Using Aromatherapy oils has many health benefits and a knowledge of Pressure Points combined with Aroma therapy oils can have dynamic health benefits. In our Wellness Toolkit we combined these two powerful ancient therapies to help address some common health issues.

Using Colour to Heal.

Crystals have healing properties. They are a part of Mother Nature’s bounty and can be used to help balance unsettled emotions.

Please use the charts provided for a full description of the Chakras and the corresponding colours, Crystals and meaning.

Drama is a useful tool for building confidence and increasing Self-Awareness.

When you engage in drama exercises, you are increasing the level of endorphins in your body. Endorphins are feel-good-chemicals which start in the brain and move through your nervous system.

In our Journaling sessions there were no rules of any kind simply thoughts and feelings onto paper or to be exact into the personal notebook supplied.

Themes  were various such as.

  • Recall a happy memory
  • ‘Do something for someone!’

Meditation benefits are that they calm the mind and uplift the spirit with positive energy so that your thinking is clearer.

This practice also relaxes the body so it’s best to do it at night-time, but they can be done at any time as long as you are in a quiet place.

 

Whether it’s a short walk around the park; a dance around your living room; or a short Tai Chi routine to boost your immune system our bodies thrive on any kind of physical activity.

Be kind to your body; don‘t push yourself beyond your limit, be aware of a how your back feels, how your neck feels; choose something that you enjoy.
