Hopi Ear Candling.

The journey to Bushey took me about two hours each way, but it is was firstly crazy getting through London during morning rush hour and then continue the travel in a almost empty carriage.
The air up there was pure and refreshing.

We were just four in the class which made it cosier and fun. Helen is a very talkative lady with a huge background as a practising therapist. She took us through history, benefits and tips of this curious and beneficial therapy. The second part, the one that involved the practice and observation of the technique was my favourite of course. After Helens' demo on each of us, we kept on practising on each other and observe the results of each go.

I got totally relaxed from this sense of warmth created by the candle and I loved the feeling of lightness not just of the ear and head, but the whole body. I also practiced on Helen herself -dear woman, she deserves some of this pampering too!- and her eyes were all shiny and watering when she stood up :) How lovely!!!

At the way back there was again a nearly empty carriage bringing me back to central London, while the rushed crowds were going up.

Looking forward to the pregnancy training this coming Saturday: however little Matteo couldn't wait till the 14th November and surprised mommy Bella yesterday morning and, from carrying him in my arms briefly today he really seems to be a sweet, little angel. Congratulations to the new mom & dad!

New Therapies

Autumn has started and the warmth of the duvet feels nice, specially early in the morning.
My friend Bella is expecting her first child, due to deliver next month. She is very happy of course, but she can't wait to hold the baby in her hands, rather than carrying her heavy tummy around.
Nevertheless my initial massage training included some pregnancy treatments I felt a bit hopeless in the attempt to ease pain/discomfort to Bella, so I have decided to do a further course to freshen up my skills and to get some useful tips to share with the moms to be that will visit me in the future.
Another training I have signed up for, to do this month, is the ear candling one, which is perfect to de-congest the respiratory tract during the colder months. The best part of the trainings of course is that I'll get to experience the treatments myself first...
Looking forward to the coming days ;)
