Welcome to the Song of Life

The Song of Life Healing Centre is situated in Denmark, Western Australia, where we offer various Massage, Healing and Body Work Sessions as well as Retreats for Body and Soul.

We explore ways of growing well and staying healthy, while uncovering our natural ability to be joyful. There is no need to struggle to change things. Rather, we can discover our source which, by its very nature, is joy. So, the various forms of healing that are presented here have this in common: they all lead towards bliss and they can all be pleasurable.

Some steps of the process may be challenging, but it is always rewarding.

Among the many things we offer is:

Massage, generous, gentle yet deep with profound effects. Combining a light flowing massage with deep tissue work creates the most relaxing and healing experience.

The Trager Approach encourages increased freedom of movement, deep relaxation, lightness and well-being. In a hands-on session you re-discover your natural state of relaxation. Trager helps to dissolve habits and patterns that cause tensions, pain or restrictions.

Counselling: Counselling from the Heart encourages the art of embracing what is. Loving awareness heals. From a place of acceptance it is easier to see one's issues clearly, to understand what is needed and to take effective action.

Tibetan Pulsing Healing is an ancient and immensely powerful form of healing, a process of transformation that heals on many levels. During a healing session blockages melt away, 'dis-ease' is dissolved and the body's natural energy flow is restored.

Healing Relationships through Tantra: To discover Tantra is the most enlivening event that can happen for a couple, restoring and healing their relationship.

If you would like to look into the background of our work first, you can look at Healing, Magic or maybe read a little of Sudeva's life story in About Us

Or, if you are feeling playful, you could check out Zen Tarot or Laughter is healthy.

Sessions and workshops are available in Denmark and Albany and occasionally in Fremantle.

Retreats for Healing, Tantra or Meditation are offered at the lovely Bombina Cottages in Denmark ... a place of peace and tranquility, by the forest and overlooking the blue waters of the Wilson Inlet.

You are also welcome to contact us for a telephone session.

If you would like to host a workshop where you live, you are welcome to get in touch.

“What could be lighter?  … freer?  … and lighter still than this?”

Trager is a playful way of re-discovering our natural state of relaxation, effortlessness and freedom.
In this workshop we use touch and movement to explore what it feels like when our body and mind feel at ease, become softer and lighter, relaxing deeply even while moving.  It is an incredible tool for everyday life.
Trager helps to dissolve habits and patterns that cause tensions, pain or restrictions.  It offers us new positive feeling experiences, new options of living and moving with ease, joy and freedom.

Opening deeper in Love
Healing Relationships through Tantra
Tantra Weekend for Couples to enliven and deepen your relationship

To discover Tantra is the most enlivening event that can happen for a couple, restoring and healing their relationship. Tantra in its essence is a circle of life energy flowing between two people. When you first touched your partner, you probably felt that ripple of electricity flowing between you. It is powerful energy that is always changing.  The teachings of Tantra enable us to bring that energy into a balanced flow which regenerates us and our love.
In the group we will work with meditations and playful exercises but most of all with creating a space to open deeper to each other.  You will need to keep the evenings free - the love-making will be in your home (or wherever you make a beautiful space for yourselves).
Subhi and Sudeva have been bringing tantra to their own relating for many years and now they feel ready to share from their experience.  They have a lively and lighthearted approach that will enable you to relax and enjoy.

Health Tips:

Eating as a meditation
How about making something we do every day into a meditation and reaping health benefits from it at the same time?

When you eat, let your senses open. Be simply present ... take a moment to enjoy the look of the food, the smell ... as you pick up the fork, feel the touch of fork on skin, maybe feel the sunshine or the air on your hands, your face ... slowly raise the food to your mouth, being aware of the anticipation ... and then experience the flavour, the temperature and texture of the food, bite by bite.
Take your time to taste all the different nuances the food has to offer.

Allow your eyes to be soft, your breath to be free.
What a gift, a moment of simply being here, not distracted by TV or radio, a book or computer.
Simply tasting, smelling, feeling.

Eating as a meditation allows you to relax while you eat, to feel more calm and peaceful, more centered.
In this state the nervous system supports the digestion and the absorbtion of nutrients to its optimum.

Laughing is healthy!

Embarassing!
I was born in Germany, and my english was very basic indeed when I first travelled to England at the age of 15. I was trying to find something in the supermarket, and I just couldn't find it. So I asked a shop assistent: "Where do I find dogs?" - "Dogs?" - "Yes, dogs!" -"We don't sell any dogs." - " You must sell dogs! Cold dogs!" - "COLD DOGS???" - "Yes! You know hot dogs? I want cold dogs." - "Ahh! Sausages!" - "Yes! Sausages!"
