Reiki

Reiki is a system created in Japan in the early 1900s to support you on a journey of self discovery.  It is expressed as a hands on healing modality where the practitioner channels life energy through their hands, healing the mind, body and spirit.  It is excellent for stress, illness or for a relaxing and healthy way to re-energise yourself.

When the spirit is energised, the body responds in a positive way and is then reflected in our emotional, physical and spiritual aspects.  If you have a highly stressful job or life, then Reiki is for you.  Stress requires a rebalancing of our emotional state to one of calm and peace.  One of the ways this is achieved is through regular Reiki treatments either weekly or monthly.   Reiki is the perfect way to relax and remove any tensions within the head and body.  If tensions or stress is left unattended our energy levels drop which then affects our immune system making it harder and less likely to resist illness and disease.  Reiki is one of the ways you can rebalance and re-energise yourself allowing your body to do what it does naturally - and that is heal itself!

Nikki studied at the International House of Reiki based in Sydney where she learnt a unique style of Reiki called Usui Reiki Ryoho.  Frans and Bronwen Steine, the founders of International House of Reiki, were the first teachers of this traditional Japanese form of Reiki in Australia.  It is a system that was taught in Japan before it hit the West in 1938 and became associated with the new age movement in the 1980s.  If you are interested in the history of Reiki, click here.  Also the International House of Reiki have written many books on the subject and have loads of information about Reiki on their website.

Reiki can also be used for a specific issue or health problem and can be discussed with the client prior to treatment.  A session lasts for one hour.  The client is fully clothed and lying down.  Also your Aura will be cleansed with one of our Lotus Temple sprays during the treatment.

Chakra Balancing

The day to day grind of everyday living can be quite stressful so Chakra Balancing can provide us with a way of being calm and relaxed and connect to the vastness within.  This is the key to a happy and healthy life.  What is a chakra?  The Chakras are the seven primary energy centres in the human body, having first been mentioned in the Vedas, ancient Hindu texts.

These Chakras are themselves made of energy and are responsible for directing the flow of energy throughout our bodies.  Our Chakras may be either open or closed, depending on our mental and spiritual state at any given time.

While you cannot actually see the Chakras, they are an important part of every human being and vital to our physical, mental and spiritual well-being.

They are located along a line running from the top of the head to the base of the spine and each is associated with a different part of the body.  Each feeling that we have and how we manage our lives in different areas can be related to a certain Chakra.  For instance, our base or root chakra relates to money and security, so if this is blocked or the flow of energy is slow here, then difficulties will arise in this area of our life.  When our Chakras are out of balance, or we lose connection to the vastness within; this can lead to physical illness if left untreated.

When your Chakras are working at the correct frequency, then mind, body and spirit can work together harmoniously and this will be reflected in your life.

To regain or maintain health, Chakra balancing is required periodically.  A session is $100 (60 minutes) and the client is lying down fully clothed.  To book simply call Nikki on 0412 832 009 or send an email to Nikki.

Dream Analysis

As part of the counselling process, dream analysis can provide insight and understanding to a person's state of conscious and sub-conscious minds.  There are several different types of dreams which allow the practitioner to see into the client's state of mind to help them overcome difficulties they are experiencing in their everyday life.  Dreams can often be symbolic, giving us messages to guide us in the right direction.  The practitioner is able to decipher these messages received in dreams and enable the client to see the message clearly.  Dreams will relate to any issues the client is currently experiencing.  In analysing your dreams, you can learn about your deep secrets and hidden feelings.  It is recommended that you start a dream journal, recording your dreams as soon as you wake up in the morning.  Every detail, even the most minute element in your dream is important and must be considered when analysing your dreams.  Each symbol represents a feeling, a mood, a memory or something from your unconscious.  Look closely at the characters, animals, objects, places, emotions and even colour and numbers that are depicted in your dreams.  Even the most trivial symbol can be significant.   If you are unable to learn the meaning of your dreams yourself,  SHC provide a dream analysis service which not helps you to understand what your dreams mean but show you how to resolve the issue(s) the dream is about if required.  Also our waking life is a kind of dream if we totally identify with the conscious mind and the things or objects around us as true or real.  Learn ways to give your waking life space and stillness to see your true nature.

Sessions are $100 for 60 minutes.  To book your session today call Nikki on 0412 832 009 or send an email to Nikki.
