What Intuitive Healing can do for you Beyond pain relief, Intuitive Healing is valuable for preventative care body flexible. Regular and structured touch enhances the body’s sensory capacity and people become more aware of tightness and pain long before it reaches a critical level of dysfunction. Regular massage also brings greater improvement in the reduction of pain and muscle tension as well as an improvement in posture. Many muscular problems are caused by or aggravated by poor posture. Whether you are suffering from an aching neck, lumbar pain or a myriad of other debilitating physical conditions, massage therapy is well recognised as an alternative, or complementary, method of relieving the pain. Reflexology is known as an excellent treatment for balancing the body’s systems i.e. the endocrine and respiratory systems and along with reiki is a renowned therapy for promoting relaxation and reducing anxiety. However, these are not the only benefits and either individually or combined into an Intuitive Healing session they can provide amazing preventative therapy that helps to prevent a disease or illness. The stress effect Stress is more than just a word to describe the nature of a hectic day. Today we understand that stress kills. A staggering 60-90 percent of all medical visits in the UK and US are for stress related disorders and stress is a factor in five out of the six leading causes of death: heart disease, cancer, stroke, lower respiratory disease and accidents. The effects of stress can develop slowly; for example, when you feel stressed you may notice the tension in your neck, which then turns into stiffness and eventually begins to affect other parts of your body. If you treat this early enough, with massage, reiki or reflexology, the chances are it won’t develop into anything more serious. Instead your body becomes rebalanced. All three therapies decrease the levels of cortisol (a stress-derived hormone that negatively affects immune function and kills our immune cells) and increase dopamine and serotonin (the neurotransmitters most associated with emotional well-being). They can also lower your heart rate and decrease your blood pressure, providing a hugely effective stress fighting tool that either complements or negates the use of pills. Your immunity is enhanced, allowing your body to more successfully ward off disease and illness. Using Intuitive Healing as a method of Preventative Health Care With training in Massage, Reiki and Reflexology, Katrina Jones from Heavenly Healing Holistic Therapies has developed a blend of the three therapies that she calls Intuitive Healing. It helps to build and maintain a healthy body and mind, combats stress and works to keep the immune system strong. Just as eating healthily and taking regular exercise helps to ward off illness and disease, regular intuitive healing sessions can help to keep the doctor at bay.
