What makes the LIGAT Programme unique?

I consider myself to be a very grounded and caring individual because of the trauma I have suffered in the past. During my healing journey I didn’t have anyone to turn to for guidance or support. My healing from the past was achieved by working on myself through a variety of healing therapies, which I offer through the LIGAT PROGRAMME. The therapies are all centred on both physical and emotional health.

The LIGAT Programme involves a collection of healing therapies to assist you in leading a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

Working with the inner child is also woven into the Fabric of the LIGAT programme.

These range of therapies can include: Daily Affirmations, Law of Attraction, Energy Medicine and Frequencies, Mindfulness, Emotional Freedom Tapping, and a variety of hands on holistic therapies as seen below. The list is not conclusive and other tools will be used, which reflect your individuality.

Therapies on offer

As part of the LIGAT programme, we can offer a range of services and holistic therapies for your health and wellbeing.

1. Sound Bath Therapy
In the early 1980s, Peter Hess a German engineer became interested in ‘Radiesthesia’ (the science of vibrational fields in the human body) embarked on a life changing study on the effects of sound, on the mind and body of the people of Tibet and Nepal.

Working on the understanding that each person is created with a unique sound resulting in a different personality, he concluded that sound and vibration are the keys to health and harmony

According to Hess’ research, people in Nepal believe that ‘a man who vibrates harmoniously is healthy. If discordant sounds creep in, he loses his balance and falls ill. A sick man who listens to harmonious sounds will start to heal.

Sound therapy is designed to tune into the body’s vibrations, generating sounds that communicate with the cells throughout your body.

Whilst we are all aware of the role that music plays in our lives we may not be aware that everyday we are affected by sound, it could be the sound of birds, children laughing, singing along with the sound generated by heavy traffic, noisy machinery and loud music. All sounds as an effect on our health and wellbeing.

When using the singing bowls it helps the brain achieve vibrational waves, which promote self-healing and harmony.

The Treatment

Singing bowls are placed on or close to your dressed body and tapped gently with a felt mallet. Whereby, the gentle vibrations and sounds create an induced feeling of relaxation and well-being.
The vibrations could correct your balance and provide a feeling of inner strength, harmony and energy. If you are suffering and have a physical, mental or psychological problem, Sound Massage could provide you with relief from stress, anxiety and possibly pain.

This is achieved by

• Deep relaxation through soothing sounds rich in overtones.

This gives the Reflexologist the opportunity to release accumulated stress from the internal structure of the body, thereby restoring the natural energy flow essential for good health.
The treatment also includes a ten minute foot massage using aromatherapy oils, which further enhance the treatment

During times of disease and disharmony our vibrations may be lower than usual, so by carefully selecting a crystal that matches our own frequency in balance & harmony, we can gently raise that level of vibration back to its healthy and vibrant level
