Aran Islands Healing Rach Burke

Aran Islands Healing Rach Burke I love the biodynamic craniosacral approach to working with the body and am always amazed at how the body can repair, recover, rejuvenate and heal itself!!

I am a qualified Advanced Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist, with a diploma in Sound Therapy (working with individuals and with groups) and a Professional Laser Therapist in Bioflex LILT. BIODYNAMIC CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY (BCST)

I started my training in Craniosacral Therapy in 2007 and have trained with 2 different craniosacral schools in Ireland, each had a different approach and I have done many post-grad workshops over the years, here in Ireland and abroad with other craniosacral schools. BCST is a gentle hands-on therapy, that works with the pace of the client, to help bring about a state of balance and health. It works with the body’s own healing ability to change the affects that stress, injury, shock, illness, trauma and impact have on the body, supporting the client on a physical, mental and emotional level as they move towards better health. A cranio treatment is an hour of biodynamic craniosacral therapy. SOUND THERAPY & HEALING

In cranio we also work with the meridians and accupressure points and this got me interested in using tuning forks on these points. I noticed the body responded very well to them and to other sounds and this led me to doing a diploma in Sound Therapy & Healing using lots of different instruments: Tibetan bowls, gongs, crystal bowls, tuning forks, drums & percussion, vocal toning, rattles & shakers, rainstick & Tibetan bells. Our body absorbs the sounds (we are approx. 80% water & sound travels very well through water) and the frequency from the sounds travel right into cellular level affecting our cells health and function, and works deeply and quickly, yet gently. At a cellular level, the internal part of our cells is directly and continuously connected to the external fibers by molecules called integrins, which communicate information back and forth between the cell interior and connective tissue system in which the cells are embedded. The living matrix is defined as the continuous molecular fabric of the organism, consisting of fascia, other connective tissues, extra cellular matrices, integrins, cytoskeletons, nuclear matrices and DNA. It has the ability to generate and conduct vibrations, and appears to serve as an “energetic nervous system“, that conducts energy and information much faster than nerve impulses. (James Oschman 2000) Basically all our cells can connect and communicate with every other cell in the body, very very very quickly! Through the Living Matrix, sound affects our whole body’s health, and changes take place in our immune system, endocrine system and autonomic system. Sounds can also alter the brain frequencies to the different brainwaves associated with the deep states of relaxation (e.g. alpha-theta and delta) that change mental states of consciousness resulting in relaxation, peace, calmness and healing. Healing sounds also help balance our left and right brain hemispheres, manifest positive states of consciousness linking to mental, emotional and physical balance, harmony and well-being. Sound can bring about transformation on every level of our being – physical, emotional, mental, energetic and spiritual. A Sound treatment lasts an hour and can be given to an individual, or to a group of people (this is usually called a Sound Bath, Sound Meditation or a Sound Journey). I hold Sound Baths regularly on the island. If you have a group coming to the island and would like a Sound Bath for them, please contact me. We also work with the Living Matrix in biodynamic craniosacral therapy. I’ve also found a combination of sound and cranio is a beautiful way to work with the body. BIOFLEX LASER THERAPY

Bioflex Laser Therapy is a light-based therapy that uses red and infrared light to target inflamed, injured and diseased tissues. It is also called Cold Laser or Low Level Laser Therapy as it doesn’t use a laser that produces heat that damages the skin when placed on the body. It uses Led lights that range between 660nm and 840nm. It is non-invasive and works with our cells. The light interacts with our cells resulting in an increased production of and the release of endorphins (natural analgesics), cortisol, growth hormone (instrumental in tissue repair) and ATP (which improves and regulates cellular metabolism. There is also increased protein synthesis (collagen, DNA, fibroblasts), venous and lymphatic flow facilitated, increased angiogenesis (elevation of oxygen saturation) and enhanced immune response. Sessions vary in length, from approx. 35 mins to 70 mins, e.g. treating a larger area like the back would be a longer treatment session than treating a smaller area like a wrist or the fingers.

Thanks to everyone who came to the Sound Bath last night. It was a lovely hour of relaxing healing sounds with Tibetan bowls, Spacedrum, vocals, koshi, shakers and bell shakers in Monica's house, which was lovely and warm and toasty! :)

I'm always feeling like I should be doing something more, whether it's working out, sleeping, cooking, or playing with my kids. I suspect a lot of moms feel this way, but I think this need to constantly be active also stems from my lifelong struggles…

To understand why increasing numbers of doctors and scientists are touting fascia is the basis of pain and disease, you must understand it's neuroendocrine functions.

Low back pain has obvious lifestyle and financial burdens; when it is accompanied by radiation of pain and numbness in the lower extremities, it can be truly debilitating. Read about laser therapy for disc herniations.

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a debilitating disease entity that can severely impact the patient’s quality of life. Read more about laser therapy as a treatment modality.

Some benefits of using Bioflex laser!

Trauma may tear or rupture one or more tendons of the SITS muscles. Supraspinatus, Infraspinatus, Teres Minor and Subscapularis. But the most commonly involved is the Supraspinatus.
Your golf swing may be affected if these muscles are being compromised. Couldn't sleep at night? Couldn't reach behind? Overhead movements are painful? Ask our ALRC Team on how Laser Therapy can help. www.albertalaserrehab.ca

2. Drumming reduces stress and boosts the immune system
3. Drumming produces deeper self-awareness by inducing synchronous brain activity (Hemispheric Coordination) and promoting alpha waves
4. Drumming helps to releases negative feelings and emotional trauma
5. Drumming helps us to connect with self and others
6. Drumming helps us connect to the natural rhythms all around us
7. Drumming provides a path by which we may access a higher power
8. Drumming grounds us in the present moment
9. Drumming helps us to reach a state of self-realization

A lot of people now spend a lot of money on massages. It's become a billion dollar business nationwide. But what if you don't like the intense pushing and pulling that goes along with it. Then…

DRUMS: Listening or playing a drum in a gentle soothing rhythmic beat brings calming, forgiving, accepting, soothing and compassionate healing energies. This can be beneficial to those who find it hard to relax, take time out for themselves, or who are agitated and stressed. Using increasing sound and rhythms brings about dynamic, lively and awakening energy which also brings more energy into the energy chakras, mind, body and spirit.

TIBETAN BOWLS have the natural ability to work through the physical, energy, mental/emotional and soul layers. The vibrations of the bowls affect the skin, tissues and organs, systems (e.g. immune), aura, meridians, cells and DNA. They balance and heal the physical body and synchronise the two hemispheres of the brain. The bowls can also facilitate us in entering into altered states of being and allow us to enter into the alpha-­theta optimum healing frequency.

They give relief from worry, stress and anxiety. The sounds of the bowls go deep into the cells of the physical body and release blockages or stored energy allowing us to become balanced, more whole and they reform new healthy patterns of harmony and well-being.

They can also increase the speed of recovery from surgery and injury, and help reduce and alleviate both structural and muscular pain. They increase energy, vitality and creativity. This is a beautiful sounding G note Tibetan Bowl from Gandharva Loka!
