Tree Spirit Healing

Recently, I adopted a puppy. Taking him out on his walks every day, made me realise a startling fact. I don’t spend enough time outdoors in nature. I believe in our busy lives, a lot of us are guilty of the same thing. This morning, I took the pup out early, it was chilly, but the sun was just creeping over the horizon. The air was crisp and filled with anticipation for the new day.

Beach Healing Magic

Rachel Sturman-Panter — Sun, 24 Jun 2018 08:55:00 +0000

A visit to the beach. Does this conjure visions of an annual event, involving a car load of children/toys/bedding/provisions etc. Spending a week all confined into a small space. Too much alcohol being consumed and everyone returning home sunburned and grumpy? Or, like me, do you take time out for yourself to recharge and de-stress. You don’t need a week, a day trip is good. For me beaches are…

Reflexology for Anxiety and Stress

Rachel Sturman-Panter — Mon, 28 May 2018 01:38:08 +0000

Annie first recommended reflexology to me, as a way to help with general anxiety and stress caused by a long term serious health condition, which also causes widespread, severe pain. I am a long term advocate of complementary therapies, but strangely had never tried reflexology. I have a knowledge of anatomy and physiology, so could understand the principle of the therapy.

What is Kineseology?

Rachel Sturman-Panter — Wed, 18 Apr 2018 03:13:59 +0000

My journey…. Kinesiology is muscle testing. Dictionary definition; the study of the principle of mechanics and anatomy in relation to human movement. It is a simple, non invasive assessment tool, used by many health practitioners to assess different ailments, from a broad, general health status, to specific physical, emotional or psychological stresses. Or a combination of these…

My Egyptian Sekhem Initiation

Guest Blogger — Fri, 24 Nov 2017 02:07:21 +0000

When I went round to see Annie the other evening, I thought we’d be giving each other an Indian Head Massage – our usual Friday night energy swap. Little did I know I would come out initiated in the Egyptian art of Sekhem! I had a Sekhem treatment with Annie about a year ago, and it’s my favourite out of all the therapies I’ve had at Heaven Scent Bliss. The treatment itself is a bit like Reiki…

Experiencing Sea Shell Healing

Guest Blogger — Tue, 20 Jun 2017 01:40:44 +0000

Like many of my other treatments at Heaven Scent Bliss, my seashell healing session starts with Annie asking me to set my intentions. In the last week my brain has been processing lots of hurt and anger, and I am emotionally wrung out. I’d like my whirling mind to be calm and peaceful once more – and this is what I ask for. Annie brings out two baskets full of shells. They are beautiful and…

A Sensitive Soul

Guest Blogger — Tue, 20 Jun 2017 01:17:18 +0000

I’m cooking bacon and eggs for my lunch, and as the comforting aroma fills the kitchen, it seems more like a Sunday morning than a Wednesday afternoon. I’d normally grab a sandwich or have a salad at this time on a working day, so why the bacon and eggs? If I say I’ve just come back from a kinesiology session with Annie Day at Heaven Scent Bliss, you might still wonder at my sudden desire for this…

Havening with Annie

Guest Blogger — Mon, 05 Jun 2017 23:16:04 +0000

I have an important event coming up. It’s a day on which I need to feel confident, have my wits about me and most definitely NOT let my emotions take over. I go to see Annie at Heaven Scent Bliss. She’s promised me that a havening treatment will sort me out and I’m interested to know what’s involved and how it will help. Annie greets me at the gate, as bubbly as ever and with the usual welcome…

My Hopi Ear Candling Experience

Guest Blogger — Mon, 27 Mar 2017 23:32:27 +0000

I used to know someone who swore by ear candles as a relaxation therapy. I couldn’t understand it at the time. I mean, why would you want to stick a lighted candle in your ear? Surely wax drips on your face? It turns out, they’re not really candles at all, but tubes made out of beeswax, honey extract, herbs (sage, St. John’s wort and chamomile, if you’re interested) and pure essential oils.

Egyptian Sekhem: My Ultimate Mindfulness Experience

Guest Blogger — Wed, 16 Nov 2016 02:30:27 +0000

I struggle with mindfulness. I’ve got the meditation apps and I’ve tried yoga, but I find it difficult to completely empty my mind. I start off with all good intentions and even do the deep breathing, but before I know it, I’m working through a knotty problem at work or wondering what to buy for tea. At the moment, my mind is especially busy with an imminent house move and a new business.
