Reiki

Bonnie giving a reiki treatment to a client

With today’s hectic life styles, it is of great importance to help people into a state of deep relaxation, and this is where a reiki session can play an important role. It is a quiet time for the client, who will lie comfortably on a reiki table, clothed and covered under a warm blanket. Soothing music playing in the background will start the session. As the reiki practitioner places her hands gently on specific areas of the body, the client may start to feel the energy flowing in as a tingling sensation or as the feeling of heat from her hands. This is the reiki energy drawn in by the client to begin their healing on a mental, emotional, physical or spiritual level. The client may now start to feel a deep sense of calm. When the session is over, they will find themselves rested, relaxed and in a state of peacefulness. The healing energy of this session will stay with them for several days. There are no boundaries or limitations, as reiki is for people of any age or sex –the elderly, women, men, teenagers, children and babies. This modality compliments other medical treatments people may be undergoing such as chemotherapy, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, ALS, etc.

Reflexology

Hand and Foot reflexology is a modality everyone should try. Reflexology can be practiced on everyone regardless of their age. In today's times, we find it more difficult to deal with the stresses of everyday life. The body's defenses break down and we become more susceptible to illnesses. A few of the benefits of reflexology are to improve circulation, relaxation by removing stress, and assisting in naturally balancing the body's metabolism. Reflexology compliments all other healing modalities the client may be working with on their road to wellness.

What you may expect during a Foot Reflexology sessions is that you will begin by laying comfortably on the Amethyst Bio Mat. Then, Heated Toe Stones will be gently placed between your toes while your session begins on the opposite foot. We do this enhance your session as well to warm and relax the foot.

During a Hand Reflexology treatment you will be reclined in the Reflexology Chair and resting comfortably on the Mini Amethyst Bio Mat. A Heated Palm Stone will be used to warm and relax one hand while the reflexology session continues on the opposite hand.

The room is set with soft lights and soothing music to create a peaceful atmosphere. Your session will begin. Your Reflexologist Practitioner will apply firm pressure and work within your pain threshold. The session does not have to be painful to be effective. Stress removal is the first priority followed by enhanced circulation with attention paid to reflexes relative to the body's requirements.

Soul's Journey has now included an added feature to complete your session with a mini Thermal Palm Massage. Thermal palms are similar to "stones" in that they are a hand-held heated modality; but the similarity ends there. Unlike stones, Thermal Palms are soft, mould to the contours of the body and provide a cushion of protection for massaging directly over bone. The Thermal Palm massage must be requested at your time of booking so that we have time to prepare them for your appointment.

Ear Candling

It is a painless therapeutic cleansing procedure which removes excess earwax and congestion from sinuses.

This ancient natural therapy has been passed down orally to us through the centuries by many people from around the world. The ancient Egyptians employed reeds in this technique. While it is recorded the Native American Indians dipped cornhusks in beeswax to make a hollow candle for this procedure. In today's world we use a hollow cone shaped candle made of high quality cotton flannel and 100% beeswax.

Some of the benefits of Ear Candling reported by clients

• removal of ear wax build-up and debris from the ear canal
• relief of pressure in cases of sinusitis, headaches, migraines, congestion, ear infection, "swimmer's ear"
• un-blockage of impacted ear wax
• clients report improvements in hearing and breathing
• relief from vertigo or dizziness
• relief from tinnitus or head noises
• helps hearing aids function more efficiently by cleaning ear canal

It is believed by some that the ear candling process can break up blockages in the subtle energy system and the subconscious where repressed emotions and memories can lie hidden from the conscious mind, causing degenerative disease. This is detailed in "The Metaphysical Applications of Ear Candles."

During the Ear Candling session...

During the Ear Candling session you will only feel the candle being carefully inserted into your ear. You may hear some crackling and popping when the ear wax is being loosened. Just relax and enjoy the face and neck massage during the Ear Candling session.

If the client has excessive hearing loss, they may feel more heat during the session since their feeling senses are keener. If the heat becomes uncomfortable, at your request, the session will be stopped and only continued when the client feels it is appropriate.

After the session you may feel lightness in your head and noises may appear to be much louder to your ears. This can be relieved by putting a little ear oil on some cotton and inserting it in the ears. You may find that your hearing has improved as most likely, the blockage of wax is gone.

You may feel warmth or itching in the ears. This can be relieved by putting a drop or two of Hydrogen Peroxide in the ears for a day or two after the Candling session, then wipe them out with a cotton swab. The Hydrogen Peroxide will continue to clean the ears and the itching will stop. You may use this same procedure with Enchinacea liquid or Colloidial Silver instead of Hydrogen Peroxide.

You may feel your sinuses are draining or the draining has increased. This will relieve the pressure in you sinus area and sinus headaches should be decreased. The senses of taste, smell may be increased.

This is an OLD HOME REMEDY and no claim is made for any cure of any disease or ailment.

Thermal Palm Massage

Thermal Palms are similar to 'stones' in that they are hand-held heat modalities, but the similarity ends there. Unlike stones, Thermal Palms are soft, mould to the contours of the body and provide a cushion of protection for massaging directly over bone.

Bonnie uses Thermal Palm Massage with some of her sessions, but does not provide a full body massage.

Please see the rates page for sesssions that include Thermal Palm Massage.

Therapeutic Touch

Therapeutic Touch is a method in which the hands are used to "direct human energies to help or heal someone who is ill." Proponents claim that the patient's "energy field" can be detected and intentionally manipulated by the therapist. They theorize that healing results from a transfer of "excess energy" from healer to patient. Their reports claim that TT is effective against scores of diseases and conditions. For the most part, a session involves the therapist working with her hands slightly away from the body. A session usually lasts no more than 20 minutes followed by the client resting another 10 minutes.
