2010-03-04T21:37:56+07:00

Kundalini yoga is sometimes called "the yoga of awareness" because it awakens the "kundalini" which is the unlimited potential that already exists within every human being.

Kundalini yoga is truly life-changing. It is:
* for people who have to cope with the daily challenges and stresses of holding jobs, raising families, and managing businesses.
* It gives results in the shortest possible time.
* Kundalini Yoga is designed to give you "hands on" experience of your highest consciousness.
* It teaches a method by which you can achieve the sacred purpose of your life.
* The practice of Kundalini Yoga balances the glandular system,strengthens the nervous system and enables us to harness the energy of the mind and the emotions, so we can be in control of ourselves, rather than being controlled by our thoughts and feelings.

Mind, Body & Soul Healing with Preeti (Kamalaya Koh Samui, Thailand)

2010-01-27T10:44:54+07:00

http://www.kamalaya.com/healing-thailand.htm

Energy healer Preeti offers a complimentary introduction of her philosophies and methods on March 28, 2010 at 6.30 pm in the Alchemy Lounge � all are welcome!

Since the 1970s, Preeti has been helping others to discover the secrets their bodies store about past physical, mental and emotional traumas.

�When I meet a person, I immediately have an intuitive feeling of what he or she needs,� she says.

Guided by this intuition and assisted by the use of crystals, music, and the energy of her hands, Preeti unlocks and clears the information, �removing the past�. This helps to free clients from damaging behavior patterns and habits that stem from circumstances that often no longer even exist.

During some sessions, Preeti receives visions from a person�s past, and will help him or her to solve problems associated with those visions if they so desire. Preeti is also an expert with esthetic massage for women � in her hands, bodies change!

Preeti, which translates as �the one who gives love�, was born as Paola Garbaccio in Italy, and grew up watching her father and an aunt as they healed others using a pendulum and the energy of their hands. At the age of 18 she discovered her own gifts, and felt called to use them to help others.

Since then Preeti has worked continuously to help others with her abilities, despite a number of hardships and obstacles in her own life. These, she says, gave her the ability to develop an approach all her own � one that has brought her a great deal of respect in her native Italy, where she is a renowned force in the energy healing world.

Buteyko Breath Reconditioning with Jac Vidgen (Kamalaya Koh Samui, Thailand)

2010-01-27T10:43:16+07:00

http://www.kamalaya.com/buteyko-breath-reconditioning.htm

Retrain your breathing with for better health, sounder sleep and an improved sense of wellbeing with Senior Buteyko Practitioner Jac Vidgen.

The Buteyko breath reconditioning technique was developed by the late Ukrainian doctor Konstantin Pavlovich Buteyko, who first formulated its principles during the 1960s. At the technique�s core is a series of breathing exercises that focus on nasal-breathing, breath-holding and relaxation.
|
Buteyko based his technique on the premise that asthmatics "chronically overbreathe". The exercises are designed to teach asthmatics to breathe less, with the goal of retraining breathing to a normal pattern, akin to certain forms of Yoga.

While the Buteyko technique is of particular help with asthma, and has been reported to reduce by 90% the asthma sufferer�s use of inhalers, it also brings improvement to many other conditions and ailments - especially anxiety, stress, sleep disorders (excellent results with snoring and sleep apnea), allergies, immune and hormone disfunction, hypertension, weight control etc. Some come to just gain a very potent and practical tool to improve sports performance and/or general well-being. For more information, please visit www.buteykoasia.com

Jac Vidgen has been working with Buteyko's method since 1993. He was trained by a leading protege of Dr. Buteyko�s, Alexander Stalmatski, who wrote "Freedom from Asthma" and was featured in the BBC TV documentary about the method.

Jac introduced Buteyko breath reconditioning technique to Asia, and now works regularly around the region - particularly in Hong Kong, the Philippines and Thailand. His work has been featured on CNN and on Star World's Focus Asia.

Non-Invasive Thyroid Function Assessment with Dr. Daryl Turner (Kamalaya Koh Samui)

2009-09-25T10:24:42+07:00

Are you often tired or worn down? Do you have trouble sleeping? Do you have problems with your weight, or do you feel cold all the time? Do you have dry skin, or occasionally have trouble remembering things?

If the answer is 'yes' to any of the above, you may have low metabolic energy. While these symptoms may seem like minor nuisances you can live with, they actually indicate an under-active metabolism. The best way to eliminate them, restoring both your metabolic balance and energy, is to diagnose and correct the underlying problem.

The most common cause of low metabolism and decreased metabolic energy is poor thyroid and/or adrenal function. Restoring metabolic energy helps the body heal and balance itself, allowing the self-repair mechanisms to function well again and restore health.

Since 2000, Dr. Turner has primarily researched non-invasive medical testing devices for the human body. This research culminated in the development with a colleague of non-invasive devices for testing thyroid, adrenal, iodine and heart function, as well as screening methods for dysfunction, imbalance, infections and sensitivities.

Now, for the first time in Asia, and exclusively at Kamalaya, Dr. Turner is offering the non-invasive thyroid function test to diagnose sub-clinical under active thyroid conditions. While standard blood tests for thyroid function may have a margin of error as high as 40%, Dr. Turner�s simple and effective test has been shown to be 98% accurate.
