Sacred Sound Chanting and Meditation Retreat last weekend

 We had a lovely, rejuvenating and clearing time at Saturday’s Chanting and Meditation day, in the beautiful healing energy of the Happiness Centre’s meditation room. We enjoyed some incredibly powerful meditation on the breath mixed with elements of Journey therapy, allowing us to connect deeply at soul level. This was interspersed with periods of chanting the seed sound for each chakra. We also tried some walking meditation after a lovely shared lunch. Comments from those who came included: “A wonderful introduction to chanting”… “The meditations were amazing” … and “I went deeper than I’ve ever gone before…”

Louise is planning to run another Chanting and Meditation day in the near future, so let us know if you would be interested.

Allergies and Hayfever – now is the time to deal with your allergies before the Hayfever season starts using NAET, an effective allergy elimination technique

Allergies & Hayfever

The summer is generally a time when we experience warmer weather and plenty of outdoor activities, but for over 20% of us, summertime means suffering!  The hay fever season can start any time soon and for hay fever sufferers this will mean the inevitable onset of a streaming nose and puffy red sore eyes. Hay fever can last from spring, right through summer to autumn depending upon what pollens, flowers, weeds and mould spores your immune system reacts to. When the body comes into contact with the allergens, cells in the lining of your nose, mouth and eyes release a chemical called histamine that triggers the systems.  

DID YOU KNOW?

• Hayfever is the most common allergy affecting an estimated 20% of the population in Britain.
• Cases of allergies are now rapidly increasing and are thought to affect as many as 1 in 3 people.
• Most children with eczema have food allergies, according to data from double-blind research
• Most people with inhalant allergies such as hayfever are also likely to have food allergies. In recent years, food allergies have become increasingly prevalent, in fact the health effects of allergies can be so far-reaching that many health practitioners now believe that food allergies are the leading cause of most undiagnosed symptoms.

Increasing numbers of people are finding that they are intolerant or allergic to things they eat, touch or breathe. Their reactions to these allergens can vary from mild discomfort, headaches, nausea or bloating, to a life threatening anaphylactic shock.

The lucky ones have isolated the specific allergen and are avoiding it, but for the unlucky, the allergen cannot be avoided or remains undiagnosed, resulting in chronic ailments,  As the body ages and suffers longer it will lower its strength and immunity and so become vulnerable to more ailments.

HAYFEVER or seasonal allergic rhinitis, is an immune reaction to allergens such as dust, pollen, pet dander or mould. It can be seasonal or perennial. It usually results in inflammation of the nasal mucous membranes and symptoms include sneezing, watery eyes, and an itching dripping nose. Many hayfever sufferers have found symptom relief by switching to a diet low in wheat and sugar.

WHAT IS NAET?

This unique method can help eliminate allergy symptoms and alleviate allergies. No-one fully understands how allergies and intolerances happen.  The western view is that they are the result of an overactive immune system. NAET views them from an eastern viewpoint and sees allergies as an inappropriate response causing energetic imbalances, which lead to energy blockages in the body. causing symptoms relating to whichever meridians and organs are affected.

Many people take vitamins and minerals in the hope of feeling healthier, not realising that their bodies may be actively intolerant.  This is a waste of time and money, and it makes sense to see if your body is intolerant.

The NAET treatment “re-programmes” your brain to perfect health to enable you to live your life free from allergies and ailments arising from allergies.

Thousands of patients have been treated with amazing permanent results.  Full details about the treatment and case histories can be found in Dr Nambudripad’s book ‘Say Goodbye to Illness”

Invitation to A Sacred Sound and Healing Retreat Day – in a program with venues including Retreat Centres in Catalonia and Co. Galway Eire, Covent Garden and Cornwall.

On Saturday July 9th 2011, at the Happiness Centre, Ilkley, you are invited to the first of a series of wonderful new events … A Sacred Sound and Healing Retreat Day – in a program with venues including Retreat Centres in Catalonia and Co. Galway Eire, Covent Garden and Cornwall.  

This day retreat offers time out for yourself to come into relationship with your inner core. To let all things arise in a beautifully supportive environment of equals, coming together in body, mind, and spirit, to share ancient practices of sound, music, poetry, astrological and emotional insight.

For thousands of years the healing qualities of sound have been known. The Chinese Qi Gong Six Healing Sounds (Qi =life force, Gong = cultivation of), combined with gentle meditative movement; Native American drumming and chanting; Sufi and Shiva traditions; the exhilaration of Greek folk music…we will draw on many forms from Bach to The Beatles and far beyond to all shores.

Kath Reade will sing her songs which touch the listener deeply and open the heart. You can join in, as live music creates a special community.

Maggie Pashley will share her profound healing skills, honed over many years, and

 Michael Conneely will create a wonderful cloud of visionary poetry for you to rest in. His vast astrological wisdom will be a valuable resource for the day – and for your life.

To experience this retreat will be to give yourself a much deserved gift, to nurture your soul, in a coming together of equal spiritual beings with unlimited potential, -no gurus, no ideologies, or ‘isms’.  Just helping each other to ‘be’. To discover freedom and joy within. So we can say -May all beings live in peace -may all beings live in harmony -may all beings live in peace and harmony.
