Meditation:  Meditation can be defined as a practice where an individual focuses their mind on a particular object, thought or activity to achieve a mentally clear and emotionally calm state. Meditation may be used to reduce stress, anxiety, depression, and pain.It may be done while sitting, repeating a mantra and closing the eyes in a quiet environment.

Meditation has been practiced since antiquity in numerous religious traditions and beliefs. Since the 19th century, it has spread from its Asian origins to Western cultures where it is commonly practiced in private and business life. Meditation is proved scientifically under psychological, neurological, and cardiovascular research with its possible positive health effects.

Megavitamin Therapy: Megavitamin therapy, also known as megadose vitamin therapy or orthomolecular therapy, involves taking vitamins in doses that exceed the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) in an effort to cure or prevent physical or mental disorders. The RDA refers to the recommended nutritional intake levels that have been established by the Food and Nutrition Board. Megavitamin therapy involves taking doses of vitamins that are up to 10 times greater than the RDA or up to five times greater with vitamin D. (Vitamin D is especially likely to have toxic effects when taken in high doses.) Megavitamin therapy dates back to the early 1930s when psychiatrists began prescribing excessive doses of supplemental nutrients to treat severe mental problems. Vitamin B3 was the original substance used to treat conditions such as schizophrenia. Years later other vitamins, minerals, and hormones were added to treatments. In the 1950s, Biochemist Linus Pauling coined the term, “orthomolecular,” which he defined as: “the preservation of good health and the treatment of disease by varying the concentration in the human body of substances that are normally present in the body.”

Metabolic  Therapy:

Metabolic therapy tries to remove harmful substances from the body (toxins) and strengthen the body’s resistance to illness. It uses a combination of special diets, enzymes, nutritional supplements and other practices.

In the UK the best known metabolic therapies are Gerson therapy and macrobiotic diets. But there are many other types, including:

• Kelley’s treatment
• Gonzalez treatment
• Issels whole body therapy
• Contreras metabolic therapy
• injecting live cells from animals (cell therapy)

Metamorphic technique: Gaston Saint-Pierre founded the Metamorphic Technique in the late 1970’s. In the practice of the Metamorphic Technique the practitioner uses a light touch on the feet, hands and head. Metamorphic Technique practitioners do not impose their will or seek to direct the recipient’s life force in any way. An environment can then emerge in which the power and intelligence, that are already inherent in the life of the person, will be the best guiding factor for the unique life that the person already is. Some people may wish to talk, whilst others prefer to be quiet. There is no need for practitioners to know about your personal or medical history. The Technique is gentle, is easy to learn and, since no special ability or background is needed, it is accessible to everyone. (The Metamorphic Technique was sourced from Robert St. John’s work Metamorphosis formally Prenatal Therapy)

Moxibustion: Moxibustion is a kind of external treatment; it is based on the theory of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), and it usually bakes acupoints with burning moxa wool. Moxibustion can dredge meridians and regulate qi-blood and has been used to prevent and cure diseases for more than 2500 years. Zuo zhuan of the pre-Qin dynasty in China, which recorded a disease discussion occurred in 581 B.C., is considered to be the earliest literature of moxibustion. The silk books discovered in Mawangdui tomb of the Han dynasty (about 168 B.C.), Moxibustion Classic of Eleven Foot hand  Meridians and Prescriptions for Fifty-two Diseases, had documented the use of moxibustion to treat complex diseases. There are a lot of moxibustion contents in Inner Canon of Huangdi; it inferred that the origin of moxibustion is related to the living habits and disease characteristics of northern Alpine nation in the part of Su wen, Yi fa fang yi lun. Later doctors after Han dynasty had made considerable progress in theory and practice on moxibustion and promoted moxibustion to be a mature and widely used therapy.

Music Therapy:  Music Therapy is the clinical and evidence-based use of music interventions to accomplish individualized goals within a therapeutic relationship by a credentialed professional who has completed an approved music therapy program.

Music Therapy is an established health profession in which music is used within a therapeutic relationship to address physical, emotional, cognitive, and social needs of individuals. After assessing the strengths and needs of each client, the qualified music therapist provides the indicated treatment including creating, singing, moving to, and/or listening to music. Through musical involvement in the therapeutic context, clients’ abilities are strengthened and transferred to other areas of their lives. Music therapy also provides avenues for communication that can be helpful to those who find it difficult to express themselves in words. Research in music therapy supports its effectiveness in many areas such as: overall physical rehabilitation and facilitating movement, increasing people’s motivation to become engaged in their treatment, providing emotional support for clients and their families, and providing an outlet for expression of feelings.

Myotherapy :  Myotherapy (particularly Bonnie Prudden myotherapy) is a form of manual therapy which focuses on the assessment, treatment and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal pain and associated pathologies.

Naturopathic medicine: Naturopathic medicine is a distinct primary health care profession, emphasizing prevention, treatment, and optimal. health through the use of therapeutic methods and substances that encourage individuals’ inherent self-healing. process.

Naturotherapy:  Naturopathy or naturopathic medicine is a form of alternative medicine that employs an array of pseudoscientific practices branded as “natural”, “non-invasive”, and as promoting “self-healing”. The ideology and methods of naturopathy are based on vitalism and folk medicine, rather than evidence-based medicine.

Neurofeedback: Neurofeedback is also called EEG Biofeedback, because it is based on electrical brain activity, the electroencephalogram, or EEG. Neurofeedback is training in self-regulation. It is simply biofeedback applied to the brain directly. Self-regulation is a necessary part of good brain function.

Occupational therapy: Occupational therapy (OT) is the use of assessment and intervention to develop, recover, or maintain the meaningful activities, or occupations, of individuals, groups, or communities. It is an allied health profession performed by occupational therapists.

Ortho bionomy:  Ortho-Bionomy is a gentle, non-invasive, osteopathically-based form of body therapy which is highly effective in working with chronic stress, injuries and pains or problems associated with postural and structural imbalances.                            The ortho bionomy practitioner uses gentle movements and positions of the body to facilitate the change of stress and pain patterns that the client is holding.

Orthomolecular psychiatry:  

The origins of orthomolecular psychiatry are traced back to 1927, when Paul J. Reiter used manganese as a treatment for schizophrenia. In one of his first studies, Reiter found that 23 of his 50 schizophrenic patients improved after injections of the nutrient.

Although many health practitioners experimented with nutrients and psychiatry in the interim, the term “orthomolecular psychiatry” was first used by Linus Pauling in an article published in the journal Science in 1968. In his paper, Pauling, who won two Nobel prizes, discussed the treatment of psychiatric conditions with substances that naturally occur in the body, such as such as vitamins, minerals, enzymes, trace elements, and co-enzymes.

In the practice of orthomolecular psychiatry, high amounts of vitamins are sometimes used, not to correct a deficiency, but to alter the body’s biochemical environment. Additionally, dietary manipulation, calorie restriction and fasting are sometimes utilized.

Osteopathy:  Osteopathy is a type of alternative medicine that emphasizes manual readjustments, myofascial release and other physical manipulation of muscle tissue and bones. Practitioners of osteopathy are referred to as osteopaths.

Ozone Therapy: Ozone therapy refers to the process of administering ozone gas into your body to treat a disease or wound. Ozone is a colorless gas made up of three atoms of oxygen (O₃). It can be used to treat medical conditions by stimulating the immune system. It can also be used to disinfect and treat disease.

Pilates therapy:  

The Pilates method was developed by German, Joseph Pilates, in the early 1920’s while in Lancaster, England.

Joe developed his method of movement over 20 years of self study and apprenticeships, taking inspiration from yoga, Zen, and ancient Greko-Roman physical regimens.  The Pilates method is practiced on a mat and various apparatus Joe invented.

He used his method of movement, then called Contrology (meaning “the science of control”) to help rehabilitate soldiers from injury during World War I.

Pilates has proven itself valuable not only as a fitness workout, but also as an important compliment to professional sports training and physical therapy.

Polarity therapy : Polarity Therapy is a system of treatment used in alternative medicine, intended to restore a balanced distribution of the body’s energy by combining touch, exercise, nutrition and self-awareness.This unique form of energy healing enables you to look at what you’re carrying as pain, stress and disease. It provides an opportunity to access and unwind the origins that create physical, mental and emotional symptoms. In addition to working with your body, you are supported with verbal communication and reflective listening.

Polyamory and sexual healing: Virtually everyone who has been raised in a sex negative culture such as ours is sexually wounded. For some, this wounding is simply a matter of barely conscious sexual guilt, shame, and inhibition. It manifests in subtle—or sometimes not so subtle—discomfort about social nudity, public displays of affection, or erotic art. It manifests in an inability to freely enjoy sexual pleasure, in ejaculating too soon (for men) or not at all (for women), or in difficulty reaching orgasm. It manifests as a lack of sexual confidence, an inability to truly let go sexually, or an obsession with sexual privacy.

In addition to this general malaise, many of us have experienced personal traumas as well: one out of three or four girls and one out of seven or eight boys in our society are sexually molested as children. Rape, abortion, insensitive medical exams, circumcision, unskilled or uncaring lovers, and guilt over masturbation also take their toll.

Without the deep emotional clearing and releasing of genital armouring which the sexual healing work offers, polyamorous relating must often be kept superficial or else degenerate into melodrama. Sexual healing harnesses the enormous power of our sexual energy and channels it for transformation. It paves the way for tantric or sacred sexual practices and is wonderful for opening the heart and getting the creative juices flowing. But without a polyamorous framework and understanding of new paradigm relating, erotic ritual can open a Pandora’s box. Together, these three components combine to create a synergistic whole.

Prayer therapy:

Prayers are interactive positive vibrational thoughts send to the Universe,a communication with the cosmos for wellbeing, positivity or any desires and intentions.The universe responds to each and every thought you generate while you pray.A prayer is like placing a specific order with deepest subconscious in and the cosmos provides what has been asked for in return.

Prayer therapy is using specific prayers for specific purpose of healing. It is the use of  the power of words and intentions to heal.

Primal therapy: Primal therapy is a trauma-based psychotherapy created by Arthur Janov, who argues that neurosis is caused by the repressed pain of childhood trauma. Janov argues that repressed pain can be sequentially brought to conscious awareness and resolved through re-experiencing specific incidents and fully expressing the resulting pain during therapy. In therapy, the patient recalls and reenacts a particularly disturbing past experience usually occurring early in life and expresses normally repressed anger or frustration especially through spontaneous and unrestrained screams, hysteria, or violence.

Janov states that neurosis is the result of suppressed pain, which is the result of trauma, usually trauma of childhood origin. According to Janov, the only way to reverse neurosis is for the neurotic to recall their trauma in a therapeutic setting. Janov contends that the neurotic can thereby re-experience their feelings in response to the original traumatic incidents but can now express the emotions that at that time were repressed, thereby resolving the trauma.

Psionics: Psionics is the study of paranormal phenomena in relation to the application of electronics. The term comes from psi (‘psyche’) and the –onics from electronics (machine).It is closely related to the field of radionics. There is no scientific evidence that psionic abilities exist.

Pyramidology: The concept of pyramidology is said to have originated from many parts of  the world but Egypt is on the top when it comes to talking about the subject indepth and the mystery surrounding it. Pyramid has a special property to deflect any type of cosmic radiations that fall on its apex downwards through its base line at the bottom where this deflected cosmic radiation, with the help of magnetic field of Earth’s gravitational force, create a new and powerful bio-energy field.

Secondly as pyramid deflects all radiations that fall on its apex through its bottom from all of its four sides, the inner center of the pyramid remains unaffected and safe, and surrounded by a powerful bio-energy field on all sides, which helps to preserve the things and objects kept in the pyramid for a long time.

Pyramids have a strong ionisation effect within the body. Negative ions enhance the oxygen intake of the human body and through that, strengthen well-being. Meditating under pyramid or just taking a nap under a pyramid helps to synchronise the seven chakras of the body.

Pulse Diagnosis: The pulse is measured in both Western medicine and Chinese medicine, but there are key differences.  In Western medicine, we typically measure the heart rate, which is taken with blood pressure as part of a standard physical exam. In Chinese medicine, pulse diagnosis is a significantly more developed art form, a tool that practitioners use to assess the health of all the major organ systems of the body. In a sense, pulse diagnosis is like the “MRI” of traditional medical systems. Before modern imaging techniques, healthcare practitioners needed ways of evaluating what was happening inside the bodies of their patients. Although technology has developed significantly over time, pulse diagnosis remains a very helpful tool in assessment and diagnosis.

Radionics: Radionics is a healing technique in which our natural intuitive faculties are used both to discover the energetic disturbances underlying illness and to encourage the return of a normal energetic field that supports health. It is independent of the distance between practitioner and patient. Radionics can be used to help humans and animals and in agriculture by means of radionic instruments which amplify and ‘broadcast’ the healing signal to the subtle energy field of the patient.

This operates just like in Quantum Physics, Interconnectedness, Entanglement or “Action at a Distance”.  Effectiveness is independent of the distance between practitioner and patient. Distance is not a limitation: the patient can be with the practitioner, can be connected to a machine, or can be many miles away if it used in ‘broadcast’ mode..

Basic to radionic practice is a disciplined dowsing, or radiesthetic skill. Experience has shown that in trained hands radionic treatment can be helpful in a wide range of conditions because radionics balances the subtle fields of the body. Radionics like homeopathy balances the person not the disease.
