Let your School or Organization benefit from Complementary Therapies
During our volunteering with Foundation Apoyar during 2 years in the Caldas Oriental in Colombia, we were touched to witness that many children and young people suffer from traumas, anxiety, difficulties to manage their emotions and other personal difficulties, leading also to problems of coexistence and school dropouts.
They need help to overcome these difficulties, for their well-being, health and future.
That is also how peace starts in Colombia.
The complementary therapies we provide help in that direction.
We could work together if you choose so, with the psychologist(s) or social worker(s) from your institution.
There are various possibilities.
​
After we have talked together to know your expectations, we propose you to start with an
interactive free talk for children above 7 years old and teenagers:
​
We will tell them a story about a child experiencing various emotions and the scientific experience of water crystals from Masaru Emoto, showing us that our thoughts and words create positively and negatively, and how they can influence our daily life and feelings. Through a few questions throughout the story, we will lead the children to reflect about how they manage their own emotions. We will encourage them to go feel inside, how they think the water in their own body look like and why. And if there is something not so nice, we will ask them what they feel they could do about it to feel better.
After they have come with their own ideas, we will explain a possible extra help if they would want it and if their parents would agree, for another moment to agree on:
Depending of what is chosen by the school or organization:
​
-
Life Movements
They work with positive intentions and help to let go of difficult memories,
make a shift to more positivity and open up to the future.
(we will show them one of these movements)​​
​
-
Reiki
It helps them to connect with their emotions, release them and feel more at peace.
(we will let them feel it shortly)​​
​
-
Essenian Healing Journeys
Written as a fairy tale, they are inner journeys in which the children are the heroes.
They will be helped to feel and release the pain and emotions that are locked inside their body and that make them feel bad, to let it go, forgive and start anew.
They are wonderful for children with traumas.​​

Workshops of Essenian Arts of Life Energy Movements
(for children and teenagers from 7 years old)
“Essenian” means “Healer”.
These are body movements, which look a bit like gymnastics or slow dance like Chinese moving arts.
Each movement begins with an intention; such as “increase my inner strength.”
These Movements support the emotional management and emotional, mental and physical well-being of children and young people.
Through these movements, the emotional body that we all have is addressed, allowing children and teenagers to let go of their negativity and difficult 3-dimensional memories, such as pent-up anger or sadness putting themselves down.
The feminine and masculine energy of the body is as also addressed, to bring them more into harmony.
So that the children and teenagers can make a shift towards more positivity and open themselves to the future.
The lessons are given in groups of max 4 to 6 participants.
One lesson last +- 3 hours, and 4 lessons are needed in total over 2 months’ time to learn these movements.
During each lesson, new movements are learned and previous movements are corrected and improved.
The participants need to practice the movements several times a week, by themselves or together as a group.
They will receive a diploma after participating to the 4 lessons.
​
We recommend that an adult or teenager leader from your institution participates to the workshop as well, to continue practicing the movements together with the children. This can create a special connection between the adult/leader and the children.
This could become a daily morning routine in the classroom to allow the children to move peacefully before a productive learning day. Once the movements are learned, they can continue practicing them for life, and even choose the next year to do the Level 2 workshop.
A signed parent or legal responsible guardian authorization (we provide the form) is always needed for children and teenagers to participate to a workshop.The fee of the workshop can be paid by the institution/organization or by the parents. It is asked to the children who receive it as a gift from an institution or organization to bring a flower or a piece of wood they found in nature as a payment/exchange.
Reiki treatments for children and teenagers
(individual sessions of 30min)
Reiki is an ancient healing art, rediscovered at the beginning of the 20th century by a Christian monk, Master Mikao Usui.
However, Reiki is not linked to a religion, it is only about healing for the person: it is Universal-Divine Life Healing Energy.
It is recognized by the World Health Organization and is already offered in many hospitals in the United States.
During a Reiki treatment, the receiver lays down on a treatment table and the therapist acts as a channel: he or she gently places his or her hands on the person or child's fully clothed body, or on a distance, always respecting one’s intimacy, and lets the energy flow, which stimulates one's self-healing.
Everyone experiences Reiki in their own way.
Out of 25 children who received Reiki thanks to the Fundacion Apoyar, most of them felt it as a pure moment of well-being and relaxation. Some children felt a warm energy flow moving through their body. Some opened up about a difficult situation they are living through and had some insight about it by themself to improve it.
Reiki also helps to reduce symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), stress, insomnia, panic attacks, anxiety, depression, pain, etc. It helps one to feel inner peace, to connect with their feelings, to learn to recognize, accept and manage their emotions.
This can be of great help in associations for children with special needs as well.
We propose 30min sessions for each child or teenager who wants to experience it.
​
We could come to your institution to give Reiki treatments, or we could teach Reiki to adults from your institution so that they could offer Reiki Treatments themselves to the children. Furthermore, a Reiki Initiation is a big personal help for one’s daily and professional life.
For children with big traumas or difficulties, we recommend a Reiki Initiation or an Essenian Healing Journey to help them better.
A signed parent or legal responsible guardian authorization is always needed (we provide the form). The fee of the treatment can be paid by the institution/organization or by the parents. It is asked to the children who receive it as a gift from an institution or organization to bring a flower or a piece of wood they found in nature as a payment/exchange.
