NLP & Hypnotherapy

NLP, is an abbreviation for Neuro Linguistic Programming. Its easy to understand it when you take it word by word. Its all about Linguistically (verbally, using language) re-programming the negative thinking patterns (neurologically recorded) we have established in our lives. ‘Oh god I am not good enough OR I will never be well OR I could never do this or that OR I am so stupid OR or any negative ways we have of looking at our life and present situation. We are our own harshest critics, but we can change the way we think and think our way to success and wellness. This direct and simple approach is one of the most successful strategies in the world for improving lives. Break the chains of thought and you break the chains that bind you

Past Life Regression

This therapy provides an opportunity for you to safely and temporarily regress (go back to an earlier state or position). It may be that you have a past life experience that needs to be recalled for understanding or healing. You may have a need to have more than just 'de ja vous' experiences explained. Its a wonderful way to understand who we were in the past and how those past lives influence our present journey. It can be fun and is always interesting and revealing. For a further explanation of Past Life Regression please visit the website of a colleague of mine here.

Tree and Earth Energies Explored - Experience Dowsing

We have the elements of earth, fire, water, and air. Each with there own unique set of gifts within the whole and bound together by the element of ether, spirit or Chi. The choice of language depends on your cultural experience, the Christian may well say the Holy Spirit for example.

The Earth like us has energy centres (chakras) and these centres are connected by meridians called ley lines. These energies can be detected by dowsing and by dowsing we can establish their nature. Some are good some not so good.

Trees are always good and the energy they are willing to share with us is a combination of the knowledge of the tree itself, all the trees that ever were, that are and that ever will be. The trees bring us the energy of the earth, the wind the sun and the rain.

Dowsing is a wonderful simple information gathering technique that will reveal answers about all sorts of situations in life. From a simple direct yes or no answer to defining allergies that may be affecting us or our children.

Shamanic Training

The Shaman is a priest of the universe with many skills and gifts that he or she can rely on to assist with his work. In dictionary terms a priest "is an ordained minister/a minister of any religion / an official who offers sacrifice on behalf of the people and performs other religious ceremonies". The shaman relies on many old tried and tested techniques to achieve the results that he and those who come to him are seeking. Those tools include journeying between worlds to find knowledge, answers or helpers to achieve the best outcome for all. The drum is a primary tool in his repertory; its hypnotic effect is well known throughout the ages. The sound and rhythm of the drum can ‘still’ the prattle of the brain and bring you into an Alpha wave state of consciousness very quickly. While the Shaman of different cultures use different disciplines and tools, all have a common origin and purpose and all have endured through the millennia.

Reiki Courses

Pat has been a teaching and practising Reiki Master for about ten years now. This beautiful, simple and very effective natural healing system is available to all. During a visit you can have sessions from Pat. Of course you will be welcome to undergo training and initiation into the gentle healing way of Miko Usui. Professor Miko Usui was the man in the 1840’s who re-introduced this ancient energy healing system to humanity. He searched for many years to find a system to bring wellness into the lives of people. The Reiki practitioner is opened as a channel or pathway for universal energy to flow ‘thru to the client or recipient. It works on the physical and non-physical levels & can be transmitted over distance and time. Pat will be glad to give you a session of therapy. Later perhaps train you to Level One and on to Level Two. Later again perhaps to Reiki Master as you and he feel you are ready to progress.

Crystal and Energy Healing/Chara Balancing

There are many wonderful benefits to be had from these perfect gifts from the earth element. As beautiful decorations they bring their own special ambience to any place where they are displayed. To balance energy in a room or to repel negativity they are practical tangible tools. In Chakra balancing and healing they are powerful allies.

As objects for meditation and guided relaxations they take you to places that you might never have otherwise accessed. They can be used in many magical rituals as tools in their own right or indeed to maintain a sacred space.

Card Readings

Pat reads a series of medicine cards. They are a Native US Indian card. All the images depict scenes from the Indian culture. They are not the Tarot but have a matching card for every card in a Tarot set. Pat gets his insights from the Shamanic world where his guide Shimo retrieves information for the lady or gent seeking information.

Information will be revealed that will bring understanding to Past Present and Future events. The readings are insightful and are always concerned with the more profound aspects of the seekers life. Come with a sincere desire for understanding and knowledge about any aspect of your life and you will leave with a clearer sense of knowing where from, where to and where now.

Meditation

Much has been written and will be written again about this most wonderful of techniques.

We take the simpler approach to this aspect of our spirituality. Meditation is not guided relaxation, nor indeed is it about drifting of into an unconscious relaxed state. It is about the practice of single mind focus where you remain in an alert but focused state of awareness. It cannot be taught only learned by persistence and repetition. It brings all sorts of benefits, not least of which is improved concentration. There are physiological benefits also, improved breathing, lowered blood pressure to mention just two. The ability to relax and reduce or eliminate habitual tensions from our lives and an improved listening ability are other treasures found along the wayside as we master meditation.

Meditation is about mental discipline, the purpose of which is to train the mind to experience the inner world of the mind and the soul. Breath, sound, vibration (drumming), mantras and mandalas are some of the tools that we use to assist us on our exploration of meditation. At Coolbagh we will provide you with the quietness and the support as well as instructing you in the basic techniques. If you are already on the path we will help you deepen your experience.

Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy is well established as a complimentary medicine practice. The essence of flowers and plants is extracted keeping as much of the vital force of the plant as possible still with the oil that is extracted. The essence is then introduced by way of massage, vaporiser, or in a bath. Oils in combination synergise. By that is meant that if an oil had a value of two and it was added to another oil with a value of say three, the combined strength would be greater than the expected value of five.

We all know how wonderfully evocative and uplifting a pleasing aroma can be. Robert Tisserand and others have established scientific formula for treating the full range of physical and emotional challenges that we are likely to encounter in modern living.

Ki-Massage

Ki Massage, this is the combining of the oldest practice in the world with life energy. When we hit ourselves we instinctively rub the tender area. Who amongst us does not enjoy a ‘good rub’ whenever we are lucky enough to receive it. Well that ‘good rub’ is given in a therapeutic application in combination with ki or chi energy. Pat is trained in this combined massage technique which he has used successfully for over ten years to treat a range of physical and no physical problems. Problems aside it is a most enjoyable and refreshing experience no matter what the reason for making an appointment.
