REIKI

Reiki Healing is a natural non invasive therapy that treats the whole person with many benefits, both physical and psychological. Reiki is based on the Usai System of Natural Healing - harnessing body energy and removing blocks to the natural movement of energy through the body. Through its action Reiki can work with the patient to promote both physical and mental health. Reiki can stimulate the body’s  natural healing properties and may be applied to any condition. Reiki is fully complementary to any other treatment and the effects will depend on the stage of the condition and the person being treated. Reiki treatments are found to be particularly beneficial with these conditions:

SHAMANIC HEALING

Healing is when something in a person changes, shifts, expands or is transformed for better. It can take place in the emotional, the mental, the physical or in the spiritual level. Doctors are specialised in healing the physical, Psychiatrists and psychologists specialised in healing the mental, counsellors specialised in healing the emotional, shamanic practitioners are specialised in healing the soul. When a healing takes place at a spirit or soul level very often it has an effect in all other levels supporting well-being and/or recovery.

ENERGY WORK

Energy work for cleansing and balancing the aura by raising our vibration and consciously upholding unconditional love to channel healing and support to others. Integrity and humility keep the purity and clarity of the energy, going deeper to remove blocked energies where needed. Deep energy cleansing, energy balance and deep relaxation are some of the benefits of the Energy Work.

HOMOEOPATHY

Homoeopathy is a gentle yet effective system of medicine that enhances our own body's natural tendency to heal itself. It can be used to heal both chronic and acute ailments and can be taken alongside conventional medicine. The following list is a small example of what can be treated with homoeopathic medicine:

  • Stress, Anxiety and Depression
  • Menopausal Symptoms
  • Babies and children, acute illnesses, failure to thrive and chronic complaints.
  • Pregnancy and childbirth
  • Skin Problems
  • Arthritic and rheumatic pain
  • Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

SOUL RETRIEVAL

When we suffer a trauma, be it small or major, a part of our soul, a part of our essence leaves our body and that is our way to cope or survive. Part of being human is having this adaptative mechanism for our survival. That part of us, our essence or life force, has the ability to live in other dimensions because we are, by nature, multidimensional beings.

When soul lost occurs, we are left with a feeling that something is missing but we are not quite sure what that is. Sometimes it is a sense of not being here, not being present, sometimes it is a sense of confusion, not being able to have clarity or direction, sometimes it is being stuck in enacting suffering and pain. Childhood trauma is a very common reason for needing a soul retrieval. Negative pattern cicles can also be due to soul lost.

Healing cannot take place if the person is in a dis-empowered place. First thing to do is to empower the person and we start by calling the person's spirit helpers. The helpers provide power, energy, support and will tell us what parts need to come back. When a healing takes place at a soul level, when the re-union takes place, very often, it has an effect in all other levels. Soul retrieval, although very simple, is one of the most powerful shamanic healing one can have.
