I attended an interesting talk recently about massage being introduced in some schools. The adults aren't allowed to massage the children - instead they learn to do it for each other in a fun way. It's proving to have a wonderful effect on them - there's less bullying, and more respect among them. Once they've shared this form of healthy touch, they see each other in a whole new light, as equals.

We discussed how desperately sad it is that teachers and other responsible adults aren't allowed to touch the children in their care. If a child is hurt or scared while away from home, there's nobody to hug them and give them reassurance. No wonder so many of them are growing up with an apparent disregard for people outside their families - they don't experience the people around them as caring, loving people. Teachers and other adults are scared to show them affection in case it's misconstrued, and the children are learning from them that touch is something to be afraid of.

I believe that touch is vital for our health, and relationships. Wouldn't the world be a better place if we stopped being afraid to show affection, and spent more time hugging?

Quantum-Touch® Workshops

My next workshops are on the 27th/28th June in Farnham, and 8th/9th August in Bosham.

During this two-day workshop, you learn a variety of healing techniques, including the basic breathing and body awareness techniques that form the basis of Quantum-Touch, distance healing, self-healing, chakra balancing, toning, and more advanced techniques to make the treatment more powerful, and fun to do.

Best known for moving bones with no physical manipulation, this therapy also works very well on other physical conditions such as reducing pain or inflammation, sciatica, carpal-tunnel syndrome, asthma and more. It is also invaluable for working on emotional conditions, such as depression, stress or grief.

Here's an inspiring lecture by the founder of Quantum-Touch, Richard Gordon (mp3 format).

Treatments

I offer Quantum-Touch energy healing, EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), and Reflexology. These can be done in a clinic (Hamblin Hall in Bosham, or MotorVate in Chichester), or in the comfort of your own home. Appointments also available evenings and weekends.

Quantum-Touch is a gentle but powerful form of healing which encourages accelerated healing throughout your body. It works on a wide variety of conditions, such as sciatica, scoliosis, carpal-tunnel syndrome, back pain, headaches, stress, grief, chakra balancing, and much more. This is also available as distance healing.

EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) is a more interactive therapy, in which we gently tap on specific pressure points along the meridians to clear blockages. This is best known for overcoming phobias (e.g. fear of flying, spiders, needles...), and addictions (e.g. smoking, alcohol, chocolate...). However, it also works well on other emotional and physical conditions.

Reflexology - an advanced form of foot massage in which particular points are pressed or rubbed to stimulate healing throughout the body.
