NATURAL HEALTH?

Theory of Health

Living life covers every imaginable experience according to the need of the individual. Health thus is the never ending rebalance of the natural pendulum swing between well-ness and ill-ness. The degree is subject to the ability of the individual to manage choice / experience on a physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, social and occupational level. Fear, discomfort, pain and disease areexpressions of human incompleteness and needs CHANGE for balance and growth.

Philosophy

As the acorn knows to grow an oak tree, so each human being knows the way. Experiencing inner knowledge, by living life, brings understanding of one’s being and personal spiritual-growth.

The keys to health are:

TREATMENTS

NaturMotion is a hands-on integrated treatment of:

What does a NaturMotion treatment consist of?

NaturMotion is a wholistic back-to-body-basics approach.
The treatment skillfully combines the above modalities to relieve pain, reduce stress and promote Self-healing, Breathwork & Self-help techniques are used to assist the client to become Self-empowered on both a physical & metaphysical level.

The benefits and function of the 4 modalities that combine to form the NaturMotion treatment often overlap and the one enhances the function of the other.

System:

A non-therapeutic Modality – It is an accepted principle that no person can heal another...

The human body is capable of healing itself of anything. Knowing how to activate, stimulate and enhance the process is the key to this system of health.

Concept:

• It looks at health from the perspective of the PURPOSE OF LIFE.
• Thus has a SELF-study, self-help, self-heal approach.
• It is firstly a PREVENTATIVE health system.
• It taps into the NATURAL REGENERATIVE ABILITY of the human body.
• It concentrates on RESTORING HEALTH rather than curing sickness.
• It understands the NEED to find and eliminate the CAUSES of illness.
• It includes client health EDUCATION on a physical and meta-physical level.

Promotion:

• Through education and health management plans, clients are made aware of CHOICES of HEALTH CARE.
• They are encouraged to take responsibility and become self-empowered.
• They are stimulated to develop their innate multi-sensory and multi-dimensional abilities to live effectively and effortlessly.
• They learn how to eliminate fear-based control patterns of the mind to create balance and well-ness. (How to rewrite the software of the mind as to change the printout of the body).
• The body’s self-heal capacity is activated and stimulated to re-instate well-ness.
• The mental body, where fear and ego thrives, is assisted to get in control and balanced.
• The Emotional body, the punch bag of the ”process of life” is treated with care, respect and understanding of the “causes” of its condition.
• This allows healing and personal spiritual growth.

Spinalcare

The spine is the nerve control centre of the body and needs regular stimulation to ensure the free flow of energy for good physiological functioning. Techniques are used to loosen and regularize vertebrae and nerves. It serves as preventative measure to GOOD HEALTH.

Major Benefits:

• A healthy spine maintains good posture
• Good posture enhances normal/optimum physiological body functioning
• Spinal degeneration can be prevented but is also reversible through treatment, spinal breathing and rehab exercise
• Nerve impingement caused by stress, injuries, etc, are released to relieve pain and allow the body to normalize itself

Reflectology

The touch of specific POINTS on the feet that reflect positive energy to the whole body – cells, organs, parts, regions, systems. Stagnated, fear related energy patterns change, that allows healing to take place.

Major Benefits:

• The practitioner uses this method to screen the body’s level of health
• To find, assess and treat possible weak areas
• To activate and stimulate the body’s self-heal mechanism

Pressure Points

Since emotions, old thoughts and memories become locked into the soft tissue of the body, this slow and sustained holding pressure along meridian lines, actively encourages conscious relaxation. This allows the physiological mechanisms governing muscle tension and well-ness, to release, stagnated energy. This aspect is deeply relaxing and yet invigorating, leaving a feeling of tranquility and a sense of being in touch with every part of one’s body.

Major Benefits:

• Loosens stagnated energy to open meridian lines (meridians – the rivers of health)
• A “Free flowing” energy system corrects its own imbalances, relieves tension, stiffness, aches and pains.
• It stimulates the circulatory, lymphatic and hormonal systems to relax and revitalize the whole body.

Massage

A variety of techniques and strokes of different intensity are used to release stress/tension and blockages/knots. Through lymph drainage, toxin waste that creates pain, is removed. This enhances energy flow and blood circulation, muscle tone, movement, relaxation, body awareness and self-care. Body/mind harmony/balance is restored.
Herbal oils with ancient wisdom and healing power are used.

Major Benefits:

• Regulates heart beat – stabilizes blood pressure
• Increase circulation
• Increases lymph flow – removes toxins and reduces water retention
• Relaxes the body
• Increases flexibility and relieves pain

• A self-help health exercise.
• Controls and relieves pain.
• Stimulates and regulates the heart-, cerebrospinal-fluid, pump systems.
