 Indian Head Massage, also known as champissage or champiis is a therapeutic treatment that has been practised in India for thousands of years. This type of massage focuses on the head, scalp, face, neck, shoulders and upper back.  This type of massage for Indians is a tradition used on a daily basis. It has been passed on through generations of the family and is encouraged from a very early age in order to promote strong and healthy hair growth. It has also been used by barbers in India as part of the service to their customers. The word Shampoo comes from the Hindi word 'Champi, which means massage of the head.  In India, oils are usually used but it is not necessary, it is a preference of the client. Oils are encouraged though as it promotes healthy hair. Coconut, Sesame, Almond, Olive Oil, Herbal Oils, Buttermilk, Mustard Oil and Henna were all used to keep their long hair strong and in beautiful condition. Now different Aromatherapy oils are used to compliment the healing qualities of an Indian Head Massage  The Indian Head Massage spread across the world and is recommended by both medical and non medical practitioners. As with most Holistic therapies, it is growing in popularity because people are looking for different and more natural ways to heal. It is practiced in salons, spas and health clinics everywhere.

These stones have a rich iron content which retains the heat. The heat and the weight from the stones relaxes the muscles which allows the Therapist to give a light or deep tissue massage.  The practice of Hot Stone Massage/Therapy goes back approximately 5,000 years and there seems to be a little confusion about whether it started in India or in China, but I have also read that it could have been from Greece. I guess no one will ever know, but what we do know is that it is a wonderful treatment for relaxing the muscles in the body which improves both the body and the mind  The physical benefits of Hot Stone Therapy, Relief from pain and muscle spasms Blood flow improvement Increase of blood circulation Increase of energy Flexibility improvement Releases toxins Improves skin appearance  Hot stone massage also has benefits for the mind such as Reducing stress and tension Relieves anxiety and depression Promotes sleep Provides comfort due to the warmth and touch Relaxes the mind Improves Irritability Sending you into a deep relaxed state emotionally  Like all Holistic Therapies the benefits are endless.

To some, healing crystals are just seen as stones, nothing special at all, but when you really think about what Crystals are, it actually starts to make sense of how these beautiful, stunning pieces of our Mother Earth can actually help us. Everything and anything gives off energy and healing Crystals have been gathering the Earths energy for millions of years underground.  The Crystals that we use have been forming underground for millions of years, which means they are part of the Earth, which also means that they hold a huge amount of its energy. A crystals type of energy is determined by the conditions it grows in and the minerals it is formed from. It is said that different Crystals can help with different issues that a person is having such as stress, anxiety, insomnia, menstrual pain, headaches etc  Healing Crystals are often used to balance our body Chakras. During a Chakra Healing session, certain Crystals are placed on a certain part of the body (a certain Chakra) in order to clear any blockages which is stopping the body from running smoothly. I have a specific large collection which I use for Chakra healing and clearing.  Crystals can be used for a stand alone Crystal Healing treatment or they can be used as part of another therapy such as Reiki. I love to place all of the Chakra Crystals down the body as I am practising Reiki, of course it is completely up to the client whether they are used or not. It is said that due to there being so much energy and vibrations from the Earth in a crystal, it has the ability to connect with our own energy to alter imbalances in the body.  During a treatment, Crystals are placed either around or directly on the body in order to balance the body physically, mentally, emotionally and Spiritually. As I said, different Crystals help with different issues, for example Amethyst is known to enhance Spiritual awareness, soothes and calms the mind, purifies negative energy and relieves stress and anxiety. Here I have only stated a few, Amethyst has so many benefits because it is one of the most powerful. It is a Crystal that I always have near during Meditation.  There are so many Crystals that it would be impossible to list them all with their healing properties in this blog, (unless you want to be reading this for hours on end) so I will just do a summary of how Crystals in general can help your health and well being. Eases depression, anxiety, stress Enhances Psychic and Spiritual awareness Calms the mind Protects against negativity Helps to keep you grounded Can help soothe a person during grieving Can bring luck Balances the Chakras Attracts love Can help Insomnia Boosts your energy Like all Holistic Therapies the benefits are endless.

Epilepsy Schizophrenia severe personality disorder severe depression and anxiety Angina Cancer high blood pressure wears a hearing aid (OK if able to remove for treatment) recent heart attack pregnancy during third trimesters Bliss Holistic Healing xx  A Holistic Massage at Bliss is a therapeutic massage. We focus on healing the whole of a person which is the mind, body, emotional and Spiritual parts that make us who we are. The physical massage takes care of the body to relieve stress and tension, which then relaxes the mind, clearing out any emotional blockages which can relieve symptoms such as depression or anxiety. It also speaks to you Spiritually whilst you are in a deep state of relaxation.  A Reiki Massage is a Holistic Massage with 10 minutes of Reiki added. Personally this is my favourite type of massage because it works to heal a person on every level. The added Reiki time just adds that extra bit of healing. Aromatherapy Pure Essential Oils are a preference although I would 100% recommend them due to the amount of goodness and healing qualities that are in them. Just the smell alone from Essential Oils can have amazing results, helping problems such as Insomnia or anxiety.  In our modern way of living many people do not seem to realise that physical illness effects the mind and vise versa. It is so important to take care of the whole body in order to be fully balanced. We don't seem to see the importance of taking time out to care for ourselves but I can't stress enough just how important it actually is!  Before I was Spiritually aware, I never used to think about taking the time to just be me, to have some alone time, to relax and unwind because I thought it seemed selfish and wrong for putting myself before others. I have come to realise that I need that time away from everyone and everything to recharge, to let go of tension, anxiety, stress and irritability otherwise it just keeps building up. I came to realise that by looking after me, I am then looking after others.  A Holistic or Reiki Massage is the perfect way to unwind and relax every part of you so that you can be the best version of yourself. Here are some of the benefits Soothes and calms the mind Soothes aching, sore muscles Relieves stress and tension throughout your whole self Boosts self esteem Increases circulation Reduces inflammation Lifts brain fog Eases depression and anxiety Releases and relieves emotional distress Clears energy blocks Improves the condition of the skin Balances the Chakras Provides comfort Increases energy levels Like all Holistic Therapies the benefits are endless.

Traditionally cups have been made out of Buffalo Horn, glass, Bamboo, bronze and tin but are now also available in plastic and silicone.  There are a few different ways of practicing cupping, one is called Dry Cupping, also known as static cupping. This is when the cups are placed on areas of the body and left there for a period of time. Back in the day a flame was used to produce a vacuum in a cupping vessel, which was then applied to the skin, this is still used by some practitioners who prefer to do Cupping the traditional way but now it seems that most therapists use the plastic versions which have a pump to create the suction instead.  Another way is called Wet Cupping. This one involves the practitioner making a small incision on the skin, placing the cup back over and letting the suction draw out a small amount of blood which is said to remove negative toxins from the body to promote natural healing  Although these techniques are extremely effective, they do leave the dreaded red circle that is associated with Cupping due to the cups being placed in one area for a period of time. The way around this is using the gliding technique which is the one that I use. It is done with silicone cups which are soft, flexible and easy to man oeuvre over the body areas whilst still keeping suction.  Massage oils are used to provide a lubricant for the cups to glide over the body, pulling up the skin and muscles with it as it moves along. This means that you are getting all of the benefits of a Cupping treatment but with a little more relaxation and of course NO RED CIRCLES! Of course there are still some people who do prefer the static cupping option and I do offer this as one of my treatments. Having a Cupping massage stimulates the natural healing response of the body and some of the benefits of this treatment are Pain relief Improved blood flow and circulation Stress and tension relief Encourages detoxification by stimulating the blood and lymph flow Promotes relaxation Reduces cellulite Muscle relaxation Like all Holistic Therapies the benefits are endless. A Cupping Massage at Bliss is a wonderful way to promote natural healing around the body and to relax the mind, body and soul together.

Every single person at some point in their life is going to get down and stressed. In our modern world people have forgotten what is most important and have become too focused on material things and work our fingers to the bones to get what we want. This is not a bad thing at all!, its great that people work for what they want in life..but what I am saying is that by doing this, we can put a huge amount of pressure on ourselves and sometimes other people pile the pressure on too!  Being able to provide amazing things for yourself and your family is great but sometimes we feel under pressure to get things right. Sometimes you might feel like you just want to scream but you have no one to scream or vent to. This is where a counselor comes in. At first it might feel strange going to tell all of your worries and troubles to a complete stranger but trust me, once you get talking there will be no stopping you.  There are many other reasons why you would seek help from a counselor such as bereavement, trauma, anger issues, depression, anxiety, the list is endless. Talking is extremely underrated as a therapy because it sounds so simple, but when you think about it, how many times have you blurted something out that has been bothering you for so long or finally let yourself have a good cry over something you have been bottling up and then feel better for it?  Unfortunately not everyone has someone they can blurt things out to though or it might be that they don't feel comfortable showing their feelings to the people around them. This is what makes a counselor so perfect to speak to. They won't judge you, they will be helping you with a situation that is completely new to them which enables them to put an outsiders perspective on things. You won't be interrupted and will be properly listened to with compassion and interest.  But the therapy doesn't stop there! You will be able to build up a strong connection and relationship with your counselor so that they will be able to guide you through your troubles, offer advice and help to point you in the right direction of getting through your toughest times. You also might be wondering what makes ME a good talking therapy counselor? Well not only have I trained for it, but I have been through some of the worst life experiences possible so will be able to relate to A LOT of your own dark times and problems to guide you through it. I am a naturally gifted Spiritual Medium, Healer, Empath, Certified Mindfulness Life Coach and most importantly and last of all...I just really have a passion to help people!  So the benefits of a Talking Therapy session with me are Depression and anxiety relief Stress and tension relief Increased confidence Ability to manage stress Ability to problem solve Feeling less lonely A sense of self awareness and understanding Feeling supported Learn skills to calm the busy mind through mindfulness or meditation Seeing things from a different perspective Gaining advice on seeking other kinds of professional help Like all Holistic Therapies the benefits are endless. Talking Therapy at Bliss is a wonderful way to promote natural healing around the body and to relax the mind, body and soul together. Unfortunately we may be unable to offer Talking Therapy to people who suffer severely with the following.. (please contact us though for more information as we still may be able to offer treatment)
Psychosis Schizophrenia Dementia drug and alcohol addiction severe personality disorder severe Bipolar severe PTSD severe depression or anxiety eating disorders Cognitive impairment Epilepsy serious heart condition high blood pressure pregnancy in the first 3 trimesters take medication which makes you drowsy and alters the state of mind Bliss Holistic Healing xx  Hopi Ear Candling is said to originate from the Ancient Greeks. It is also said to have been practiced by the 'Indian Hopi tribe' which is apparently where it got its name. However...after doing more research the Hopi tribe have confirmed in the past that they do not use this method of healing and never have, so where it came from exactly is still unknown.  There have apparently even been disputes with the Hopi Tribe and leading ear candle makers about using the Hopi name. How true this is I really have no idea. So I will just stick to the facts that this type of treatment has been used for thousands of years and practised by Ancient Greeks, Egyptians and Romans.  An ear candle does not look like a traditional candle. It is more of a cone type tube made of unbleached cotton and beeswax. This tube is then placed into the ear canal and set alight. The flame creates a vacuum suction which is said to draw out impurities.  I am going to confirm an extremely important thing to note about ear candling before you book an appointment for this treatment....IT DOES NOT REMOVE EAR WAX! Also THE DEBRIS LEFT IN THE CANDLE IS NOT WAX FROM YOUR EAR IT IS MORE LIKELY TO BE FROM THE CANDLE ITSELF! Many other therapists and Holistic practitioners either like to tell you differently or they genuinely believe that it does, but after doing research and having done my own experiments I can confirm that it is not likely to all be wax from your ear. When an ear candle is lit and placed in the ear, the results and debris left in the candle are exactly the same as when a candle is lit and just held burning out of the ear. Once the candle is opened up you are likely to see clumps of wax which is from the burning candle itself and not your ear. Some therapists also say that the crackling during the treatment is the candle removing the wax when in fact the crackling is literally because there is a flame burning down a tube in your ear! However..I do believe that it draws out some impurities because the ears do feel a lot clearer after treatment. I have also had some clients where we have opened up the candles and there has been more wax in one than in the other, they have then confirmed that the one with the most debris in was the ear that felt most blocked and now felt better. Based on this I believe it could be either coincidence or that the ear candle treatment does remove SOME impurities and toxins which then mixes with the candle wax causing more debris to be in one more than the other. But again this is not a fact and not guaranteed. When someone books in for Hopi Ear Candling I will always explain all of this and advertise it more of a relaxation therapy and not a way of removing wax!  After each ear is treated, a facial and ear massage is given in order to further release blockages in the ears and sinuses. So here are the POSSIBLE benefits of an Ear Candling session due to the ears feeling a lot clearer after treatment.. Eases Headaches Reduces stress and tension Eases Tinnitus Clears brain fog Reduces jaw pain Draws out debris and impurities Helps sore throats Releases ear and sinus blockage Can help decrease snoring Provides warmth and comfort due to to the heat Provides relaxation Improves blood circulation Balances the Throat, Third Eye and Crown Chakras Improves hearing Stimulates the bodies immune system Reduces anxiety Improves colour perception Improves taste Relief from cold and Flu Reduce snoring Like all Holistic Therapies the benefits are endless. Hopi Ear Candling at Bliss is a wonderful way to promote natural healing around the body and to relax the mind, body and soul together.  Unfortunately we may be unable to offer Hopi Ear Candling to people who suffer severely with the following.. (please contact us though for more information as we still may be able to offer treatment)

A stick or rod is rolled and kneaded on the body to provide an amazing massage experience with amazing results. The heat from the sticks provide warmth and enables deeper body work to be done.  The Bamboo tools and sticks come in various sizes meaning different parts of the body can be worked on including the face with smaller, thinner ones. This kind of massage is equivalent to deep tissue massage which I do not offer as one of my therapies for a reason. At Bliss-Holistic Therapies I like to offer treatments that are a little bit different and interesting.  The Bamboo sticks are used as a tool to help warm up the muscles so that a deep tissue massage can be done both with the hands and of course the Bamboo tools. It gets out the tightest of knots and literally rolls out all of the tension. This method of massage has been widely used in Asian countries such as China, Indonesia and Japan, it is a relatively new kind of treatment in Europe but is now becoming more popular worldwide.  Hollow Bamboo sticks, tools or stalks of all different widths, lengths and weights are used for this amazing treatment. Bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants on Earth and is used for a wide range of things such as medicine, food, weaponry, health and beauty products, clothing, musical instruments, kitchenware, furniture and more! It can literally be turned into anything!   Due to Bamboo being so natural filled with lots of the Earth's goodness, that is what makes it so perfect for massage treatments and has many benefits.. Relief from pain and muscle spasms Blood flow improvement Increase of blood circulation Increase of energy Flexibility improvement Releases toxins Improves skin appearance Reducing stress and tension Relieves anxiety and depression Promotes sleep Provides comfort due to the warmth and touch Relaxes the mind Improves Irritability Sending you into a deep relaxed state emotionally Enables a deep tissue massage with an interesting twist  Like all Holistic Therapies the benefits are endless.
