BREATHWORK

The benefits of breath-work are vast, you might think ‘well I practice it’, I breath in and out all the time, but the likelihood is you haven’t been tapping into the healing properties of using your breath.

1) It can reduce stress and improve relaxation rapidly.

2) Being trained to breath slower has been shown to improve/ reduce your blood pressure.

3) It can, alongside other treatments, impact and improve mood.

4) Studies have shown that it improves attention.

5) It can help manage pain and is great to manage anxiety. Suppressing the sympathetic nervous system and activating the parasympathetic nervous system.

Yoga suitable for all levels

EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) Referred to as psychological acupressure EFT involves tapping on key Meridian points in the body to reduce distress/ pain rapidly whilst using cognitive statements. With a growing body of evidence studies have shown large improvements in people with Depression and Anxiety. Studies have shown EFT to be more effective than antidepressant therapy.

REIKI Drumming/ Journeying

This ancient Japanese practice from the words Rei - meaning spiritually guided and Ki, life force energy, aids stress reduction, relaxation and promotes healing. Generally given by the practitioner through the laying on of hands, can be delivered to groups using drums, to balance the bodies energy centres.

Hypnosis

A human condition involving focussed attention, this practice allows modification of behaviour to create lasting improvements.
