Egyptian healing rod therapy

For 3,000 years, statues of the Pharaohs depicted the healing rods by holding them in their hands. High priests and pharaohs were the only ones allowed to touch and use what you now know as healing devices. When the dynasties ended, the knowledge, the purpose, and use of the rods was known only to a few secret mystical societies who kept their existence hidden, until a European Russian scientist rediscovered them in a museum about 45 years ago. He was allowed to copy them in strict accordance to the original specifications. By holding the Egyptian healing rods for approximately 15 to 20 minutes, the Copper rod in your right hand (sun energy) and the Zinc rod in your left hand (moon energy), they may help with reducing stress, fatigue, improve vitality, balance the meridians, deepen meditation and expand physical abilities. Rods Quartz, Rods Kont, Rods Crystal, Rods Star, Rods Connectivity, Rods Consciousness and the latest new rods, the Amber Rods are all available for sessions here at Song of the River Sanctuary, a wonderful compliment to any other therapies and meditation practices.

Pyramid healing session

The pyramidal shape acts as a beacon, a transceiver for energy. The geometric structure amplifies the energy creating a vortex within the pyramid. This is where the energy will be utilised and directed. Structure and materials of pyramids can be made of many types of materials example cardboard, copper, stone, and can have a different number of sides example 3, 4, 6. Using good energy conductors, such as copper, seems to help the energy flow. They do not need to have a solid structure.This design is based on an Octahedron which is made up of two four sided pyramids, one inverted and placed beneath the other. The top section relates to the male aspects and the bottom section to the female aspects. When someone enters the pyramid it constantly tries to keep its own energy field in balance and in doing so, can sometimes help to balance and release blockages in their subtle energy fields (auras and chakras).

The retreat will take place in Wrexham, Wales, UK at Song of the River Retreat Sanctuary. For those looking for some. The retreat is based in a beautiful private and secluded countryside setting on the River Clywedog nature trail. A quiet tranquil place which offers stunning views and country walks.
