Stress Release Made Easy Workshop

This ½ day workshop gives you an understanding of what stress is and how the body responds to stress. It will show you the warning signs of stress and how to manage your stress. Using the simple, yet powerful techniques in this workshop you can also help your family find effective ways of managing stress.

Several different approaches to stress management will be demonstrated because no single technique works for everybody all the time. Find what works best for you and those who you care about and then use these techniques regularly.

This workshop is focused on:
sharing ways to increase your stress tolerance,
renewing your depleted resources for resisting stress
learning new skills for managing stress.

Using these techniques will lead to increased flexibility, adaptability and resilience.

“The prevention and cure of disease can be found by discovering the wrong within ourselves…final and complete healing ultimately comes from within.”
-Heal Thyself, Edward Bach

Introducing…Bach Flower Essences

Who was Dr. Edward Bach? What are “Flower Essences”? Why should any one care? Join us for a discussion of the work that led to the creation of the amazing and powerful Bach Flower Essences, and how these can be used as tools to help you enjoy life to the fullest. We will discus some of the differences between homeopathic and herbal preparations, while featuring a few of our personal favourites.

The Great Thirty-eight
With 38 remedies to choose from, it can be hard to know where to start. We will examine the Essences one at a time, identifying the negative emotions that each remedy works to transform. Each person will leave the class with a Bach combination of his or her choosing.
Investment: $100, includes handouts, certificate of attendance, customized Bach blend. Call 763-2914 to register

Reflexology

Through application of pressure on these reflexes, reflexology relieves tension, improves circulation and helps promote the natural function of these parts and their related areas of the body.

Tension and stress, which we all have in our everyday lives, have been linked to many diseases and reflexology’s primary benefit is its ability to reduce stress. Reflexology allows the body to shift from the sympathetic nervous system; the system that deals with stress in flight or fight, over to the parasympathetic nervous system, the system that rests and repairs the body. Reflexology can be profoundly relaxing. The body heals best when it is relaxed.

Reflexology is an ancient natural healing technique and is documented in Egyptian tombs from 2300 BC. Reflexology can be done on the feet, hands or ears making it a very practical and mobile therapy.

Foot reflexology fees including 6 days of class, manual, workbook, membership in RAC, joining fee, exam fees, and GST, are $978.75. Payments of all funds are made out to RAC by certified cheque, money order, Visa or MasterCard to the RAC office.
