HOLISTIC

REIKI

www.chokureiki.com : Reiki is an energy that surround and permeates all things. In Japanese it is translated as the Universal (Rei) Life Energy (Ki). We all can channel Reiki at one level or another. When we have an upset stomach, have hit our finger or had a headache we have held or touched that part of our body as if to soothe and heal it. Although we are all channels for Reiki, it is the attunement process that refines the Reiki. Reiki has so many uses, the most common being to heal or balance a certain ailment or to bring peace, relaxation and harmony to the recipient. Whatever the reason, Reiki always flows for the highest good. The method of receiving a Reiki treatment from a practitioner is a simple process. The practitioner gently places their hands non-intrusively in a sequence of positions which cover the whole body.

MASSAGE

4 HAND MASSAGE

www.4handmassage.co.uk : A 4HandMassage is an amazing innovation created by Andrew & Markko. Using their knowledge and experience of various different types of massage treatments Andrew& Markko have cleverly combined basic Swedish Massage, Indian Head Massage, Reflexology and Sports/Deep Tissue Massage to create their own unique experience. The routine itself is for the most part done in synchronisation and the experience can be modified to suit each individual client. In effect, it’s like experiencing 2 full body massages at the same time!!

PERMANENT AIDS MEMORIAL FOR LONDON?

BLOGGER Swarmite came up with an idea. An idea so simple but overlooked, until now. That idea? London needs a permanent AIDS memorial where we can gather to remember the ones who succumbed, dying bravely, defiantly and with no knowledge of the battle ahead. A space for flowers, notes and memories for all the days that we remember. We owe it to them. >>MORE
