Reiki & Seichem Healing

Reiki and Seichem are very ancient healing methods rediscovered in the 19th Century by a Japanese doctor and monk. For healing Seichem is connected with the Spirit plus the four elements earth, fire, air and water and Reiki is just one part of Seichem, the earth element connection. Combined they are a powerful healing energy which can help to relieve many problems and medical conditions and restore the body's natural balance.

Both Reiki and Seichem healing are safe for everyone including young babies and pregnant women. To receive this healing the recipient either lies down or sits comfortably and is fully clothed. Most recipients feel completely relaxed after the treatment. This therapy is completely safe for all, including children, and can also be given to animals.

Satvikananda is a practitioner of Tera-Mai Reiki and Tera-Mai Seichem healing and studied under the guidance of the Reiki and Seichem Master Nipa Das to gain her diplomas.

Individual Reiki & Seichem Healing and Reiki & Seichem Attunements are available on request.

Crystal Healing

Crystals have been used in healing since time began. Crystal Therapy applies the principle of balance to re-establish the harmonious energy flow within the whole being. Clearing the energy blockages from the body and the mind helps to relieve many diverse medical conditions as well as alleviating stress and emotional problems, thus creating a sense of overall well being and bringing genuine relief on the mental, emotional and physical planes. This healing is suitable for most people and the recipient will either be required to lie down or sit comfortably fully clothed to receive a treatment.

Crystal Therapy is not a suitable therapy for children under eight years old and is not advisable for those who have severe heart problems, those who suffer from schizophrenia or mental illness, or for those who are drug users or alcoholics.

Satvikananda studied for her Crystal Therapy Diploma with Lettie Vantol at the Vantol College of Crystal Therapy.
