Ignite Your Spirit (IYS) therapy is a powerful, gentle, no touch energetic healing modality developed by Shakti Durga through many years of study with spiritual leaders and teachers from all over the world. IYS practitioners are able to “perceive” energy through scanning the aura and chakras to determine where imbalances or blocks are occurring in a client’s energy field. The practitioner then channels universal healing energy and directs it to clean, clear and rebalance the client’s subtle energy centres and channels. This process not only relieves emotional and / or physical blockages, but also allows for deep healing on a mental, emotional and spiritual level. The client may feel the sensation of energy moving as warmth, cooling, tingling or a sense of general release and lightness. IYS therapy encompasses chakra and aura clearing, healing thoughts and beliefs, releasing old trauma, inner child healing, healing depression, anxiety & addictions, releasing inherited patterns, relationship and business healing, colour therapy, raising the vibrational frequencies of the body, raising the consciousness of the whole person and finding and connecting to individual life purpose and soul potential. IYS therapy is designed to improve your health and vitality, decrease pain and chronic conditions, heal relationships, assist you in finding more meaning and direction in life, and help you attain a greater sense of peace, fulfilment, joy and empowerment. Even if you are in perfect health, IYS therapy can be of benefit by keeping you that way! We regularly see the dentist, chiropractor, massage therapist etc for preventative checkups so it makes sense to keep our energy bodies in shape by having regular healings. Qualified Ignite Your Spirit therapists have completed a minimum of two years of training and 80 hours of supervised clinical practice. They are bound by a code of conduct, carry insurance and are accredited by the International Institute of Complementary Therapists (IICT).

Mindfulness involves consciously bringing objective awareness to your everyday experience with openness, interest, receptiveness and compassion. It is increasingly recognised as an effective way to reduce stress, increase self-awareness, enhance emotional intelligence, and effectively manage stressful thoughts and feelings.

Meditation is an effortless state of thoughtless awareness, a state of profound deep peace that occurs when the mind is calm, silent and completely alert. The benefits are:

• Improves focus and concentration • Increases self awareness • Reduces the impact of stressful thoughts and feelings • Enhances performance • Increases resilience, reduces stress (parasympathetic nervous system activity is increased; reduces release of stress hormones) • Enhances emotional intelligence • Increases life satisfaction • Facilitates inner transformation that takes us to a higher level of awareness • Enables us to fulfil our unique potential

Techniques include:

• Focusing on the present moment rather than dwelling on the unchangeable past or undetermined future • Guided visualisation • Mantra, chant • Breathing practices • Resting the mind with a relaxed inward focus • Going beyond the mind to experience our true nature – peace, happiness and bliss

Aromatherapy is the use of aromatic plant oils, known as essential oils, for psychological and physical wellbeing. Essential oils consist of tiny aromatic molecules that are readily absorbed through the skin or via the lungs. The different smells (aromas), and the chemical constituents of the oils, can produce different emotional and physiological reactions. Essential oils can be massaged into the skin, added to bath water or vaporised in an oil burner. When targeting our sense of smell they activate the limbic system and emotional centres of the brain. When applied topically (onto the skin) they affect the systems of the body especially when combined with massage. Aromatherapists suggest the most appropriate method of use and create specific blends of therapeutic essential oils to addresses each individual's particular physical, emotional, mental and or spiritual condition.

Quantum physics tells us that all things are in a state of constant vibration and as such we are affected by the vibrations all around us. Just as we may be negatively affected by noise, pollution, stress and the environment; we may be positively affected by the healing vibrations of sound, colour, touch and crystals. The laying on of stones is an ancient healing art practised by the Mayans, Ancient Egyptians and Native Americans. When crystals are placed on or around the body, the body’s own healing process is stimulated by the resonance between our own molecular structure and that of the crystal. Each type of crystal has its own vibratory frequency which resonates with corresponding parts of our body and our emotional and spiritual states. By placing crystals on or around the body it is possible to focus universal healing energy to assist with clearing negative energy and stimulating self healing. This can also promote a shift in consciousness and lead to experiencing a profound state of peace and relaxation.

Energetic Healing is also effective when done remotely either via phone or skype.

An energetic healing session lasts 1 hour, in which, you may experience one or a mixture of the healing modalities listed above. I work in consultation with you to determine the most beneficial approach for your individual situation.

This varies depending on the person and the issue. Sometimes the healing can feel complete after just one session. Often two or three healings can be most beneficial. For major and ongoing issues which need longer term support, regular healings during this time may be recommended. We can determine this together after the first session.
