My first cold water swim experience here at Lac de Temple, Brienne-le-Château, France.

Wow! The natural high I felt afterwards was exhilarating. With the water temperature barely above zero. It was a true test of mental strength and endurance.

Acclimatise gradually with short exposure sessions to help your body prepare, and build resistance.

Well-being benefits include:

• Enhanced physical health; by reducing inflammation and joint pain.

• Increased energy levels.

• Boosts mental health.

• Builds mental resilience.

Our emotions are intrinsically linked to our bodies. When we experience anger or sadness, certain parts of our body physically change.

The same also applies when we experience feelings of joy, happiness and love.

Emotional body mapping helps us to understand where our emotions manifest physically, and how they are felt within the body.

Increased sensations are shown with warmth, and decreased sensations are shown as cool.

Negative emotions often become trapped in the body, causing a block in the flow of energy this is often felt when carrying out energy-based therapies such as reiki, and EFT (energy psychology).

The limbic system your emotional nervous system, a set of brain structures that help to regulate behavioural and emotional responses.

During a EFT session the limbic system is directly accessed. The acupressure tapping helps to calm emotional responses, and essentially rewires the limbic system into a calmer, more relaxed state.

Combining EFT and Sound Therapy creates a powerful and therapeutic approach to reducing stress and anxiety. The synergy of these therapeutic practices can produce some profound changes.

EFT is a mind-body approach that involves acupressure tapping therapy scientifically proven to reduce stress and anxiety, promoting improved emotional and mental well-being.

Sound Therapy uses sound waves and vibrational frequencies to stimulate brain waves, calming the nervous system promoting relaxation, focus and emotional healing.

This powerful duo can prove particularly beneficial for individuals who are often stressed, anxious, overwhelmed or struggle to quieten the mind.

The Fairways Care Home’s
Resonance.

Where emerald fairways meet the horizon’s soft gleam. The residents gather, caught in a peaceful dream.

No golf clubs are swinging, no putters in sight. Just the promise of sound, and a gentle, pure light.

In hushed, sunlit rooms, a deep humming takes hold as mallets touch gongs, stories ancient unfold.

Vibrations like whispers, so tender and deep, while worries and aches gently fall fast asleep.

The folk of The Fairways, from each comforting chair are wrapped in soft blankets, dispelling all care.

Their spirits set free, as the frequencies rise. Reflected in quiet, contemplative eyes.

A wave through the body, a tremor so slight, of crystal and metal, bathing the light.

Each note a caress, a soft, soothing hum. Transforming the moment, as peace has now come. From low, rumbling bass to a high, silver chime, each sound a warm hug, transcending all time.

The echoes of years, now forgotten and gone. Replaced by the rhythm, from dusk until dawn.

For here at The Fairway’s where comfort resides, a deeper connection, beautifully glides.

Not just the warm hearth, but the soul’s inner grace, finds harmony here, in this tranquil, soft place.

Reiki is described as “energy healing” this ancient therapeutic practice has been around for centuries, facilitating the body’s natural healing process and restoring balance by harmonising the energy flow within the body.

It is a deeply relaxing and restorative experience. Clients often described it as a wonderful warm glow that flows through and around you.

Engaging in regular Reiki therapy can help to enhance our overall wellbeing.

I often incorporate other therapeutic tools. The synergy of Reiki and the use of therapeutic tools such as; tuning forks, crystals, geometric symbols and Tibetan bowls, help to facilitate a stronger energetic connection on a much deeper level.
