A group of Australian Naturopaths and Nutritionists visited Southern Goa and attended MasterClasses with Dr Prafullata and Beyond Borders. We visited Ayurvedic, Naturopathic, Homeopathic and Allopathic Doctors and the local Hospital and Community Health Centres and created a Cooking Demonstration for local Women that increased the nutritional intake of families by demonstrating adding vegetables and side dishes to their regular meals. The Aus-India Fusion dishes were well received and our laminated booklet remained as a handy reference after our 3 week stay. Dr Prafullata is visiting Australia in Spring 2023 and will be our Guest Speaker at a Shirodhara training Course as well as holding Yoga and Pranayam classes. Proceeds of Yoga classes will go directly to Womens Health Clinics that Dr Prafullata runs for the Zuaringa Slum community as well as other Community Aid projects in India and Nepal. Categories All Healing and Health can be enhanced by seemingly minor or subtle things.Seeing a sunrise, a flower or bird the sky clouds a smiling face all give us a momentary lift of joy contentment and happiness that is free and health promoting in a very holistic way.
In the same manner the sights sounds and placement of items in our home whether organisational, decorative or the art of feng shui all affect our daily routines moods and physical wellbeing. This is what is referred to as Energy in Holistic Medicine. Seemingly minor or subtle things have an effect in our lives. A regular nuisance in our lives has a detrimental effect on our mood and vision of the world. Things like furniture that we injure ourselves on regularly a tap that drips an inhospitable co-worker or a space that is too dark or too bright all irritate our senses and cause friction in our body and mind. The alternative is modifying these intrusions to alleviate stress to our system and there is a possibility of using this same mechanism to promote peace calm happiness and even joy in our daily lives. Fixing a dripping tap or rearranging furniture is changing the 'energy' of a space and our relationship to it. Introducing a plant, painting or decorative object that we like gives us a pleasance in the atmosphere of our homes and ourselves. It is this that the art of energy healing enhances. Energy healing ranges from interior design and home maintenance to relaxation and the minor differences experienced from different natural shapes, colours, textures, sights and sounds. Benefits of Usui ReikiReiki therapy is a form of alternative healing that involves the use of the practitioner's hands to transfer energy to the recipient. The therapy aims to balance the recipient's energy and promote relaxation, reduce stress, and support the body's natural healing processes. Some potential benefits of Reiki therapy include:
Origin of Usui ReikiReiki is a form of alternative healing that originated in Japan in the early 20th century. The word "Reiki" is made up of two Japanese words: "rei" meaning "spiritual" or "universal," and "ki" meaning "life force energy." Reiki was developed by a Japanese Buddhist monk named Mikao Usui. According to tradition, Usui was seeking a way to help people heal and achieve spiritual enlightenment. He spent many years studying ancient texts and practicing meditation before he had a mystical experience during a meditation retreat on Mount Kurama in Kyoto, Japan. During this experience, Usui is said to have received a powerful spiritual energy that he used to heal himself and others. He called this energy "Reiki" and began teaching others how to use it for healing and spiritual growth. Reiki was introduced to the United States in the 1970s and has since become a popular form of alternative healing around the world. There are now many different forms of Reiki, each with their own unique techniques and practices, but they all share the common goal of promoting healing, relaxation, and spiritual growth. Reiki LineageReiki lineage refers to the line of Reiki masters who have passed down the teachings and practices of Reiki from Mikao Usui, the founder of Reiki, to the current Reiki practitioners. Usui is considered the originator of Reiki, and he taught his methods to a number of students, who went on to teach others in turn. As a result, there are now many different lineages of Reiki, each with their own unique teachings and practices. Some of the most well-known Reiki lineages include:

Peter MarraAcupunctureA great inspiration to me over the years has been my Uncle Peter. He returned from one of his hitchhiking adventures around the Sub Continent bringing silk scarves and trinkets from India to out door when i was a small girl. And I found one of his books about Hinduism in my Grandads book shelf when I was in my early teens. Thus started my sojurn into "Spiritual" studies. Since then I have had the pleasure to visit India myself and learn AYurvedic Mediicine, Yoga and Pranayam from my friend the Lovely Dr Prafullata. Similarly to Dr Prafu and her husband Arun whom provide community aid through the Beyond Borders Social Enterprise, my Uncle Peter Marra also is involved in projects overseas and at home that provide real grass roots benefit to people in need. Peter built permaculture gardens for an orphanage in Peru, did a trial project of unpatented Quinoa seeds from South america that are drough hardy in the drought stricken Timor Leste (formerly East Timor). I ensure that there is time for an Acupuncture session with my Peter whenever he passes through Australia or I am in New Zealand. New Plymouth Acupuncturist |
