Hair Analysis Australia

Hair Analysis Australia- Hair analysis is a screening test that measures the nutrient and toxic mineral content of the hair. During hair growth, chemical residues, toxins, drugs, heavy metals and radiation all present themselves in the hair fibre protein. Hair stores these chemicals as a permanent record, similar to the rings of a tree. A three inch hair strand will give a 6 month history as to what’s going on in the body. For this reason hair provides a better indication of the body stores in comparison to blood or urine.

Hair Analysis can be used to identify the root of an illness. It is especially useful when the illness seems to be a mystery. Hair Analysis can identify specific chemical toxins within the human body, as well as the vitamin and mineral deficiencies caused by them. Potentially toxic elements and levels of essential elements necessary for normal body function can all be identified in the laboratory analysis.

Some indicators of early signs of metabolic disturbances that may lead to serious problems if ignored are:
White spots in the nails, stretch marks, and lack of nail growth can indicate a possible zinc deficiency
Longitudinal ridging in the nails may indicate an iron deficiency
Brittle hair and nails can show calcium and copper imbalance
Autistic behaviours and mood swings linked to possible toxic metal accumulation like lead, mercury, or cadmium.
A Hair tissue mineral analysis will help detect these early warning signs, helping to prevent potential illnesses and health problems.

Bach Flower Remedies Australia

Bach Flower Remedies Australia-
Bach flower remedies were developed by Dr Edward Bach in the 1930’s. These remedies are different to conventional medicine in the way that they work on balancing the emotions of the individual rather than physically treating the problem.

Dr Bach believed that disease is the result of imbalance between mind, body and soul. Thirty eight remedies were developed by Dr Bach which are prepared from wild flowers and tree blossoms. Rescue Remedy is probably the best known Bach remedy which is believed to relieve stress, anxiety and panic attacks. The flower remedies have been divided into 7 groups of fundamental emotions.

The aim of the Bach flower remedies is to balance negative emotions by turning them into positive emotions before physical problems appear. Different theories have been suggested as to how the Bach flowers actually restore out of balance emotions, one being that they actually change our energy vibration.

Bach Flower Remedies are taken as 2 to 4 drops in a glass of water 4 times a day, or as advised by practitioner .

Australian Bush Flower Essences

Australian Bush Flower Essences- The healing properties of flowers have been used for thousands of years by the Australian Aborigines and the ancient Egyptians, as well as many other cultures around the world. In the 15th Century Paracelsus treated emotional imbalances with dew collected from plants. Dr Edward Bach re-discovered the healing properties of English plants 60 years ago with his Bach Flower Essences.

Australian Bush Flower Essences were developed by Naturopath Ian White – a 5th generation Australian herbalist, who is continuing the research into these amazing essences to suit the needs of today’s society.

Australia is the oldest continent on the Earth, with the oldest flowering plants, grown on the oldest soil. It is the ‘old energy’ of this land, along with the healing properties of the Australian flowers that are combined to create the unique Australian Bush Flower Remedies. Practitioners world wide are incorporating these essences into their healing practices.

Australian Bush Flower Essences work on the state of mind, and the emotional level. They help us to find courage, strength and commitment to ones life and dreams. They help us to develop intuition, self esteem, spirituality, creativity and fun. The more they are used the larger the benefits.

Australian Bush Flower Essences enable a person to access the wisdom of their Higher Self, promoting wellbeing and the positive feelings of love, peace and joy, similar to meditation.

Feng Shui Australia

Feng Shui Australia- Feng Shui literally means wind and water, the wind disperses the invisible life energy and the water contains it. Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese philosophy which determines how you can structure and position the items that make up your living space to attain maximum benefits in terms of health, wealth, mental peace, job satisfaction and spiritual fulfillment.

Basically, it is understanding the relationship between nature and ourselves so that we can live in harmony with our environment. It is believed that living with nature rather than against it, benefits humans and our environment.

Our lives are affected by our physical and emotional environment. If we continually surround ourselves with symbols of death and ugliness toward life and nature, it will be detrimental to our well being. On the other hand if we surround ourselves with gentleness and kindness we ourselves become more at one with our natural environment.

Energy Healing Sunshine Coast & Australia

Energy Healing Sunshine Coast & Australia. We are all made up of energy, as is everything in the Universe. Even our thoughts and emotions are energy. This energy vibrates at a certain speed depending on the object. The higher the vibrations the harder it is for us to see with our physical eyes, this is why we cannot see the spirit-world, spirit is the highest vibration of all. Nothing that we see is solid, it appears solid because it is vibrating so fast. Our body and every organ in the human body has its own natural healthy vibratory rate called a ‘resonance’. When our body part vibrates out of resonance it creates dis-ease.

There are four energy systems of the body, they are the Chakra, Meridian, Aura and the Nadis. These energy systems are connected to the organs and glands of the physical body. When energy to an area becomes disrupted, the organs etc are less able to defend themselves against disease. Stress is a warning sign that the energy systems are disturbed, if no notice is taken of this warning signal the imbalance will continue and the end result is illness or disease in the physical body. Disease is the signal to change what is not working harmoniously in our life.

Imbalances and blockages in the energy systems are caused by traumatic experiences, limiting beliefs about ourselves, anxiety, stress, toxins, bad nutrition, posture, lack of exercise, remaining in a situation that is not harmonious for our soul, or anything that causes us to feel negative emotions.

ENERGY HEALING is the umbrella that all healing practices focusing on the body’s energy systems applies to. There are many therapies that belong in this category. Some of the more commonly known practices are Reiki, Spiritual Healing, Kinesiology, Thought Field Therapy, Emotional Freedom Therapy, Reflexology, Acupuncture, Aura and Chakra Balancing, Crystal Healing, Colour Therapy, Sound Therapy, Flower essences, Aromatherapy and Vibrational Therapy. Often two or more of these therapies will be combined together.

All of these therapies work toward re-establishing the proper and correct vibratory frequencies for the body. They consider the energy within and around the physical body and by correcting this, facilitate the innate healing process of the body. If we keep the body frequency high enough and well oxygenated, we will be free of disease.

Emotional Freedom Technique Sunshine Coast

Emotional Freedom Technique Sunshine Coast- What Is EFT?

We all have a complex system of energy circuits that run throughout our bodies which are called Meridians. You know the energy is there but it cannot be seen.

Our unresolved negative emotions are major contributors to most physical pains and diseases which cause our energy system to become imbalanced. This is where Emotional Freedom Technique comes in. It is a type of acupuncture, but without the needles, which is performed by tapping the fingertips on certain established meridian points within the body, resulting in the correction of any imbalances.

Pinpointing a certain negative event in your life that may be causing a block can speed up the process. Instead of taking months or years of using conventional talk therapy, EFT can often work in one or two sessions. You will start to see how physical ailments begin to fade. Addictions are no longer there, vision improved and so on.

EFT is a wonderful therapy for anyone wishing to enhance their life. It has had amazing results, sometimes instantly, with emotional and physical conditions including headaches, back pain, fears and phobias, trauma, depression, grief, schizophrenia and a huge range of physical illnesses from the common cold to cancer. Emotional Freedom Technique has had positive results where other therapies have failed to make a difference.

The EFT procedure is carried out as the client is seated, clothing remains on.

Crystal Therapy Sunshine Coast

Crystal Therapy Sunshine Coast- Crystal Therapy is the ancient practise of using gems, stones and crystals to enhance mental, spiritual and physical healing. Some believe it dates back to the ancient civilizations of Atlantis or even Lemuria.

The powerful energies of the crystals have a positive affect on any imbalances in the human energy field, which in turn promotes healing of the physical body, mind and spirit. Each chakra resonates to a particular colour. The crystal’s vibrations and the person’s own vibrations interact, creating energy flow and with this, the releasing of physical and emotional blocks.

During a Crystal Therapy session the client will lay, fully clothed, on a couch or massage table. The therapist will ask a series of questions and assess the condition of the client’s energy field before choosing which crystals will best bring the aura back into balance. Small stones are then placed on and around the body at the chakra points and meridians. The practitioner will channel healing energy while the crystals are working their magic.

Crystal Therapy works in conjunction with the body’s own innate healing system. When the Aura is balanced the body is able to effectively heal itself.

Base Chakra – jasper, garnet, onyx, rubies
Sacral Chakra – hematite, moonstone
