Holistic Services
The Healing Consciousness Foundation offers the following services:
Clinical Hypnotherapy
Hypnosis is a valuable tool for changing the unwanted habits and behaviors. Hypnosis works by guiding a person into a deeply relaxed state, in which the unconscious mind is most open to hearing positive suggestions and images. During this deep relaxation, you are in control at all times. Hypnosis is especially supportive for pain control, stress relief, surgical recovery and healing, reducing the side effects of chemotherapy, managing specific chronic illnesses, smoking cessation and weight management.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture therapy promotes health and alleviates pain and suffering. The perspective from which an acupuncturist views health and sickness hinges on concepts of "vital energy," "energetic balance" and "energetic imbalance." Just as the Western medical doctor monitors the blood flowing through blood vessels and the messages traveling via the nervous system, the acupuncturist assesses the flow and distribution of this "vital energy" within its pathways, known as "meridians and channels."
Cranio Scaral Therapy
Cranio Sacral therapy is non-invasive, gentle technique influences and restores the Cranio Sacral system. Like the cardiovascular and respiratory rhythms, the Cranio Sacral system influences many body functions. By applying gentle pressure to various postions on the skull and spine, the rhythm of the pulse normalizes and the postive effects can be quite pronounced. Excellent for stress, alleviating TMJ, chronic pain, headaches and whiplash.
Energy Therapy
Energy therapy is the gentle art of clearing cellular memory through the human energy field promoting health, balance, and relaxation. Energy therapy is based on the concept of connection between the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual realms of our lives found in many holistic healing methods.

The healing focus promotes personal empowerment, self-healing, and spiritual growth.

Yoga
Yoga is an ancient Indian body of knowledge that dates back more than 500 years. The word "Yoga" came from the Sanskrit word "yuj" which means "to unite or integrate." Yoga then is about the union of a person's own consciousness and the universal consciousness.
Ancient Yogis had a belief that in order for man to be in harmony with himself and his environment, he has to integrate the body, the mind, and the spirit. For these three to be integrated, emotion, action, and intelligence must be in balance. The Yogis formulated a way to achieve and maintain this balance and it is done through meditation,exercise and breath.
Breathing techniques were developed based on the concept that breath is the source of life. In Yoga, students gain breathing control as they slowly increase their breathing. By focusing on their breathing, they prepare their minds for the next step.
