Facial Gua-Sha
Gua-Sha is based on the principles of Chinese medicine where ailments are associated with the stagnation of the blood and the blockage of Qi (Vital Life Energy) in the body.
It involves scraping and stroking the surface of the skin using a shaped tool and utilising various techniques which as a surface therapy exfoliates the skin and accelerates skin renewal. It is also believed to be greatly beneficial in other ways. It is said to have anti-aging and skin refreshing effects.
Gua-Sha mobilises the lymphatic system and improves the drainage of toxins and waste products from the tissues and can therefore help reduce puffiness and inflammation thereby enhancing the contours of the face.
It increases blood circulation bringing oxygen and nutrients to the surface of the skin bringing a radiant glow to the skin. It also improves the skin's elasticity.
Gua-Sha is deeply relaxing and can help restore a sense of calmness and wellbeing encouraging the release of endorphins.
It can also help relieve tension headaches and muscular tension.
Used with essential oils to help nourish and lubricate the skin, it is a wonderful relaxing 'time-out' experience with both wellbeing and positive physical attributes.
Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy can effectively help people change their lives for the better. Through the power of positive suggestion when a person is in a naturally occurring state of trance, it can help to accellerate learning, relieve stress and anxiety, control pain and much more.
The experience of being 'in trance' feels very pleasant and relaxing and can be likened to how it feels when we are day-dreaming or those moments just before we fall asleep. This state of mind is when the sub-conscious is open to suggestion and the practitioner is able to make positive, long lasting changes to old, out of date memories that no longer serve us well and influence our emotions negatively. The client remains in control at all times and is able to return to a fully conscious state at any time.
How does this work for stress and anxiety?
Hypnotherapy helps guide a client to achieving a deep state of relaxation which can reduce physical and emotional tension associated with stress and anxiety.
While in this relaxed state, clients are more receptive to suggestion and can access their subconscious mind where all our negative thought patterns and triggers lie.
The hypnotherapist can guide individuals to identifying and addressing these negative thought patterns and triggers through the power of suggestion. This helps the client develop healthier coping techniques and responses to stressful situations.
Mindfulness
The practice of Mindfulness has been shown to exert a powerful positive influence on many peoples personal health, wellbeing and happiness. It takes committment, practice and time but with guidance the benefits to our lives can be huge which is why it is supported by the NHS.
Mindfulness is the practice of focusing our attention and being fully engaged in whatever we're doing at the present moment, free from distraction or judgement and away from negative thoughts. We all tend to get caught up in negative past memories and worries about the future and these thoughts can then affect us in our everyday lives. triggering behaviour and thoughts that are not beneficial to us or those around us. This can result in high levels of stress, anxiety, depression and feelings of isolation.
Mindfulness teaches us to pay attention and have an awareness of our thoughts and feelings, to acknowledge them and then release them without becoming entangled with the negative emotions and feelings that sometimes accompany them. This freedom from our mental chains enables us to notice the world around us with a new freshness. We reconnect with our bodies and with other people. We can then subsequently become more relaxed and enjoy life with improved levels of self-esteem, becoming more open and flexible to whatever happens, simply enjoying life for what it is.
Mindfulness can be practiced throughout our normal, everday lives and as a more formal practice such as Mindful Meditation. Yoga and Tai-Chi can also be used as a means of focus.
Meditation
Meditation is the state of focused consciousness. When the mind settles into meditation it frees itself from the endless exhausting effects of its own mental chatter. The mind becomes focused and concentrated and it enters a stillness and calmness which brings clarity and compassion. It allows us to become more aware of others and their needs and to act more efficiently and effectively in the busy world we live in, meeting the challenges of daily life with understanding and composure.
This amazing therapy is like a cleansing of your mind. It rests and relaxes the mind whilst developing powers of concentration and awareness. It allows us to see into ourselves, a time for self reflection when our bodies and we rediscover our equilibrium and our balance. We become better at handling stress and better able to experience a sense of wellbeing. This can then lower blood pressure and heart rate both in and out of meditation. Our immune system becomes stronger. It may even help in pain control and healing.
Reiki
