Aromatherapy and Pain Management

Advanced Aromatherapy Workshop      Suitable for: training or qualified Aromatherapists

With Ann Leach (Chair of International Federation of Professional Aromatherapists)

Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire

Investment: £40   Please see Booking CPD Points: 4

The past two decades have seen huge advances in managing pain for patients in the techniques and the understanding of patients’ pain. This involves a number of health professionals, both specialist and non- specialist providers.  But still patients have unrelieved pain affecting their lives and those around them. Our experience and knowledge bases have shown that Aromatherapy can offer a significant way forward as complementary or alternative forms of pain relief for a large number of people.

The workshop includes:

  • A review of the concept of pain, the pain experience and where pain arises from.
  • An exploration of the pain cycle and the role Aromatherapists can provide.
  • An identification of the Essential oils and their properties which may help in certain types of painful conditions.
  • A discussion of the challenges for the Aromatherapist in managing and relieving pain.

Sound Healing Workshops

When we are well, our cells are vibrating optimally in our bodies.  When we are sick, however, our bodies literally go out of tune resulting in sickness manifesting either physically, emotionally, mentally or spiritually.  Sound healing aims to bring our bodies back into harmony so that our cells are vibrating at an optimal level resulting in an experience of well being and good health.

It is a time to receive, rest, heal and allow the sacred sounds of the gong, monochord table, sruti box, kotomo, crystal and Tibetan bowls and voice to go to the depths of our being, opening our hearts, bringing peace and deep relaxation.
In this workshop no experience is needed in sound healing, just a willingness to receive and share the bliss that sound healing brings.

Feedback from Participants:

“I just wanted to email you and thank you for a beautiful day and for sharing your wonderful gift, it has helped me to heal on many different levels. You teach with such honesty, which is a rare find in our times. So many bottled emotions came out.  Thank you for creating a safe space for me to release it.”

“I just wanted to say a huge thank you for a beautiful day on Saturday.  It was a very special time.  I tried to explain to a couple of friends saying it was like people who have died and come back to tell the tale.  They reach a beautiful space and don’t want to leave it.  Well Ilyana, the day did touch heaven and was very special.”

“What a weekend!  Daily gong baths, deep, deep meditation, Tibetan bowls, monochord, crystal bowls, dancing, singing, old Japanese bamboo flute, guitar, sounds of nature and silence….such profound silence. I feel great, absolutely great.  Haven’t really stopped smiling on the outside and singing like a goodun on the inside! Like everyone else, I discovered fragility and vulnerability. An intense time for everyone, but no escape from all the different sounds and incredible vibrations.  Immediately a safe space, so honest and sharing not a problem for anybody.  The group became so close in such a short time, and we learnt to sing to each other with no embarrassment.  You have to hear the mystical magical sound of a beautiful voice singing through the gong and crystal bowls, or maybe it was the other way around.  All became so profoundly intertwined that there is no way anyone could avoid being touched deeper than they could possibly imagine.  We ended with a name bath.  I have never heard my name sound so beautiful as this sung by ten very lovely beings.  I felt as if I was being called and caressed by angels.  Another coming home time for me.”

“Ilyana is a gifted sound healer and retreat leader.  I appreciate her intuitive sense of natural flow and spontaneity.  The 3 day retreat, sound and silence was pure joy!  The whole time I felt nurtured, loved, supported and most of the time blissed out!  The sound goes deep and the (space) is a wonderful, supportive space to surrender and drop into this.  On a physical level I can report that a knee injury that I sustained 5 months ago is markedly improved…thank you!! On a spiritual level I feel that I have fed myself the most delicious nourishing spiritual food! ”

Kundalini Yoga

Kundalini Yoga brings all aspects of human evolution together in a complete technology.  Originally kept secret and only practiced by privileged Yogis, the secrecy was then broken and Kundalini Yoga was brought to the West by Yogi Bhajan.  It was realized that in the west we needed a holistic and scientific system to help us cope with the changes, the challenges, information overload, the stresses and illnesses that are emerging as we go through a massive shift in our consciousness.

Kundalini Yoga brings us into awareness through our own disciplined practice and experience.  It shines light on the patterns of our ego to help them dissolve and raise our dormant energy, so that our minds, bodies, emotions and soul come into alignment, so that we live the potential of who we are.

Kundanlini Yoga uses a combination of dynamic postures, classical asanas, pranayama, mantras, mudras, meditation and a deep relaxation.  A Kundalini Yoga class varies in the degree of physical and mental stamina required.  It ranges from light stretches, breath work, different kriyas, which have specific sequences and effects and also has powerful workouts.  Yoga is not competitive.  Where ever you are with your physical health and fitness, whatever age or level of experience you have, whatever belief system you follow, you can always benefit from Kundalini Yoga at the level that works for you.

Kundalini Yoga brings results quickly with committed practice.  It strengthens our immune, glandular and nervous system, it increases our endurance, vitality and stamina, it clears out old patterns that are limiting, it balances our mind and emotions, it brings us wisdom, intuition, guidance, protection and ultimately brings us into union with the depth of who we are.

N.B:  Please tell Ilyana if you have any pre-existing health concerns or if you are pregnant.  If you are seeking help for a medical condition and you are not sure if yoga is suitable for you, please consult your medical practitioner.  Please make sure you practice Kundalini Yoga on an empty stomach.  Please also note that Kundalini Yoga is contraindicated for anyone under the influence of non medicinal drugs and alcohol.
