It is interesting that before the release of trauma from the body virtually no therapy really works. If there has been injury to the body obviously it is the physician that must attend to you. The next step should be to talk to a trauma specialized psychotherapist to get some perspective and balance to the mind from the trauma experience. It is at this juncture that PTSD really starts to ‘kick in’ and since no trauma release is gained from a physician or a talk specialist, a survivor is forced to look at other possibilities.
The third step must be the release of trauma from the body. This is what TTH does. Once all the trauma has been carefully released, the body often still needs care for various problems. This is where it is best to get educated on all the natural alternative healers to assist you. It is a fact that until trauma has been released from the body practically no alternative healing methods really help or ‘stick’. It is also a fact, however, that once someone is trauma-free, there are so many amazing natural healers that can successfully assist you, and you will now find that suddenly their work has a positive, powerful healing effect, whereas before trauma releasing – it didn’t.

Energetic Healing is the conscious and skilled use of therapeutic modalities to benefit a person on subtle and emotional levels, as well as in their general and physical well-being. Trauma, emotional and mental stress, false belief systems, physical distress, environment stress, and other blocks to personal growth can be stored in the energy fields of our bodies, impacting our ability to function at our full potential.
Energetic healing facilitates the healing process by clearing blocks in the energy fields, repairing and rebalancing the energy so that the body can move to its optimal level of balance from where it is able to access its inherent ability to heal itself. It opens our consciousness to the areas we need to work through and heal in order to bring our lives into balance to maintain health, harmony and vitality.
Crystal therapy is based on the premise that crystals can, in a sense, communicate with the energies flowing around the human body. On a microscopic level a crystal is a network of repeating geometric patterns made up of compressed ions, atoms and molecules.

The charges, or ‘healing vibrations, are supposed to interact with the body’s energy cents to remove ‘blockages’ and restore a healthy flow through the body, mind, and spirit.
Long before history and the written word, music and healing have been inseparable in the natural and alternative medicine healing arts. Natural healers are aware that with the introduction of the healing energy of sound, energy healing is catalyzed to potentate their healing abilities, and the miraculous touch of their healing hands. Sound healing is increasingly embraced as the oldest, most gentle and most profound method of healing there is.
Creation stories around the world identify sound as the creative force by which the Divine Source manifested first light, and then the material reality. Therefore, it follows: that which created all that is, can also transform all that is. The unique, deeply relaxing (and therefore healing) benefits of harmonic overtones, induce the rare state of Theta brain wave activity while still conscious. There are continuous reports of the work providing relief and cessation of acute and chronic mental, emotional and physical issues including stress, insomnia, ability to concentrate, various immune system issues, emotional disorders and much more.
Meditation is a state of deep, tranquil, conscious awareness that is present when the mind is serene and quiet, yet entirely alert and focused. The objective of meditation is to slow the pace, and with practice meditation will systematically eliminate the relentless busyness of our minds.
We live in a society that is afraid of silence. The mind is always compulsively churning and whenever we have to deal with a few moments of silence, we feel awkward and feel the need to fill the silence with something… so we are continually overloaded with stimuli by means of radio, television, computer games, shopping malls, mobile phones, laptops, and the web. Not being in touch with our thoughts leads to problems. In our modern culture, dealing with our thoughts, insights, and feelings is not comfortable, and triggers many problems such as restlessness or boredom every time something is not going on. The outcome is stress, fear, anxiety, depression, nervousness, and discontentment.
Meditation is a solution to becoming aware of our compulsive thoughts and chattering mind by spending a short time each day enjoying the silence and peacefulness. Benefits: Meditation works to balance your left and right brain hemispheres (whole brain synchronization). This, in turn, provides you with more creativity, deeper faster learning, better memory/focus, great sleep, more happiness, higher IQ, less stress, and more success. Meditation has also been proven to naturally boost our immune systems and many of our body’s chemicals such as DHEA, GABA, Endorphins, Serotonin, Melatonin, Growth Hormone as well as lowering Cortisol. It also brings calm and balance back into our lives from the modern day chaos.
