Six Healing Sounds Qigong

Recently I have been going to a Healing Sounds class at the beautiful Greenhouse School of Yoga, in Craig Cefn Parc.  We practice the “Six Healing Dao Sounds”.  The philosophy behind it is that emotions affect our health.  So, feelings like anger, sadness worry and fear are stored in our energy fields and don’t make us feel good.  We focus on different organs in the body, where these emotions are held, and make different sounds to release the negative emotions.  This practice is very healing and leaves you feeling serene and relaxed.  You can get an idea of the practice by watching this video:

Growing organic veg...

I love organic veg so I thought I'd have a go at growing some. I'm surprised at how easy it seems to be.  These courgette plants have been grown from seed, I then planted them into growbags. Our local organic greengrocer Frostys kindly gave me some coffee grinds which have done a great job of keeping the slugs off 😊 and fertilising them.  Putting them on the patio table seems to have been a deterrent also.  Anyway, they seem to be doing well so far.  Maybe the unusually fine weather has helped…

 

Eating organic fruit and veg not only tastes much better but as a huge number of health benefits. And of course, growing fruit and veg without pesticides or artificial fertilisers is good for the planet too https://www.ota.com/health-benefits-organic  https://time.com/4871915/health-benefits-organic-food/  😊😊  #loveorganicfood

Indian Head Massage

What is Indian Head Massage?

Indian Head Massage began as a technique focusing on massage of the head but has evolved over time.  The technique I follow also incorporates the upper back, shoulders, arms and neck.

Although the treatment focuses on the upper part of the body, it has a beneficial relaxing result on the whole body, enabling relief form stress and from muscular tension.

The treatment I give is through clothing, with the client seated on a chair.  So, it’s quite accessible as it doesn’t require undressing or the use of oils.  If you can’t lie flat due to pain, discomfort or breathlessness, you can still receive a relaxing massage treatment.

Origins of Indian Head Massage

As its name suggest, this massage originated in India.  It is a common practice within families for bonding, and care of each other’s health and wellbeing.  Family members may give each other a head massage weekly, or even daily, which reinforces the loving bond as well as ensuring optimum health, reducing stress and muscular tension and boosting the immune system.
