BodyTalk is a 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. |

Ericksonian Psychotherapy is a practical process of providing tailored, dramatic, real-life experiences that activate responsiveness and dormant resources in patients. The therapist creates situations whereby patients, to their own credit, realize hidden strengths and bring them to the foreground to solve the problems that brought them to therapy. In Ericksonian therapy, patients are viewed as complete human beings who have temporarily lost access to their resources; customarily, they are not viewed in terms of their pathology. For this reason, diagnosis and history taking are deemphasized. Assessment is instead focused on styles of communication (e.g., verbal and nonverbal patterns); values of clients and strengths in their social systems are emphasized, particularly as they influence setting and meeting therapeutic goals and overcoming resistance to change. |

Flower Therapies: In the early 1930's a British physician discovered that many of his patients' emotional and psychological difficulties predisposed them to the onset of physical disease. Additionally, these difficulties -- such as anxiety, fear, resentment, jealousy, even lack of self-confidence -- complicated physical disorders once manifested, making them more difficult to treat. In his search for a safe and effective treatment the doctor eventually succeeded in discovering 38 flowering plants, trees, and special waters, preparations which assisted in resolving a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties. Used successfully for over 60 years by physicians and other health care professionals worldwide, preparations of these substances are among those on the leading edge of a new direction in medicine. This direction is away from strong pharmaceutical drugs, toward more natural, non-habit forming preparations which gently assist the body in mobilizing its own internal healing capabilities. |

Hydrotherapy is the use of water in the treatment of disease. Hydrothermal therapy additionally uses its temperature effects, as in hot baths, saunas, wraps, etc. The recuperative and healing properties of hydrotherapy are based on its mechanical and/or thermal effects. It exploits the body's reaction to hot and cold stimuli, to the protracted application of heat, to pressure exerted by the water and to the sensation it gives. The nerves carry impulses felt at the skin deeper into the body, where they are instrumental in stimulating the immune system, influencing the production of stress hormones, invigorating the circulation and digestion, encouraging blood flow, and lessening pain sensitivity. |

We respond to the soothing music at later stages in life, perhaps associating it with the safe, relaxing, protective environment provided by our mother. |

Tajii (Tai Chi) Taiji has evolved in three directions. Due to its rich heritage in Daoist spirituality, it is a method for spiritual growth. Due to its profound utility as a fighting art it has become the martial art of choice for many serious fighters. In the middle and common to both is Taiji's powerful application as a self-healing tool. Taiji is one catagory of Qigong forms. Taiji consists generally of 108 separate movements that are connected together into a specific order. The practice triggers health and healing benefits from both the Asian paradigm of energy and the Western paradigm of physiology. The balance and flow of one's internal self healing energies is enhanced by the slow, intentful, meditative movements of Taiji. At the very same time the delivery of oxygen and nutrition from the blood to the tissues is improved. The lymph system's ability to eliminate metabolic by-products and transport immune cells is increased. The biochemical profile of the brain and nervous system is shifted toward recovery and healing. |

Thanatotherapy is a progressive school of body-oriented psychotherapy suggesting a method and techniques for establishing (or reestablishing) contact with various types of death and dying. The method is based on healing biological reactions, which organize and correct human energetic balance and basic human problems. Thanatotherapy is modeling the "right dying" (P. Florensky), teaching the awareness of one's proper place in the context of the integral life-death process. Feelings experienced by people during tanathotherapy sessions are similar to experiences of clinical death: out-of-body experiences, "the channel", "the glowing being"; they provide a powerful transpersonal experience and promote integration and extension of consciousness. |

The Alexander Technique is a time-tested method of teaching ways to restore our natural balance, flexibility and ease of movement. It teaches the use of the appropriate amount of effort for a particular activity, releasing more energy for all our activities. It is not a series of treatments or exercises, but rather a reeducation of the mind and body that helps you discover a new balance in your body by releasing unnecessary tension. |

Yoga is an applied science of the mind and body. It comes from the Hindu vedas (scriptures). Practice and study of it help to bring about a natural balance of body and mind in which the state of health can manifest itself. Yoga itself does not create health; rather, it creates an internal environment that allows the individual to come to his own state of dynamic balance, or health. |
