This is the perfect course for those who are brand new to meditation as well as those who have experience with it.  The most common complaint from people struggling with meditation is "I can't stop thinking". 

Come discover why 'thinking' is not only not a problem, but actually a valuable part of the meditation process.  This unique course looks at the direct link between meditation and enlightenment.  You will discover how easy it is to become the observer to the ego, rather than a slave to it.  By the end of the course you will be confident in your ability to continue the practice on your own.  There will be a weekly drop-in group meditation that is optional to attend and will provide participants the opportunity to stay connected with other like-minded people.

 We have all read the books and seen the movies that profess to have all the answers on creating the life we want.  'What the bleep do we know...', 'The Secret', etc.  Then why is it only a handful of us actually put what they teach us into practice?  Who among us wouldn't like to be in control of the things  we create in our lives?   Well this workshop is for you.  By getting clear on what it is that we truly want, we take the guesswork out of the manifestation process.  Then by shifting the blockages in our sub-conscious that prevent us from taking action we set it all into motion.

BodyTalk is an astonishingly simple and effective form of therapy that allows the body's energy systems to be re-synchronized so that they can operate as nature intended. Each system, cell and atom is in constant communication with each other at all times. Through exposure to the stresses of day-to-day life, these lines of communication become compromised, which then leads to a decline in physical, emotional and/or mental health. Reconnecting these lines of communication then enables the body's mechanisms to function at optimal levels, thus preventing disease and rapidly accelerating the healing process. BodyTalk can be used as a stand-alone system to treat many health problems, or seamlessly integrated into any health care system to increase its effectiveness and promote faster healing. This course is a pre-requisite for BodyTalk Module 2. It is suitable for health care professionals as well as lay people who may want to learn the BodyTalk system and use the system at a non-professional level. This course counts for 16 hours of continuing education for Certified BodyTalk

Cranio sacral is the name given to the approach to osteopathy developed by Dr Sutherland 100 years ago. He saw how the bone structure of the skull permitted slight motion and noted that restriction of normal motion due to injury, trauma or disease could affect health. The cranial osteopath works gently with the bones in the skull and associated bodily systems to remedy such conditions. The Reflexologist can achieve the same result by combining an understanding of cranio-sacral therapy with conventional reflexology, since the bones of the feet reflect the skull and sacrum exactly.
The body’s inner health is perceived through a gentle pulse called the CSRI. It arises at the core of the body within the brain and spinal cord and the fluid, which surrounds them. It is a tide-like rhythm, which expresses itself throughout all of the body. Areas of congestion and restriction in function of any part of the body can be felt as an imbalance in its motion and treated.
A reflexologist has a highly developed sense of palpation and is trained to detect and assess the dynamic state of the body tissues;’ Both within the feet and the rest of the body. By using the gentle techniques of Cranio-Sacral Reflexology” the practitioner is able to release the strain patterns found and support the body in its attempt to retum to an ideal state of balance and function for healing to progress.
Cranio-Sacral Reflexology is suitable for everyone, from newborn babies to the elderly including those with fragile and acute medical conditions:
Baby and Infant Conditions, Colic, sucking difficulties, reflux Premature babiesRecurrent ear and throat infections-Irritability, insomnia, excess crying,-Development and behavioural delay/ disorders, Poor eye coordination, Difficulties in turning the head Birth trauma, Adult General Trauma and Conditions, - Sinusitis, Stress related illness, Jaw disorders, Bronchitis and Asthma, Insomnia, Depression, Migraine, Tinnitus, Back, shoulder and neck pain, Whiplash, and sports injuries.
