Neuromuscular Therapy for Health & Wellness (Introduction to Alternative Therapies- Natural Healing series)

4/7/2022

0 Comments

 
Neuromuscular therapy is a method of therapy that is a combination of neuro, which refers to the neurological system, and muscular, which deals with the muscular system.

​A highly trained therapist performs neuromuscular therapy, or a massage, on both the muscular and skeletal system by using “trigger points”. Trigger points are areas on the body that aren’t visible, but are very sensitive to touch. They trigger pain in other places that would seemingly appear to be unrelated. 
 
An example of this is the trapezius muscle, the back’s most superficial muscle, which has a trigger point above the shoulder. When it is pressed, it activates a pathway that travels from the point towards the back of the ear, past the head and down through the eye’s corner. 
Picture
Trigger points have various causes. One cause can be that the muscle is receiving inadequate oxygen supply, which is due to the lack of blood and nutrients in the muscle. Reasons for inadequate circulation include lack of calcium, vitamin C, iron, and phosphorous. If your body is lacking in any of these nutrients then it is quite noticeable that muscles become stiff after exercise, because there is not enough blood flow to move through the muscles.
 
When the blood flow is not enough, the lactic acid builds up due to daily life stress and exercise and keeps building until the muscle is completely sore. 
 
Another reason for a trigger point is injury, such as muscle, cartilage or bone injury, which can hinder nerves. Yet another is anxiety, depression or poor posture. Anxiety and depression are often noticeable through poor posture, because it causes us to slouch and refrain from standing upright. When our posture is disturbed, for whatever reason, the muscles and nerves are prone to suffering. 
 
The objective of neuromuscular therapists is to relieve pain and improve posture by performing massages and other techniques that promote muscle looseness and restore blood flow to the affected areas.  The first step during a session is to have a consultation with the therapist and explain your symptoms and worries. The therapist will then observe your posture and decide how to correct the issue. 
 
Each person requires a unique approach to treat their concerns and to regain good posture and minimize associated pains. The therapist applies their hands on the trigger points and applies pressure to release tightness from tissues.

​Neuromuscular therapy is ideal for those who are suffering from neck, back, shoulder, hip, leg and arm pains, which can cause other illnesses to occur if they remain untreated.

Emotional Freedom Technique for Health & Wellness (Introduction to Alternative Therapies- Natural Healing series)

4/7/2022

0 Comments

 
​Emotional freedom technique, or EFT as it is often abbreviated, is a method of healing that is comparable to acupuncture. The major difference between EFT and acupuncture is that EFT does not require the use of needles and can be self-practiced. EFT also does not take a long period of time to learn, which makes it applicable to the learner’s life soon after learning the techniques. It is typically used to combat stress and to remove negative or destructive feelings.
 
It is a method that is sometimes called “psychological acupressure”. This is because it helps by removing blocks in our system of energy, which is the reason that negative feelings, such as discomfort, arise. When the energy system within our bodies is blocked, we have a hard time dealing with emotions and this often prohibits life from continuing in a joyful manner for a certain period of time.  
Picture
​Symptoms of blockage can include physical or emotional issues, lowered self-esteem and confidence, feelings of anxiousness and depression or the onset of unhealthy and addictive activities. Long-term issues with blockages can lead to a variety of illnesses or diseases.
 
In order to remove blockages and restore balance in the system, EFT uses techniques that involve the use of the tips of fingers instead of needles. The fingertips are meant to “tap” at certain points of our meridians of energy, which are located just below our skin surface. The treatment is mostly painless and is not invasive in any way.
 
These methods were introduced in the 90’s by Gary Craig and have taken off with practitioners, therapists and individuals all over the world. Some of the problems that EFT has helped treat include phobias, relief of both emotional and physical pains from abuse or traumatic events, harmful behaviors, depression, addictions, anxiety and a wide variety of illnesses.
 
It focuses primarily on encouraging the body and mind to heal themselves and to take care of issues from within, which is why many of those who practice EFT receive fast and desirable results. It is a powerful and effective method of self-healing that gives the power to the individuals that are willing to learn the techniques. 
 
EFT starts by asking the healer to picture and define unconstructive issues or emotions that may be the cause of pain or issues. They are then asked to choose a number between 0 and 10 to describe the intensity of the problem, with 10 being the worst.  The methods to apply after this initial stage can be found online through various resources such as articles or videos. You can begin learning EFT whenever you feel like it.

Hypnotherapy- How can you benefit from this natural method of wellbeing...  (Introduction to Alternative Therapies- Natural Healing series)

7/25/2021

​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. 
Picture
​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.

What is Thought Field Therapy? How can you benefit from this natural method of wellbeing...  (Introduction to Alternative Therapies- Natural Healing series)

​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. 
Picture
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.

What is Regression Therapy? (Introduction to Alternative Therapies- Natural Healing series)

3/13/2021

0 Comments

 
Regression therapy allows patients to tune into, understand and relieve experiences of the past that continue to affect our daily lives and attitudes in a negative way. Therapists of regression therapy get their patients to relive certain experiences that have been ignored, repressed or forgotten.

​These experiences tend to affect the individual’s life on a daily basis and hinder them from feelings of positivity as well as a healthy mind and body. It also encourages the discovery of positive past experiences. 
Picture
​Emotional wounds exist in all of us but in varying degrees. Some undergo severe trauma or negative experiences can forget and repress these memories, yet they affect the individual in the current state. Despite the patients desire to overcome or bury these feelings, they are often incapable of doing so. This is when regression therapy is most applicable and beneficial. It is considered a form of transpersonal psychotherapy.
 
Regression therapy encourages the patients to explain, understand and let go of negative memories, or to alter their memory into one that is more positive and less destructive. It is an extremely emotional journey that can offer the patient a new view on life and change their lives for the better.
 
Some negative experiences that affect us to this day can even stem from the experience of being the womb or being brought into the world during birth. Some even claim to feel that they are emotionally wounded from a past life. Regardless of how far back the emotional pain dates back, regression therapy can help. More common causes of emotional imbalance include family history and upraising.
 
Due to the vast subject nature of regression therapy, it is no surprise that regression therapists must be skilled and open-minded individuals. A good regression therapist can restore emotional health to a patient in a much shorter time span than medication or traditional behavioral therapy can. Instead of providing insight into the specific relationships that could be the cause of pain, therapists aim to find the moments in which the feelings are most profound.
 
They allow their patients to explore their minds, memory and emotion without judgment or rationality. They primarily deal with feelings and emotions and stray from imagination.

Regression therapists have a unique way of detecting themes in explanations and finding out truths behind these feelings. Tools of regression therapy include hypnosis, inner child work and Gestalt methods. It is best used with patients that have deep emotional problems that are often seemingly unexplainable. 

Note:   Please note that such Regression Therapy does not have to involve past-life analysis, though some practitioners do offer  both the service.

    Our Journey to "Oneness" 

    It is a journey and like all journeys, it is set with many moments of challenges and accomplishments. 

    But when one's heart is true and the decision is made to "be the best that one can be", then each challenge merely seems like a stepping stone, to be overcome to reach and experience new heights of existential living.

    Hope you find these notes inspiring enough to initiate your own journey...

    Here you will find thoughts, ideas, musings and  insights which make us reflect on the nature of our life and reality. I hope that these will connect with you. 


    These articles address the various insights, lessons and at times modern-interpretations of techniques and methods of ancient wisdom (particularly Vedic Culture) and also Shamanism, Buddhism, Druid- Paganism, Sufi Islam and Taoism. 

    It tries to bring the wisdom of ancient, insightful ways to benefit a modern, evolving and conscious lifestyle.

    Frankly it brings many of the spiritual concepts to  a "real  life" level!!
