ARICULAR THERAPY


This is a GREAT thing.  It amazes me how we can use our ears (& feet) to heal. 
My son & myself both do it.  He has ADHD & lots of trouble focusing,  and this has really helped!  I go for general wellness, stress & depression....now that school has starteed, I need to get more consistant with this!

Auricular Therapy is a highly effective system for analyzing problems and treating the entire body...from your external ear. 

It originated in China and according to the principles of auricular therapy, each area of your ear corresponds to a different anatomical part of your body.  Many sites have been identified on the ear which become spontaneously tender or otherwise react to the presence of disease or injury elsewhere in the body. 
Ear Reflexology is not only effective in the treatment of a wide range of common 
diseases, it can also be used for your central nervous system, for control of chronic pain, detoxification from addictions, (smoking, heroin, cocaine), ADHD, depression, relief from nausea, migranes and high blood pressure.
The shape of the body is projected into the ear and every point of the body corresponds to a point of the ear.  In a healthy person the link is not apparent BUT when there is an imbalance of the physiological equilibrium it's point of projection in the ear becomes painful. The therapist then stimulates the painful points of the ear by massage or cauterization.
With auricular therapy, clients are able to find out what is wrong with their body, way before signs show up on a typical physical or blood test. Whereas a physical exam or blood test is unable to treat abnormal readings, auricular therapy is able to treat even slight abnormalities. That's the sheer beauty of natural health care - actually treating abnormalities BEFORE they progressively worsen.

REIKI


Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.

The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy". So Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy."

A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing. Many have reported miraculous results.

While Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not a religion, is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It has no dogma, and there is nothing you must believe in order to learn and use Reiki. In fact, Reiki is not dependent on belief at all and will work whether you believe in it or not. Because Reiki comes from God, many people find that using Reiki puts them more in touch with the experience of their religion rather than having only an intellectual concept of it.
