Reiki: The Perfect Complementary Therapy

by Margo Ross / Reiki Practitioner and Master Teacher
Reiki energy healing is the epitome of cross-therapeutic medicine for holistic health. This is because Reiki supports all levels of healing: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual, as needed or wanted, in a safe and convenient fashion. Some of the convenient and flexible features of Reiki treatments are: speed, availability at any time (self-treatment is commonplace), non-invasive, no drug side effects, never violates free will, cost range begins at no charge, plus it supports all other healing modalities, medicines, and spiritualities without conflict. Reiki is speedy, cheap and convenient: a short treatment is done in seconds and a full-body treatment in an hour. Treatments are fully clothed requiring no special equipment, no prep, and no special spaces. Anyone at any time in any place may receive Reiki. Thus, many people learn Reiki to conveniently treat themselves. Prices for Reiki lessons vary greatly with degree level, teacher, and location but it is a non-expiring lifetime skill.

Copper - A Healing Conduit

by Stephanie Pflumm / Owner of Ozark Rock Exchange
Copper's conductive energies are at the heart of its power, both physically and spiritually. Because this crystal metal doesn't hold a charge, but instead sends or conducts it on, it is a very useful power tool. It can take years for your tool to become acquainted with your personal energies, but once it does, it will conform and adapt itself to your every need. In fact, Copper talismans that are carried around for years by the same person can become quite powerful - so it's not such a dumb idea to carry around a lucky penny (or dime or quarter) that you found. It is a great metal for setting powerful gemstones and crystals into. Its conductive powers assist your stones in generating and sending out their strongest vibrations. Healers will like Copper's conductive and nonmagnetic powers. Using it in healing ceremonies and rituals will allow you to work with your patient without your tools becoming clogged with harmful energies. Since Copper doesn't retain a charge, makes it easy to use on multiple individuals without worry of spreading "infection". Many ancient traditions prescribe Copper for relief from arthritis and rheumatism. It is essential for the formation of blood and collagen in our bodies. It has anti-bacterial qualities and has been used to cleanse and heal wounds. It may also improve your body's metabolic processes, aid with bursitis and will increase your circulation.

The Health Benefits of Sex

by Al Link and Pala Copeland / Authors and Tantra Teachers
Lose weight. Reduce stress. Lower your cholesterol level. Improve your circulation. Live longer. Stay younger. Sounds like an ad for a new wonder drug right? In fact it’s a partial list of the benefits of humanity’s oldest and most pleasurable pastime - sex. Most of us are aware of the feel-good benefits of sex while we’re engaged in it, but do you also know that there are benefits which carry on after the sweaty bodies have dried and the sweet talk has reverted to sports? Sex is good for you, but sex with love is even better. According to Dr. Dean Ornish author of ‘Love and Survival: the Scientific Basis for the Healing Power of Intimacy’, “an open heart can lead to the most joyful and ecstatic sex”. His researches into intimacy and its effects on health have shown that “anything that promotes feelings of love and intimacy is healing”. If you have someone who really cares for you and for whom you care in return, someone you are intimately connected with in all ways - emotional, physical and more -- then you may be three to five times less likely at risk of premature death and disease from all causes.

An Introduction to Hypnotherapy

by Alan Crisp / Clinical Hypnotherapist
Hypnotherapy is the application of therapy during hypnosis, to change or modify behaviour patterns that we wish to change, such as the compulsion to smoke, gamble, drink etc. It can help in the cure of phobias such as the fear of spiders/insects, fear of flying, fear of thunder and lightning, fear of injections etc. It can help with motivation, confidence building, reducing stress and can be very effective in pain control. Hypnotherapy deals with psychosomatic problems - that is, problems of the mind that are rooted in and controlled by the subconscious mind. We always do what our subconscious mind tells us even if it goes against reason and logic. Hypnotherapy therefore, bypasses the conscious mind to allow the positive life-affirming suggestions for change, of our own choosing, to be fed to our subconscious mind directly, for us to act upon. For problems where a causal event or events may exist in the past, hypnoanalysis is used initially in order to find the sensitising event or events and release the emotion and motor actions associated with them, thus freeing the individual from the grasp of an outdated and obsolete (possibly never really needed at all) thought pattern and/or conditioning. Following this, healing suggestions and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) are used to build on the individuals desire for change to strengthen and support forward movement into a positive future.

Increase your Private Practice Success: Develop a Marketing Plan

by Juliet Austin / Marketing Coach, Consultant & Copywriter
Many helping and healing professionals begin a practice by marketing haphazardly, never really knowing what they are going to do next or why. This is understandable since most service professionals do not have an understanding of marketing and how a marketing plan can help them. However, marketing a practice without a plan can be a huge detriment to your success in private practice. The idea of developing a marketing plan is often scary and overwhelming for most healing professionals. They often don't know where to start or what is involved in developing a plan and therefore avoid it and/or convince themselves that they don't need one. The fact is, however, that most successful businesses do have a plan. After all, if you don’t know where you are going, how will you know how to get there? The good news is that most helping and healing professionals don't need a complicated marketing plan. Make it easy on yourself and develop a simple plan that you know you will utilize. There is no point in developing something that is not going to be used. This article includes seven key areas to include in a basic marketing plan.

I can’t imagine a more magical experience than these two powerful and loving women working together on the beautiful island of Hawaii! You will be treated to a powerful full moon ceremony while floating in the warm ponds under the tropical stars, spend time in the presence of Pele, hiking near the volcano and feel the magic and wonder of this island. You will learn about Hawaiian spirituality Ho’opono Pono Ke Ala and aloha in an intimate and loving way. Come - dance and hike lava fields, experience the power of ceremony surrounded by ancient petroglyphs, sleep in Pele’s presence, walk through luscious rainforests, eat meals lovingly prepared, sit in ancient steam vents and let the mists of Pele cleanse you. The retreat will include all ground transportation once you arrive on the island, accommodations, and food lovingly prepared using island fresh produce. We will have two levels of accommodations for you to choose from. You will be staying at one of two B&B in the Puna district. Both are close to the Lava Tree Park. Both B&B’s are wonderful.

Adventures At Sea & Within
Feel the exhilaration and ease of One Heart with these incredibly graceful creatures. Release all judgment, fear and shame as you spend days snorkeling with the largest mammals on the planet, and take a trip out-of-this-world! There is much to learn from spending time in the warm Dominican waters of the Silver Bank with the Humpback Whales. Seeing a mother caress and encourage a calf, only weeks old, the caring of these giants fills your heart. Watching the calves learn to dive and spin, you'll be mesmerized by their daring playfulness, as they swim closer and closer to the human pod. Hearing and feeling the unique sound of a whale singing only feet below you, your entire body tingles with the vibrations of love, acceptance, and peace. Eyeing the valentine dance of a female in heat, you cannot contain the all-over excitement in witnessing the sheer gracefulness of a 90,000-pound animal - looking like a ballerina. Every day you will watch, near and far, as rowdy males tail and pec flap, along with hours and hours of breaching, while they compete for the courtship of a female. Every day you will see sights only witnessed by a small fragment of the human world. For details on this trip visit www.captaincarla.com or call 508-397-9171.
