TERA-MAI REIKI & SEICHEM

Tera-Mai Reiki & Seichem is a powerful system of healing developed by Kathleen Miner, an American artist, teacher and author.

At the end of the 19th century, a healing method was rediscovered in ancient Sanskrit texts by a Japanese scholar, Mikaomi Usui. He called it Reiki (pronounced ray key), a Japanese word that means Universal life energy. It was taken to American in the 1940's.This form of healing is energy channelling, and can benefit in many ways: Seichem (pronounced say keem) is one of the healing arts practised in ancient Egypt. In the Tera-Mai system, Reiki is an element of Seichem.

There are many benefits to this form of healing, including:

to ease and promote relaxation. to boost the immune system. help with bereavement. improve sleep quality. treats animals and plants. soothes pain and improves joint mobility. reduce the effect of trauma. supports other complimentary therapies.

As a natural holistic therapy it is a safe system of healing, even for babies, pregnant women, the elderly and after surgery. It helps us to move through the blockages that prevent our lives from flowing as they could. The energies enhance our natural ability to heal ourselves. Reiki treats individuals on all levels, physical, mental and emotional and at deep soul level, targeting the cause as well as the symptom.

Sessions last approximately 1 hour and the benefits last for quite some time afterwards. You remain fully clothed, and can receive the energies whilst lying down or sitting. The healer will gently place his or her hands in various positions on, or just above your body. You may feel a pleasant sensation of warmth, coolness or tingling. This is usually very relaxing and can be an opportunity for emotional release, a chance to talk, or you may simply fall asleep! Every individuals reaction is different and no two healing treatments are the same.

Chris runs the Reiki Share Classes along with Alison Wynne-Ryder and Anne Jones.

HOPI EAR CANDLES

Hopi Ear candles are an ancient, mild and natural therapy and have been used by the Native American Indian for many years.

The Hopi candle is nEot a candle as such, but a hollow tube made out of cotton flax.

The Treatment

The treatment is very gentle and relaxing and may take up to an hour, depending on the condition being treated.

The candle is placed over the ear orifice and ignited. It is only allowed to burn to within 4 inches of the end of the candle. As it burns it produces a gentle local heat. The warm air combined with the oil and herbs soften the wax and draw it into the base of the candle. The candle is then removed and the ear and surrounding area is then massaged. The treatment is repeated on the other ear and then a complete facial massage is carried out, paying particular attention to the sinus areas.

What Conditions Can Ear Candles Help?

Ear candles can help with the treatment of sinusitis, rhinitis, earwax, earache and irritation of the ears including tinnitus. It is also suitable for the treatment of headaches and migraines. It is not suitable for those with perforated eardrums, where grommets are in place or those who may have an allergy to the ingredients. It is a safe and gentle treatment for children.
