REFLEXOLGY
WHAT IS REFLEXOLOGY?
Foot and Hand Reflexology is based on the premise that there are zones and reflex areas in the feet and hands which correspond
to all body parts.
The physical act of applying specific pressures using thumb, finger and hand techniques, performed without oils, lotions or
creams result in stress reduction causing a physiological change in the body.
WHAT IS A TREATMENT LIKE?
Both patient and reflexologist must be positioned comfortably to ensure maximum relaxation. Usually, a reclining position
is preferred by the patient. A reflexologist will usually work on the bare feet, but if this is not possible, the treatment
can be given on the hands.
Beginning with the right foot, all reflex points on both feet are always stimulated as the body is considered to be a whole
unit, the pressure applied varying with each person.
CAN REFLEXOLOGY MAKE A CONDITION WORSE?
No, it will not make any condition more acute. FOOT REFLEXOLOGY helps nature to normalize body functions. A Foot Reflexology
series relaxes the stress that can affect your health. It is a safe effective way to Better Health.
RELEASE OF TENSION
Stress cannot be avoided, we live with it every day. A days work, playing sports or giving a dinner party can be stressful
but also exhilarating and fun. Stress becomes a problem when we fail to manage it well, especially the stress that results
from problems, frustrations, overwork and worry. When we don't handle stress well, the body's defences breakdown and you become
more susceptible to illness. Reflexology reduces stress by generating deep tranquil relaxation.
IMPROVES CIRCULATION
We all know how important it is for blood to flow freely through the body carrying oxygen and nutrients to all the cells in
the body and removing waste products and toxins. Stress and tension tighten up the cardiovascular system and restrict blood
flow. Circulation becomes sluggish. By reducing stress and tension, Reflexology allows the cardiovascular vessels to conduct
the flow of blood naturally and easily.
HISTORY OF REFLEXOLOGY
When mankind went barefoot, walking on sand or uneven ground was a partial reflexology treatment.
India, China, Egypt, etc., practiced reflexology thousands of years ago.
When we put on shoes we lost direct contact with the earth and were no longer grounded to it. We lost the natural exchange
between the body's electrical currents and those of the earth.
Nervous people pace back and forth; wring their hands; rub hands together; bite their nails and some even handle worry beads
and/or rocks. Unknowingly they are relieving tensions by working the reflexes.
Disease is created by stress. Stress is removed with reflexology, thereby aiding optimal health.

| A Healing Advantage |
Jane DalingBSc - Bachelor of Science - PsychologyCCHt - Certified Clinical HypnotherapistRM - Reiki Master
Hypnosis is known to most of us through the world of entertainment. We've seen stage hypnotists in action making their
subjects bark like dogs and cluck like chickens. Even amazingly imaginative feats like becoming ridged like a board and being
hung on the back of a chair. The power of your imagination only needs to be harnessed to produce the impossible.
Have you ever daydreamed, or gone on a trip and all of a sudden you are at your destination? Where did the time go and
where did your mind go? In both cases you were in an informal trance state that is called self-hypnosis. Hypnosis is a normal
natural state of mind that happens many times every day. Another example of our daily trip into the alpha state is at night
in bed, just before falling asleep.
We can enter alpha in numerous ways: staring out the window while daydreaming, getting lost in a good book, sitting in
Church engrossed in a sermon, listening to music, or whenever we find our imaginations running freely.
What will I experience?
Your hypnotherapist will take you through a full body relaxation and hypnosis exercise. During this you may feel light
and airy as though you were floating, heavy like a lump of lead with arms or legs so heavy you don't want to move them, your
eyes may water, or your lids may flutter, and you will feel profoundly relaxed. Any or all of these physical signs accompany
hypnosis. Even your ability to imagine is enhanced, memory is enhanced, and creativity is enhanced.
Above all, the total relaxation of your whole experience will allow your major organs and glands to work in perfect harmony.
Just the way they were created to work. Your blood pressure will be lower. Your hormone levels will come back to normal. All
of these things will make you feel absolutely wonderful and mellow. Able to cope with anything that comes your way. And the
next few nights you may sleep like a baby, without a care in the world.
Since the re-introduction of hypnosis into Western Medicine they have discovered there are many varied uses that hypnosis
can be safely applied. Now, not only physical trauma but also emotional trauma can be handled with relative speed and ease.
Those of you who have been in counselling, for any sort of abuse, know how long some of this needs to be dealt with. With
hypnosis even severe sexual abuse as a youngster can be handled in a matter of weeks so the adult client can get on with their
life.
Anger and/or Stress managements are two more areas that can be handled quickly and successfully with hypnosis. Many have
heard how the stresses in our lives affect not only blood pressure but the whole condition of our health. Learning a few simple
techniques for self-hypnosis you can relieve the stress instantly returning to a more calm state, handling situations with
intellect rather than reacting with emotion. This also works for phobias and fears.
Simply learning a few self-hypnosis techniques can reduce the stress of Childbirth, Medical & Dental procedures. Being
more relaxed will allow the pain control drugs to be more effective. You can even decrease the time it takes to heal.
Old habits have also benefitted from hypnosis. Any of you that have used hypnosis to quit smoking or lose weight will
know how successful this can be. Those who have tried it and have failed may need a small amount of help for the emotional
needs satisfied by either of the habits. The many Quick Fix Hypnoses programs that sail through town address mostly superficial
roots to these habits. If you are one of these persons who have tried a hypnosis program but need a little more, call and
in a session or two we can address the deeper needs.
Many professionals in sports, business and other walks of life have used hypnosis to improve performance - you can to!
A short hypnosis program, many times just a session or two, can also improve a student's grades and study habits. Find out
the reasons behind any of your self-sabotage and rewrite a new healthier script for your life. Self improvement of all types
lends itself well to the uses of hypnosis.

AROMATHERAPY
WHAT IS AROMATHERAPY?
Essential oils are the vital life essence of aromatic plants and flowers in a condensed form. Aromatherapy is the use of essential
oils for therapeutic effects. Essential oils have been revered for their fragrance and their restorative effects on the body,
mind, and spirit for thousands of years.
ESSENTIAL OIL BLEND
Pure essential oils are blended for harmonious, combined effect and fragrance. Skillful blending balances the therapeutic
effect and aromatic quality of individual essential oils. Ancient Healing Art creates balanced blends to promote:
·calmness
·emotional and hormonal balance
·stress relief
·rejuvenation, and more.
HOW DOES AROMATHERAPY WORK?
The scent of essential oils is conveyed by the olfactory nerve to areas of the brain that can influence emotions and hormonal
response.
When used in a bath or massage, the oils are absorbed through the skin and carried by body fluids to the main body systems;
such as the nervous and muscular systems for a healing effect.
WAYS TO BENEFIT FROM AROMATHERAPY
·by breathing the aromatic vapors using an aroma diffuser or air freshener
·by absorbing diluted oils through the skin in a bath or massage
WAYS TO USE ESSENTIAL OILS
There are many ways to use essential oils for their fragrance and balancing properties. The proportions given for diluting
essential oils are a guideline and you can adjust them to your preference. The key is - a little goes a long way. One drop
of essential oil is often equal to one ounce of the plant.
Aromatic Effect
The simple, no frills way to use essential oils is to take the cap off the bottle and breathe deeply. It's most effective
and you can use it anytime and anywhere.
An aroma diffuser has a small container that is filled with water and heated usually by a candle. Add 6-10 drops of an essential
oil to water in the bowl of an aroma diffuser. The aromatic vapors of the essential oils are diffused as the water is heated.
Create a natural air freshener to enhance moods or freshen the air at home, work or in the car. Add 50-75 drops of an essential
oil to 2 ounces of pure water in a mist spray bottle. Shake well before spraying into the air.
Add 25 drops of an essential oil to a potpourri that has lost its scent. Or create your own potpourri by adding drops of an
essential oil to dried leaves, flowers, etc. Mix together in a container, cover tightly and store for several days to allow
the potpourri material to absorb the essential oils.
Direct inhalation of the aromatic vapors can be useful for quick effect of the essential oils and to help breathing Add 8
drops of an essential oil to a bowl of hot water, place a towel over your head, and breathe deeply for about 5 minutes.
A nebuliser type diffuser is a device which continuously disperses minute particles of essential oils into the air at high
pressure. Follow diffuser manufacturer instructions for adding essential oils.
Bath
Fill bath: Add 8-15 drops of an essential oil to the tub after the water has finished running. Stir the water to mix the oils
evenly. It is best not to use soap - simply the essential oils. Baths are very effective as you breathe the vapors and absorb
the oils through the skin.
Foot or hand bath: Add 4-5 drops of an essential oil to a container filled with warm water and stir the water to mix the oils.
Soak feet or hands and relax.
Jacuzzi: Add 3 drops per person (6 drops if only one person) of an essential oil to the Jacuzzi water before getting in.
Massage
Create your own massage oil by adding up to 18 drops of an essential oil to 1 oz of pure vegetable oil, such as jojoba, grapeseed
or almond. For children use only 6 drops of an essential oil per 1 oz of a carrier oil. The massage oil can be used for a
full massage or spot massage at pressure points for quick effect.
Compress
Add 6 drops of an essential oil to a bowl of hot or cold water. Submerse a cloth in the water, wring it out and place it on
the area needing healing. Hot compresses are useful for muscular pain and cramp relief and cold compresses are useful for
swelling or headache.
Shower
Add 4-8 drops of an essential oil to a wash cloth and rub briskly over your body after showering.
Create Your Own Perfume
Add 25 drops of an essential oil to 1 ounce of water in a mist spray bottle or to a carrier oil. Enjoy a rich fragrance and
harmonizing effects at the same time.
Disclaimer
Pure, concentrated plant extracts have been used for centuries and knowledge of their special properties has been collected
throughout many ages. We do not recommend use of aromatherapy as a substitute for medical care. Ancient Healing Art makes
no therapeutic claims and accepts no liability. We simply suggest traditional uses based on the wisdom of those who lived
in harmony with nature.
