​It's great to have a nice serenity Incense corner in the house, with a nice incense burner, Himalayan Salt lamp and a few soothing, healing crystals.

​This is your space to go to during stress filled times to easily connect with your higher self...

Ofcourse some dried lavender and flower wreaths just adds to the ambiance and aromatic healing benefits. :-)

​Hypnosis is a safe method that actually takes place in our daily lives without realization, such as just before sleeping when that tired feeling kicks in. This is known as the alpha-state, which is the first state of hypnosis. Those who do not remember getting home during drive, or have been engaged in an activity with steps that have been forgotten, are involved in a hypnotic state during these occurrences. 

At the beginning of a hypnosis session, the hypnotherapist asks what the patient wants to work on and what the possible causes are. They will then find out what the patients goals are in the session and what they would like the outcome to be. They will talk about current life circumstances and then the hypnosis can begin. 

​The only difference between natural occurring hypnosis and guided hypnosis is that guided hypnosis puts the patient into a much deeper state. The patient is fully aware of what is happening and can hear what is being said, even if the mind tends to drift during the session. 

During hypnosis, the physical body is completely relaxed. The more frequently that hypnosis is practiced results in the deeper levels of relaxation. Those who practice meditation regularly will recognize the feelings of hypnosis and often find it easier to tap into the subconscious. 

Hypnotherapy accesses the subconscious and uses “suggestions”, or words, to alter habits and beliefs. This is often used for negative habits such as smoking, overeating and much more. 

Let’s say that you have a problem with portion control and eat entirely too much. A hypnotherapist will first ask you to explain your childhood. The subconscious is generally formed during the childhood years and are often related to family influences, such as harboring guilt on wasted food and so on. 

When you can relate to an issue and feel that that could be the potential cause, the hypnotherapist will put you under hypnosis and access the subconscious mind to change the habit. If the reason is wasted food, the hypnotherapist will alter the thought to something more positive, such as “getting rid of food is perfectly acceptable” and “I eat as much as I require.”

Hypnosis puts thoughts and images into the subconscious, which the subconscious cannot detect as influenced or fake. The subconscious will take the idea in as a real feeling and start to adapt based on the change. Patients that come out of hypnosis feel as though the change they made is of their own influence and doing because the response is so natural. 

When we get stuck on some issue, most of us are conditioned to “think” even harder! Now- to some extent that may make sense. But the criteria to deciding which approach we should take, should depend on the problem at hand.

​Some problems are purely empirical. Then in that case, it may make sense to “think” more- after all, our mind is the best tool we have that can think thru, analyze and come up with amazing solutions. BUT, if we are looking for creative ways to address a scenario, then “thinking” will not help; since by the vey construct of the mind, it is limited by the information that it contains and how it processes that information.

Look at it this way- let’s say, you and I are both equally intelligent and have similar thinking capabilities. But you are very knowledgeable since you are a voracious reader and an avid traveller- knowing about various life experiences, which I don’t even know can exist! The phrase “we don’t know what we don’t know” is very true when it comes to evaluating mind’s capabilities and limitations.

Let’s say in this example that I have average knowledge with an average exposure to life experiences and we both are presented the same non-empirical problem- since your mind has many more previously input knowledge/information- it will be able to evaluate and analyze the situation more comprehensively than me and also come up with a ‘supposedly innovative” solution. With my limited (average) knowledge/information I would be no match for it. The reason I am writing “supposedly innovative” since your mind is still limited by its own bounds- it may have a much larger boundary than for me or most other folks- but still it is limited and anything you come up with from the mind is bound within those experiences, those parameters. 
 
That is why to be truly innovative, we need to go beyond the mind and access that something- from which, from where, everything is created! It is the energy that nature goes to, and it is the same energy nature utilizes to ensure each of its creation however small is created in perfection. That is why it becomes important to learn to quell the mind and go beyond the mind in a calm presence, so that we can get insights which can help us to obtain true, deep and comprehensive understanding into a situation. This in turn will allow you to really “think outside the box” and be innovative in your solution ideas.

​Magnetic bracelets are believed to enhance blood circulation. The iron content in the blood cells gets influenced by the magnetic field produced by these magnets. This eventually balances proper blood circulation, which in turn helps to relieve muscle pain and stiffness.

This healing effect has proven to be a miracle for patients of arthritis and other chronic pain conditions.   Most people agree that magnetic bracelets have helped them by reducing their pain and suffering, though how this reduction is exactly brought about is still a mystery! 

Magnet bracelets have also shown their healing effect in relaxing brain muscles. They seem to restore our body's natural energy field. One can use magnetic therapy to address daily stress as well as tension and for an overall sense of relaxed wellbeing.

When it comes to physical treatment using magnetic substances, Gemstone Healers & Crystal Therapists have used hematite, which is a natural iron ore. It is believed to encourage absorption of iron, which in turn helps to maintain proper oxygen supply into the body and aids with smoother blood flow. Hence it is believed that Hematite can offer a sort-of ‘shield’ from emotional stress and negative energies. 

In addition, researchers suggest that wearing a magnetic bracelet with the negative pole facing the wrist benefits the wearer by balancing their blood pH. This is supposed to discourage growth of microorganisms, increase blood oxygenation as well as help with reducing free radicals in the blood stream. Because of this, the researchers believe that wearing a magnetic bracelet can help one to stay calm and feel relaxed.

As per the studies conducted on around 194 patients suffering from osteoarthritis affecting their knee and hip, it was found that their pain was reduced by using standard magnetic bracelets.
​
The best part of wearing a magnetic bracelet is that even though it provides all these healing benefits, it does not feel like a ‘therapeutic aid’! From practical as well as aesthetic standpoint, it typically looks like a jewelry bracelet and so, one can obtain these helpful benefits while also making a unique fashion statement showcasing their natural lifestyle.

​Rune Oracle is one of the ancient oracle divination methods. 

Before the Germanic peoples of ancient Western Europe possessed a true alphabet, they used pictorial symbols to carve into stones, all their thoughts and ideas. These glyphs were called Runes, from the Gothic Runa, meaning 'a secret thing, a mystery.' 

Runes have been utilized for a long time as a way to tap into one’s own psyche for spiritual evolution and also as a divination tool. 

Way to access the oracle:
One can ask a question while holding a pouch of runes and then pick out the one which feels ‘right' and interpret the answer.

Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese Art of Placement which brings about harmony and balance in an individual's life- thus leading to a sense of relaxation and well-being. The adepts at Feng Shui claim that the environment plays a very important role in a person's life and state of mental and physical health. The person becomes like their environment.

​Hence if the environment is peaceful and full of joy, a person living there would also feel content and well and along the same lines, if the environment is full of discord and disharmony, then the person would feel uneasiness which would further lead to not only states of deprivation but also states of mental and physical diseases.

In Feng Shui, we find that incense is predominantly used for the following four important purposes-

1. Incense is used to cleanse and purify the environment/room space.
2. Incense is also used to clear and uplift the "air" in one's environment/room space.
3. Incense is also used in Feng Shui to bring about balance and harmony to the environment in a room.
4. As an offering to the deity at the prayer altar.

Typically, we find Feng Shui incense which represent the five elements-  Earth, Wood, Metal, Fire and Water. According to Feng Shui each of these five elements have an optimum location in the room/home space and they also need to be maintained in a particular balance to create health and harmony. Such Feng Shui Incenses help by bringing about balancing of these elemental energies.

The other type of Feng Shui incense deal with the type of outcome one currently seeks in their life. Examples of such type of incense are the ones called health, prosperity, recognition, love etc.

Some of the Feng Shui incense are also based on the principles of Chinese Astrology along with the Chinese Art of Placement fundamentals.

Thus, we find extensive incense usage in Feng Shui to balance the energies of a room, which in turn brings about a sense of health, wealth and well-being.

​Dance therapy, or movement therapy, is the use of one’s body movement to help with various issues of health, whether is it is a physical or mental issue. It is practiced in a number of settings such as centers and hospitals. It allows for us to focus solely on connecting the mind and body, which has numerous beneficial effects on our health and recovery. It is a form of expressive therapy that has been found to lower stress levels and raise self-esteem. 

Aside from its mental benefits, dance therapy also helps improve strength in the muscles, mobility, coordination and eases tension in the body. It allows the patients to move around, which is good for the body, and express themselves through dance, which is good for the mind. It is commonly used to treat patients that are dealing with issues of self-esteem or body image. 

Therapists are able to observe their client and help them improve their sense of self through dance. This leads to better skills of communication and opens the door for clients to become more confident in themselves. It is one of the types of therapy that can be performed in a group, which is why they are often available at nursing homes, centers of rehabilitation, educational and day care centers. 

It is no secret that being able to express oneself is a healing step towards overcoming distressing experiences.

Dance therapy is effective in healing because it encourages the combined use of the body, mind and expression in order to let go of underlying pain. It is especially beneficial for those who are not comfortable or confident in communicating vocally.

Various traumas that dance therapy can help us to overcome include posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, eating disorders, anxiety, identity loss and addictions. Many of these traumas leave either the body or mind feeling broken. These experiences tend to be kept in our memory through visuals or feelings, which can be quite difficult to put into words.

Therefore, dance therapy can allow us to express the pain or feelings in another way, allowing for healing to begin. Dance therapy aims to make the client comfortable in their own body and in social circumstances, to overcome memories related to a traumatic experience and to reset their attitude and relationships in life.  The idea is to be able to express yourself in a supported environment, which has a profound effect on body image and ability to trust and have healthy and meaningful relationships.

​Thought field therapy is used to relieve patients of varying degrees of trauma. It is a technique that can be used by anyone and is easy to use. It was founded and researched by a psychologist named Dr. Roger Callahan. It is extremely useful in aiding healing and relieving suffering that is caused by any type of trauma, such as violent experiences, natural disasters, abuse, loss, and illnesses. 

The first step of the therapy is to think about the traumatic event and to see the feelings that come up. Then you must rate the feelings on a scale of one to ten. With ten being the absolute worst feeling imaginable and one being of no significance. After a rating has been given, you will begin to tap the side of your hand using two to four fingers of the other hand. 

The tapping treats meridian points (like those used in acupuncture) and augments other techniques as well. It is done in a specific order.

The tapping then moves to under the nose, followed by the beginning of the eyebrow, under the eye (more gently), under the arm (about half way down the side of the body), the collar bone point (which is found by moving down the neck towards the V section then one inch over to either side of the chest), the little finger (on either hand – but on the side facing the thumb) towards the tip, the collar bone point again, index finger towards the tip (again on the side facing the thumb) and once again on the collar bone point. 

After this, you make a fist using the hand and follow between the knuckles between the middle finger and ring finger and keep tapping it for a longer period of time than the other spots. Then you must close your eyes, whilst continuing the tapping, then open them and look down to the left and down to the right. You follow this by looking in a full circle towards the left and then a full circle towards the right. 

You will them hum any tune you can think of for a short period of time (such as a bar in a song), then count 1-2-3-4-5 and begin humming again. The tapping is then repeated at the eyebrow spot, underneath the eye, under the arm, the collar bone point and the tip of the little finger, the collar bone point again, the tip of the index finger, the collar bone point and then you can finish. After doing this complete cycle once you can reassess the feelings of distress. If it has gone down, then you will repeat the cycle until the feelings stop alleviating. 

If at any point during the cycle you miss a step or have to restart, it is believed as safe to do so.
