Another great post from Anna about cranioscaral therapy

Your body and mind may be asking for a different kind of support 🤍

5 hidden reasons why your pain doesn’t go away

Have you noticed that pain can disappear for a while… and then come back again?

Very often, the reason is not where we usually look.

Here are 5 hidden causes of chronic pain I see again and again in my practice:

1️⃣ Chronic stress
When stress becomes constant, the body stays in fight-or-flight mode.
Muscles (especially neck, shoulders and back) remain tight all the time.

2️⃣ Overactive nervous system
If your nervous system never truly relaxes, the body cannot fully recover — even with massage or exercise.

3️⃣ Elevated cortisol & adrenaline
Long-term stress keeps stress hormones high.
This increases inflammation, pain sensitivity and exhaustion.

4️⃣ Old physical or emotional trauma
Accidents, surgeries, birth trauma, emotional shocks — the body remembers, even years later.

5️⃣ Lack of deep rest
Not just sleep — but deep nervous system rest.
Without it, pain becomes a pattern.

This is why many people feel that “nothing really helps”.

Craniosacral Therapy works with the nervous system itself, helping the body shift out of chronic stress and into balance.

When the nervous system calms down, pain often has no reason to stay.

If this sounds familiar, your body and mind may be asking for a different kind of support 🤍

Lovely post about Reiki from Nicole x

Reiki Spotlight:

Modern Understanding of an ancient practice.

Reiki is often described as gentle, calming, and deeply restorative, but there’s more depth beneath the surface.

Let’s explore Reiki through a science-informed lens.

While Reiki isn’t a medical treatment, research suggests it may support:

• Nervous system regulation (shifting from stress response into rest-and-repair)

• Reduced anxiety and perceived stress

• Improved emotional wellbeing and relaxation

From a neuroscience viewpoint, Reiki sessions can promote:

Activation of the parasympathetic nervous system (the calm you) #

Slower breathing and heart rate
Reduced cortisol (stress hormone) responses

This creates the internal conditions where the body’s own healing mechanisms can function more effectively.

In simple terms: when the body feels safe, it can heal

The Philosophy

At its heart, Reiki is based on the belief that:

We all have an innate capacity for balance and wellbeing

Stress, trauma, and emotional overload can disrupt this natural flow

Gentle, compassionate presence helps restore harmony

Reiki aligns closely with modern ideas around mind–body connection, self-regulation, and co-regulation.

The Practice

A Reiki session is:

Non-invasive and deeply relaxing

Delivered through light touch or hands-off techniques

Client-led, your body takes what it needs

Many people describe feeling:
Warmth, tingling, or deep calm

Emotional release or mental clarity

A sense of being “reset” or grounded

Sometimes, the most powerful medicine is stillness, kindness, and just being present without having to think or explain yourself.

I offer traditional Usui Reiki blended with relaxing hypnotherapy & calming natural remedy combinations at Satori Complementary Therapy Centre

If you’d like to give your mind, body & spirit a holiday

If your mind, body & spirit are asking for rest

Reiki offers a calm, supportive pause.

Hope you feel the Imbolc love, light & beauty somewhere in your day 🌿

Really good post from Anna Rozentsvit, holistic approach to the body *special offer enclosed!

Why does chronic pain keep coming back — no matter what you try?

Massage helps… but only for a few days.
Physio works… then everything returns.
Painkillers mask the pain… but never solve it.

And slowly, frustration grows.

Neck tension.
Chronic back pain.
Shoulder tightness.
Headaches.
Deep tiredness in the body.

Very often, the real reason is not weak muscles or poor posture.
It is chronic stress stored in the nervous system.

When stress becomes long-term, the body stays stuck in fight-or-flight mode.

Muscles remain contracted — especially in the neck, shoulders and back.

Blood flow reduces.

Breathing becomes shallow.

Pain sensitivity increases.

This is why pain keeps returning.
If your body never truly relaxes, it cannot fully heal.🤍
If your pain keeps returning…
It may not mean that your body is weak or damaged.

It may simply mean that your nervous system needs deeper support.

Craniosacral therapy can become the key that helps your body break the cycle of chronic stress, tension and pain.

Sometimes healing begins not with force —
but with gentleness, safety and listening to the body. 🤍

If Heineken did Bowen, it would be just like Bowen Therapy by Dawn Johnson ! she offers Bowen, Reiki, Indian head and Barrs, She’s at satori every week so give her a shout & get booked in ASAP.

The nervous system is an intricate network — not a switch to be flipped, but a system to be respected.

Bowen Therapy takes a gentle, considered approach, offering light, precise moves followed by intentional pauses. This creates space for the body to process information and reorganise itself naturally, as best it's able.

Sometimes, meaningful change can begin with doing less — not more.

Another lovely post from Nicole, she offered hypnotherapy, homeopathy & of course Reiki

Monday Ponder.

Sharing a few reasons to bring Reiki into your life.

Reiki calms the nervous system super fast, supporting the body to move out of stress response and into rest, repair and balance. Perfect 🍃

Releases emotional weight.
We don’t always realise how much we’re carrying until we put it down. Who doesn’t want to feel light & uplifted 🍃

Reiki creates time & space to put the heavy stuff DOWN and make room for more light in your life 🍃

It’s soooo grounding, especially when life gets busy. Reiki eases you back into your body, into the present moment, bringing a sense of inner steadiness 🍃

To support sleep 💤 focus & energy.
Have you noticed when your nervous system is calmer, everything else works better too 🍃

To reconnect & COME BACK to yourself. Reiki subtly reminds your body and mind how to come back into balance & supports energy to flow 🍃

We dont need to be so hard on ourselves.

Later this week we explore Reiki philosophy, practice & principles.

But just for now

Pause. Breathe. Reset
