I regularly post on the Blue Haze Wholistic Therapies' Facebook page about hospitals in Europe that offer Reiki to patients with cancer as a way to support their wellbeing.
Did you know that there are also hospitals in Australia that offer complimentary therapies to support those with cancer? The Wesley Hospital in Brisbane in one such place. You can read more about what they offer on their website http://wesley.com.au/services/the-wesley-hospital-choices-cancer-support-centre I love finding articles that not only support the use of natural therapies but can provide a scientific basis.
Have a read of this great article to learn more about Reiki lwww.theartofhealing.com.au/Reiki.html - Article by Amanda Johnson Have you ever wondered how a Reflexologist is able to ‘pick up’ certain imbalances about you just from touching or looking at your feet? To begin, you need to understand what Reflexology is. Reflexology is a therapy that is primarily centred on the feet or hands. It is based on the theory that these areas reflect our physical body. If you were to divide your body directly down the middle into two halves, your right foot would reflect the right side and your left foot would mirror the left side. This also includes everything located within the body, from bones to muscles and organs to glands. Reflexologists use ‘foot maps’ in order to help us work out where on the feet (or hands) certain physical elements sit in direct transference from the body. For example, it goes to say that we only have one heart, so the foot map should only have one heart on it! It should also show two kidneys (one on each foot), one stomach (with the main portion being on the left foot, flowing over to the right), small & large intestines covering both feet and so on. In addition to this. many Reflexologists including world renowned therapists Chris Stormer* and Avi Grinberg** believe that the feet are also a reflection of the person on all levels. This means that we can treat a person on a wholistic basis. The feet can reflect imbalances not only on a physical level, but also emotionally, mentally, spiritually and energetically. Identifiers include the temperature of the feet, colour in certain areas, injuries, deep creases, the shape of the toes and how the feet sit (angle) when relaxed. For example, someone who has oedema around the ankle may have issues letting go of stuff whilst another person whose feet turn inwards may be quite shy and insecure. One of my clients had an injury on the dorsal side of her foot, which lay across the crease where the leg joins the foot. I asked her if she suffered from stomach issues or nausea often and she said yes, asking how I knew. To my trained eye, the scar was sitting across a stomach meridian point so it made sense that she may suffer from issues relating to her stomach. Next time you look at a pair of feet, take the time to look at their landscape.
