Lastone
originated from Tucson, Arizona and has become the "hottest
spa treatment" in the U.S. This form of massage technique
known as thermotherapy has arrived in the U.K. Heated stones
have been used for therapeutic purposes as far as the Sheing
Dynasty in China 4000 years ago.
LaStone is a healing and relaxing massage which combines
water heated basalt lava stones, frozen marble stones, therapeutic
massage, aromatherapy and hot oil treatment to warm and
invigorate, release stress, creating a feeling of well being,
balance and a sense of wholeness.
The treatment
can be specific for isolated areas of injury or full body
for a total relaxing and invigorating experience.
The warmth
and energy from the hot lava stones transmits a soothing
warmth which loosens and melts stiff muscles into submission
and the energy these emit results in a deeper more meditative
experience. This with the cool and clearing influence from
the cold stones allows the practitioner to work specific
areas of the body whilst still giving continuous total body
penetrating heat and relaxation.
Up to 52 basalt
lava stones are heated, maintained at a specific temperature
and placed around the body. Specific stones are arranged
on the couch for you to lie on. Various stones are then
placed on the seven chakra points of the body. Chakra points
are the body's centres of energy and placing a stone on
these areas helps restore the body's balance.
A warm stone
is also placed in each hand to hold for comfort and connection
- there are also small warm stones between your toes. Relax
and enjoy the experience of stones with massage and feel
the power and energy in the stones.
The result
is restored balance, calm revitalised natural energy and
a more grounded feeling.
HOLISTIC DENTISTRY
It is well
recognised that certain conditions, e.g. stress, anxiety
and tension, can cause clenching or grinding of the teeth
during sleep. This can result in jaw, head, neck and shoulder
pains as well as pain in the two jaw joints (TMJ-temporomandibular
joints). One may also experience difficulty in chewing or
swallowing food.
The philosophy
of Holistic Dentistry highlights the need to address the
cause as well as the symptoms of the condition. Treatment
involves acupuncture and TMJ therapy.
HEALTH KINESIOLOGY
Health Kinesiology
is a new and exciting form of energy medicine which rebalances
the body in an effort to clear stress from the energy system.
Quite simply the practitioner "listens" to the
clients' needs by finding a muscle that can "talk".
A muscle talks by either being spongy or locking when light
pressure is applied and that is how the practitioner identifies
the root to clearing the health problem. The client, fully
clothed and lying down, usually feels a sense of strong
relief after a session and success is achieved quickly in
most cases. It has excellent results in treating clients
of all ages with problems such as allergies, rashes psoriasis,
eczema, asthma, ME, irritable bowel syndrome, nail biting,
scar tissue, hearing impairment, depression, behavioural
problems, self confidence, migraines, emotional trauma,
bronchitis, hormonal problems, PMS, hyperactivity, vertigo,
herpes, panic attacks, dyslexia and much more.
Health Kinesiology
was developed in the late 1970's by Dr Jimmy Scott who received
his degree in Physiological Psychology from the University
of California. He took aspects of the Chinese acupuncture
model and his own unique insights and developed this powerful
but gentle healing system.
ENERGY HEALING
Energy Healing
is a skill with a recorded history of thousands of years.
It can help a wide range of physical and psychological difficulties,
somtimes to a remarkable degree.
Energy Healing,
like homeopathy, works on the principle of treating like
with like. Physicists have proven that everything is made
up solely of energy (Quantum Theory) - ourselves included.
With this in mind, any imbalance or blockage of energy within
us can create a condition or disease, psychological or physiological
and in some cases both.
Working with
this energy is the principle behind Energy Healing. By channelling
energy and directing it accordingly, the healer's aim is
to restore balance and clear any blockages so that our natural
defence mechanism can move freely and restore health.
During a healing
session, which lasts approximately 45 minutes, the recipient
goes into a deep state of relaxation, but without losing
awareness of the procedure and the various sensations created
by the circulating energy. It is, in fact, this high degree
of inner relaxation that is most beneficial, for psychological
and stress related conditions. It calms the nervous system
clears the mind and allows for perception and understanding
that trigger the healing process.
The after effect
is a sense of well being, confidence and clarity that is
uplifting and lasting. Energy healing may have immediate
or a delayed effect and is a therapy without side effects
which compliments other therapies.
