What is Rei-ki?
Reiki is a Japanese word meaning 'Universal Life Force Energy' (pronounced ray-key). It is a form of natural healing which has been used traditionally throughout Japan and India since ancient times. This life force energy can be defined as the energy, which resides and acts in all created matter - animal, vegetable or mineral. A Rei-ki practitioner (my lineage being 5th in line from Dr Usui who re-discovered this ancient system), channels this life energy through their hands to the recipient, releasing blocked energies, cleansing the body of toxins and working to create a state of harmony and balance.

What is dis-ease?
"Ease" is defined in the dictionary as "freedom from pain or trouble or constraint". The body is a mirror of our inner thoughts and beliefs. Every cell within our body responds to every single thought you think and every word you speak. Continuous negative modes of thinking and speaking produce "dis-ease" within the body. Positive thought patterns and affirmations therefore reverse "dis-ease".

Who/What is a Spirit Guide?
The kinds of spirit guides that we may encounter are as diverse as the kinds of humans we meet. Some may have served as guides, teachers, healers etc within the physical realm. Some common guides can be Chemists, Protectors, Message Bearers or Gate Keepers - all having a specific function with helping us on our path in life. We then may have Angels, Devas, Nature Spirits or Totem Animals - all having a role to play in your progress through life.

What are Angels?
Angels are high spiritual beings appointed as guides, protectors and helpers. Angels have a lighter, faster vibration than humans (which is heavier and dense) so they are usually invisible to us. We have a Guardian Angel from birth and different Angels who help us in many ways, although often they cannot get through the turbulent vibrations of our emotions to reach us and enfold us, as they would like.

What is an Intuitive?
In times past, before the written word, a local tribal healer would have to rely on his or her 'intuition' and their ability to talk with nature to exact healing on a sick person. The ill person would seek the advice of the healer who, after diagnosing the problem, would go into the wilds and collect herbs according to 'intuition' and 'calling'. Nowadays Intuitives, incorporate further techniques associated with modern day to bring greater balance.

What are Chakras?
Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning 'wheel'. There are seven main Chakras in the etheric body, the first situated at the base of the spine and the seventh on the crown of the head. Each Chakra has a number of attributes, including a colour, a relation to an element and the maintenance of specific physical and emotional functions. It is spiritually significant that the colours make a rainbow as in a number of cultures the rainbow represents a bridge between this world and that of the Gods.

What is an Aura?
Around every living thing is a collection of electromagnetic energies vibrating at different densities. They are held around the body by electromagnetic attraction and form an oval shape called the Auric Egg. This energy field extends outside of the physical body an average of 3 feet and is layered like an onion. Plants, animals, even crystals all have their own unique auras. Some people have the ability to see Auras and others can perceive the subtle energies of the body through touch, dowsing and many other methods.

How accurate is Dowsing?
Using a pendulum to search for disturbances in a person's Aura is a fairly common way of seeking to identify the subtle causes of health issues, ranging from minor emotional blockages to early stages of physical ailments. Professional dowsers can earn healthy salaries from farmers and corporations by locating underground water sources and mineral deposits and is a tried and tested method used by complementary health consultants as an aid to diagnosis too.

Amanda's policy is to get to the root cause of dis-ease and discover how to turn the negative lessons to be learned into a positive reality to move forward within the shortest time possible. We all have busy lives and need to move on from negativity as swiftly as possible. Therefore 1 session is usually all that is required, however if necessary, a follow up appointment may be arranged.
