated in general with sound, it is probable that different hormones and neuron-chemicals are released in a natural way that can assist with relaxation and foster creativity.

Quartz crystal music holds the vibration of white light, which ultimately refracts into the rainbow and acts directly on our chakras when played. It has the potential to bring about a positive shift in our consciousness, and as our awareness expands, we grow close to our original selves and start to reflect the highest radiance in our physical form.    Therapist Laura Carroll

Reiki:  

A Reiki treatment usually lasts sixty minutes. The Reiki practitioner places his/her hands gently and passively on different locations on the body, usually beginning at the head. Each position is held for at least five minutes. Reiki is different from traditional massage because the person remains clothed. Unlike massage, Reiki does not require any form of manipulation of tissue or muscle so the hands remain still. Reiki will even flow through a plaster cast. It is common for the person being treated to experience sensations such as warmth or tingling flowing from the Reiki practitioner's hands. Most people report entering a very deep state of relaxation. Those familiar with meditation say they enter a deep meditative state. The mind calms, the breathing slows down, and a feeling of well-being and centeredness and a better sense of perspective is attained. By receiving a one-hour session of Reiki, one physiologically attains many of the benefits equivalent to three to four hours sleep, such as increased oxygen supply to the blood and cells. This clinical observation, combined with the meditative state, makes Reiki a most effective natural stress reliever. Regular use of Reiki leads to an increase in general vitality and well-being and a sense of inner peace. It greatly accelerates and promotes the healing process and regeneration of tissue, and is capable of improving the quality of one's life to an amazing degree.

Reflexology: A natural healing art based on the principle that there are reflexes on the hands and feet which correspond to every part, gland and organ of the body. Through the application of pressure on these reflexes, Reflexology can relieve tension, improve circulation and help normalize functions of the related areas of the body. It is believed that Reflexology was practiced two to four thousand years ago in India, China and Egypt and appeared in North America about 75 years ago. Therapist Laura Carroll

Hypnotherapy: An ancient art of communicating with the Unconscious Mind. The Hypnotherapist assists the individual to enter into a dream-like state. For centuries, human kind has been using altered states of consciousness to assist in bringing healing and balance to the Body, Mind & Spirit. It is in this experience that the Unconscious Mind releases limiting beliefs, habits and emotions. Hypnotherapy is a highly effective way to create deep long term change. This is a very empowering process, and since all learning, all behavior and all change is unconscious, and the mind & body affect each other, hypnotherapy has been very successful with a wide variety of health and emotional issues. Some benefits of hypnotherapy include increased motivation, a healthier flow of energy, greater confidence and self-esteem, smoking cessation, weight loss, habit control, as well as the resolution of deep psychological issues among others.
