10 Steps to Practice Indian Head Massage on Yourself

As some of you may already know, Indian Head Massage (IHM) is a form of Ayurvedic massage therapy focused on the upper-back, arms, head, neck and face areas. It has numerous physical and mental benefits, including: relaxation of muscles and the whole body, improvement of blood and lymph circulation and joints’ movements, promoting hair growth and good sleep quality, relieving from headache and sinusitis, reducing stress and anxiety.

Since this practice is so powerful and brings so much well-being, it would be a pity to miss out just because maybe we don’t have the time or the money to spend, or we can’t find the right therapist nearby.

The little guide that follows will allow you to experience the benefits of IHM, thanks to the practice of self-massage, in 10 easy steps!

PREPARE THE ROOM

Self-massage should be done at a slow, easy pace, so make sure you allow yourself plenty of time to complete your treatment. Ensure that the room you intend to use is warm and comfortable and that you are not going to be disturbed.

Wear clothing that is loose to allow free movement. Choose a chair that has good back support but one that does not have a back that is of a height that will interfere with the massage movements.

PREPARE YOURSELF

Place your hands on your lap and close your eyes. You now need to relax to experience the full benefits of the massage. Visualisation or breathing exercises are often the best methods to use because of their calming effect, but use anything that works best for you.

Complete a little upper-body stretch to be ready to begin.

  1. STEP ONE: Pour approximately one tablespoon of the pre-blended oil into the palm of one hand and apply it to the crown of the head. (You can skip this step if you don’t want to use oil).
  2. STEP TWO: Beginning at either side of the head, massage your fingers into the hair, working towards the crown. Gradually work towards the front and back of the head until the oil is distributed evenly over the complete head (if you are using oil).
  3. STEP THREE: Gently massage over the entire head using your fingers and your thumbs. This creates friction and warmth, which will relax the head muscles.
  4. STEP FOUR: Using both hands, grip large clumps of hair at the roots and tug from side to side. Keep the knuckles very close to the scalp. This movement increases the flexibility of the scalp.
  5. STEP FIVE: With the heel of the hands on the temples, apply firm pressure and make large, slow circular movements over the temples.
  6. STEP SIX: With the head tilted forward, using alternate hands, squeeze and roll the muscles at the back of the neck, starting at the base of the skull and working downwards. Repeat several times. Step 6
  7. STEP SEVEN: Place the thumbs on either side of the base of the skull just under the occiput. Rub firmly using small, circular movements. Step 7
  8. STEP EIGHT: Using the right hand, apply a medium pressure to the left upper shoulder area near the neck and gently squeeze the muscle tissue. Continue this movement along the full length of the shoulder. Repeat twice more. Apply this technique to the other shoulder. Step 8
  9. STEP NINE: With the palm of the right hand on the base of the left hand side of the neck, rub firmly downwards along the shoulder and upper arm to the elbow for 3 times. Apply to the left hand side using the right palm. This technique will remove toxins, improve muscle tone and increase circulation. Step 9
  10. STEP TEN: To complete the massage, gently rub both hands over the whole of the head and onto the face.

Are you more Vata, Pitta or Kapha?

Ayurvedic medicine is based on the belief that the world is made up of 5 elements: ether, water, earth, fire and air. A combination of each element results in 3 energies, known as “doshas“: Vata, Pitta and Kapha.

As well as the elements, also the doshas can be found in everyone and everything, but in different proportions. The unique ratio of doshas within each of us, usually with one standing out more than the others, provides us with a personal blueprint for optimal health (or our constitution), and influences our individual physical, mental, and emotional traits.

An Ayurvedic practitioner can help you find out your personal ratio of dosha and give you more in depth information and advice about keep yourself health and balanced with diet, meditation, exercises, etc.

VATA

Vata is considered as the leader of the 3 doshas and the principle of mobility, as it consists mostly of ether and air. Because it governs all movements and activities, it is associated with breathing, heart beat, muscle contraction, communication (thoughtout mind and nervous system), creativity and flexibility.

Those with Vata as predominant dosha are usually described as slim, energetic, and creative. They’re known for thinking outside the box but can become easily distracted. Their mood is highly dependent on the weather, people around them, and foods they eat.

Strengths: learn quickly, highly creative, multitasker, kind-hearted, flexible, “on the go,” naturally slim.

Weaknesses: forgetful, anxious, unstable mood, can get overwhelmed easily, highly sensitive to the cold, has trouble sleeping, irregular appetite and eating patterns, prone to digestive issues and gas, poor circulation.

PITTA

Pitta represents the energy of transformation (neither mobile or stable, but “spreading”) and is associated with the fire and water element. This dosha relates to intelligence, understanding, and the digestion of foods, thoughts, emotions, and experiences.

Known for being associated with tenacious and strong personalities, people Pitta-dominant are said to be muscly, athletic and have leadership qualities. They’re highly motivated, goal-oriented, and competitive. Still, their aggressive and tenacious nature can lead to conflict.

Strengths: intelligent, purposeful, self-determined, masters skills easily, strong desire for success, strong, natural leaders, quick metabolism, good circulation, healthy skin and hair.

Weaknesses: impatient, prone to conflict, always hungry, mood swings when hungry, prone to acne and inflammation, sensitive to hot temperatures.

KAPHA

Kapha is based on earth and water and lends structure, solidity, and cohesiveness to all things. This dosha hydrates all cells and systems, lubricates the joints, moisturizes the skin, maintains immunity, and protects the tissues.

Kapha people are described as strong, thick-boned, and caring. They’re known for keeping things together and being a support system for others. Kapha-dominant people rarely get upset, think before acting, and go through life in a slow, deliberate manner.

Strengths: empathetic, caring, trusting, patient, calm, wise, happy, romantic, strong bones and joints, healthy immune system.

Weaknesses: prone to weight gain, slow metabolism, sluggishness, over-sleeping, breathing issues, mucus buildup, susceptible to depression, needs regular motivation and encouragement.

IMBALANCED DOSHAS

An imbalance dosha can cause all sort of problems, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. How do we recognise when we have a bit of work to do on ourselves, and how we restore the inner equilibrium?

Imbalanced Vata

When in balance, the Vata person is lively and energetic. Dry skin and hair, cough, muscle spasm, tremors and ticks are some problems that one may face when Vata is imbalanced. Also, they tend to experience fear, anxiety, isolation, loneliness, and exhaustion, which can lead to both physical and energetic depletion, disrupting proper communication.

For optimal health, according to Ayurveda, a Vata-dominant person should follow a regular daily routine, manage stress through meditation and other activities that involve constant movement (like cycling, running, walking, tai chi, etc.).

High consumption of spicy and astringent foods contributes to Vata imbalance, so a diet with salty, sweet and sour tastes and warm, moist and easily digestible foods (such as broccoli, eggs, rice, wheat, avocado, yoghurt, melon, coconut, nuts, berries, soups and stews) is recommended.

Imbalanced Pitta

An imbalanced Pitta shows jealousy, criticism, anger and agitation, and may even cause inflammatory disorders such as ulcers and bowel disease.

Those with a Pitta-dominant people should focus on work-life balance and avoid extreme heat (e.g., weather, spicy food). Pitta balance can be restored with sweet, bitter and astringent tastes and heavy, cool foods (like sweet fruits, dairy products, oats and mint). Avoid sour fruits, red meat, potatoes, tomatoes, and eggplant.

Team sports are an excellent way to stay active while satisfying Pitta’s natural competitiveness. Also meditation, massages and inhaling cooling scents such as rose, mint and lavender can help relax the body.

Imbalanced Kapha

When out of balance, physically and mentally Kapha tends to invte stagnation and congestion in organs and in the mind. It triggers emotions of attachment, greed, and possessiveness and can also create stubbornness, lethargy, and resistance to change.

For good health, a Kapha-dominant person should focus on gentle exercises (better with a workout buddy!), an extra intake of fluids and keep a warm body temperature to maintain the energy flowing.

One of the major reasons for Kapha imbalance is excessive food consumption, and therefore a light, low-fat diet of bitter, pungent, and astringent tastes (such as strong spices, raw vegetables, ripe fruits, oats, rye, barley) is recommended.

Discover the properties of Jasmine

The name “Jasmine” originates from the Persian word “Yasmin“, meaning “gift from God“, with its flower considered highly sacred in India and the Himalayas. In these regions women use it to scent their hair and on the day before a wedding, the bride to be wears a garland of jasmine and roses around her neck, as sensual symbol of her purity and passion. Infact in the symbolism of flowers Jasmine represents purity, simplicity, modesty and strength.

There are around 200 native species of this flower that can be found in Eurasia and Oceania, and only one species native to Europe. Botanists believe that jasmine originated in Persia from where it crossed the Red Sea and made it’s way to Turkey and Greece. It’s believed that this may have happened as early as 1000 BC.

Jasmine is incredibly expensive due to how difficult it is to extract oils from. It must be picked with extreme care only at night to prevent the sun from dissipating the scent of the flowers and if it is damaged, this may lessen the oil yield. Just to give you an idea: it takes around 7.6 million flowers to produce 1kg of jasmine essential oil!

HEALTH BENEFITS

For thousands years Jasmine essential oil has been used in many parts of Asia as a natural remedy for many health and mental conditions. The tea was drunk (and still is nowadays!) not only for its wonderful and delicate taste, but also for the many benefits to overall health and wellbeing it brings.

  • Digestive and gastrointestinal benefits

Jasmine is rich in antioxidants that interact with gastrointestinal enzymes to facilitate better nutrients absorption and promote healthy bowel function. It also promotes the growth of good bacteria in the gut and has been found to eliminate the harmful ones (a recent study found that Jasmine flower extract was effective at inhibiting the growth of Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus cereus). The antispasmodic qualities of jasmine make it helpful to relieve indigestion, stomach cramps and soothe inflammation.

  • Insomnia and stress relief

Jasmine has sedative effects on the nervous system, soothing and relaxing tense nerves, by bringing on feelings of calm, relaxation and stress relief. The sedative compounds found in this herb have been found to promote peaceful sleep, help to induce sleep and regulate irregular sleep patterns.

  • Anxiety and mood improvement

The uplifting scent of jasmine essential oil has been proven to improve mood, de-stress and bring anxiety down to a more manageable level. Another study found that jasmine essential oil, when used in aromatherapy massage, has a stimulating effect could that alleviates depression and anxiety whilst uplifting the mood.

  • Reproductive health

With natural hormone balancing properties, jasmine has been shown to improve symptoms of PMS, menopause, and act as an “emmenagogue” (a substance that stimulates or increases menstrual flow). The emmenagogue property of jasmine oil regulates menstrual cycles and provides relief from painful periods. Women who use Jasmine essential oil post-natally have experienced faster recovery times and a shorter post-natal period, as well as being less prone to post-natal depression.

SIDE EFFECTS

Although jasmine is a likely safe flower to intake, always follow your doctor’s advice or consult a homeopatic herbalist pratictioner before starting to take it for health purposes. In terms of side effects, if present in some parfumes or body creams it might give you an allergic reaction (most likely skin related). You should also avoid jasmin when pregnant, as it can stimulate contractions.

The Archer – Book review

“Each arrow flies differently. You can shoot a thousand arrows and each one will follow a different trajectory: that is the way of the bow. […] Each arrow leaves a memory in your heart, and it is the sum of those memories that will make you shoot better and better.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Way Of The Bow, The Archer

Published in the autumn of 2020, this book is a short (about 160 pages), allegorical and philosophical story. Full-page illustrations by Christoph Niemann cut the number of actual text pages, making the reading even more quick and simple. Coelho’s writing style is easy, not elaborate, but yet warm and cosy, as usual.

In The Archer‘s prologue we meet Tetsuya, a man once famous for his prodigious gift with a bow and arrow but who has since retired from public life, and the boy who comes searching for him. The boy has many questions, and in answering them Tetsuya’s teachings are divided in different parts: allies, the bow, the arrow, how to hold the bow, how to draw the bowstring, the moment of release, and repetition.

In the epilogue, Tetsuya finally shares how he learned to master the art of archery and he relays why he has kept his skill a secret, before blessing the boy and sending him off with a new found wisdom.

Although sometimes these lessons remind of step-by-step instructions, Coelho uses metaphors and similies for giving the reader life lessons and long-lasting advice. Such simplicity in storytelling disguises a more complex message. This is a clear example of provoking a deep, strong reflection long after you have closed the book: “Just as the arrow seeks the target, so the target also seeks the arrow, because it is the arrow that gives meaning to its existence.”

In this book Coelho also provides the framework for a rewarding life: hard work, passion, purpose, thoughtfulness, the willingness to fail, and the urge to make a difference. The story suggests that living without a connection between action and soul cannot fulfill, that a life constricted by fear of rejection or failure is not a life worth living. Instead one must take risks, build courage, and embrace the unexpected journey fate has to offer.

With that said, I enjoyed reading The Archer. I think that Coelho’s fans will enjoy the story as with previous works. Afterall, The Alchemist followed a similar style of providing life advice through a fictional story, but you may also need to be in the right mood for The Archer. You need to be ready to embrace life lessons and willing of improvement and moving on.

One lesson in the allies section reads: “Join with those who do their work with enthusiasm, and because you could be useful to them as they are to you, try to understand their tools too and how their skills could be improved. The time has come, therefore, to meet your bow, your arrow, your target, and your way.”

Which is the best massage for you?

Before becoming a massage therapist I knew very little about massage techniques and which one would be best for my body. Sometimes it’s not just about your preferences, but also what you need and your physical condition right now. I believe many people have the same problem when it comes to choose the type of massage. So many techniques, so little time and money!

Generally a massage is a treat and can offer many health benefits: improving your circulation, boosting your immune system, give you relaxation, better sleep quality, stress relief and many more. But there are over 100 different massage types, so which one should you choose? Here my small guide, which includes the most commone ones:

Shiatsu

Shiatsu is a Japanese type of massage which is best for people who want to feel relaxed and relieve stress, general unwellness, anxiety and tension. It works on the energetic meridian lines so all your body will benefit from it. You can be fully cloathed.

Trigger points

Sometimes areas of tightness in the muscle tissues, known as “knots”, can cause pain irradiating in other parts of the body. During this massage, to undone these knots, it’s often used the thumb, knuckle or elbow to apply static pressure, which will eventually relieve the trigger points and reduce the pain.

Trigger point massages are best suited for people who have injuries, chronic pain, or a specific issue or condition. You can wear lightweight clothing for the massage or be fully or partially undressed.

Swedish

This is the go-to massage technique if you never had a massage before. During the massage five stroke methods are used to relieve anywhere from mild to intense muscle pain, and the severity of each stroke reflects the amount of tightness held within the muscle. Swedish massage is very good to alleviate joint pain, lower back pain, osteoarthritis and stress.

Deep tissue

Deep tissue massage uses more pressure than a Swedish massage, and that’s why the pressure is applied by using forearms or elbows. It’s a good option if you have chronic muscle problems, injury, postural problem or imbalance. There might be a certain level of discomfort, but it shouldn’t feel too uncomfortable or painful. Avoid this type of massage if you’re overly sensitive to pressure.

Thai

A Thai massage generally follows specific body lines, called “sen,” and can last up to two hours. Thai massage is best for people who want a more active form of massage and want to focus on improving their flexibility, circulation and energy levels.

Thai massage works the entire body using movements that are similar to yogic stretching. Infact, the therapist may use not only theirs hands or fingers, but also feet to apply pressure and they might position you in various stretched and twisted positions. You can wear clothes during the massage, it is entirely up to you.

Reflexology

Reflexology utilizes the body’s natural reflexes in the hands and feet through a series of specific thumb, finger, and hand techniques without the use of oil or other balms. Infact it is believed that the pressure applied on certain areas of the soles travels through the nerves, reacing internal organs and muscles, alleviating tension and pain. Reflexology is a good option if you want to work holistically on your whole body/organs and your energy levels. It is also good if you aren’t comfortable being touched on your entire body or being undressed.

Sport massage

Sports massage is designed mostly for pre or post sports workout, and it is best for preventing and treating injury and enhancing athletic performance. So if you are not an athlete, but you are prone to injuries this is the massage fo you. You may also use sports massage to increase flexibility and general physical performance.

Hot stones

The common idea around hot stones massage is that it’s for relaxation purposes, but in reality it is much more than that: these stones do in fact serve a clinical purpose. The shape of the stones and the heat work on the aching areas and allow the therapist to work more effectively. This massage techqnique eases muscle tension, improves blood flow, and relieves pain and stress. Avoid this type of massage if you are too sensitive to heat. 

Tui na and Cupping

Acupressure (which is generally used when practicing Tui Na), is a form of trigger point massage therapy, which was originally developed in ancient China as part of TCM. Acupuncture follows the same principles, but with the use of needles. This form of massage therapy is brilliant for delving into the deep fascial layers and even have an impact of organs and their correct function. During the massage you might experience uncomfortableness, but it should never be unbearable. You can wear your clothes during the therapy.

SCENAR Healing – How I straightened up my back in 40 min

A couple of months ago I started to have a very annoying pain in my right shoulder, as if someone was repetedly stabbing me with a knife right next to it. The pain was sometimes irradiating up to my neck and down to my elbow, and everything I tried to do to improve this pain was just having a temporary effect. I am well aware of my bad posture, which is something I have been trying to fix for a very long time, some periods doing better than others.

But destiny decided to give me a hand and let me meet a wonderful human being, Tom Askew, who has become my neighbour. Being both of us healers, we started talking and I decided to book a session with him and his “magic machine”. Let me tell you, the results were very impressive! In this article I want to share my experience with Tom, and let him talk about Scenar because trust me, it is someting you don’t want to miss.

What is a SCENAR machine?

SCENAR stands for “Self-Controlling Energy Neuro-Adaptive Regulator” and is a small handsized machine. It is a medical technology developed first for the Soviet Space Program for healing astronauts without using common drugs, and it is now known as the world’s most technically advanced pain relief/healing device.

How does it work?

Unlike painkillers, SCENAR doesn’t mask pain, but it works with the brain and central nervous system to redirect the body’s focus onto the painful condition or injury and encourages it to heal itself. It is basically a reminder for our brain to start healing again after it has forgotten how and where to do it!

The SCENAR machine is held against the body and through the skin it emits electromagnetic waves, which travel along the central nervous system to the brain. These pulses are very similar to the body’s nerve signals so the brain recognises them and reacts by producing mediators, hormones and other chemicals, which reduce the sensation of pain.

The SCENAR device can interpret the brain’s response and modifies its next impulse back to the brain to work at restoring balance to the body (called active biofeedback). The brain, in return, sends a modified response and so on, until balance and healing is achieved.

After an injury or onset of disease the communication system between the brain and the affected body part can “break down” or “get used to” the signal from that body part, and that’s why many conditions become chronic and unresponsive to treatment. SCENAR breaks the body out of this habit and restores correct communication resulting in effective and more complete healing.

Why it is different from other devices or techniques?

The SCENAR machine has a real-time feedback and constant adjustment to deliver the right type and amount of energy where is needed. That’s why it is very useful to diagnose as well where the pain is starting from, as it detects in numbers where the electromagnetic waves are imbalanced and should be used.

Who can benefit from scenar?

Everyone, regardless of their age! SCENAR can help people with all sorts of short and long-term musculoskeletal conditions, and injuries. The most common local effects are stimulating the skin, blood vessels and muscles. General effects on the body include influencing nervous, endocrine and immune systems.

A treatment with SCENAR is absolutely non-invasive and therefore, the side effects are minimal. Worst case scenario it does nothing! But pacemaker is the main contraindication for receiving a treatment. 

What does a treatment feel like?

After SCENAR therapy you may feel more relaxed and enjoy better quality sleep. Personally during the treatment I felt some sort of tingling over my skin and a hot sensation coming in waves in my body. After, I felt generally more energised and balanced, kind of more in peace and very very thirsty!

How long before you see any results?

It obviously depends on the nature of your issue and how long you’ve had it for. Some people experience improvement after just one or two treatments, others benefit from having regular treatments for a few weeks or months. I personally improved a lot just after a treatment: my posture was immediately better and straighter, my pain was gone and I felt more energised.

Tom has trained with and worked alongside Russian Doctors since 1999 and he is a very powerful and capable healer, other than being a very nice person! Tom works with the very latest devices, the SCENAR Super Pro and the COSMODIC ENS. After attending a course there are many different type of devices you can purchase and use yourself, according to what you are looking for and how much you want to spend.

If you want to book a treatment, purchase a machine or simply know more about SCENAR, you can contact Tom at his website: www.tomaskew.com

(Some material, information and pictures were taken from www.tomaskew.com, with the kind concession from Tom).

Fight PMS with Natural Remedies

If you are a woman and you are part of the 80% of female population that experience PMS, you know how those days of the month can be particularly annoying. You might face a wide range of symptoms from mild ones like bloating, breast tenderness, changes in appetite, fatigue, moodiness, to pretty intense ones such as vomit, cramps, migraine, heavy bleeding, anxiety and depression. Even though it’s appealing to seek medical treatment, especially if your symptoms are severe, it is worth considering a more natural approach and give it a try.

Change diet

It’s alway a good idea, but particularly during PMS, to try to eat smaller portions and reduce your salt intake to reduce bloating and water retention. Add more fruits and veggie (especially artichokes!) to your diet and eliminate complex carbs, sugar and alchol.

Don’t worry, mood is important as well, so a tiny bit of ice cream or chocolate won’t kill you!

Exercise

Regardless of PMS, doing moderate exercise routinely is a good lifestyle choice, but can become very beneficial before or during your period. Even small exercises like walking, swimming or running release endorphins like dopamine and serotonin (chemical messengers that can boost mood) and have positive benefits on energy and sleep.

Herbs

It’s always important to consult your healthcare provider before you start taking any herbal remedy. But if you have a green light, you should definetely try some of these: chaste tree berry, primrose oil (for cramps and breast tenderness), gingko biloba (for mood swings), dandelion (for bloating).

Yoga

If you manage to leave the chocolate on the side and step from your pijama to the yoga mat, you will find these yoga positions really helpful against bloatness and cramps. Yoga can also improve your mood and sleep quality and overall reduce your stress level.

  • Cobra: opens the heart, which can emotionally struggle, and distends the abdominal organs.
  • Bow pose: increases blood flow and stimulates the regular activity of internal organs.
  • Forward fold: one of the most relaxing poses! It also helps opening the hips.
  • Bridge: calms down a stressed mind and stimulates pelvic and abdominal organs.
  • Seated twist: massages and increases circulation and lubrication of internal organs.

Massage and TCM

Traditional Chinese Medicine views PMS as a variety of different possible imbalances of several organs that are all linked togheter. Various treatments and techniques (like herbs, massage, acupuncture, moxa, etc.) aim to remove energy blockages, rebalance hormonal fluctuations and repristinate optimum balance.

Acupuncture provides relief by stimulatting the body’s natural healing mechanisms and by treating the root cause of the problem, not just the symptoms. For instance, it seems to be able to reduce inflammation and works on the mind, which can help to alleviate the stress and mood swings.

Massage therapy can help relieve the bloat and water retention by increasing the circulation and helping with drainage. This allows the body to regain its natural water balance faster and reduce the puffy, bloating feeling. Allow your therapist to suggest which massage would be better for you: you might just need a bit of feet reflexology to detox and calm you down!

Among all the other things, don’t forget to get plenty of good quality sleep and find some ways to manage your stress level (like meditation, doing something creative, stay in contact with nature, etc.). With these tips you can only improve your PMS and make yourself go through those days of the months a bit more smoothly.

ThetaHealing: un’Intervista a Sara Montanari / ThetaHealing: an Interview with Sara Montanari

Bilingual article, for the English version scroll down!

Articolo bilingue, per la versione Inglese scorrere in basso!

Nell’ultimo periodo sono stata molto fortunata, perchè diversi operatori olistici di luce mi hanno contattata per avere un piccolo spazio sul blog di Abundy. Grazie a loro, Abundy ma soprattutto la mia e la vostra (cari lettori!) conoscenza e connessione si potranno espandere sempre di più! Oggi sono qui con Sara Montanari, che non solo conosco e stimo da anni, ma che è stata anche una mia personale Maestra e ora con immensa gioia posso definire collega. Sara è una fantastica ThetaHealer (clicca per saperne di più), che mette discrezione, gentilezza, amore e tanta tanta passione nel lavoro che fa. Ma lascio a lei il piacere di raccontarvi di più:

  • Ciao Sara, grazie ancora per aver accettato di farti intervistare per Abundy. Ti andrebbe di parlarci un po’ di te e di come ti sei avvicinata al ThetaHealing?

Ciao Laura, grazie mille a te per questa opportunità. Ho conosciuto il ThetaHealing nel 2014, attraverso una mia amica che mi ha presentato una ThetaHealer, inizialmente in realtà per il Reiki degli Angeli, poi ho provato una sessione di Theta di cui mi sono profondamente innamorata…il caso che non è mai un caso!

  • Dunque nel tuo studio olistico “Onde di luce” proponi principalmente come tecnica il ThetaHealing. Ti capita di usare altre tecniche durante la seduta con una persona?

Di solito applico principalmente il ThetaHealing ma in parte finale qualche volta uso il Reiki degli Angeli apponendo le mani nelle zone colpite o contratte, in base ai consigli “dall’alto” diciamo.

  • Vedo che sei molto attiva sui Social Network e Youtube, ad esempio con i tuoi interessanti video. Hanno questi video un filo conduttore comune o un argomento che ti piace particolarmente trattare?

Si, il filo da cui sono partita nei miei video è lo studio profondo dell’inconscio, per poi sfociare nei disagi e nelle malattie che può creare. A tratti procedo anche a spiegare altri argomenti rilevanti che tratto in seduta, ad esempio la paura, il karma o blocchi fisici.

  • Puoi spiegarci meglio cosa è il subconscio e cosa significa lavorare con e su di esso?

Il subconscio è una grande macchina che contiene il 90% delle nostre informazioni e programmi (quelli che nel ThetaHealing possiamo chiamare convinzioni, sia negative che positive), che sovente sfociano in blocchi generatori di disagi e malattie. Possiamo dire che il nostro inconscio è il nostro bambino interiore.

  • Quindi cos’è, o meglio, chi è il bambino interiore?

Il bambino interiore siamo noi stessi nel più profondo delle nostre emozioni, spesso limitanti, che auto creano blocchi e disagi altrettanto profondi sin dalla nascita o addirittura da prima, nell’utero materno, e trattiene tutto ciò che gli è stato insegnato in famiglia, nel nucleo e nel DNA.

  • Quali sono principalmente i motivi che spingono una persona a prenotare una sessione con te?

Di solito chi mi contatta ha notevoli movimenti interiori che generano situazioni difficili che compromettono la loro vita quotidiana, o più semplicemente magari vuole fare un percorso di crescita personale ed evoluzione profonda.

  • Ho visto che fra i tuoi eventi recenti c’e stato un workshop molto interessante: “approfondimento sull’Amor proprio e sull’Anima gemella”. Di cosa si tratta?

Si, il mio workshop del 27 Dicembre prevedeva un’immersione profonda nell’Amore in tutte le sue forme, soprattutto fari puntati sull’amor proprio che arricchisce dentro per creare fuori la strada verso l’ anima gemella compatibile.

  • Parte del tuo lavoro a “Onde di Luce” consiste nell’insegnamento. Quindi è possibile per chiunque imparare e praticare il ThetaHealing?

Certo che si, chiunque può connettersi all’energia creatrice e al Divino. E’ la prima cosa che insegno: siamo tutti scintille di Dio.

  • Raccontaci dei progetti futuri per te e per lo studio “Onde di luce”.

Ultimamente ho strutturato e creato in connessione col Creatore, un seminario propriamente diretto a cambiare consapevolmente il proprio Karma. Si chiama “Allineamento Karmico del maestro consapevole”.

  • Quindi questo corso lo hai ideato tu? Come e in cosa consiste?

Si è tutto partito dallo studio dei capisaldi e di un ottimo lavoro di consapevolezza, toccando l’inconscio, l’ego e il proprio Karma, e attingendo all’aiuto dalla sorgente… il resto sarà una sorpresa! Sappiate che lo calendarizzerò a inizio Febbraio. Tutti possono accedere a questo corso, senza prerequisiti.

  • Ok, grazie mille Sara per il tuo tempo e contributo ad Abundy. Parlaci dei tuoi prossimi eventi e dove possono trovarti i lettori.

Il mio prossimo evento sarà a Reggio Emilia per il seminario DNA Base per poi procedere con il mio nuovo corso “Allineamento Karmico del maestro consapevole”. A seguire e chiudere a Gennaio con l’Abbondanza manifestata dall’alto.

Mi potete trovare sul web su www.ondediluce.it oppure su Facebook in Onde di Luce di Sara Montanari.

Dal 2020 anche in un altro luogo che sarà una sorpresa… spero di essere più chiara quanto prima verso Febbraio. Grazie mille per questa possibilità che mi hai dato per parlare un po’ di me e del mio meraviglioso lavoro, che prima di tutto è una grande passione.


In the last period I have been very lucky, because several holistic light operators have contacted me in order to have a small space on Abundy’s blog. Thanks to them, Abundy and above all my and your (dear readers!) knowledge and connection will be able to increase more and more! Today I am here with Sara Montanari, whom I have not only known and respected for years, but who has also been my teacher and now with immense joy I can call colleague. Sara is a fantastic ThetaHealer (click to learn more), which puts discretion, kindness, love and a lot of passion in the work she does. But I leave her the pleasure to tell you more:

  • Hi Sara, thanks again for agreeing to be interviewed for Abundy. Would you like to tell us a little bit about yourself and how did you approach ThetaHealing?

Hi Laura, thank you very much for this opportunity. I met ThetaHealing in 2014, through a friend of mine who introduced me to a ThetaHealer, initially actually for the Angel Reiki, but then I tried a Theta session that I deeply fell in love with … the case that is never a coincidence!

  • So in your holistic study “Onde di Luce” you mainly use the ThetaHealing technique. Do you happen to use other techniques with your clients?

Usually I mainly apply ThetaHealing but in the final part I sometimes use the Angel Reiki by placing my hands in the affected or contracted areas, based on the advice “from above”, as we say.

  • I see that you are very active on Social Networks and Youtube, for example with your interesting videos. Do these videos have a common thread or a topic that you particularly like to talk about?

Yes, the thread from which I started in my videos is the deep study of the subconscious, to then lead to the inconveniences and diseases it can create. Sometimes I also go on to explain other relevant topics that I deal with in the sessions, for example fear, karma or physical blockages.

  • Can you explain better what the subconscious is and what it means to work with and on it?

The subconscious is a large machine that contains 90% of our information and programs (what in ThetaHealing we can call beliefs, both negative and positive), which often result in blocks that generate inconvenience and disease. We can say that our subconscious is our inner child.

  • So what is, or rather, who is the inner child?

The inner child is ourselves in the deepest of our emotions, often limiting, which self create blocks and discomforts equally deep since birth or even before, in the womb, and retains everything that has been taught to him in the family, in the nucleus and in DNA.

  • What are the main reasons for a person to book a session with you?

Usually those who contact me have significant internal movements that generate difficult situations that compromise their daily life, or more simply, maybe they want to make a path of personal growth and deep evolution.

  • I saw that among your recent events there was a very interesting workshop: “approfondimento sull’Amor proprio e sull’Anima gemella“. What is it about?

Yes, my workshop on December 27th provided a deep immersion in Love in all its forms, especially focused on self-love which enriches inside to create in our lives the road towards a compatible soul mate.

  • Part of your “Onde di Luce” work is teaching. So is it possible for anyone to learn and practice ThetaHealing?

Of course, anyone can connect to the Source and the Divine. It is the first thing I teach: we are all sparks of God.

  • Tell us about the future projects for you and for “Onde di Luce”.

Lately I have structured and created in connection with the Creator a seminar properly directed to consciously change one’s Karma. It is called “Allineamento Karmico del maestro consapevole“.

  • So did you create this course? How does it work?

It all started with the study of the cornerstones and an excellent work of awareness, touching the subconscious, the ego and one’s Karma, and drawing on help from the Source … the rest will be a surprise! Keep in mind that I will schedule it in early February. Everyone can access this course without prerequisites.

  • Ok, thank you so much Sara for your time and contribution to Abundy. Tell us about your upcoming events and where readers can find you.

My next event will be in Reggio Emilia (Italy) for the DNA Base seminar and then proceed with my new course “Allineamento Karmico del maestro consapevole“, following and closing in January with the Abundance manifested from above.

You can find me on the web on www.ondediluce.it or on Facebook in Onde di Luce di Sara Montanari.

From 2020 I will be also in another place that will be a surprise … I hope to be clearer as soon as possible towards February. Thank you so much for this chance you gave me to talk a little about myself and my wonderful job, which is first of all a great passion.

Reiki degli Angeli: un’Intervista a Nathalie Aurouze / Angel Reiki: an Interview with Nathalie Aurouze

Bilingual article, for the English version scroll down!

Articolo bilingue, per la versione Inglese scorrere in basso!

Un paio di mesi fa ho partecipato con lo stand di Abundy Studio a due eventi che si sono tenuti in provincia di Parma, Italia (chi di voi mi segue da un po’ sa di cosa sto parlando!). Ad entrambi gli eventi ho avuto il piacere di conoscere Nathalie Aurouze, che con la sua fantastica energia ha immediatamente catturato la mia attenzione e la mia ammirazione. Non avendo molta familiarità con le tecniche che propone, le ho chiesto subito diverse informazioni e infine di fare un’intervista per il blog di Abundy. La ringrazio dunque di cuore per aver accettato di condividere la sua esperienza, conoscenza e tutta la sua passione con me e con tutti voi!

  • Ciao Nathalie, grazie ancora per aver accettato questa intervista. Ti andrebbe di parlarci un po’ di te e di come sei diventata operatrice olistica?

Buongiorno Laura. Sono felicissima di averti incontrata e grazie per avermi inviata a parlare del Reiki degli Angeli.

Mi chiamo Nathalie Aurouze, sono Operatrice Olistica e mi trovate a Collecchio, vicino a Parma. Fin dalla prima infanzia, ogni sera in un angolo della mia camera vedevo degli angeli, ma non osavo parlarne con nessuno perché ero estremamente timida. Il periodo dell’adolescenza allontanò gli angeli dalla mia vita… e continuai ad avere grandi difficoltà nell’affermarmi e nell’esprimere me stessa come avrei voluto fare.

Da “grande”, cercando risorse per me stessa e volendo aiutare mio figlio a vivere con serenità, mi sono orientata verso il Reiki e, poco dopo, gli angeli sono tornati nella mia vita, più forti di prima, e iniziai ad ascoltarli! Mentre procedevo lungo il mio percorso, notai che la mia autostima aumentava, che provavo sempre meno paura, che le mie relazioni diventavano più armoniose e che riuscivo ad effettuare dei cambiamenti significativi.

La mia ricerca e le mie formazioni professionali mi hanno spinta a condividere con gli altri i miei talenti e le persone hanno iniziato a cercarmi per ricevere aiuto, un aiuto diverso.

  • Qual è il tuo approccio e la tua filosofia generale durante la sessione con un cliente?

Mi piace moltissimo aiutare le donne che hanno il coraggio di voler cambiare ciò che non funziona più nelle loro vite, ritrovare se stesse, gestire il loro benessere nella vita quotidiana e migliorare la loro vita personale, familiare e sociale. Perché meritano veramente di seguire il loro cuore e di ritrovare il sorriso!

  • Quali tecniche proponi nel tuo studio “Anthea”?

Utilizzo delle tecniche olistiche che agiscono a livello energetico, angelico, quantistico e/o spirituale:

– il Reiki Usui ed anche altre tradizioni come il Karmic Reiki, il Money Reiki, il Reiki degli Angeli di cui parleremo più avanti;

– la pulizia dell’aura, per riuscire a togliere tutto ciò che ci impedisce a livello energetico di andare avanti con serenità;

– l‘Aura-Soma e la penna di Luce, una cromoterapia molto interessante che comprende anche cristalloterapia e aromaterapia, grazie ai componenti naturale delle bottiglie.

Ma anche le canalizzazioni con gli Angeli, letture dei Tarocchi degli Angeli, letture dei Registri Akashici e sedute con i Codici di Luce Merkaba, le quali agiscono sui diversi livelli dell’essere, sempre per il suo massimo bene.

La persona può scegliere delle sedute individuali (singole o in percorso) e/o dei corsi, per comprendersi, capire i propri doni e talenti per poi utilizzarli per ritrovare se stessa e vivere meglio in ogni settore della sua vita.

  • Parliamo del Reiki degli Angeli. In cosa è diverso dall’Usui Reiki?

Il Reiki Usui che conosciamo oggi nacque in Giappone quasi 100 anni fa ed è oggi la tecnica energetica più conosciuta al mondo.

Il Reiki degli Angeli è una tradizione meno conosciuta, in sintonia con gli Angeli, i cui simboli derivano dalla Natura. Lavora sulla preparazione dell’anima all’inizio del percorso della consapevolezza interiore, agisce su corpo-cuore-anima e dona pace e serenità alla persona. Questa tradizione è suddivisa in 6 livelli (Master compreso).

  • Come è nata per la prima volta questa tecnica?

Il Reiki degli Angeli è nato diversi anni fa, durante un convegno di Master Reiki, durante il quale un uomo definì i livelli e spiegò i simboli di questa tradizione. Purtroppo, alla fine del convegno i partecipanti non riuscirono più a ritrovarlo malgrado intense ricerche. Era sparito e iniziarono a pensare che fosse un angelo venuto per portare loro questo insegnamento.

Durante il mio percorso di crescita, notai che tutte tecniche che studiavo mi portavano agli angeli e il Reiki Usui mi portò al Reiki degli Angeli. Come si dice, “quando l’allievo è pronto, appare il maestro!”.

  • Molti di noi non hanno mai avuto esperienze dirette con gli Angeli. Come li/le (Angeli ed esperienze) descriveresti a queste persone?

Gli Angeli sono energie che emanano dal Divino (puoi chiamarlo come preferisci: Dio, Allah, Creatore, Sorgente… il Divino esiste indipendentemente dalle religioni). Un’esperienza angelica è facile da riconoscere perché ti porta sempre calma, serenità e una profonda sensazione di amore. La difficoltà si trova in noi! Prima di tutto, dobbiamo chiedere, perché gli Angeli rispettano il nostro libero arbitrio e non intervengono se noi non chiediamo aiuto.

In secondo luogo, dobbiamo imparare a ricevere i loro messaggi: ascoltarli, sentirli, percepirli, vederli… Purtroppo passiamo spesso accanto ai consigli angelici senza renderci conto di avere già ricevuto la risposta alla nostra domanda, ed è solo perché siamo troppo concentrati su di noi. Con il Reiki degli Angeli, possiamo imparare ad innalzare la nostra frequenza per percepire gli angeli. Uno dei livelli è dedicato alla canalizzazione ed è meraviglioso vedere le persone capire che possono facilmente ricevere risposte angeliche.

  • Spiegaci cosa ci si può aspettare da una seduta di Reiki degli Angeli.

Il trattamento con il Reiki degli Angeli è dolce, rispettoso della tua persona e della tua anima. La sua energia offre il rilassamento della mente e del cuore, in modo da sentirti più calmo, centrato e rigenerato, prima di tornare alla tua vita con maggiore energia e positività.

Tutti possono riceverlo, anche i bambini piccoli o le persone anziane che sono più fragili, e questo grazie alla sua energia delicata, angelica.

  • Quali sono le motivazioni che portano una persona a chiederti una seduta di Reiki degli Angeli? E quali sono i benefici?

Quando una persona si sente attratta dagli Angeli, mi chiede il Reiki degli Angeli. E’ una semplice questione di affinità.

I benefici sono numerosi:

– capire meglio le proprie emozioni e lasciar andare rabbia, frustrazione o sensi di colpa

– calmare la mente e riuscire a dormire meglio

– iniziare un percorso di consapevolezza

– imparare a canalizzare gli angeli per ricevere direttamente i loro consigli

Questa è la testimonianza che una persona mi ha inviato qualche tempo dopo aver seguito il 1° livello: “Ciao Nathalie. Volevo dirti che grazie al Reiki riesco a camminare su e giù per le montagne; non ci pensavo ma poi, mentre andavo su per una salita e non ce la facevo più, ho visualizzato i simboli… non pensavo alla fatica, anzi, mi sentivo più forte del solito. Volevo condividere con te questa cosa e ringraziarti per avermi fatto conoscere questa energia”.

  • Serve un talento speciale o è possibile per chiunque imparare il Reiki degli Angeli? Se sì, come?

Tutti possono imparare ad utilizzare il Reiki degli Angeli!

E’ un meraviglioso percorso di consapevolezza composto da diversi livelli grazie ai quali si impara a: ripristinare l’equilibrio energetico in tutti i corpi sottili della persona; aiutare gli altri, anche a distanza; portare armonia a situazioni problematiche (nostre o altrui); programmare oggetti e ambienti; ripulire l’aura e i Chakra delle persone, gli oggetti o gli ambienti dalla presenza di energie pesanti; contattare direttamente gli angeli per noi e gli altri.

Alla fine del percorso si può diventare Master Reiki degli Angeli ed insegnare ad altri il Reiki degli Angeli.

  • E’ possibile praticare Reiki degli Angeli su se stessi?

Certamente! Con il 1° livello, si impara ad effettuare l’auto-trattamento e, con il 2° livello, anche se sembra incredibile a persone che poco conoscono il Reiki, si impara a auto-trattasi a distanza! E non solo, possiamo trattare le nostre situazioni o relazioni difficili e ottenere ottime soluzioni.

  • Quali sono gli obiettivi per te e lo studio Anthea per il prossimo futuro?

Il mio desiderio principale è di comunicare alle donne che possono migliorare la loro vita, in modo diverso. Vorrei che imparassero a sentirsi libere e indipendenti dai condizionamenti che hanno ricevuto – come me – dalla famiglia, educazione, scuola, pubblicità… Sono persone fantastiche e cercano soluzioni nel settore olistico quando tutto il resto non ha funzionato.

Aggiungo che non lavoro a livello medico e che il proprio medico deve sempre essere consultato quando è necessario, ma le tecniche olistiche possono affiancare le cure tradizionali con grandi benefici. Inoltre, il Reiki è sempre più presente negli ospedali di tutto il mondo.

Per questo ho scelto di aprire uno studio in cui diverse tecniche lavorano insieme, dove si può chiedere e ricevere aiuto, conoscere ed armonizzare emozioni e pensieri, avere il tempo necessario e uno spazio accogliente per “ritrovarsi”, ricevere suggerimenti e soluzioni per il proprio benessere… perché si può imparare, crescere e conoscersi su tutti i livelli dell’essere.

Il mio studio non è un luogo di cura, ma di armonia e di energia positiva, dove essere ascoltata e compresa.

  • Quale Angelo ci accompagna nelle energie di questa settimana?

Questa settimana, sto lavorando con l’arcangelo Ariel, il cui nome significa “Leone (o Leonessa) di Dio”. E’ strettamente collegato con la natura, le fate e gli elementi e l’altro ieri fotografando i colori del mio giardino, mi sono resa conto che mi era sempre vicino. Ariel ci aiuta a sentire un senso di interconnessione con la natura, con tutte le forze e le energie di Gaia, nostra Madre Terra, e con tutti gli esseri sia di questo mondo che di altri mondi.

Tutti possono invocarlo e sentire la sua presenza durante una passeggiata in un parco cittadino, in un bosco o al mare. Provate!

  • Grazie mille Nathalie per le preziose informazioni, parlaci dei tuoi prossimi eventi e dove possono trovarti i lettori.

Grazie a te Laura. E’ stato un onore essere intervistata da te e spiegare il mio lavoro ai lettori.

Siete sempre i benvenuti ed è possibile trovarmi tramite il mio sito-blog sul quale pubblico articoli relativi al Reiki e agli Angeli, ma non solo:

https://www.antheatecnicheholistiche.it/

o la mia pagina Facebook https://www.facebook.com/TecnicheHolistiche/

Le attività programmate sono sempre indicate in agenda sulla Home Page del sito. Sto preparando il programma per l’inizio del prossimo anno con nuovi corsi di Reiki degli Angeli, Reiki Usui, Karmic Reiki, Money Reiki, giornate e laboratori esperienziali con l’Aura-Soma, il mio corso per “Imparare a conoscere e contattare gli Angeli”, il corso sui “Tarocchi degli Angeli”, delle serate di scambio di trattamenti di reiki e altre di meditazione con gli Angeli… Sto anche organizzando laboratori in collaborazione con altre terapeute, dove il Reiki, l’Aura-Soma e gli Angeli incontreranno altre tecniche olistiche.

Insomma, le idee ci sono e si stanno sviluppando, sempre con il filo conduttore che tende a rendere le persone indipendenti e libere nelle loro scelte, riconoscere i loro doni e talenti… avere l’opportunità di riscoprirsi durante le sedute o i corsi nel mio studio.

A couple of months ago I participated with the Abundy Studio stand in two events that were held in the province of Parma, Italy (those of you who have been following me for a while know what I’m talking about!). At both events I had the pleasure of meeting Nathalie Aurouze, who with her fantastic energy immediately caught my attention and my admiration. Not being very familiar with the techniques she proposed, I immediately asked her for various information and finally to do an interview for Abundy’s blog. Thank you so very much for having accepted to share your experience, knowledge and all your passion with me and with all of you!

  • Hi Nathalie, thanks again for accepting this interview. Would you like to talk a little about yourself and how you became a holistic operator?

Good morning Laura. I am so happy to have met you and thank you for asking me to talk about the Angel Reiki.

My name is Nathalie Aurouze, I am a light worker and I live in Collecchio, near Parma. From early childhood, every night in a corner of my room I saw angels, but I didn’t dare talk about them with anyone because I was extremely shy. The adolescent period took the angels away from my life… and I continued to have great difficulties in affirming and expressing myself as I would have liked to do.

Growing up, looking for resources for myself and wanting to help my son to live with serenity, I discovered Reiki and, shortly after, the angels came back into my life, stronger than before, and I started listening to them! As I proceeded along my path, I noticed that my self-esteem increased, that I felt less and less afraid, that my relationships became more harmonious and that I could make significant changes.

My research and my professional training led me to share my talents with others and people started looking for me to get help, a different help.

  • What is your approach and your general philosophy during a client session?

I really like helping women who have the courage and the will to change what no longer works in their lives, find themselves, manage their well-being in everyday life and improve their personal, family and social life. Because they really deserve to follow their heart and smile again!

  • What techniques do you propose in your studio “Anthea”?

I use holistic techniques that act on an energetic, angelic, quantum and / or spiritual level:

– Usui Reiki and also other traditions such as Karmic Reiki, Money Reiki, the Angel Reiki of which we will talk later;

– Aura cleansing, to be able to remove everything that prevents us from going ahead on an energetic level;

– the Aura-Soma and the Light beamer pen, a very interesting chromotherapy that also includes crystal therapy and aromatherapy, thanks to the natural components of the bottles.

But also Angel Channeling, readings of the Tarot of the Angels, readings of the Akashic Records and sessions with the Merkaba Light Codes, which act on the different levels of our being, always for its highest good.

A person can choose to have individual sessions (single or groups) and/or follow some courses, to better understand themselves, understand their gifts and talents and then use them to ridiscover themselves and live in a better way in every area of their life.

  • Let’s talk about the Angel Reiki. What is different from Usui Reiki?

The Usui Reiki that we know today was born in Japan almost 100 years ago and is today the most known energy technique in the world.

The Angel Reiki is a less known tradition, in harmony with the Angels, whose symbols derive from Nature. It works on the preparation of the soul at the beginning of the path of inner awareness, acts on body-heart-soul and gives peace and serenity to the person. This tradition is divided into 6 levels (including the Master level).

  • How was this technique channeled for the first time?

The Angel Reiki was born several years ago, during a convention of Reiki Masters, during which a man defined the levels and explained the symbols of this tradition. Unfortunately, at the end of the conference the participants could not find him again despite an intense search. He had disappeared and they began to think that he was an angel who had come to bring them this teaching.

During my growth path, I noticed that all the techniques I studied brought me to the Angels and the Reiki Usui brought me to the Angel Reiki. As they say, “when the pupil is ready, the master appears!“.

  • Many of us have never had direct experiences with the Angels. How would you describe them?

Angels are energies that emanate from the Divine (you can call it whatever you like: God, Allah, Creator, Source… the Divine exists independently of religions). An angelic experience is easy to recognize because it always brings you calm, serenity and a deep feeling of love. The difficulty lies in us! First of all we must ask, because the Angels respect our free will and do not intervene if we do not ask for help.

Secondly, we must learn to receive their messages: listen to them, hear them, perceive them, see them… Unfortunately we often pass by the angelic advice without realizing that we have already received the answer to our question, and it is only because we are too focused on ourselves. With the Angel Reiki we can learn to raise our frequency to perceive angels. One of the levels is dedicated to channeling and it is wonderful to see people understand that they can easily receive angelic answers.

  • Tell us what you can expect from a session of Angel Reiki.

The treatment with Angel Reiki is sweet, respectful of your person and your soul. Its energy offers relaxation of mind and heart, in order to feel more calm, centered and regenerated, before returning to your life with greater energy and positivity.

Everyone can receive it, even small children or elderly people who are more fragile, and this thanks to his delicate, angelic energy.

  • What are the reasons that lead a person to ask you for a session of Reiki of the Angels? And what are the benefits?

When a person feels attracted to the Angels, she/he asks me for the Angel Reiki. It is a simple matter of affinity.

The benefits are numerous:

– better understanding of emotions and let go of anger, frustration or guilt

– calming the mind and being able to sleep better

– start a path of awareness

– learn to channel angels to receive their advice directly

This is the testimony that someone sent me some time after attending level 1: “Hi Nathalie. I wanted to tell you that thanks to Reiki I can walk up and down the mountains. I didn’t think about it but then, but while I was going up a hill and couldn’t take it anymore, I visualized the symbols… I didn’t think about fatigue and, on the contrary, I felt stronger than usual. I wanted to share this with you and thank you for letting me know about this energy“.

  • Do you need a special talent or is it possible for anyone to learn Angels Reiki? If so, how?

Everyone can learn to use Angels Reiki! It is a wonderful path of awareness composed of different levels through which you learn to: restore energy balance in all the subtle bodies of the person; helping others, even from distance; bring harmony to problematic situations (ours or other’s); program objects and environments; cleanse the aura and chakras of people, objects or environments from the presence of heavy energies; contact the angels directly for us and others. At the end of the path you can become Angel Reiki Master and teach others.

  • Is it possible to practice Angel Reiki on oneself?

Of course! With 1st level, you learn to perform self-treatment and, with 2nd level, even if it seems incredible to people who know little about Reiki, you learn how to deal with yourself remotly! And not only that, we can treat our difficult situations or relationships and get excellent solutions.

  • What are the goals for you and the Anthea studio for the near future?

My main desire is to communicate to women that they can improve their lives differently. I would like them to learn to feel free and independent of the conditioning they have received (like me) from their family, education, school, advertising… They are fantastic people and are looking for solutions in the holistic sector when everything else has not worked yet.

I would like to add that I do not work on a medical level and that a doctor must always be consulted when it is necessary, but holistic techniques can complement traditional treatments with great benefits. Moreover, Reiki is increasingly present in hospitals around the world.

This is why I chose to open a hoslitic practice where different techniques work together, where you can ask and receive help, learn about and harmonize emotions and thoughts, have the necessary time and a welcoming space to “find yourself”, receive suggestions and solutions for your own well-being… because you can learn, grow and know yourself on all levels of your being.

My professional practice is not a place of care, but of harmony and positive energy, where one can be listened to and be understood.

  • Which Angel accompanies us in this week’s energy?

This week, I’m working with the archangel Ariel, whose name means “Lion (or Lioness) of God”. It is closely connected with nature, fairies and elements and the day before yesterday, photographing the colors of my garden, I realized that it was always close to me. Ariel helps us to feel a sense of interconnection with nature, with all the forces and energies of Gaia, our Mother Earth, and with all beings both of this world and of other worlds.

Everyone can invoke it and feel its presence during a walk in a city park, in a forest or by the sea. Try!

  • Thank you very much Nathalie for the valuable information, tell us about your upcoming events and where readers can find you.

Thank you Laura. It was an honor to be interviewed by you and explain my work to readers.

You are always welcome and you can find me via my blog site where I publish articles related to Angel Reiki and other techniques:

https://www.antheatecnicheholistiche.it/

or my Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/TecnicheHolistiche/

The scheduled activities are always listed on the website’s Home Page.
I am preparing the program for the beginning of next year with new courses of Angel Reiki, Reiki Usui, Karmic Reiki, Money Reiki, days and experiential workshops with the Aura-Soma, my course for “Learning to know and contact the Angels”, the course on the “Tarot of the Angels”, evenings during which we can exchange Reiki treatments and other during which we can do meditation with the Angels.

I am also organizing workshops in collaboration with other therapists, where Reiki, Aura-Soma and the Angels will meet with other holistic techniques.

In short, there are ideas and they are developing, always with the common thread that tends to make people independent and free in their choices, to recognize their gifts and talents… to have the opportunity to rediscover themselves during sessions or courses in my holistic practice.

Testimonials on Past Life Regression

I have recently had several requests from people asking me for a session of past life regression, or simply looking for more information about it, especially considering the method I use and what to expect during the actual practice. For all that concerns the regression in general, you can visit this other article on my blog, where I explain in a detailed way (but not at all boring, promised!) everything about this wonderful technique.

But today I would like to tell you more about my personal experience, and that of some people who came to me to try regression. People with a story, a past, a present, different demands and objectives, but all united by the will-power to improve themselves and to dissolve those karmic chains that bind us in a negative way to the past of our soul.

Consent has been obtained and the names have been changed with respect to privacy.

From rags… to riches

Anyone approaching regression for the first time, obviously daydreams about the possible people, perhaps famous, rich and important, that could have been. But soon we realize that the reality is quite different. Usually “perfect” lives in which everything is beautiful, harmonious and flowing happily without problems are excellent for making “downloads” of talents or emotions that we want to bring back here and now. But they are also quite rare. The lives in which we have suffered, fought, and have really learned something essential are those that are difficult and harsh, and they are those that we must certainly resolve.

I remember one of the first sessions I did and, as a jumper, I could see 3/4 lives in less than an hour. How glad I was to have discovered that I was a Roman senator! Or a scientist during the Enlightenment! Or a Middle Eastern princess! Don’t get me wrong, they were all lives that I had to resolve, also because they were full of important moments, talents to download and experiences to internalize. Not all that shines is gold.

I then wondered if it was all true what I had seen, or if I had simply made it up in my mind. I did some research, discovering that the Roman senators really did speak ancient Greek during official meetings, and that those strange drawings I had seen were Torricelli’s projects. I was deeply moved. I wanted to try again to regress to other lives, this time with a totally different goal. I wanted to work on abundance and was initially taken to a time when I was a rich merchant. Of course, I thought, how many talents this man must have had to create his fortune! Then, I experienced only lives of great poverty, of hard work and hardship, but all in all happy in their simplicity and indigence.

I was a senator, a princess, a scientist and a rich merchant. Yes, but I have also been a nun with votes of chastity and poverty, a peasant woman deprived of her family and her land, a fisherman who has known true labor and what it means to have a broken heart. I have been many things, but first of all a human being who has lived, even literally, from the rags to riches. And it was illuminating and beautiful.

Client: “Are we sure that I didn’t just imagine everything?”

Me: “If you imagined everything, why didn’t you choose to see something beautiful, instead of these traumatic events?”

Customer: “Good question …”

Fly like a bird

I have noticed over time and after having made many people regress, that obviously not only the experiences change, but also the “way” of experiencing and seeing them. I’ll explain. When entering the regression, it is like jumping into a scenario. Most of the time people see themselves inside another body, so looking down they just see their feet and clothes of that time and around them a landscape with a point of view at eye level.

However a couple of people proved different in this respect, and as soon as they entered the life they wanted to see, they saw themselves from above. As if they were birds flying over the country and the people below them. But it was clear to them who they were among the crowd, and they followed their person wherever he/she moved. For these people it may be more difficult to “go through themselves” to capture an emotion, but besides this I haven’t noticed any other differences. I still can’t explain why some customers have this point of view compared to others.

Client: “I see myself, but like … from above. I mean, I know that I am that monk who is walking down the street, I recognize myself, but I see my head and everything else. I feel like I’m flying like a bird!”

The eyes are the mirror of the soul

Many people ask me to work on the relationship with their loved ones in this life, and to do so we must resolve the lives in which those souls have known each other. You will wonder how do you recognise people during the regression. In ancient times the Romans said “the eyes are the mirror of the soul” and they were right.

When you want to recognise some poeple of this reincarnation during the regression, look at that person in the eyes. You will feel a very strong feeling of knowing who they are, of having already seen them and of knowing them deeply. The name will come to your mind immediately. It happened to me and to many others.

However, a strange thing happened to a client of mine, and in my opinion it was fantastic. She recognised her daughter during the regression because she saw two faces overlapping, as if one overlapped like a ghost over the other. At that point she was 100% sure that this was her daughter. This client of mine is very physiognomist, she does not remember the names well but faces very well and in fact she could also see the details of the faces during the regression, something that is more difficult for me personally. I think this helps to make the vision more detailed and particular.

Customer: “I see her, who she is … Clarissa! She is my daughter but she is also that woman! It’s so strange, the two faces overlap like two spirits in one”

Feel on your skin

Regression can also help improve a physical state of illness or just achieve perfect health. A client of mine improved the frequent headaches from which he suffered, discovering that in the past he had to wear a heavy mask as a chief priest of a temple. Even the weight of being a leader (ie boss, head) was too much for him. During the session he felt a strong sense of heaviness in the head, which then faded away and in time reduced even the frequency of his migraines.

Many other customers had physical sensations during the regression, but never intense or unbearable pain. Someone while he was running in the past life had shortness of breath. One person felt his arm tingle and a heavy weight in his chest when he was about to die of a heart attack. Another, who died by hanging, a sense of tightness around his neck. Of course this can be all our mental influence, but nevertheless I find it very interesting.

Client: “Can we leave this moment please? I don’t feel my arm anymore and I have a weight on my chest … I feel weak”

Me: “I’ll take you away immediately, don’t worry, you’re safe”

A look to the past and one to the future

Few know that the crystal layout technique also allows you to go and work on your future in this incarnation. This allows the person to eliminate the blocks that hinder him/her now, and to create the life that he/she wants. I should remind you that we can all change our future, and that if we work on our fears, traumas and blocks we can achieve our goals.

Customer: “It’s beautiful, it’s a fantastic house! And I like the job I will do, I want it. But I don’t want to be alone … let’s change this, I want a family and a companion. I can have both… I want everything”

UPDATE

Dear Abundy's supporters and friends, It is with sadness that I have to announce the temporarily closure of Abundy Studio due to unexpected circumstances. During this time you can stay tuned and read the Abundy blog, but all the treatments will be suspended until further notice. Hopefully we won't stay close for long! Thank you for your understanding and support. With Love and Gratitude.
