  • Sound Healing:
    A Therapeutic Tool
    for the Future

    by Zacciah Blackburn / Teacher, Sound Healer, and Director of Education at the Sound Healing Network
    Sound Healing is the new buzz word in complementary therapy. Sound healing therapies are being incorporated into traditional and non-traditional healing practices, more and more, from one’s own meditation room, to practitioners utilizing traditional massage, reiki, acupuncture, shamanism, nutrition, psychology, and standard medical practices. One heart surgeon recently was reported to say, “Any surgeon not using music (therapy) in the operating room is simply being negligent,” because he has found it so significantly effective in his patients' recovery. Some say "sound healing is the new yoga", meaning that it will soon be practiced everywhere. What is it? Have you heard of sound healing yet? If not, you soon will.

    The Enneagram Personality System: Five, The Observer
    by Viki Markham, Ph.D / Psychotherapist and Certified Enneagram Teacher
    The Five is in the Head or Fear Triad along with types Six and Seven. The issues they have in common are feeling afraid in the world and being suspicious of life in general. In the childhood of the Five, there was some kind of intrusion on their person, which they could not get away from. For some it was parental intrusion, for others it was outside the family such as staying in the hospital for extended operations. The result was that the young Five retreated into their mind, into a place where no one could reach them, where they still had some independence. Their mind became their place of refuge, their strength, their sense of safety. The world was an unsafe place, where people demanded things of them they did not want to give. Other people were seen as demanding and intrusive. They learned to quietly contain themselves in order to avoid contact and hassles with others.

    Universal Applications of Traditional Usui Reiki
    by Patricia Keene / Reiki Master/Teacher, Polarity Therapist and Proprietor of Oakledge Polarity
    Reiki is a unique complementary health modality that provides deep relaxation, reduces stress and promotes the innate healing process on all levels of being. The practitioner is a conduit for the Reiki energy; the recipient self-directs this energy to wherever it needs to go. The overall intelligence of one’s being will direct the healing energy, even if the person is unaware, unconscious, or not cognizant, e.g., a newborn or someone in a comatose condition. Additionally, the practitioner or anyone in close proximity will receive the energetic benefit and come away refreshed! Happily, Reiki does not need any particular time frame and the practitioner need not give a “session” in order to benefit self or others. With grounding exercise and intention, Reiki will flow as one goes about daily tasks.

    Stress - The Modern Epidemic
    by Matthew A. Ferguson, SQHP / Clinical hypnotherapist, Master Trainer of NLP, Stress Consultant, Motivation Coach and Author
    The stress response is a natural and healthy response to perceived threats, be they physical or psychological in nature. Unrelieved and unnecessary stress is a catastrophe! Doctors' surgeries are full of patients whose primary cause of ill health is stress related. Companies are losing billions owing to absenteeism, families and relationships are under threat and our personal wellbeing is being eroded, all because we fail to recognise our stress and manage it. The challenge of stress is the challenge of life. We have a choice. We can be overwhelmed by it or learn to harness it. We need to learn how to use its energy productively in our lives.

     FEATURED BOOK
    LIFE and MIND —
    In Search of
    the Physical Basis

    Edited by Savely Savva

    Contemporary physics cannot explain life. The postulated concept of the biofield control system and experimental and theoretical works presented in LIFE and MIND - In Search of the Physical Basis suggest ways to broaden current scientific paradigm. Experimental studies presented and referred to in this book suggest that the operation of the organism cannot be reduced to chemical interactions since contemporary chemistry knows only electric and thermal forces; that the biological nuclear synthesis presented by Louis Kervran in 1960-80's is not a myth; that the non-structural memory of water manifests itself at organism, cellular and enzymes levels; that human intent and / or expectation may effect cellular equilibrium, etc.
