 Free Craniosacral Therapy Seminar
Canine and Equine




Stillness Institute presents our first Equine and Canine Craniosacral Course held in Australia, after it's success overseas in Sweden.  The first course will run on the Central Coast of NSW with consecutive courses held in other parts of the country.

The Seminar

We will be presenting a 3 hour Seminar on the Central Coast on 7th November 2010 to outline the content of both the Equine and Canine Series .

The Seminar is a free hands on demonstration of craniosacral therapy on both horses and dogs and you will be given the opportunity to perceive the craniosacral rhythm on each other.

You will have the opportunity to ask questions and registrations for the upcoming introductory course will also be taken on the day.

To RSVP to attend the free seminar, click here.

What is Craniosacral Therapy?

It is a hands on therapy. For treatment, you will usually lie on a treatment table and experience the very light touch of the therapist's hands. You may feel a deep sense of relaxation, and possibly become aware of heat, tingling, pulsations or other sensations.

This extremely gentle therapy uses no manipulation. The therapist listens, via the hands, to what is going on in your body, and in this way both identifies and relieves pains or tensions held in the body.

CranioSacral Therapy is client-led. Your body will set the pace of work, so you will remain comfortable, in control and able to integrate the changes that occur.

CranioSacral Therapy is becoming much better known these days. It is based on a number of findings about the body's subtle physiology, which were made by osteo- paths in the USA nearly 100 years ago. These findings show that every cell in a healthy body expresses a rhythmic movement which is fundamental to life  and which has been called craniosacral motion.

At the core of the body the cerebrospinal fluid, which bathes and cushions the brain and spinal cord, expresses this motion in a tidelike ebb and flow, while bones organs and other structures and tissues in the body each follow their own particular pattern of movement. This motion is so subtle that it is  barely measurable with instruments, but the hands of a trained therapist are able to perceive and subtly interact with it in a therapeutic way, which brings about self (and cell) re-organisation and healing in the various tissues and systems as well as in the different layers of the body's energy field.

Introducing Alison Filihia
Kinesiology Practitioner 

Alison Filihia


Alison Filihia is a holistic kinesiologist who is passionate about educating people about the body/mind connection and helping her clients achieve emotional freedom.

Alison believes that every thought, belief and emotion we have directly affects our physical body. Negative thinking, stressfull times or lifestyles cause energy or qi to become blocked or stagnant within the energetic pathways in the body called "meridians". The meridians flow to all the organs in the body, which also connect to muscles and relate to emotions too.

Kinesiology is mainly about balancing the energy flows or "qi" in the body that has become blocked due to all forms of stress. Imagine the meridians as a stream of water that flows around your whole body carrying vital nutrients, blood and supplies to keep you healthy and balanced. If you experience a late night, an argument with a friend or busy time at work, your body and it's amazing physiology can regulate itself back to balance or homeostatis quickly. Hormones, vitamins, minerals, amino acid, cells all work together to acess the bodies own amazing natural healing potential.

When a person experiences any prolonged types of stress either physically, emotionally, nutritionally or energetically, the body may not be able to cope and can be pulled out of balance.

You may start experience headaches, fatigue, back or neck pain or you may feel more emotional eg loosing your temper more, feeling angry and frustrated, over worrying, anxiety or even excessive grief.

This is your bodies way of communicating to you that it is not "happy" or coping with your past and present lifestyle or experiences. It's sending you friendly messages to pay attention.

If you ignore these signs and push on without making any changes or adjustments, then the body can start to send you bigger, angrier messages by increasing your symptoms!

Alison believes the body is a mirror of our inner thoughts and beliefs. The body is always talking to us, if we only take the time to listen. Every cell in our body responds to every single thought you think and every word you speak.

Understanding this link between our thoughts and our physical health changed Alison's LIFE!

At age 30 Alison, a fit energetic and healthy wife and mother of 2 beautiful girls started to experience a gradual but steady decline in her health. Ever increasing fatigue, "fuzzy head", digestive problems, food sensitivites, chronic back and neck pain took over her whole life. No doctor was able to help and all blood tests showed up normal. She had brain scans and tests, but she was told there was nothing wrong. For 5 years she struggled to cope with her silent illness. From the outside she looked fine, but inside she felt like she was being poisoned. The only thing Alison new that could be contributing to her illness was her long time mental, emotional and physical exhaustion due to caring for some one with alcohol and drug problems.

Finally after 5 years a friend suggested a therapist who works with energy. This therapist used a technique that involves tapping on specific acupoints on the body while you talk about what was going on in your life when your symptoms started and experience that are still causing you stress when you think about them.

Alison recalls the experience as totally life changing as she quickly noticed pain in her neck and back disappearing. At the end of the session she could talk about painful experiences from the past without any emotional attachment, talk about amazing and POWERFUL!

Since then Alison has gone on to achieve her diploma in Holistic Kinesiology and achieve a health transformation.

She no longer has any physical pain, or fuzzy head, she no longer needs to eat gluten free or dairy free and has enough energy, balance and happiness to be the mum she wants to be, enjoy her family and follow her dreams.

5 Amazing Benefits of Kinesiology
Food Sensitivties
1. Muscle testing allows the therapist to directly access their clients - SUBCONSCIOUS and the key ingredient when discovering the ROOT OF THE PROBLEM or DISEASE!
Testing muscles, directly access the nerve pathways that travel from all muscles to the spinal column and central nervous system to the BRAIN - and the subconscious mind.

2. By treating the cause, you can successfully elliminate the symptoms.
Helping clients discover and understand "what" is contributing their unhappiness or illness is very EMPOWERING!

3. Kinesiology treats the body as a "whole".
Muscle testing is used to show the client how a broad range of elements can be contributing to their dis-ease.
Kinesiologists willl test for:
Emotional issues: underlying emotional issues, thoughts and limiting beliefs that are trapped in the persons body creating stress.
Nutritional imbalances: such as allergies, sensitivites, vitamin and mineral deficiencies and toxicity, heavy metals, dehydration, candida.
Physical Imbalances: in muscles, organs, glands, hormones and cells. Also structural imbalances in cranial bones, fascial train and the pelvis.
Energetic Imbalances: within the chakras, acupressure system, meridians and auras.

4. Indepth councelling
A major part of kinesiology involves indepth questioning regarding health from birth to present day. Also parents and siblings health. Important notice will be taken around what was going on in their life when the dis-ease started. The clients emotional state is very important to understanding the cause and treatement.
The therapist may even have to even use muscle testing to access past life experiences and lessons they have brought into this present life.

5. Kinesiology helps facilitate the bodies OWN NATURAL HEALING!
Once the contributing factors have been determined, a kinesiologist will use simple corrective techniques to help clear energetic blockages in the body that have become blocked. This allows vital energy and nutrients to flow freely again, which helps the body restore itself naturally.
Techniques can include:
acupressure, sound therapy, flower essences, neurolymphatic rubbing and stimulation, neuro-vascular stimulation, affirmations
ays and Sundays from 11am, or by appointment

My name is Virginia Ede and I am extremely happy and proud to be a Holistic Animal Therapy practitioner.  My specialty is Bowen Therapy and I have trained not only in the human aspect of this beautiful and innovative therapy, but also more specially in animal anatomy & physiology, behaviour and bio mechanics, in order to provide a better service to Mother Nature's creatures.
I cannot understate the absolute amazing progress and success that this therapy is capable of bringing about.  Simple to say that my passion for it and its results is enough.
For any animal lovers who may be interested, This coming weekend, being the 30th & 31st October, I am excited to be hosting an Animal Communication and Chakra workshop in Davistown, with the lovely Lucy Gabrielle, who is specifically flying down for Qld to conduct this course. 
As my greatest goal is in the creation of a healing haven and educational centre for animals, this workshop is one step towards the human taking time out to actually making the effort to understand what is being told to them by our animal family.
Unfortunately, too many of our society see animals as 'things', trophies or accessories, giving no thought to what the animal may want or need in its life journey.  As a volunteer in animal rescue, I now have greater knowledge as to what these innocents go through just by sharing their lives with us. 
Education is the key and the more of us who understand the basis of what animals are about, the better OUR lives will be.
How many prey animals allow us, as predators, to sit on their back and transport us around without too much concern?  How many canines become service animals in order to bring quality to a human's life?  How many of our companion animals bring us love, adoration, pleasure and joy, only asking that we respect and honour their needs, and that includes the instinctive aspects of their nature?  Who shows us so much simple joy in our presence with a wag of the tail, or a lick on the hand?  They are totally honest and open, and to them, life is about being in the present moment and it is that simple!
I can speak from experience with my beautiful rescue family.  When you are feeling low, they know and they are right by your side, giving you companionship and sharing their heart in order that you will begin to feel better.  They show you honesty in their excitement at you coming home, even if you have only been gone 5 mins.  They don't care whether you are fat, thin, tall, short or having a bad hair day. In essence, they go beyond the physical that we are so caught up with, and honour the person that we are within.  They love us for who we truly are, and are quick to forgive when we lapse from our "perfect" state.
So many of these beautiful creatures sacrifice their well being and in some cases, their lives, in order to bring such awareness to the human creature that generally walks through life not capable of seeing the beauty that surrounds us on a daily basis.
The animals in my life have taught, and continue to teach, me so much about life and what is true, and it is for these reasons that I am dedicated in giving back to them in whatever loving way I can.
In my Equine Bowen practitioner course, my instructor is always stating that we are for the horse; to give back to the horse; and totally about the horse - (and always from the heart) - that we enter into this work.
It is time for us to starting taking notice, and listening to these wonderful educators, because through them we can learn and discover so much about ourselves.
What do you think?
with blessings, love, light and much laughter

A Journey to Wellness 
Written by Veronica Rawlinson

Blessings
Artwork "Blessings" by Tracy Robbins
Blessed are the meek....these are the words running through my head that I woke to more and more often. I knew them from somewhere somehow the seemed familiar but that was all.

I had been diagnosed with Mixed Connective Tissue disease (a cross if you like between SLE (lupus) and rheumatoid arthritis.) I was a good patient following all the doctors advice with my weight ballooning to 120kg and fast heading to a dress size 22 due to medication. I struggled with dressing myself as pain and weakness wracked my body.Needless to say I was not in a happy place.

At this point something changed I had continued to ask the heavens for help and those words Blessed are the meek kept running through my mind like a mantra.

"If it is to be it's upto me" was always one of my core beliefs. What is a core belief? They are what Oprah would say "things I know for sure", beliefs that you have lived by, you don't know where they came from but part of who you truly are.

For me...I believe people come into your life for a reason, and things happen to you for a reason. The reason is all to do with lessons.

When you know the Earth is a teaching planet and you have chosen your life this time for a specific lesson/lessons you wish to experience for your Souls growth then you can stand back and look at these sometimes tough experiences with more acceptance and a calmer persona.

Remember too if you are not aware and don't "get" the lesson the first time then it will continue to come back in a different guise with different players until you finally look at the bigger picture and change the way you deal with it.

This was the place I found myself in...what to do now? If it was upto me and I had brought this on myself then how was I to fix it?

Being an avid reader I decided to start there and was drawn to Louise Hay's You Can Heal Your Life a book I still recommend to this day.

Another core belief for me was if you cut yourself ,it bleeds then in a week or so it heals without a trace .If your body has the ability to do that with small problems I thought it should be able to do that with any health problem given the right circumstances so the secret was to find the circumstances. The more books I consumed the more this belief was confirmed.

I found many alternative herbalists ,therapists, healers some worked some didn't for me that is. I learnt reiki and found this helped with my sleep patterns being an insomniac I was aware the body needed rest to heal so reiki was a good thing which I decided to learn more about.

I formed links with a great group who shared their knowledge and where I continued to grow and change my thoughts.

I would plateau for a while soaking in the information and allowing it to sit with me for awhile until I was pushed in a new direction. Amongst all of this I held a fulltime job and had school age children so the sense of responsibility to them was also strong for me to get better for them. Sometimes the pain and weakness was overwhelming but something inside kept my inquisitiveness searching for answers.

It was at this point that I met a man who had been in Egypt learning Angelic Reiki needless to say I was curious as I had been drawn to all things Angel. After having some healing with him things changed. The healings were amazing not like I had experienced previously and I felt a calmness and assuredness that I was on the right track .I believe this energy shifts things moves the dross quickly if you like that is my experience anyway as weight came off and my hair grew back thicker and healthier. Believing strongly in this amazing energy I have gone on to learn and now teach this to others.

On saying all of this your healing is your responsibility and if you are not open or ready or if you enjoy your illness then nothing will work for you I was ready that is all. The secret really is IT IS UP TO YOU.....you can go to as many doctors, therapists, healers as you like take all the tonics and vitamins but if you are not ready to step up to your full potential to be who are you truly meant to be then you are not ready for your healing .Sometimes things have to get pretty bad a dark night of the Soul perhaps before we decide enough is enough....it is up to you.

Someone rang me one morning and read me a passage from an old book Starseed Transmissions by Ken Carey "True Spiritual leaders will not try to hold you in subordinate patterns, but will pull you as quickly as they can to their level, and push you, if you are capable of going beyond. On the other side of the psychological process, the greatest among you will, as Jesus taught, be the servants of us all. It is these servants who will rightly occupy the necessary positions of practical leadership. Those who do not have the humility to accept this necessary authority in matters of day to day living will not be among the meek who inherit the Earth".

A piece to the puzzle had fallen into place.

Unlocking the reasons for my illness and working towards wellness has been sometimes difficult but ultimately a blessing as I learnt to embrace the Christ Conciousness and the lesson that Jesus taught which was that of Love.

Blessed are the meek of course is from the Beatitudes in the book of Matthew.

My life continues to move toward a more spiritual way of being as I follow my inner guidance and feel an inner peace and calmness that I now know my life's path and you can do it too....it is upto you!

About Angelic Reiki.....this new energy was channelled to Founder Kevin Core by the Archangel Metatron who referred to it as "the healing of our time" Founders website information www.angelicreikimagic.com

"You are the centre of the Universe...so act accordingly" author unknown.

I wish you Love and Angel Blessings on your own journey.

Homo-Luminous- The New Human by Alberto Villoldo
towards 2012
 "Many prophesies in the indigenous world speak of this time in human history as a period of great transformation. In the medicine tradition of the Inca, legend tells of a great angel who looked into the future and saw that humanity would face an enormous task at the beginning of the 21st century. Extenuating circumstances in an extremely difficult and challenging time would require extraordinary effort to bring about peace and heal the heart of the world. "Who would like to volunteer?" the angel asked. Knowing we could make a difference, we jumped up and said, "Me!"

"Through this great transformation, a new human is emerging on the earth. I call this new human "homo luminous." Shamanic traditions understand that evolution happens within generations. It is for us to take that quantum leap into who we are becoming. We can become homo luminous in our lifetime. This is our greatest task: to take that quantum leap individually because as we do it for ourselves, we do it for the entire planet. Each and every one of us, when we choose truth, when we choose life, when we choose light, we are transforming the world."
