Healing Henna

| There
is some evidence that part of the reason Henna application developed in
hot climates is because it has a cooling effect and can protect against
sunburn. . So – great for those summer festivals!! It was mentioned in
early Egyptian pharmacoepia as a treatment for skin ailments. |
| The very act of
applying henna to the skin is a process that is healing in itself - to
henna artist and client. Elements of trust, touch and conversation come
into play as artist and client take part in co-creating a sacred space -
a space removed from the distractions of everyday life within which the
artist applies symbols which reflect the mood, energy and personality
of the client. |

HENNA as Healing Interface |
| The
act of application can also serve as the interface during a healing
session using techniques such as Reiki or
Geometric Resonance Therapy. In a
healing session the actual henna designs are no longer the object or the
goal but part of the process of healing. In a paradoxical way, the
designs serve as evidence of the process and ALSO as tools of the
process. The resulting henna designs are as beautiful as ever and
perhaps even more so as the recipient will see them as part of their won
healing process. |
