I invite you to learn more about my Medicinal Aromatherapy Study Group that meets monthly in Laguna Woods Village, CA the second Sat. from 2-4 pm.

Last week, we explored medicinal-grade essential oils and studied five essences from the Melaleuca family, including Tea Tree, Tea Tree Lemon, Cajeput, Rosalina, and Niaouli. After feeling and smelling the essences, a contemplative meditation followed along with a blessing from The Grandmothers in Time. It was an exciting time and testimonials are continuing to arrive!

Hard to believe we're already 11 days into the new year! This will be a great 2010.

The first infant massage class of the year began last week with the new introductory session that has been added to the course. Great session! This week the babies come with their moms and we will be working with legs, feet and stomach. Those little ones surely will sleep well Thurs.!

What is Energy Medicine ? It is hands-on and hands-off energy clearing that enhances one's ability to heal themself and others. Energy healing can accelerte the healing process of birth trauma or complications, enhance attachment and bonding, heal circumcisions, the umbilical cord or infection for babies. It helps accelerate wound healing and bone fractures, headaches, teething, emotional melt-downs, anxiety, bruises, amongst other health issues of your children. It can calm and relax stressed adults and children. Congestion and pain can clear with ease.

You will learn about the chakras and energy fields and how to clear them of congestion, creating balance. You will walk away with tools to help your babies, children and yourself live a healthier life.

This is an introductory workshop into Energy Medicine, utilizing foundational techniques from Healing Touch (tm) and other energy healing modalities.

HOLIDAY GREETINGS

2009-12-22T15:32:00.000-08:00

'Tis the busy time of the year with lots of hustle and blustle, getting all things ready for this week's Christmas celebrations. We've had warm weather lately, turned cold, to pleasantly cool weather, and now the wind. No wonder I have been home nursing a cold virus for the past five days. But we all need some down-time and often we don't honor that for ourselves unless we get sick! So I have let go, left my gifts unwrapped, hunkered down on the couch with a good book, a cup of tea, my homeopathic remedies, a box of tissues, my comfy afghan, and surrendered to my bodies need to detox and renew itself.

From my home to yours, I wish you happy holidays and a joyous New Year. See you again in 2010!!!

Many joyous blessings to you and your families,
Suzie Bennett

What is Healing Touch ?

2009-12-10T12:54:00.000-08:00

I am frequently asked what "Healing Touch" energywork is. So here's a basic explanation but the best way to understand its implications is to receive it!

Healing Touch is a popular complementary therapy used in many hospital settings throughout the globe and professional offices. It supports the body's natural healing process. This gentle non-invasive therapy helps restore balanace within the body's energy system, providing an optimum environment to heal. Practitioners have successfully met requirements, including completion of a multi-level training program that typically involves three years of coursework and mentorship. My coursework has continued over 25 years.

Research suggests a number of health benefits, from reduction of pain and anxiety to enhanced immune function make Healing Touch a valuable complement to traditional medical and clinical interventions. Anxiety and pain cause increases in hormones and metabolic responses which inhibit the immune system and increase oxygen consumption, cardiac output and blood pressure, all of which can have a detrimental impact on recovery of an illness. By increasing the relaxation and a sense of well-being and decreasing anxiety and pain, Healing Touch helps promote a positive outcome for many imbalances.

Ongoing studies indicate Healing Touch's helpfulness in speeding tissue and wound healing, alleviating depression, and reducing side effects from cancer treatments. Additional benefits include:

-incerases well-being - reduces pain - promotes relaxation - eliminates anxiety - lowers blood pressure - enhances immune function - supports the body's natural healing process - promotes healing - depression - wound healing - mental clarity

Healing Touch practitioners unblock energy using their hands. The practitioner uses light hand movements on or over a person's body to look for symmetry, balance and flow. Heat, cold or heaviness often indicate blockages or imbalances and practitioners, again, work their hands to rebalance the energy field and enhance their ability to heal. A session can take place with full clothing and in almost any position - sitting or lying - that is most comfortable. Some people report feeling tingling, warmth or pulsation. Most become deeply relaxed and describe an increased sense of well-being after a treatment. Healing Touch supports the body's natural healing process.

This is one intervention that I use in my practice which I can incorporate with other modalities, as needed. Again, this is an explanation of the work from the mental process, however each person's body is unique and the gift is in experiencing it personally. Over 25 years, I have experienced many miracle stories.
