How To Stop Time
WWith this going on, it seems impossible to take some time for oneself for a treat like an hour massage or other healing therapy such as Reflexology, Shiatsu or Hypnotherapy. However, if you consider the idea of stopping the spinning time machine and blocking one hour out of the day for yourself, you will in effect be stopping the clock from consuming your day with work, errands, chores, more work, and finally, exhaustion. A little bit of holistic healing therapy goes a long way when it comes to fighting the potential physical and emotional effects of these chilly temperatures and shortened sunlight hours. That’s my spin on it, anyway, and I’m sticking to it.
An exceptional place to take that break is at the Specialty Clinics at Southwest Institute of Healing Arts. Here you can enjoy extreme discount prices from students who are completing their coursework in holistic healthcare practices. The session prices range from complimentary to $15 per session. In addition, there is now a ‘Specialty Clinic Frequent User Card’ which is essentially a punch card-style discount plan, most of which give you a free session after a certain number of purchases. The sessions are supervised by an instructor and generally take place in a classroom at SWIHA’s serene college community.
Some examples of SWIHA’s Specialty Clinics:
Asian Therapy Clinic
Students practice interview, assessment and application skills using their individual Asian art modalities; including Shiatsu, Jin Shin Jyutsu® Physio-Philosophy Seminar, or Tui Na Bodywork for the purpose of client feedback and results. The treatments are done fully clothed under the supervision of an instructor.
Hypnotherapy Clinic
The Hypnotherapy Clinic is a capstone to preparing students for the practice of Hypnotherapy. Students hypnotize clients to assist them with relaxation, stress and anxiety reduction, easing fears and phobias, and for addiction abatement including smoking cessation and weight management. Some students are trained to do basic past life regression sessions. The sessions are done under the supervision of an instructor.
Reflexology Clinic
Reflexology is a hands-on modality based on the principle that reflex areas exist in the feet, hands and ears. When these areas are stimulated, they improve relaxation and healing of the glands, organs, nervous and digestive systems and other body areas. The treatments are done fully clothed under the supervision of an instructor.
Reiki Clinic
Reiki is an energy therapy system of holistic healing where spiritually directed life force energy is directed to various parts of a client’s body for the purpose of deep relaxation, relief of physical and emotional concerns and spiritual clarity. Reiki balances energy on a spiritual, mental, emotional & physical plane. It helps resolve problems, achieve goals & connect higher consciousness & spiritual purpose. The treatments are done fully clothed under the supervision of an instructor.
Polarity/Cranial
A full holistic care system combining hands-on contact, toning, breathing and gentle techniques which encourage the body in emotional and mental releases through facilitated dialogue.
