Life Force Activation Qi Gong is about
building the body's energy pathways through a series of exercises which are designed to stimulate and energize health-giving action in the body's own system. Qi Gong is not limited to just a physical level of movement and exercise. It is a holistic path to self-discovery and reunion with the more subtle aspects of Universal Life Force - the 'Shen', or Spirit. ABOUT KADAMA |

|
Kadama (ClaudePaul Maraschin) is a practitioner and instructor in Qi Gong. His life has been a journey of healing and self-discovery as he has trained in martial arts with Masters in Australia, China and Thailand.
His emphasis as an instructor is on the practical aspects of the learning, rather than the theoretical, and he brings a calm state of awareness to his teachings and practice. He sees the beauty of these Qi Gong forms in how results flow naturally from their practice, as they are designed to do. As practising the forms clears and supports the natural energy flows in the body, more subtle understandings and overall well-being can flow more easily too. Kadama learned Yang Mian Kung Fu in Sydney for eight years, studying directly from Sifu Yang, He has also learned from: * the Masters of the Wandering Dao School in Yangshou, China; * the Tai Chi Wushu Academy in Wu Dan Shan; * He studied Zhineng Qi Gong in Beijing, with Sifu Zhao; * 12 Cycle Qi Gong with Sifu Zhen in Sydney; and * Daoist Alchemy with Mantak Chia in Thailand. |

WHAT is SIDDHA VAIDYA Massage? |
|
Siddha Vaidya is an ancient medical system originating in Southern India, based upon the use of herbal and herbal/mineral formulations. Treatments for conditions are prepared by skilled herbalists using time-honoured and proven formulas for use internally and externally.
SIDDHA VAIDYA - ELLA KIRRHI IS UNIQUE
The herbal oils used in the treatments are 100% natural, and are imported directly from India, having been prepared personally by a Siddha herbalist according to centuries old formulas held in custodianship by the Harichandran family of Siddha Vaidyas (practitioners/healers).
In my personal experience having undergone several Ella Kirrhi treatments and my observations as a massage therapist I have realised that a crucial factor in the efficacy of treating muscular tension and pain is the pliability and “receptivity” of muscle tissue.
The use of conventional massage relying as it does on the use of friction, heat lamps and trigger points, often does not heat and relax the muscle tissue sufficiently for the massage to be of long lasting benefit.
Ella Kirrhi is fundamentally unique since the use of deep penetrative heat together with the medicinal properties of the herbal oil bring about an enhanced state of relaxation at deeper levels.
The body is a whole system, and often pain in one part is the result of tension and stresses in seemingly unrelated areas, and it is therefore the aim of the treatment process to address not only specific areas of discomfort but to bring about an enhanced state of relaxation thus restoring balance and harmony.
The effects of thorough relaxation are:
* Reduced mental stress/ anxiety
* Better sleep
* Improved concentration
* Healthier immune system, and
* An overall sense of well being
