Energy and Chakra Balancing course update

This course will run again in 2008. If you would like me to notify you of the new date, please email me at suericks@suericks.com and I will contact you as soon as the date is confirmed.

Quote from a recent course: “an eye opening and life altering experience” KM.

The course is quite in-depth and for those who are ready to learn more and go beyond the first levels of understanding in reflexology. It awakens a whole new world for those who are interested in knowing and understanding more about how we work and how some energy techniques and remedies can improve lives. This is even for quite complex issues in people’s lives i.e. when someone experiences a life trauma then the energy of that time can get “locked into their system and die- ease can follow. This may manifest as physical or emotional ill health. There is a great deal that we can do to assist our clients and got some amazing results.

The course includes the following:

Chakras, - what they are and what we need to know to enhance our treatments and understanding.
How your aura protects you and how to enhance yourself and others,
Where the chakras are on the feet,
Why some people get certain types of conditions,
Practical Vibrational healing,
Past time and experience release - excellent if someone has a trauma in the past; (as we do not need to revisit it - just release it (if possible).
Pre-conceptual energy and gestation patterns, conception to birth energy work.

All this via the feet!

Some of the results from previous courses have been amazing and numerous students report using the techniques for this workshop all the time. Jean found it “mind blowing and awe inspiring” and has continued to use the skills with all of her clients. She reports that the energy work has become a major part of her practice and most clients report feeling great sensations both during and after the treatment.

Helen had experienced a tough time during her early years and she shared some of her difficult experiences during a treatment of Gentle Touch™ Reflexology. Jean was able to adapt the treatment to specifically target the time of the life trauma that Helen had just discussed. All of this was done without Jean’s client being interrupted while she talked. Jean explained that she waited for the right time to start the energy work and almost immediately the client (Helen) “filled up” and went quite. During that time she had a far away look in her eye. After some minutes of silence she looked up and said she had felt some very strong emotions but now felt the incident was more in perspective and she felt calmer.

The energy and chakra work with clients is very powerful as many situations will impact on our lives and affect our energy system. When events, experiences and life situations happen, they also can affect and are imprinted on the energy of certain corresponding chakras and energy points in the feet. Not only can we “read” things from the feet (see foot reading in formation and training)

But we can learn to “feel” thing too. I use the chakra balancing and time-release work techniques all the time in my clinic. I find then invaluable. I feel very honoured to witness that changes that it can bring. Not only can it make such a difference to clients, but I also lover the fact that neither the clients (nor the practitioner) have to revisit the traumatic time. We can just work with the energy blocks and chakra locations and assist the clients quickly, sensitively and effectively.

When we understand the energetic implication of how certain conditions, illnesses and emotional situation all interlink, then we (as practitioners) can offer much more value to our clients as we can work more effectively and with great understanding and awareness of the possible causes and ways forward.

Certain medical procedures (even when they are routine) can have an energetic impact that can be soothed by chakra balancing and energy focused techniques. It is common for a lady who has experienced a D & C (dilation and curettage) to get some lovely results from chakra balancing and time release work.

Men can find that they feel more comfortable with themselves and more relax about life when they are able to let go of past time of stress. This can assist then in numerous ways ie lower high blood pressure, relieve headaches and improve concentration. Recently my client had good result from over coming impotence by receiving Gentle Touch™ Reflexology and additional energy and chakra work.

The more skills that you have available to more comforting it is to the practitioner. Knowing that you have more skills increases the chance of you knowing something that may assist the next client who walks through your door. Clients arrive with such a variety of things that it is always good to learn a few more techniques. Luckily these are some of the simplest but most effective skills and techniques. All you need is understanding, awareness and the willingness to learn.

Past students of the Vibrational Healing and Chakra balancing course (including timer release work), have said the following:

“I have always known that there was more to my reflexology and now I know so much more about things that I can do to make a real difference” Chris B

“Energy work is so exciting and rewarding. My clients certainly notice and appreciate the benefits.” Barbara H

'The energy workshop was extremely fascinating. It covers various techniques that enable you to incorporate energy healing into your normal reflexology routine. I use these techniques on most of my clients, who have all benefited. I feel it gives me that extra something that is sometimes needed to help the client re-balance him or herself. A great way to spend the day, getting lots from it not only for your clients but on a personal level too.' Di S

“The tuition was well presented and I found I really grasped the energetic side of reflexology this time. The practical work was amazing! I got a real result myself and I do not usually feel things!” Claire M

“I can’t wait to try it out on my clients. I think they are going to love it.” Phillip

“The day was a thoroughly enjoyable way of topping up on my own energy levels as well as learning new ways to look at the whole concept of energy. It taught me ways of understanding my own energy as well as that which is all around us plus most usefully other peoples’ energy. A life enriching experience.” Kath
