For thousands of years there have been healers, some working through massage, others through meditation, it’s the most natural thing in the world that we reach out and help each other through times of crisis. There are also places of healing, sometimes spas and sometimes just quiet spaces that people have come to for generations to seek peace and find perspective.
In this podcast, I'm going to share some of the amazing types of healing I've experienced around the world - and even some new ways of healing based on recent scientific studies. It's not all woo woo!
I've had the most incredible times exploring massage, some you will find hard to believe! But some of the best forms of healing are really simple, cheap and you can do them for yourself.
Whether you’ve never even thought of having a massage or are constantly on the look out for something new, there will be something here for you. And more importantly, I'll be talking about what healing really means. Because we can heal at different levels - sometimes we might be trying to heal a symptom, when we really need to be going deeper or bigger and healing perhaps a situation or a lifestyle.
If you can't quite wait for me to record the podcast, you can also jump straight over to my book, which has over 500 types of healing explained, find one of my smaller guides to specific locations if you're heading on a trip or look for my new, more scientific Holistic Health Guides https://www.lulu.com/shop/pearl-howie/pearl-escapes-guide-to-healing-2019-massage-meditation-spa-treatments-teachers-practices-and-places/ebook/product-12426kkv.html?page=1&pageSize=4&srsltid=AfmBOoriko5dhHncdPSJab9drj4a6y9QaDa9CoV-Ii4hUljNOxLXWT_L

Healing Symptoms, Causes or Even Deeper
When we look at healing, sometimes we can decide at what level we are focusing our attention - is it on the symptom, on a deeper level, on a root cause?
