Reiki is a gentle non-invasive form of hands on healing, which treats the physical, mental and emotional body all together. It strengthens the body's own natural ability to heal itself and clears away any blockages in the flow of energy around the body that lead to illness and stress. Reiki rebalances the body's energy, de-stresses on all levels and facilitates an improvement in overall health.

Treatments are approximately 1/2 hour long, are performed with the client fully clothed (except shoes) on a treatment couch, the practitioner gently lays their hands on the body (or off the body, clients preference) in a sequence of positions.

Seichem is a non-invasive form of hands on healing, which treats the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual body. In the instance of physical pain a Seichem practitioner performs a ' pain drain ', which drains the energy surrounding the area where pain is felt, out of the body. There can sometimes be slight discomfort during this process for the client, but the results far outweigh any discomfort felt. Seichem energy enables the practitioner to cut through the aura directly to the source of the dis-ease, bringing in all 4 elements of healing;

Reiki - grounding energy, enhancing the client's natural ability to heal themselves.

Sakara - fire energy, works in the auric field as well as the physical body, burning through and transforming blockages and resistance in the physical, mental, emotional and etheric bodies.

Sophi-El - cool energy, this energy brings up deep emotional issues for healing. It is both gentle and persistent.

Angeliclight - this is Angelic energy, allowing the practitioner to work effectively with Angels, Holy Spirit, and the client's higher self. Angeliclight acts like an Angel magnet.

Treatments are approx 1/2 hour long, are performed with the client fully clothed (except shoes) with hands on the body and in the auric field.

Integrated Energy Therapy , was developed at the Centre of Being, Woodstock, New York, by Stevan J. Thayer along with the Angel ARIEL. It is a high-energy vibration inspired by Angel Ariel to heal with the energy of Angels. IET uses the high vibration energy of pure spirit with the angelic ray of love and compassion.

I.E.T is healing with Angels; it is a non-invasive hands on healing technique, which uses a divine angelic energy ray to work directly with your 12 - strand Spiritual DNA. I.E.T supports the client in safely and gently releasing limiting energy patterns of their past, empowering and balancing their life in the present, and helping them reach for the stars as they evolve into their future. I.E.T painlessly gets ' THE ISSUES OUT OF THE TISSUES FOR GOOD '.

It clears energy blocks that limit health, life purpose, prosperity and creativity.

Treatments are approx 1/2 hour long, are performed with the client fully clothed (except shoes), with the hands on the body triggering specific integration points. A treatment costs 40 euro for

ANGEL MESSAGES / READINGS

Channelled messages from your Angels, this reading helps with discovering your life-path / divine mission, your Guardian Angel/s, Angels present and willing to help at this time of your journey. It helps resolve emotional, mental and physical situations in life. This reading also advises on making changes in life or when a cross roads is reached. The Angels may also communicate events with are about to occur and how to deal with them. Their messages are always full of Love, support, guidance and positive encouragement. Their words are inspirational and always lovingly go to the heart of the issue for healing, offering solutions and direction to help us move forward on our spiritual journey.

' The messages your Angels wish to communicate to you, will come through'

Visualisation: A gentle way of encouraging your mind to create positive thoughts and thought patterns, helping to bring positive energies into your life now and in the future.

Angel Light Weaving: This is a technique transmitted through the Angels that guides you in weaving living light energy, in various patterns throughout a persons energy system. Light may be weaved above and below an energy field or within a particular chakra or area of the body. This technique can also be used to scan and cleanse the aura, as well as assisting the physical and subtle bodies to realign, reintegrate and re pattern with positive energy flow.

Auric Protection: Our Aura is our energy field, which extends up to approx: 4 feet from the physical body. It is constantly bumping into to other people's auras and we are continuously exchanging different energies. Sometimes it would help us to shut down more and close our auras more tightly around us, especially if we are with someone who is draining our energy. This technique brings more awareness of your aura and offers guidance on how to protect yourself on an everyday basis, whether you are healing others or not.

Cosmic Energy Meditation: This meditation allows you to access cosmic energy to help relax and revive you on all levels, physical, emotional, mental & spiritual. Just as grounding energy is very good for steeping you in reality and bringing you back to earth, so cosmic energy is very good for creating a connection with higher, spiritual energies and for giving you a lift into higher realms. Using both will help create a healthy, balanced system. Both techniques covered on True Spirit day.

Cutting ties & releasing blockages technique: This technique helps on two levels, the cutting ties technique will help you let go of someone who has left your life whether through death, divorce or separation, with whom you still feel have too strong a connection. It will also help if you have someone whose energies you feel are unhealthily tangled with your own and are preventing you from moving forward in your life. Especially beneficial if you are feeling stuck emotionally/mentally.

The releasing blockages technique encourages you to fully accept the blockages in your physical, mental, emotional & spiritual self, which may be causing stagnation in your life. It helps you to fully accept the condition and then take control of the situation. When you feel in control you feel powerful. Feeling powerful releases energy blocks allowing you to move forward in your life.

Awareness Meditation: This meditation helps to focus consciousness in the feeling centre of the body, the 2 nd chakra. When we are centred in the 2 nd chakra, the opposite chakra in the third eye also becomes balanced and opens up. This meditation allows the intellect to step aside and helps you naturally connect with your true feelings. Once you are at peace with your emotions you can begin to open up to your intuitive guidance from your third eye, allowing for easier and more natural problem solving on all levels.

Connecting with your Guardian Angel: This workshop creates an environment where you become deeply relaxed and filled with unconditional love, allowing you to come into closer contact with your Guardian Angel, discovering their name, gift to you and messages/guidance regarding specific situations in your life at that time. This workshop is very special and personal as you work directly with your own Guardian Angel.

Breathing into stillness process: This process helps you to achieve true relaxation, by working with your breath to obtain a state of stillness within. This is a short process designed to help you become more aware and appreciative of your breathing and its beautiful, rhythmic simplicity. When you are still within all thoughts are quietened and space is achieved to allow creative solutions to our everyday puzzles. In the perfection of your breath lies true stillness and deep relaxation, a process we would encourage you to continue at home after the True Spirit experience.

Chakra Drawing: This is a personal journey and different for everyone. It involves drawing and writing about each chakra after being gently guided through a series of techniques to help you connect with each area of your body. There are a series of questions for each chakra to help you identify where and how your life is being affected by the health and amount of energy being used by each of your seven chakras. This is an extremely beneficial workshop, which helps balance your life on all levels - physical, mental, emotional & spiritual.

Chakra Orienteering: This workshop is weather dependant and an outdoor option instead of Chakra Drawing.

Weather permitting this course is conducted outside in nature, along the lines of Orienteering, follow a map to each Chakra location, find information on that chakra, affirmations, questions to discover limiting beliefs / patterns, techniques to break these and topics to discuss relative to each chakra as the group moves from the 1 st to the 7 th chakra.

(As this is conducted outside, a raincoat, walking shoes/boots, comfortable clothes & a bottle of water are required. It is also a good idea to bring a change of clothes)

Swedish massage : Manipulation of soft tissue by massage. It relaxes & warms the body & muscles. It helps decongest muscles and improve blood & lymph flow. It aims to reduce stress levels by inducing relaxation. The techniques of effleurage, petrissage, hacking & cupping are used to give this relaxing yet revitalising treatment.

Pregnancy massage: Massage is most important at this stage of a woman's health. It helps to relax her mind & body and also the baby. The tired ligaments ( due to hormonal changes) can be revitalised and symptoms like constipation, backache, headache, muscle tension, stretch marks & indigestion can also be helped with the use of aromatherapy oils. Not all oils can be used during pregnancy, but many can, it is very important to consult a qualified Aroma therapist before any treatments are undertaken. The True Spirit Aroma therapist is fully qualified.

Indian Head Massage : Is a massage, which covers the area of the body from mid-back to shoulders, neck, head & face. It helps to relieve aches & pains, headache, shoulder tension, sinus congestion, stress and it induces relaxation. Aromatherapy oils are used in this massage, which also brings the therapeutic properties of the essential oils to the client.

Aromatherapy: Aromatherapy is the controlled use of essential oils, to improve and maintain health. Each essential oil has both an aromatic smell and a therapeutic benefit.. e.g. Lavender - calming & pain killing, Eucalyptus - decongestant.

All essential oils have healing properties.

The Workshop will show you how to safely use aromatherapy essential oils, both on yourself, the elderly, sick, children & pregnant women. During this workshop you will make your own personal body lotions.

Both the Massage & Aromatherapy workshops will include techniques on how to give a back & hand massage using the aromatherapy essential oils. You can use these techniques at home with your family & friends.

Reflexology: Reflexology works on the basis that both your feet reflect your whole body. The Right foot - right side of the body, the Left foot - left side of the body.

There are over seven thousand nerves in your body and these nerve endings are found in the feet. By placing specific pressure on certain points on the feet, different areas of the body including organs can be balanced & healed.

The Workshop will cover the reflex points in the feet & hands, and also teach you some methods of pain relief etc.

Hopi Ear Coning : Hopi Ear Coning. The Hopi people (native to North & South America) brought the knowledge of the Hopi Ear coning to Europe. Original bio sum ear candles are still made by hand using traditional recipes & the finest ingredients. The ear candles are made of pure beeswax, honey extracts & traditional herbs, such as, sage, St. Johns worth, chamomile & pure essential oils.

Following igniting the Ear candle is placed into the ear; a light suction action (chimney effect) and movement of the flame create a vibration of air in the ear candle, generating a massage like effect on the eardrum.

This induces a pleasant feeling of warmth & a balance of pressure in the ears, forehead & sinuses. It is soothing & helpful for earache, headache, ear noise, stress & nervousness.

Treatment may be spontaneous & cause free nasal breathing and an improved sense of smell even when the nose was blocked before treatment.

Both ears are treated. The reflex points of the respiratory center, head and face are massaged to complete the treatment.

   

A real treat awaits you in our exquisite holistic therapy centre. Our highly qualified and experienced staff are availbale to administer the most luxurious treatments your body needs.

Reflexology


Reflexology is an holistic therapy which balances the body by applying pressure to reflex points in the hands and/or feet. Its origins date back to Chinese and Egyptian medicine. It is a scientific technique of applying pressure to reflexes that have a definite effect on the normal functioning of all parts of the body. Properly performed, this reflex work sends stimuli to various organs, glands and nerves in the body. Tenderness at particular points may indicate congestion within the body. The purpose of reflexology is to promote balance and normalisation, to reduce tension, to revitalise, re activate, re generate, heal and bring the whole system into harmony and a state of good health, naturally. This treatment is used in many hospitals alongside conventional medicine to treat the whole person.

Reiki

Reiki is the Japanese word for Universal Life Force Energy. It was discovered in Japan during the latter part of the 1800's by Mikao Usui. Reiki works by challenging the energy through the hands of the practitioner. It helps to reduce tension, revitalise, re activate, re generate, heal and bring the whole system into balance. It works on 4 levels - Physical, Mental, Emotional and Spiritual.

Swedish Massage

Massage is the term used for the ancient art of healing, its value proven over centuries for easing the cares and tensions of daily life. Swedish or Therapeutic massage was developed by the Royal Central Institute in Sweden. From this institute came most of the systems of massage known as "Swedish". Where discomfort is felt muscles will compensate to relieve the strain and tense, sore muscles are formed. This may be an indication that the soothing, relaxing elements of massage are needed.

Aroma therapy Massage Therapy

Aroma therapy is the science of using the oils from plants in treatment. It is an "holistic" therapy exploring the mind, body and spirit of the person. it uses only natural and gentle methods to resolve many of our illnesses, no matter what the origin. It can be used by itself or alongside other forms of therapy, including conventional medicine. Beneficial for back ache, muscle pain, joint pain and stress relief. Also used to treat allergies, memory problems, PMS and menopause.
