Some people prefer to have Reflexology done on their hands – they are embarrassed to show their feet. Some practitioners give their clients “homeplay” reflexes on their hands so they can help themselves. Personally, I work the hands as well as the feet in every session – to tell the body that I mean business!

Natural therapies once thought to be only for humans are now becoming increasingly popular with our companion animals. Stress is the most common cause of all illness and disease in pets and humans alike. Natural therapies are minimally invasive way to diffuse this stress and encourage the body’s own healing ability. This workshop covers reflexology, acupressure, holistic pulsing and energy balancing techniques to maintain good health and to assist during health problems and recovery from trauma or surgery. They work exceptionally well alongside veterinarian care but are not designed as a replacement. The workshop is for all pet owners, holistic veterinarians/vet nurses and people involved or interested in animal bodywork or animal care. Participants can bring their companion animals (by arrangement with the instructor or owner of Pacific Institute of Reflexology, as this will need to be scheduled). All animals can benefit from these natural therapies. Participants will receive a comprehensive manual and a certificate.

Introduction, Embryology/CNS/Automatic Nervous System, Cranial Movement/Membranes/Lesions of CRI, CSF Fluid, General Cranio Sacral Treatment, The Cranial Nerves. November 2008
See OK In Health`s Reflexology page for more details.

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.

Working with Craig, it's the quality of each moment with the horse, not just the movement produced, that is most of interest. As the rider develops the understanding and ability to communicate more clearly, the movements improve-- but rather than learning tricks to mask mistakes, riders learn what they are doing that is producing the mistake and how to ride with such clarity that the movements become fluid, light, and precise. Craig's methods produce, very quickly and without abuse, a calm, willing, responsive horse interested in engaging in a conversation with his rider. Horse owners are in training right along with their mount, learning to maintain a conversation sustainable after the horse leaves.

Grief is a highly complex and absolutely normal reaction to a death. It affects each person differently. It takes time to work through, often much longer than people expect. Many people feel isolated in their grief and pressured by society's expectations to "get over it and move on". Since 1998, November 14th has been officially recognized by the Province of BC as Bereavement Day. It is a day to share stories of remembrance, feelings of loss, and to seek comfort by gathering with others experiencing similar feelings. Communities throughout the Province will be organizing memorial events, such as, candle lighting, dove release, readings, and services for reflection and hope. Please call us if you would like help planning your own event or to learn about one near you. Additionally, if you would like to purchase a black ribbon pin to wear in support of bereavement as a natural response to death for yourself or your community, please call us. The BC Bereavement Helpline has been serving the bereaved in BC for over 20 years. Volunteers are here to listen to you in your greatest time of need and to refer you to a support group in your area. A knowledgeable and compassionate volunteer will take the call, determine the type of loss, the type of support the person is seeking, which city the individual is calling from, and what would be the most appropriate support. The caller receives immediate support from The Helpline, acknowledgement that they are not "going crazy", that there is help available, and that it is a positive step to attend a grief support group.

Grief Shared is Grief Diminished. CALL 1-877-779-2223 OR 604-738-9950 for events in your community.

What are the benefits? The therapeutic response from VRT is often quicker, especially with orthopedic problems. Advanced VRT techniques can often help intransigent conditions. VRT can also be used as a brief first-aid treatment or as part of a comprehensive 25 minute treatment for hospices, the workplace, schools, sports centres, etc.
How does it fit into my conventional practice? Simply reduce your classical treatment to allow time to apply VRT for up to 5 minutes at the beginning and/or end of treatments. VRT complements all forms of reflexology and enhances, rather than replaces, your other techniques and skills. We also offer one day courses on VRT and the Endocrine system where neural pathway reflexes are worked, Advanced VRT techniques and VRT Hand and Nail-working courses. Over 5000 reflexologists have attended authorized VRT courses in the UK and internationally. The courses are accredited by the Complementary Therapists’ Association (IGPP) and Booth VRT can provide a VRT practitioner list for particular geographical areas. Certificates of Attendance are issued. Lynne Booth's best selling book, Vertical Reflexology and also Vertical Reflexology for Hands are available from bookshops and Booth VRT direct.

Chakras are the interface between the physical and non-physical elements of your system. A lump in your throat may have to do with fear, or something you can’t speak of as well as a spasm of the muscles or a thyroid condition. A “gut feeling” is another example that we experience. Perhaps you know about chakras and how to balance them on the body. Here is a unique system of Chakra balancing within the scope of a Reflexology session. Two different systems will be presented. Each deals with the different facets of the Chakras, spiritual, and emotional and physical aspects. Learn how to use sound, aromatherapy, colour, and crystals to enhance your chakra session.

Deepak will address the deeper meaning of our existence including:
 
What is our true nature?
Where do we come from?
What is the meaning and purpose of our existence?
What is the mechanics of creation?
How can I transform myself?
How can I make a better world?
Deepak explains how the greatest spiritual secrets are tied up in this simple answer. It takes a total shift in perception to realize that you are not in the world, the world is in you.

VIP Tickets also available which include VIP reception and the lecture.  Limited seats available.
