Crystal Therapy - A Therapists Guide
Origins
Crystals and crystalline rock have been around for millions of years and they make up almost all of the earth's crust. Deep within the earth’s core minerals combine and rise to the surface forming crystals. Some are formed from spectacular volcanic eruptions whilst others are formed from weathering and erosion. Whatever the method of creation the result is beautiful crystals formed of different minerals, exhibiting a wide range of colours and shapes.

Chi Nei Tsang Abdominal Massage - Healing from Within
“The abdominal area, with the internal organs and their internal structures, holds the secrets of a person: things we hide from ourselves. The body holds all kinds of strategies for addressing conflict, personal history, personality, tendencies. Thus the abdominal structure holds the secret of the future, of a person’s life purpose. Any deviation from that purpose brings us in direct conflict with ourselves and causes illness”
Gilles Marin, Founder of the Chi Nei Tsang Institute, USA

Living Medicine-Pharmaceutical Free - Part I
Living Medicine-Pharmaceutical Free sounds like an oxymoron—doesn’t it? To some it is—to others it will seem redundant, because millions of people throughout the world are living Medicine/Pharmaceutical Free. How can that be?—You might ask. Everyone needs aspirin, antacids or a pain reliever occasionally. Yes, people need remedies for stomach acid or pain relievers, occasionally, however, there are a plethora of natural remedies.

History Of Reflexology - Corrections
Your teacher is only as good as the information provided to them. Is it possible that an error is in most of the reflexology books regarding the history of reflexology? Someone read the book, taught it, repeated it, repeated it some more, until it is in all the reflexology books. Does this make it so, real, and liable information? I am a seeker of Reflexology truth. Read the copy of history from my book One Step Beyond and find out details and proof on this subject. Seek and you shall find.

Enjoy the Energy of Fall
According to Oriental medicine, the season of autumn is associated with the element of Metal, which governs organization, order, communication, the mind, setting limits, and protecting boundaries. It’s a good time to finish projects that you began in spring and summer – harvesting the bounty of your hard work. Of course, it’s also the perfect time to begin more introspective, indoor projects.

The Kidney and Your Health
The kidneys are an amazing organ of the body that are so widely overlooked and ignored. They facilitate very important processes such as filtering our blood that rids us of waste and toxins, maintaining blood pressure, fluid and electrolyte balance and on top of that the adrenal glands sit on top of the kidneys, which in turn affect bodily function through hormone control.

Treatments for Liver Pathologies
Firstly, I will explain the principle of naturopathy. A Naturopath’s ethos is to “heal using natural methods”. Having a broad knowledge of many diagnostic and treatment methods and a good understanding of the physiology and anatomy of the body, the competent Naturopath is able to analyse the bigger picture of the patient’s health. It is always the work of a Naturopath to ascertain and treat the cause of disease rather than the symptoms.

The Modern Naturopath
Naturopathy is a 19th century word meaning “nature cure”.
Historically, a Naturopath was one who healed using treatments incorporating water, air, light, good nutritious food, as well as massage, to cleanse, detoxify and stimulate the bodyís inborn healing powers. While Naturopathy often brings up ideas of cold baths, exercise, fresh air, it is more subtle and wide-ranging discipline that can help a huge range of ailments as well as maintaining good health.

Make the Most Of the New Energy Of Spring
Now, the warmer temperatures and the longer hours of daylight will be an awesome relief. No more feeling like a hibernating bear cooped up inside your house – you can go outside for lovely walks and appreciate the new life of spring. In the winter, your body is “fu chang” – Chinese for “in storage.” In the spring, your body begins to “wake up.”

What is Thai Yoga?
Thai Yoga is many things and can be many more. It depends on the necessity, desire, focus and skill of the practitioner in harmony with the necessity, desire, receptiveness and presence of the client. It is direct action of a healthful and beneficial nature. It is the expression of undiluted loving kindness in physical form. It is a picture of compassion made concrete and available in tangible form. And why not?

REIKI and Healing in another culture
I think what has been discovered is, Spirit needs to be considered in all healing, mental or physical. Thank goodness, that I was exposed to other worlds of healing, which helped me accept and look for the connections within all cultures. So I will share some of the cultural knowledge I had no choice but to be a part of.
After living in Japan for two years we moved to Hawaii, my hubby was a local boy and I experienced and enjoyed Hawaii like not many others were able to.

WHERE DID ALL THE ANSWERS GO?
Ever feel like your life is out of control? What about your children? Have you ever asked them and then listened - really listened? Many times children don't have the words they need to express their inner most feelings but if you watch their actions, you will feel their frustration. The frustration of having something to say but not knowing how to say it.
