Everyone is a Healer

The other day I was doing our local headland walk and as I passed the playground, a three year old took a fall off his bike and grazed his knee. His dad came over to comfort him and put his hand on his knee. It was lovely to see how quickly the child turned from tears to smiles. You might also remember the comforting touch of your mum or dad when you took a fall as a kid. A parent’s touch actually helps injuries improve faster because of the healing energy that is naturally sent from the hands.

How does laser tattoo removal work?

Let’s first understand how tattoos work. The tattoo pigment is placed in the Dermis. This is the deeper layers of the skin, and the ink particles cannot be absorbed by the body here. This makes the ink permanent. Tattoo laser removal works by directing the laser light onto the tattoo. The laser light is set at wavelengths depending on the ink colour. Black ink is the easiest to remove or fade. Reds, blues, and greens can take a little longer. The tattoo ink absorbs the laser light, and the ink particles are shattered into tiny little particles.

Awesome Scar Tissue Release Session

22-12-2019 by Trevor Thomas

When I was eight years old in 1984 I had an accident where my left hand smashed through a glass panelled door. The deep jaggered cut was some eight centimeters long and I lost all feeling in my left thumb. It remained this way for about six and a half years when the intense feeling of pins and needles started. Over the next six months, full feeling in the left thumb returned. Seven years later a large piece of glass protruded from the scar and was easily removed. Since the accident, I have not been able to touch the scar until 2019 when Tricia from Country Harmony spent fifteen minutes of Scar Tissue Release on it. I find it hard to believe that with one treatment, that scar under my left thumb can be touched, rubbed, and treated just like my uninjured right hand. After the follow-up treatment, I now have full movement of the thumb and the colour and appearance of the scar is so less noticeable. Whatever trauma I have been carrying to the hand for all those decades has completely gone and it only took two short sessions to achieve. Thanks Tricia, I am very grateful.
