Learn how to tap into this ageless wisdom and explore how this is backed by modern science.  There is an exciting element to this path that brings real practical results at the same time as satisfying the most mystically minded souls. It blends hard ground science with higher meditative dream states. It oscillates between these to create something excitingly powerful. Presenter, Terry Power has taught energy medicine techniques to many health professionals from all over the world – techniques which have greatly improved the health of their patients. Now Terry from Australia has been redirected to use these principles to help ALL people apply similar methods to not only health but abundance and success in every way imaginable.

Sound And Spiritual Discovery

Who and What am I?
Where am I going?
How can I change my life?

We are created from Harmonic Sound; broadly each of us has a unique sound/frequency; health is a reflection of Harmony, and disease dis-harmony. Our perception of life is built on our experience through the senses; hearing develops from around week 9 in the womb; life experience begins before birth and is last to go with death.

The Good News is, as sensory beings we can 'tune' ourselves like a musical instrument, raising our self-awareness and health to a new level of being. When you change your 'tuning', you change the music of your life.

Tuning Fork Therapy, pioneered by John Beaulieu uses specifically designed tuning forks for energy balancing. A simple, effective self-help tuning can involve clearing your personal space and environment of static energy and stress, creating deep relaxation easily; wonderful to precede meditation and inspiration, balancing both sides of the brain; enhancing Creativity, groundedness and focus in life. Imagine the difference to an Individual, a Family and a work group if more of us tuned up this way!.

Further Information
The next course on sound and spiritual discovery is at the Wilbury School of Natural Therapy Brighton in March 09. Bookings via The Wilbury School Tel 01273 552766;  courses@wilburyschool.eclipse.co.uk  For information on courses and contact details visit  www.thespiritualmidwife.co.uk

4th Edition: The Complete Guide to Food Allergy and Intolerance

First published in 1989, when food intolerance was much less well known, The Complete Guide to Food Allergy and Intolerance by Professor Jonathan Brostoff and Linda Gamlin played a big part in making the public, the medical profession and complementary health practitioners more aware of common food problems. Now the completely updated and rewritten 4th edition has been published, to widespread acclaim.
 
The new edition of the book is published by Quality Health Books, an imprint set up by Linda Gamlin, one of the co-authors of The Complete Guide to Food Allergy and Intolerance.
 
The book is expanded; it includes an in-depth chapter on allergy tests and tests for food intolerance: a field that has mushroomed since 1989, not always to the benefit of consumers. Another chapter regarding  coeliac disease, brings together all the research information available on the new DIY coeliac blood tests, and what a positive test result means, especially for those with few or no symptoms.
 
Other chapters do the same for key topics that complementary therapists regularly have to deal with, such as IBS, lactose intolerance, and baby colic. The role of food reactions in rheumatoid arthritis, atopic eczema and asthma is also considered in detail. And the core chapters on food allergy and food intolerance remain the most accurate and comprehensive sources of information you will find anywhere.
 
Further Information
The Complete Guide to Food Allergy and Intolerance 4th edition is available direct from Quality Health Books, price £12.50. It can also be ordered from bookshops.

4-day Intensive Quantum Aromatherapy(r) CPD training with Dr Daniel Penoel

Essential oils are currently used both in the traditional holistic approach as in well as the more clinical or medical orientation. The traditional holistic and  molecular models do not assist us in deciphering the full power of essential oils and fail to give us a tangible explanation. There is a need for aromatherapists to acquire deeper, more systemic approaches to extend the existing knowledge. To get the full picture of Dr Penoel's in-depth knowledge, a substantial course is now offered to English-speaking people. CPD Module 1 is a stepping stone and is the first module out of the 3 in-depth modules offered to gain a qualification in Quantum Aromatherapy(r).

The first training in Quantum Aromatherapy(r) will be held from Saturday, 11 July to Tuesday, 14 July 2009. Set in the beautiful Drôme valley, in France, near Provence, the Quantum Aromatherapy(r) training is a truly uplifting experience. You will be immersed in a French context with French tutors involved in aromatherapy for over 30 years. This will enhance the richness and diversity of this unique experience. The 4-day CPD training gives  time to really get into a Quantum Aromatherapy(r) Mindset to explore  practical and effective skills.

The Quantum Aromatherapy(r)  framework enables us to unravel the code of essential oils from another viewpoint. Dr Daniel Penoel MD, in realizing the full potential of essential oils, has drawn 7 key principles from New Physics including Quantum Mechanics, space-time Theory and interconnectedness. He has combined these principles with his knowledge as a medical doctor and from his thirty years of experience.

New DVD:  Tui Na Student to Master

After many years experience with Tui Na, Errol now presents the DVD:  Tui Na Student to Master,  a step by step video on how to do and improve your Tui Na massage.



Tui Na, which literally means push and grab, is a bodywork technique developed in China over 3,000 years ago. A combination of massage, acupressure and stretching, Tui Na works by applying pressure to acu-points, meridians and groups of muscles or nerves to remove blockages that prevent the free flow of energy (Qi). The work is done entirely with the practitioner's hands to help increase the beneficial flow of Qi through the patient's meridian system.

The aims of the tuina massage are to disperse, activate, harmonize to bring about the body's natural healing process. These aims are achieved by varying the speed, pressure and duration of a Tuina treatment. It is the development of the practitioner's ability to control their body, breath and hands that separates the student from the master. While they will often appear similar in execution, the master's techniques will be profoundly more effective due to the control and development of the body and stances. This is a process that is accomplished through determination, practice, endurance, insight and the help of senior Doctors of TCM.

Ultrasound In Your Own Home

 
Ultrasound has been used by doctors and physiotherapists for healing since the 1940s but now, for the first time in the UK, this therapeutic pain relief is available in a home use device so the treatment and therapy you get from your osteopath, chiropractor or physio for any sprains, strains, aches and pains, can now be carried on at home for maximum relief and faster healing.



Therapeutic ultrasound, as opposed to the diagnostic imaging ultrasound, is a very high frequency massage that penetrates deep below the surface of the skin to assist in the healing process by increasing blood circulation and reducing inflammation.
 
Ultralieve(r) will deliver 1 million vibrations per second (1MHz) pulsed ultrasound waves with varying intensity levels deep into damaged tissues and is scientifically and medically proven device to treat a range of medical conditions. 

Ultralieve(r) treatment can take between 5 and 15 minutes, dependent upon the type and severity of injury.  Simply apply the treatment gel to the target area and move the device in small circular movements.  With ultrasonic waves so you don't feel heat, noticeable vibration or an intense experience – this allows the treatment to be used even on very tender parts of the body such as ankles, wrists or the forehead

Available from  www.ultralieve.com – special introductory launch price  £129 (£30 off).
