Alisonmanno

All too often we do not take time to nurture ourselves enough. However, when you are diagnosed with a life-threatening disease as I was, it forces you to take stock of your life. To look at how you are using your time and energy.

Now that I have been a cancer survivor since 2000 I do take time to nurture myself and do things in my life that I am passionate about. My passion in life is to pass on my knowledge and help people enjoy and enhance their lives.

The workshops I offer are a way for people to learn how colour can enhance their lives.

Take time to enjoy your life

Alison Manno


About Me

Alison’s spiritual journey started in the 70’s, where she studied a number of healing modalities and meditation techniques, eventually running meditation groups.

After joining Spiritual Venturers (a group formed by the writer Edmund Harold) Alison discovered her passion in working with colour through Shirley Darby, an internationally known colour therapist and interior decorator, who was a regular speaker at the group. Shirley taught Colour Therapy at Nature Care College.

Alison enrolled at Nature Care College completing certificates 1 & 2 in Colour Therapy and her thirst for knowledge led her to complete the Diploma of Colour with Shirley Darby’s Academy of Colour.
Since then Alison has developed her own “Colour Your Life” workshop and has been passing on her knowledge to others since 2004. The “Colour Your Life” workshops are conducted in Alison’s home as it is a tranquil, idyllic setting, surrounded by trees and gardens. Apart from the workshops, Alison is also available for healing sessions and meditation groups.

Healing Modalities

Reiki

Reiki is a simple stress reduction and relaxation technique that promotes healing. Universal Reiki energy is channelled by the practitioner and flows through the body assisting it to heal on a physical and mental level. The practitioner places hands on or near the client’s fully-clothed body and the energy is absorbed where it is needed.

Chakra Balancing

A quartz crystal pendulum is used to balance and clean the Chakras of the body. At the end of the treatment all activity is stilled for a few moments, allowing the energy to flow through the body freely.

Colour Therapy and Colourpuncture

Every disease of the body is the result of unresolved emotional conflict. To treat the disease we must first bring the emotional cause to the surface. Colour Therapy and Colourpuncture use light and colours to re-introduce “correct” information into to the mind/body. This will help remove “wrong information” which has become “stuck”.

In Colourpuncture, a torch which uses coloured rods of quartz crystal, is placed on specific points and zones of the body, assisting the lymphatic and endocrine systems to work more efficiently.

Both of these modalities are not just used to treat illnesses which have already manifested, but to clear emotional problems before they cause physical disease of the body.

“Tree of Life” Crystal Therapy

Specially designed Swarovski crystals imbibed with the Earth hologram (which corresponds to the human body-related information patterns) are used on the body to bring its energy into balance.
Using the “Tree of Life” module, the gold and silver crystals are place on specific areas of the body to bring the underlying emotion, which can create physical illness, to the surface.
Once this has been done, the physical illness can also be addressed.

Australian Bush Flower Essences

Flower essences are not something new. The Australian Aborigines have always used them to bring emotional balance, as did the ancient Egyptians. Australia has the highest number of flowering native plants and are the oldest in the world. The essences are taken as drops under the tongue and have significant healing powers.

Whether you are taking the course for self development or for use as a career,Alison"s encouragement and teaching covers all aspects.
Being a mother, running a business and caring for an elderly mother, I have taken so much away from Alison's courses for use in my personal life.
Comprehensive and enjoyable.
