It is a martial arts as well as a spiritual path for personal development and self-enlightenment. It is an exercise system developed in China from QiGong that uses particular sequences of body movements to increase self-awareness and life energy (Chi) in the body in order to achieve physical, mental and spiritual harmony. T’ai Chi utilises slow, graceful and very beautiful sequences of movements syncronized with breathing. It is very common to see in the Chinese parks hundreds of people practicing T’ai Chi in the same way that we see hundreds of people jogging or skating in the parks of the western coutries. For them T’ai Chi is a popular and economical way of improving health, prevent disease and keep themselves fit and young. |

Thai MassageThai massage, developed by Shivago Kumar Bhucca 2500 years ago, is based on the theory that invisible lines of force run through the body. Whilst not based on the Chinese meridian system, it does rely on another system of energy lines that is quite similar. No oils or creams are used, the recipient is fully clothed, and the massage takes place in a suitable amount of space on, say, a floor or near a pool. Thai massage practitioners use hands, feet, elbows, knees and legs to stretch, balance and energize the recipient's body. The stretching often takes the form of assisted yoga, and the massage itself relies upon the massage therapist kneading the muscles, applying pressure to accupressure points, and flushing the toxins and dead cells from the body. The effects of the massage are immediate and lasting, both spiritually & physically. Information provided by Tom Coyle |

Therapeutic TouchTherapeutic Touch, developed by Dolores Krieger and Dora Kunz in the 70s, is a non-invasive technique that uses the flow of energy through the palms to soothe and heal. Methods may vary but generally the practitioner will pass her hands over your body from head to toe, front and back, holding them two to four inches away from your skin. This is done to assess the condition of your energy field. The practitioner may then use rhythmical, sweeping motions of her hands in your energy field, to rebalance it. She may or may not actually touch you. Therapeutic touch (based on the ancient arts of healing and laying on of hands) is now the most widely used complementary therapy in the USA. Because of this, over the last 15 years extensive research and trials on its effectiveness have been carried out. As interest in complementary therapies among conventional health care practitioners in the UK continues to grow, nurses are increasingly keen to add therapeutic touch to the complementary medical skills they employ in practice.
