Healing and Energy Therapies
Reiki – Reiki is a therapy that can be based on touch or not depending on what you prefer, and involves the passage of energy through the therapist to you. You may have Reiki sitting up or lying down. Reiki may be used if you feel you need some space and time away from a chaotic period of time. It can help you relax your mind and body, clear your head, and find a sense of peace. http://www.reikifed.co.uk/ *
Healing – Healing is the flow of healing energy through the therapist to you, to balance out your energy and allow your body’s own self healing mechanisms to work more effectively. The energy goes to where it is needed in you, whether that is emotional, spiritual or physical. You do not need to have a religious faith for healing to work for you. http://www.ukhealers.info/ *
Acupuncture> – Acupuncture is the use of fine needles placed at carefully chosen sites of your body to affect energy (Ki) circulating in channels which lie below the skin and connect to internal organs. ‘Needling’ a point can strengthen energy where it is weak, disperse it where it is blocked and promote physical and mental balance. It can help with pain relief, as well as uplift your mood or reduce anxiety and stress. www.acupuncture.org.uk/ *
Herbal Medicine - Herbal Medicine uses plants in the treatment of physical and emotional disease. Plant medicines use whole parts (roots, flowers, leaves etc.) and may contain hundreds of constituents. This means that the natural balance of the plant is not disturbed, allowing the plant medicine to work harmoniously with your body. Herbs and plants may be used for their specific actions on parts of the body, or to help achieve balance and well-being. Herbal medicine can be used for many symptoms and conditions e.g. digestive problems, or more generally e.g. to increase energy. www.bhma.info/ *
Homeopathy – Homeopathy is a system of healing which helps the natural healing processes within your body. Symptoms are seen as expressions of disharmony within yourself and homeopathy aims to help you achieve balance. Homeopathy uses a substance known to cause a symptom but is given in extremely small amounts to ‘kick-start’ your body’s own ability to overcome that symptom, e.g. caffeine causes sleeplessness, but when used in homeopathy is given in very tiny doses to nudge the body to overcome insomnia. It can help you overcome some of the unpleasant side-effects of cancer treatments e.g. tiredness, nausea or hot flushes. www.homeopathy-soh.org *
