Hopi Ear Candling
This safe and gentle ear candling treatment is derived from Shamanistic tradition, whose historic roots can be traced back to North and South American Indians. The Hopi Indians first carried this tradition to Europe.
The Biosun Hopi candles used contain only pure beeswax, honey extract and traditional herbs such as Sage and Chamomile. These are regularly tested and are certified medical products according to EC guidleines 93/42 (EEC).
Ear candles are siad to work by causing a light suction action. The chimney effect causes a gentle vibration and gentle massaging effect on the the ear drum. The whole experience is relaxing, inducing a pleasant feeling of warmth and balance of pressure in both ears, forehead and sinuses.

Lifeskills is a professional approach to using natural therapies and lifeskills techniques as an aid to stress reduction and to promote health and well-being.
Individuals or groups can benefit from
- Meditation.
- Breath work.
- Simple exercises and stretches.
- Positive thinking.
Lifeskills is a complementary therapy and not a replacement for counselling or medical treatment but is based on the principle that the mind, body and soul are closely intertwined and reflect each other. Lifeskills techniques and meditation allow the mind and body time to relax and absorb life and changes, when we have insufficient time to allow this normally natural process to occur.

Meditation and Mindfulness
Meditation - is now recognised as a powerful tool in managing stress, focusing attention, and increasing brain power.
Scientists at Liverpool John Moors University found people who meditated had higher speeds, made fewer errors and were less distracted.
Exeter University reports depression can be helped through meditation; four months after starting Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, which is based on yoga and meditation, 3/4 of patients felt well enough to stop taking anti-depressants.

From Daizan Julian Skinner of Zenways
'Zenways - "Benefits of Meditation & Mindfulness". Most people think of meditation and mindfulness as primarily mental exercises and the benefits they seek are often on a mental level. But meditation also has well-established physical effects:
Perhaps the most obvious mental effect is the skill of concentration that develops through this work. This increased ability to concentrate leads to increased mental clarity. Less obvious is the way that it also leads to relaxation.
Out of this also comes a heightened ability to learn.
...
As we become more grounded and strong mentally, we naturally experience an expansion of awareness. It’s as if, as we become less preoccupied with our own drama, we become more able to see what’s right in front of us. Some people have said that it’s like the world goes from black and white to glorious technicolor.
And this expansion of awareness goes for relationships. Research has shown that regular meditators display increased empathy and at the same time detachment. What this means in practice is you can connect with others without being too affected by the response you get.'
