Helix Health

Energy Medicine

Energy medicine is based on the principle that energy, known as qi/chi, prana, orgone, ether, and many other names, affect human health and can promote healing. It is a broad term used to describe many different disciplines that have this energetic basis in common. Helix Health makes use of non-piercing acupuncture, acupressure, energy psychology, Bach Flower Remedies and Reiki.

Acupuncture is a form of therapy based on the principles of acupuncture. There is a variety of different acupuncture systems which all employ different methods. The acupuncture system used in Applied Kinesiology is based primarily on the concepts of Chinese Acupuncture, particularly Five Element Constitutional Acupuncture. Acupressure uses the same methodology as acupuncture, but instead of using needles to stimulate points, digital pressure or a non-piercing needle is used.

Acu-point tapping: Acu-point tapping for psychological dysfunction was first used by Dr Roger Callahan, a psychologist using applied kinesiology. Dr Callahan's principles of acu-point tapping is used for addressing phobias, intrusive traumatic memories and other anxiety related symptoms. At its simplest, the technique consists of isolating nervous system dysfunction through acu-points and tapping active points whilst the person thinks / repeats a statement linked to the anxiety response. Acu-point tapping is also useful for pain relief.

Psychological Reversal refers to strongly held beliefs that may hinder progress and impede recovery. The way in which abnormal illness behaviour and attributions may be perpetuating ill health in some cases remains a contentious issue, but is certainly not without merit. It is thought that certain strongly held beliefs may act as obstacles to recovery. A positive attitude is most likely to produce the best outcome.

Emotional Stress Release: Emotional Stress plays an important and often overlooked role in physical and mental health. Simply put, emotional stress is the psychological component of stress. The emotional stress reflexes are located bilaterally over the frontal bone eminences on the forehead and was adapted in Applied Kinesiology as an effective adjunct to relieve emotional stress.

Bach flower remedies, also known as Bach flower essences was developed by Dr Edward Bach. There are 38 original Bach flower remedies and each one is a dilution of a flower 'essence'. The 'essence' are viewed as specific unique qualities imparted by the flowers. These remedies in conjunction with 'Rescue Remedy', forms a complete system which aims to address emotional aspects and issues. Each remedy can be used in isolation or in conjunction with other flower remedies to create the optimum blend for each individual emotional predicament.

Reiki-Seichem is an energy healing system based on the principle that energetic imbalances is a major component for physiological and psychological dysfunction. Restoring energetic balance therefore allows the body to re-establish normal function physiologically and psychologically. Reiki-Seichem sessions are also notoriously relaxing and pleasant and might simply be effective by inducing a deep state of relaxation conducive to mental health.
