ACCESS BARS
An Access Bars healing session invites you to relax in a reclining position as your facilitator 'runs the bars' by touching and stimulating 32 points on the head.
The modality explains that 32 bars of energy run through and around the head (diagram above).
One is in a state of health when energy flows freely in the bars. When energy stagnates in the bars because of stored ideas, attitudes, decisions and beliefs, one is incapable of generating or creating in the area of life governed by the respective bar. By triggering these bars, the fixed energy is dissipated and allowed to flow, relieving tension and enhancing joy and health.

When in Singapore, inquire with Hamidah Hashim, who is a certified Access Consciousness Facilitator and a hypnotherapist too! Visit her website at Access Unlimited Asia, www.accessunlimitedasia.com
Crystal bowl sound bath
Part-vocal, part-instrumental, a crystal sound bath is as much a performance as a healing session. The clean high frequencies emitted from pure quartz bowls fused with various minerals, accompanied by chants and songs of the practitioner, keeps one very present yet transports one to a far off place. Immersed in clarity, one returns to reality unusually refreshed and revitalised, whole.

WAYANg tarot
Wayang Kulit, is a type of puppet shadow play performed around the Indomalayan archipelago, tracing its origins to India. It is derived from a Javanese Hindu-Buddhist tradition, where hand-crafted leather puppets depict epic stories of the gods in shadow play. A traditional Gamelan orchestra would accompany the story-telling.

The world of tarot is infinitely fascinating with its combination of psychology, art and spirituality. Evolve Asia discovered a unique tarot deck with strong Asian cultural correspondences in Indonesia recently.
Wayang tarot (sample cards below) brings a new dimension, twist and interpretation to the tarot by incorporating hindu-buddhist archetypes into the major and minor arcana. The cards have been around since 2002 and were developed by the female tarot grandmaster, Ani Sekarningsih, based in Indonesia. .
Ekky Sugganda, one of the few readers of these rare cards, is a medium, spiritual consultant, hypnotherapist and yoga practitioner based in Bali. A session with Ekky is Balinese medicine man, psychic and medium all rolled into one. Every session is a ritual in Indonesian mysticism and magic and Ekky generously shares what his spirit guides have to tell you beyond the card readings. Lovers of tarot and laymen alike will be equally mystified by transcendant experience.

zenthai shiatsu
What is Zenthai Shiatsu ?
Zenthai draws from the respected healing traditions of Zen Shiatsu and Traditional Thai Massage whilst using proven Osteopathic techniques. It was founded by Australian Gwyn Williams (More about Gwyn here on Evolve Spotlight in June) in 2002.
Zen is a form of Buddhism that had its origins in Japan. Shiatsu is a Japanese massage using finger pressure. Together, Zen Shiatsu refers to a particular style of shiatsu that is popular in the West. It was founded by Shizuto Masunaga over 100 years ago. Shizuto integrated elements of shiatsu, Western psychology and Chinese medicine to create Zen Shiatsu therapy. It is said to enhance the inherent healing powers of the physical body, so that the patient is relieved of the symptoms of disease and will regain his energy levels.
TTM (Traditional Thai Massage) draws its roots from India in the time of the Buddha (776 BC) and is an extension of the ancient practice of Ayurveda. TTM involves stretching and aligning of the energetic and structural body.
Zenthai Shiatsu emphasizes mindful touch in the systematic shiatsu based diagnosis of the body . It then uses thai techniques to fluidly return the body to its healthy state of freedom.
