BODY
Over the years, many clients have asked me to help with stress-related issues. And so this page sets out some of the practical techniques that I have used in the clinical therapies, which can also be used separately (i.e. you can use these techniques as stand alone treatments and do not need to be in therapy to use them). These include:
Breathwork - learn breathing techniques incl. Voo Breathing, Lightstream, Ocean breath, Earth breath, Fire breath, Heart breath, Eagle breath, Tree breath, Humming Bee breath
Chakras - Chakra (sanskrit) is a 'spinning energy centre', of which there are 7 in human beings. I work with you to identify and heal any chakra blockages
Lightwork - Essentially, Lightwork includes working with 'light' from learning how to see/k light/enlightenment from many perspectives, to Trataka (sanskrit) for 'light gazing'
Stretching - I have practiced yoga* for many years, and more recently QiGong* (working with chi or energy). Stretching involves working with very gentle and slow streches, that effectively support general health, by helping to free up our ability to move.
Sound - Working with, resonating with sounds from the natural world, music and primal voice
