Escape Winter with Reflexology

Reflexology Treatments help eliminate winter blues…

It’s officially winter and if you think like us, then you’re probably wishing your were in Florida or some other warm location right about now. This isn’t possible for most of us, so we recommend a totally relaxing and de-stressing 1 hour Reflexology session to take the edge off winter!

Our warm studio awaits you (and a friend or spouse if you want to have a session together). You’ll be treated to a 1 hour relaxing Reflexology Session by a RRCO Certified Reflexologist, enjoy soothing music (we even have caribbean and cuban music if you want that vacation feeling) and have all your body systems brought into balance and harmony so that you’ll feel wonderful for days!

About Reflexology:

Reflexology is a Holistic Treatment whereby reflex points on the feet are massaged and stimulated. These reflex points correspond to all the glands, organs and skeletal structure of the body. By stimulating these points the Reflexologist is able to detect energy congestion and in many case “clear” it to restore balance and harmony. Reflexology has been in use for thousands of years and originated at the Medicine Temples in Japan.

Reflexology practitioners in Ontario are self regulated by a professional associate called the Reflexology Registration Council of Ontario. Although some Insurance companies now cover Reflexology treatments under “other holistic treatments” the RRCO is still working hard to get more insurance companies to cover reflexology. If you want to find out if your health insurance company covers Reflexology, please contact your insurance company.

Pricing:

We offer full 1 hour Reflexology sessions for just $55.00. If you decide to purchase a block of 3 sessions, you save $15.00 per session ( 3 session package is just $120.00). Please feel free to call us at 905-571-6540 for more information or to book an appointment.

Hypnosis helps with weight loss

Al — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 13:18:35 +0000

People who have never experienced hypnosis have the idea that all hypnosis is like a Hypnosis Stage Show, the fact is that it is nothing like that at all. People who volunteer for a stage show are doing so because they want to have fun, let loose and experience crazy stuff. When you are experiencing Hypnosis for something like Weight Loss it’s much different.

First, all Hypnosis is self hypnosis. This means that you are the one that is in control and you’re the one that actually allows the experience to take place. You can end the Hypnosis at any time and will always be aware of what is going on around you.

So how can Hypnosis help you to lose weight? When you allow yourself to go into Hypnosis and relax completely the mind becomes more accepting of positive suggestions and possibilities. It is easier to visualize yourself at your goal weight and imagine what that will feel like when you’re in Hypnosis, but more importantly it provides the opportunity to change unconscious behaviours that are taking place automatically. For example, have you ever been upset and found yourself in the kitchen looking for something to eat without even thinking about it? What would you rather do instead of reaching for food at those times? Through Hypnosis we can teach the unconscious mind quite easily that the old behaviour is undesired and you want to replace it with a new, more beneficial beahviour. The unconscious mind will then make the changes necessary to produce the new behaviour.

This is just one example of how we use Hypnosis in the Weight Loss process, the bottom line is we can help you to experience what it will be like to reach your goal weight and align both your conscious and unconscious mind so that you have a much better chance of being successful.

When we combine Hypnosis with NLP techniques as we do in my Weight Loss Program “Begin to be Thin” the process becomes even more powerful as you learn powerful tools that will help you take back the control and change your relationship with food for life!

Sleep better with Hypnosis

Al — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 12:47:19 +0000

Insomnia or difficulty falling asleep affects over 64 million people in North America and millions more around the world. Although insomnia can be a symptom of other health problems, for many people it is simply an inability to calm the mind that keeps them awake. It’s also a self perpetuating problem because once you begin to TRY to get to sleep it becomes almost impossible to do so. To make matters worse, if the problem persists for several nights, anxiety can then become a factor as you begin to worry in advance, that you won’t be able to fall asleep when you go to bed.

Hypnosis provides a quick and easy solution for many people who suffer from insomnia. The structure of the language patterns used by Hypnotists causes the listener to attach their own meaning to certain statements that the practitioner is making, thereby occupying the conscious mind while suggestions are given to help the listener enter into a state of physical relaxation. It’s not long before you just find yourself deeply relaxed and drifting along as you listen to all the positive suggestions the Hypnotist is providing.

Some people who have never experienced Hypnosis may not consider it a viable option because they have seen Hypnotists at stage shows or on TV that seem to have control over peoples actions. The fact is that all Hypnosis is Self Hypnosis and it is the listener that actually has control over the experience. When you are in Hypnosis, you can stop or pop out of the experience any time you wish.

In our Hypnosis recordings, we also provide suggestions that will “break the insomnia cycle”. On of the ways to achieve this is by teaching the unconscious mind to respond in a desired way to a specific phrase. For example, once the listener is in a very deep state of physical relaxation, the phrase “sleep now” can be associated to the state so that in the future the listener need only say or think that statement 3 times in order to return to the restful state. This is referred to as anchoring because it “anchors” a physical or mental state (in this case deep relaxation) to a specific phrase or action. Best of all, once the unconscious mind learns this, getting to sleep gets easier and easier.

So don’t be afraid to give Hypnosis a try if you suffer from insomnia, it really can help and you may just find yourself sleeping better that you have in a very long time.

Pamper Your Feet

Al — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 17:12:04 +0000

Did you know that most people take between 8,000 and 10,000 steps every day. That’s a lot of wear and tear on the tissues and bone structure of your feet. Since your feet contain over 25% of the body’s bones and over 7000 nerve endings, when our feet are tired or hurt it tends to be reflected in the whole body.

Most people will walk about 185,000km in their lifetime and if your job requires you to spend a lot of time on your feet, then you’re “mileage” may be even higher. The feet are the one area of your body that you can pamper that will help you to feel better all over.

So how can we keep our feet in optimal condition? The answer is a holistic foot treatment called Reflexology. Reflexology dates back to 690ad and originated in Japan. It was brought to North America approximately 85 years ago and was then called Zone Therapy.

The benefits of having Reflexology done on your feet are numerous. Not only does Reflexology refresh and revitalize all the muscle tissues in the feet, it improves circulation and allows the recipient to completely relax and de-stress. Many people who have Reflexology for the first time can’t believe how much better their feet feel and many people who spend time at work standing for long periods of time say that their feet feel much better for days.

Reflexology is much more than a foot massage. Certified Reflexologists have very specific techniques for stimulating reflex points in the feet (much like acupressure) that correspond to all the glands and organs of the body. Sometimes the Reflexologist may find imbalance in a particular reflex and will then work that point to restore balance. This helps to restore an overall sense of balance and well being.

Moments Of Magic – Optimal Mind & Body provides both 30 minute Reflexology Massage and 60 minute full Reflexology sessions. The 30 minute sessions are great for people who spend a lot of time on their feet and would like to have sessions more often to keep their feet feeling great. The 60 minute sessions focus more specifically on each reflex point and restoring balance from a holistic point of view. Both sessions are extremely relaxing.
