Reiki
Reiki is a form of hands-on healing. The word Reiki means universal life force energy. It is unconditional love. Reiki was rediscovered in Japan in the nineteenth century by Dr. Mikao Usui. It is now practiced all over the world. There are many physiological, emotional, mental and spiritual benefits of receiving Reiki energy treatments. It is a process used to remove all that is not love in mind, body and spirit. It helps to alleviate stress, feelings of overwhelm, states of fear and anxiety. It is an energetic purge of negativity that has been consciously or subconsciously stored within the human being. After receiving Reiki, many people express feeling “lighter”, happier, calmer and more peaceful. In some instances people have expressed their level of physical pain dissipating and lessening in their bodies. It is a spiritual process that can help induce a meditative and relaxed state.
Meditation
Meditation is a practice that involves clearing or focusing the mind using a combination of mental and physical techniques. It is a powerful healing modality that promotes relaxation, peace and a reduction in stress and anxiety. Meditation emphasizes the importance of being in the “now” moment, taking time to breathe, letting go of outer noise and distractions and connect fully to the experience of being within your physical body. There are many ways to meditate, and not one way is more beneficial than the other. The purpose of meditation is to allow for stillness. To cease to “do” and to allow yourself to just “be”: To connect to the rhythmic pattern of your breathing, to feel your heart beating in your chest, to send soothing waves of healing through you by slowing your breathing and calming the nervous system. When meditation is practiced on a frequent basis, you will naturally feel happier, more focused and clear-minded and peaceful in your life.
Yoga
Yoga is a mind and body practice that builds strength, flexibility and creates a sense of calm and serenity within the mind, body and soul. There are many variations of yoga to choose from.

Breathwork is working on the way that you breathe to release emotions and blocked energy and reduce negative emotions such as anxiety and depression stored within the body and mind. This is a powerful modality that allows for a deeper connection to self and assists in healing trauma and eliciting a sense of peace.

Organic Gardening
Studies show that those who garden are more likely to eat vegetables. Vegetables are a good source of essential nutrients and when you work outside in the sunshine, you are aiding your body in the production of vitamin D. Walking, bending, lifting, and pulling movements that happen while gardening fit into the moderate exercise category that can increase your body’s immune system function. Learning about how to seed, plant and grow is a wonderful knowledge that promotes sustainability. At HOPE Be The Cure, clients will have the opportunity to develop and learn new gardening skills.
Art Therapy
Art is used as an alternative counselling approach for individuals. Art therapy can be useful in allowing people to express challenging emotions that they may struggle to express with words.

Creative expression through artmaking can serve as a cathartic outlet, and research has shown its benefits as a therapeutic tool.
