massage (swedish)

a well-trained massage practitioner employs his hands as finely tuned yet powerful tools to promote wellness. as awareness grows and misconceptions fade regarding the value of massage therapy, more and more people are discovering the profound benefits available to them through regular body work. the origins of therapeutic massage are rooted in the common instinctual response to hold and rub a hurt or pain. it is found in all cultures as an integral part of health care and maintenance. hippocrates, the father of western medicine, considered massage of prime importance in any health regime. galen and the romans also greatly prized the healing benefits of massage. with the re-emergence of holistic health theories and therapies, therapeutic massage is experiencing a renaissance and is regaining its rightful place among health care practitioners.

reflexology (footmassage)  

reflexology, an ancient art practiced by all cultures, is a science based on the premise that there are zones and reflex areas in the feet which correspond to all glands, organs, parts and systems of the body. the physical act of applying pressure using thumb, finger and hand techniques to these reflex areas results in the reduction of stress which promotes physiological changes in the body.each foot has over 7,000 nerve endings, 26 bones, 107 ligaments and 19 muscles. this type of drugless therapy creates a physiological change in the body by naturally improving your circulation, which reduces your body tension and enhances relaxation. it aids in the elimination of body waste and restoring the body functions to better health. many of our health problems can be linked to stress. it is an acknowledged fact by the medical community that a body trying to function while under the influence of prolonged stress is less capable of organizing its defenses against illnesses and repair damage caused by injury. stress can be either mentally, emotionally, physically, or environmentally induced. reflexology can negate the effects of stress while it helps the body relax. it gently nudges the body towards better functioning by improving lymphatic drainage and venous circulation, simulation to the nerve pathways, and muscle relaxation.next training

 

reiki (hands on healing) 

reiki is a japanese word derived from rei, meaning "universal" and ki meaning "the vital life force". these japanese characters, when combined, present the concept of "universal life-force energy." reiki can be defined as the art of activating, applying and balancing the universal life force energy that dwells within every living being, animal or plant. reiki is an ancient tradition that uses universal life energy to support the body's natural ability to heal itself. it traces its roots back to what is now tibet; originating around 3,000 b.c.reiki is a natural healing method that uses the hands of a healer to channel energy to another person.a japanese scholar, dr. mikao usui, rediscovered the lost art in the 19th century. he passed on his knowledge to others, who have since spread reiki around the world.

any person can practice reiki. it is non-religious. people of many faiths and religions use it successfully. in order to practice reiki a person must be attuned to the energy by a reiki master. a person iniciated in reiki captures the energy through the chakras and transmits it through the hands. because it is a channeled healing, the reiki practitioner's energies are never depleted. in fact, the reiki consciousness considers both practitioner and client to be in need of healing, so both receive treatment. because of this, giving a treatment always increases one's energy and leaves one surrounded with loving feelings of well-being. besides many others, the benefits of reiki can be appreciated in expandation of consciousness and intuition, helping to have a better understanding of every being and life itself. reiki is a powerful tool to assist in the manifestation of goals, to help us grow, change and to evolve as spiritual beings.reiki treats the whole person including the body, emotion, mind and spirit and creates many beneficial effects including relaxation and feeling of peace, security and well-being.next training

rebirthing :

conscious, connected breathing
rebirthing is a method of healing and combining simple breathing and relaxation with a new understanding of the power of thought. it works on the principle that there is a close connection between emotional, mental and physical well-being and the way in which we breathe. so, liberating the body from pain, fear and disease can begin with liberating the breath. rebirthing works on three levels: body, mind and spirit.

on the physical (body) level, rebirthing is conscious, connected breathing. by connecting the inhale with exhale whilst in a relaxed state (circular breathing), you will learn to breathe freely and fully, healing old, inhibited patterns of breathing and opening the way to a deep sense of well-being brought about by the release of accumulated tensions which takes place during the Rebirthing session. this release may at first feel strong or dramatic, or it may happen very calmly.

with the help of a experienced rebirther you may explore and identify difficulties and enter a process of self growth that finally leads into change and transformation and release of inner conflicts.

history
breathwork has its origin in asia: india, china y japan and has always been used as a vehicle to heal and increase consciousness. we can consider them as an old inheritage coming back. the techniques of rebirthing as a combination of conscious, connected breathing and creative thinking was created by leonard orr, dedicated since 1975 to expand his method in worksshops and seminars all over the world, rebirthing millions of people.

"the eight biggies"

Rebirthing also means to unravel the birth-death cycle and to incorporate the body and mind into the conscious Life of the Eternal Spirit - to become a conscious expression of the Eternal Spirit. This involves healing the eight biggies of human trauma, which are the birth trauma, the parental disapproval syndrome, specific negatives, the unconscious death urge, karma from past lives, the religion trauma, the school trauma, and senility.

Rebirthing Breathwork is an experiential, body-centred alternative therapy that uses a gentle yet powerful breathing technique to help activate and release stored stress, pain and emotional trauma of all degrees. The results are often profound as this process works directly at the core of these issues whether conscious or unconscious. The process also includes identifying limiting beliefs that are formed before, during and after birth.

Rebirthing effectively reverses such beliefs and brings about changes that may have been previously difficult to achieve. It creates space in a client's life for joy, love, health and prosperity and functional relationships. It is recognised as a powerful, efficient healing method.

Areas in which special benefits have been found to occur are making long-awaited changes, psychosomatic illnesses, relationship/sexual issues, feeling 'stuck', shutdown or blocked, emotional release, recurrent negative patterns, traumatic births, accelerated growth.

ayurvédic massage:

over 5000 years ago the rishies (yogis, mistics) in india discovered a healing system (physical & astral) called ayurvedic. the founder of ayurvedic is bhagwan danvantri.
in the ayurveda system pain is provoked by an obstruction of the flow of vayu (air) in the vessels in the body. massaging the body generates heat which produces an expansation and change of the air.the circulation of vayu through the vessels dimishes the pain and leads to a deeper breath.

this massage balances the energy in the body, opens the free flow in the channels and cleans the chakras and the blood, using circulatory movements, pressure and channeled energy to help the one receiving. nowadays most people live under pressure and with a high level of stress. constantly worrying leads to an accumulation of toxins and blocks the energy in the body.
due to the special techniques of digitopuncture, friction and circulatory movement we work on the bloodcirculation, the limph system, emotional, subtle and energetic and the muscle system to eliminate the tiredness, physical and mental and increase the resistance to sickness and a lack of harmony.

the massage stimulates the production of antibodies and strengthens the vital components in the body. the aromaoils give strength to the nervous system. there is around 107 important pressure points called marmas which are connected to the five organic principals ( muscles, vessels, ligaments, bones and joints ). these connections are the base of the vital force or prana.

 

shiatsu:
shiatsu is an therapeutic art from japan. using thumbs, hands, knees and feed on the energy lines in the body to move the vital flow, ki, and increase the capacity of self healing.

based on the concept of inner & energetic balance of body and mind, shiatsu works on the meridians and acupuncture points of traditional chinese medicine stimulating the organism and moving the joints.
shiatsu is very recommendable in case of muscle pain, stress, tiredness, digestive, breathing, nervous and circulation problems.
