Different Options For Healing Courses

By Mary Roberts


Over the past several years there has been a significant increase in the number and types of healing courses that can be found wherever you go. Those who wish to learn some techniques to help themselves and others have many more choices than before. While there's an almost limitless number to choose from, let's take a look at a sampling of some of the more popular and interesting ones.

Reiki is one of the more widely available types of courses out there. This practice originated in Japan and involves the passing of "ki" or "life force energy" through one person to another. The person administering the treatment simply places his or her hands on the other and allows the energy to flow.

A somewhat similar technique is known as pranic healing. Prana is the Indian equivalent of the Japanese term ki. In this type of therapy, the practitioner manipulates the energy field of the person who is receiving the treatment in order to improve the flow of this energy and facilitate the healing process. Like Reiki, this does not involve physical manipulation of the body's tissues; it works on the energetic level.

An increasingly popular alternative that does involve applying pressure to the body is reflexology. It is based on the premise that stimulating certain "reflex zones" in the hands and feet will encourage healing in a corresponding part of the body. The pressure is given with one's hand or a small instrument.

When you think of healing, yoga may not spring to mind. However, this ancient practice has long been shown to provide immense health benefits to those who undergo training. There are so many different types of yoga that have been developed that it's almost impossible not to find one that would be suitable for you. It can be a bit on the expensive side, but can also be a boon to your health.

For those who prefer something a bit more low key, a meditation course could be a viable option. While not as physically demanding as yoga, sitting motionless for an hour or more can still be quite challenging. But, like with yoga, the benefits are numerous and the number of people who have helped themselves immensely with this practice is considerable. There's an enormous range of techniques and prices, which means that a meditation course can be found to suit just about anyone's temperament and budget.

If you're intrigued by the mental aspect, you may wish to look into hypnotherapy. Perhaps surprisingly, you don't have to be a psychologist to do this. In fact, you don't need any psychological background at all. In as little as a few months you can learn to do basic hypnotherapy and begin assisting others on their journey to health.

All of the types mentioned above come in a wide variety of styles, techniques, lengths and costs. Some can be very expensive, while others can be taken for little or even no cost. What they have in common is that they can help you to develop valuable skills that allow you to help yourself and others. Whether you choose one of these healing courses or something completely different, you may find anything from an interesting few days to a life-altering experience.
