Whilst the displays and interactives of the main museum are interesting in their own right and well worth a visit, undoubtedly the main feature of the LHC is the return of the Lindisfarne Gospels. Appearing in electronic interactive turning-pages form, a purpose built annex provides a lifelike and atmospheric setting in which to examine and enjoy the beauty and craftsmanship of one of the country's most famous and revered relics. Painstakingly worked and crafted with love in honour of God and Cuthbert on the Island 1300 years ago. In the opening weeks of my practice in complementary therapies at the Lindisfarne Heritage centre I have received several queries about the nature of reflexology. It is rapidly becoming one of the most popular therapies today and for good reasons.
Reflexology is simple, safe, effective and pleasurable.
Another advantage is that this therapy combines well with orthodox forms of medicine, often reducing side effects. Reflexology is an ancient remedy rediscovered at the beginning of the 20th century. It is linked to the system of acupuncture which is based on the Chinese concept of meridians, or energy channels which flow through the organs and parts of the body and end in the feet and hands. When these energy channels are blocked or congested, illness can occur. Reflexology is believed to stimulate and revitalise the energy flow.
