Mental health matters may need to be comprehended within the whole context of life. In order to do so a new comprehensive model for Psychotherapy is called for.  

 

A Comprehensive Psycho-Therapeutic Modality should recognize Man as a being with Soul and Spiritual dimensions, Human beings are not only physical, mechanical products of their environment, base urges, fate or our genes alone.

 

Rudolf Steiner, the Austrian reformist, architect, social-architect, philosopher, educator and founder of Waldorf Education, biodynamic farming methods and Anthroposophical healing modalities, founded a modality for Psychological application called Psychosophy.

According to Dr. Steiner, our store knowledge of the soul can increase due to our everlasting potential for self-development, enabling practical fruit bearing branches stemming from this original foundation.

This foundation for social reform was formulated by a human being whose mission it was to prepare and develop certain features of our soul life.

In some ways Dr. Rudolf Steiner was an advanced Guard of this foundation, laid for the future understanding and development of Soul related matters.

My mentor, Yehuda Tagar's life-work, Psychophonetics, grew out of this foundation which Steiner laid in the 19th Century.

Psychosophy, Anthroposophy and Pneumatosophy were intended as the study of the human soul, between body and spirit.

Psychosophy aims to develop ways of understanding our Soul life in a unique understanding not yet available through traditional Psychological methods.

Psychosophy strives to make the experiences of the soul conscious, and to develop higher senses and inner forces in harmonious relation to creative laws of the Human Organism.

This new Psychotherapy, which looks beyond the limits of the 5 senses, as described by Empirical science, is called Psychophonetics.

Psychophonetics incorporates the wisdom of gestures and sounds as they are stored within or resonate within our organs.

Every life experience is stored in the body.

 

The body is a tool for perceiving the physical world.

 

But first we need to understand what the body actually is.

 

Is the body only a physical organism or do we affect the subtler aspects of our energy body when we embody physical action? What is meant by the subtle body? These questions are deep mysteries.

The body is a chamber of Resonance.

 

Our awareness stretches beyond our skin,but also outward into the environment. Our environment is not only this earth but also the space that surrounds the earth.

 

Every experience, including the smell, sound, taste or feeling of the experience, lives in our soul and shapes our organs, in terms of their function as well as our ability to perceive.

"Our organs are not only organs of function, but also organs of perception". Rudolph Steiner.

The time has come to redirect and reincorporate this ever renewing wisdom because it is an essential aspect of Man’s Journey as a Spiritual and Material expression of Life.

Everything which leads to harmony favours optimal conditions for growth.

This may be why Dr. Rudolf Steiner incorporated Biodynamic farming and renewed educational methods in his comprehensive teaching of Anthroposophy, because he understood that everything is important, including where our food comes from and how we relate to the soil and the stars.​

What was once admirable and right for a person or a culture’s understanding of the soul and our development on earth, changes over time and may need to be reviewed in light of what serves the individual or cultural progress in connection with the community and the environment in fresh ways.

Psychophonetics offers an Integrative review of the landscape of the Inner Life in connection with the Environment.

 

Psychophonetics is a Sacred Meeting with the Soul, witnessed and facilitated by the Practitioner.

Psychophonetics is teamwork at its best, because it presents a doorway into the honesty which lies within the Inner Chamber of the Hearts of those who meet with this Intention.

Coaching sessions reconnect us to a vast store of cosmic intelligence, creativity, vitality and renews our sense of community.

The Role of the Counsellor is, firstly, to cultivate within him or herself a receptive mood of soul, which intends to take a deep, generous interest in others, to act from a spirit of generosity.

 

The role of the Counsellor is to be a compassionate listener who can identify, respond to, advocate for and protect the needs and interests of others. 

 

The Counsellor commits to paying attention to his or her own Spiritual wellbeing as the starting point for empathic responses to other humans, animals or communities.

Psychophonetics Counselling session may be experienced as a holy moment of meeting between people, it includes people of all religions and denominations and is thus inclusive without being dogmatic. 

Secondly, the role of the Counsellor is to enter a perpetual state of gratitude for the sacred meeting between people and the ripe opportunities for potential self-realization, which may present themselves during such meetings.

Thirdly, the role of the Counsellor is to be an Ecourager.

 

To encourage inner healing work, in a manner which serves the transformation of scars, pains, wounds, abuses, addictions or debilitations into strengths, resources and powers.

Debilitating influences may have their origin from past or recent biographical (or shall I say, bio-trap-ical) experiences of the client, or the community, or company or society,whichever the Counsellor serves.

Through Counselling, such wounds may be transformed into opportunities, strengths, courage, wisdom, compassion, originality, freed-thinking and creative problem solving for future independent endeavours. 

When meeting another human being, in an authentic (honest) manner, a human being prepared to show up with all their bare vulnerability and receptive for transformation, even the most extreme experiences of abuse and neglect may be transformed.

Meeting in this safe manner, courageously acknowledging or meeting our pain, our joy and everything in between, may reveal deep pearls of wisdom.

The soul longs for honesty in meeting and rejoices at the developments which may take place when honest teamwork does takes place.

Both Counsellor and the Client participate in acts of self-responsibility, maturity and demonstrate a clear intention and a deliberate act towards growth and spiritual-development, in service of greater global coherence.

A safe womb-like cocoon awaits you where you may experience the nourishment of healing touch.

 

From the head to the tips of the toes clients report experiencing sensations of "being put back together again".

Integrative, Therapeutic Touch (ITT) is a method I developed over a 30-year period.

 

At first only treating my children and immediate family and only later upon request, treating community members, I expanded my massage studies to develop Integrative Therapeutic Touch and transmitting healing energy, physical health and deep tissue nourishment.

 

I offer ITT (Integrative Therapeutic Touch) training for Therapists and individuals.

Integrative Therapeutic Touch is applied as Physical Therapy where the Therapist's body is the main tool for sensing, observing, rebalancing and re-energising the body of the client.

The client may melt into a receptive state and yield to the Therapist's touch.

During a Therapeutic Massage session Healing energy (Mana) may stream through the Therapist's body.

It is therefore imperative that Therapists take great care of their bodies and remain consciously connected to the Source of all Life in order to avoid blocking his or her healing channel and to always acknowledge that all healing comes from God.

The Therapist remains grateful to serve and bring about healing energy or Mana.

In order to maintain this kind of Therapeutic Energy exchange, it is vital that the Therapist does not rely on her or himself alone, but acknowledges his or her connection with the Divine Source, the origin of healing energy.

Receiving and imparting Healing Energy is a gift, which requires that the physical therapist should maintain, purify, rejuvenate and align their actions, nutrition and will with the Greater Will of God, which is the ultimate Source of true Healing.

Massage Therapy may lead to a deep sense of inner beauty, originating from an inner state of balance in harmony with natural cycles.

Hospice patients are often touch-deprived and benefit tremendously from the healing touch of a Massage Therapist.

The benefits of massage are numerous.

Improved function with resulting pain relief, improved digestion and toxin release,improved stress related insomnia,improved immune system,reduces the stress hormone-cortisol,improved heart health, blood pressure  and cholesterol are all benefits of regular massage therapy.

Massage Therapy positively impacts the nervous sytem, especially through relaxing the nerves which run out of the spinal cord into the organs and spinal fluid.

Massage improves posture and spinal alignment and improves breathing and circulation.

The history of Massage Therapy dates back to 3000BCE and earlier in India, where it was considered a sacred system of natural healing. in India massage is incorporated in their ayurvedic system of natural healing. Ayurveda means life health medicine.

Ayurvedic practitioners believe illness and disease come about when a person is out of sync with their environment.

Chinese massage methods evolved out of Chinese Medicine, martial arts and the spiritual yoga of the Buddhists and Toaists.

Chinese natural medicine methods include unblocking energy pathways which have become stagnant in the body.

 

These ancient methods include acupuncture, acupressure and reflexology.

Buddhist monks brought massage therapy to Japan in 1000BCE, where it was called Anma and Shiatsu.

Shiatsu is designed to regulate and strengthen certain organs by rebalancing energy levels through the stimulation of pressure points.

The Egyptians and Greeks used massage in different ways to condition their bodies in combination with certain oils and herbs.

Hippocrates prescribed massage therapy in combination with diet and lifestyle improvements, exercise,fresh air and music, in the 5th Century BCE.

The Roman physician Galen, used massage therapy for the Emperors in the 1st Century BCE. The wealthy Romans enjoyed massages at spas and their homes to stimulate circulation and ease joint pain.

In the 1800's Dr. Ling developed the Swedish Massage Technique which involves stroking, pressing, squeezing and striking, which was further developed in America to include training in anatomy, physiology, hygiene, pathology and movement perceptions.

Hydrotherapy was used in conjuction with massage and body wraps and scrubs added.

The Roman Catholic, Anglican and Lutheran churches bless three types of holy oil for anointing.

These holy oils are, oleum sanctum, oil of the infirm, sacred chrism. to anoint means to consecrate and to make sacred.

In the Christian faith there are 9 levels of anointing.

Anointing is an activator.

To anoint means to awaken our destiny.

Anointing may activate our Divine connection.

Through Ancient remedies we connect to Ancient Truths.

The Magi gave the Christ Child Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh.

Healing may be stimulated through the use of rose, olive,frankinsense, aloe sandalwood,cinnamon,cedarwood, galbanum and onycha oil.

A few of my favourite healing oils are, St. John's wort,rose geranium, , bergamot, rose of sharon and rubignosa and himalayan spikenard oil.

If we can imagine that the whole Earth became imbued with the Spirit of christ after his crucifixion then we can see how the Earth has been transformed to part of Christ's body and  holy oils are imbued with His essence of healing.

  

The Hawaiian method of Massage Therapy, LomiLomi is believed to originte from the ancient Polynesian peoples.

Both the top and underside of the client is massaged with smooth, flowing and continuous motions, sometimes incorporating the elbows and forearms,each massage is carried out in the Hawaiian spirit of Aloha.

Central to this form of massage is the Hawaiian philosophy of Huna. Huna states that in reality everything seeks to exist in harmony and that everything seeks to express and experience love. to deviate from this essential love is to live within polarity.

Hawaiian families use massage to mold the feautures of their children. It is easy to see when children are radiating the love imparted to them by healing touch.

When harmony and love is lacking, energy channels become blocked, resulting in pain.

Lomi-Lomi massage aims to bring every aspect of an individual's experience into an optimal state of wellbeing, harmony and a profound receptivity, expressed as a state of calm presence.

My Integrative Massage Therapy  techniques developed over 30 years experience as a Massage Therapist.

I incorporate the Principles of Gratitude, Love, Huna and Tai-Chi when giving a massage.

Tai-Chi principles like the Energy Gates, passed down from Taoist traditions, like beautiful lady hands (keeping wrists straight from elbows to tip of middle-finger are employed during massage, this technique benefits the therapist and the client.

Relaxed uprightness, shifting body-weight between empty and full stances, flexible waist and focus on the power-centre in the belly and circulationg/spiralling life-force in order to maintain functional integrity, employed during massage treatments.

Energy gates are points or areas where large amounts of energy (Chi) flow within the body and between the body and surrounding areas.

Circulating one's internal energy is just like guiding a thread through the nine-channeled pearl.

This requires patience, dexterity, calm focus and clear intention. Similar qualities are needed to guide and circulate energy efficiently and smoothly, without it getting stuck in knotted muscles and painful joints.

There are more than 100 energy gates in the human body, including the one in the centre of the sole of the foot called the "bubbling spring" point.

I work from a place of client centred connection in order to understand the needs, physiology, energy-dynamics, soul  and personality of my client

Massage unblocks the structure, like waves rippling, to dissolve old tension pattern.

Pleasure leads to progress.

The wrists are the first of nine gates in the body which need to remain relaxed and open during massage in order to avoid Massage Therapist burn-out.

 

Keeping the wrists straight allows the movements of the legs and waist to manifest through the hands.

Lymph node clearing is an important aspect of massage, because the lymph nodes filter out harmful organisms and wastes from the lymphatic fluid before it is returned to the blood-stream.

Lymph nodes are important filtration points and work in unison with other filtration organs.

Lymph nodes can be felt on the side of the neck and head, arms, axilla, inguinal area and back of the knees.

When one thing moves, everything moves.

This is also true with regard to removing toxins from the body.

Our brain contains a system of lymphatic vessels located in the dura mater, the sheath of the brain.

The immune system and lymphatic system (drain pipes in the head) rids the body of waste from the head.

The Therapist should remain in structural integrity and maintain good form.

Self-care, realigns and resets.

Massage Therapy sessions may last from 30-60-90 minutes.

Laser Therapy is a form COHERENT pulsed Light, bio-stimulation and magnetic field rebalancing, which has a positive effect on all the bodily functions.

 

Stroke rehabilitation for patients suffering Ischemic or Hemorrhagic stroke is an area where Laser treatment offers tremendous benefits.

Laser therapy stimulates ATP function, providing energy and oxygen on a cellular level.

Furthermore, Laser therapy aid in neuro-regeneration and restores lost motor function, helping you heal faster.

 

Only 10 minutes after low level laser is applied ATP levels  within cells increase by 221%.

 

The mitochondria, myelenation and ATP function is thus optimized. Laser therapy has the added neuro-protective effect and is ideal in combination with natural remedies in cases of chronic migraine.

 

Low level multi-radiance Lasers are safe, cold lasers and can not cut the body.

In our era of potential Technological over-stimulation of the nervous and endocrine system, this quality of rebalancing the electo-magnetic field proves most beneficial and rebalances and upgrades the functionality of the entire organ-system, endocrine-system, vascular and skeletal system.

 

Perhaps, in the near future, designers of hyper-technological devices may take the wellbeing of humanity into consideration, when they design technological products used on a daily basis.

 

At this time in history we have to make use of certain restorative devices to act as anti-dotes of balance, responding to the inevitable fast paced technological advances of our time.

Electrical and magnetic fields are so interconnected and interdependent that they are referred to as the Unified Electromagnetic Field ( EMF).

Our bodies are dependent on clean, coherent energy and (ATP) transportation of energy in order to thrive

All the molecular and metabolic processes in the body, such as the transportation of oxygen, cell-division, detoxification, muscle contraction or chemical releases result in the displacement, appearance or disappearance of electrical charges.

Emerging magnetic/electrical currents may change the landscape of the organism’s electromagnetic field.

Any bio-current (currents within the body) or bio-structures (nerves, muscle, connective tissues) initiate changes in the surrounding electromagnetic field.

 

These changes in the bio-energetic field reflect information, occurring in the bio-structure, thus influencing each other.

Any change within a person’s physiological or psychological state changes his/her electromagnetic field, bringing about a state of enhanced health and balance or disrupted health and balance.

Electromagnetic fields are considered carriers of information which oscillate between matter.

Laser Therapy consists of super-pulsed coherent light, penetrating the tissues, bones, arteries or skin in order to re-establish coherence within the bio-structure.

Laser Therapy positively stimulates blood circulation, membrane function, and cellular metabolism,reduces inflammation, regenerates damaged tissue, regulates the endocrine system, supports the immune system and has a regenerative and anti-ageing effect, with no side-effect.

Laser Light Therapy combined with ultra-sound, activates the inherent functioning of the body in numerous ways like:

1. Improves Intrinsic Immune function

2. Improves blood composition

3. Anti-inflammatory

4. Analgesic (relieves pain)

5. Increase ATP formation (supplies energy)

6. Decreases cholesterol levels

7. Anti-edematous (improves swelling)

8. Improves tissue nutrition, regeneration, anti-ageing

9. Anti-oxidant

10.Normalization of prostaglandin synthesis

11.Minimizing need for or dosage of pharmaceutical drugs.

Physical discomfort directly affects the level of confidence and mobility we experienc as we walk through life.

 

Improved physical mobility, agility and being at home in the body, leads to a greater sense of confidence and presence and ultimately enhances our wor and our interactions.

Usui is said to have rediscovered the Ancient concept of an inexhaustible energy source that can be harnessed for healing. This energy is always there.

Through a process called ATTUNEMENTS, a Reiki Master (USUI was the first) can teach others to master this healing power.

The healing art of Reiki works through sensing energetic blocks and channelling healing energy into the body.

The practitioner scans the body and places their hands over various energy centres or areas of pain and the receiving client absorbs what they can from this energy exchange.

In this way Reiki may be complementary to Massage Therapy.

Reiki sessions usually last about 30 minutes.

mindflmovement
nia dance

Let me help you heal, with movement.

 

Consciously connecting to the inherent intelligence in our bodies, through mindful movement practices, fascilitates a deep, pleasurable sensation of wholesness.

This state of inner harmony in balance with the environment is known as Ho'omana in Hawaiian.

Our bodies were shaped through eons of evolution, this evolutionary wisdom enables us to perceive the world around us.To be healthy is to be physically attuned to the environment, strong and energized.

 

We move in order to shift old tension patterns,which distort our shape.

Our physical body is not only a highly specialized physical instument of function, but is also a specialized sensory organ of perception, connected to our subtle life-body.

 

Cellular function can be bouyant, neutral or strained, depending on the tension pattern they revert to.

Healthy physical expression is related to a healthy state of mind and spirit.

The physical sensation of health is known as Mana-loa.

Dancing and moving fortifies this health giving inner-pulse.

A  flood of life-impressions leave their imprints on our body-mind, yet we can sing our body electric and regain good form.

To dance is to digest and reshape your impressions into living art. 

Your dance is your love-letter to Life.

Movement improves digestion, circulation, oxygenation and connection. 

Without artistic expression life becomes a barren field.
