HEAD MASSAGE

Indian Head Massage (Also known as Champissge or Champi) is a holistic massage and marma point therapy that has traditional roots based in Indian culture and Ayurvedic practises for over 3,000 years. This form of massage specifically focuses on the face, head, neck and upper body areas which are important energy centres where tension accumulates resulting in stiff muscles and joints and resulting headaches and jaw/ear pain. This form of treatment combines physical massage with a subtle form of energy balancing. Using the Ayurvedic element of chakra/marma energy balancing, this massage focuses on the three higher chakras. This has a powerful effect and can bring the energy of the whole body back into balance creating a deep sense of calm and well-being.

Reiki 1
Date: 14 January 2024
Time: 09:30 - 4:30
Cost: €170
Reiki Level One – One-day Training.
Manual and Certificate provided on completion.
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. The word Reiki is a combination of Japanese and Chinese word characters of ri (spiritual or supernatural) and ki ( vital energy). It was founded by a man called Mikao Usui. Reiki is a life force which flows within the physical body through pathways called chakras, meridians and nadis. It also flows around us in a field of energy called an aura. Reiki heals by flowing through the affected parts of the energy field and charging them with positive energy.
Reiki is not a religious cult nor is it a medical practice or treatment. Reiki is a useful complementary theory.
