Angelic Healing
Guardian Angels are our guides from birth to grave. Although many earth bound humans can sense, hear or even see an angelic presence, we do not know how to effectively communicate with and receive their messages. The higher energy of angels cleanse, clear and recharge vital spiritual energy. Often the practitioner acts as the vessel for universal divine energy to flow through the client. Learn to communicate in the language of the angelic realm in symbols, numbers, colors. The practitioner will guide you through a healing process designed to remove blockages, releasing unhealthy patterns, thereby optimizing innate healing abilities. Learn about the roles of Archangels in your life and meet your Guardian Angels through meditations as well.
Chanting
Prior to the written word, Vedic sacred texts and prayers were chanted as a way of learning and preserving the information for future generations. Client and practitioner will chant in the resonant language of Sanskrit which is designed for healing and nourishment in the mind, body, spirit. The efficacy, power and beauty of Sanskrit depends upon correct pronunciation. Chanting vocal expressions in Sanskrit allows us to connect with our transcendent selves by crossing over from our linear thinking minds. Today, people chant for many different reasons - spiritual, relaxation, self awareness, meditation, etc.
Dosha Assessment
A questionnaire rooted in Ayurveda (the life science of yoga) that determines your innate constitution based on nature’s forces present in your body. It is a blueprint that describes your unique personality traits, tendencies and physical nature. You are assigned to 1 of 3 doshas - Vata (air), Pitta (fire) and Kapha (earth). The results are interpreted by the yoga practitioner and can be an awakening into greater harmony, balance and self-discovery thru therapeutic yoga, diet and lifestyle changes, etc.
Energy Medicine “EM” Yoga
A modern, science based branch of yoga developed in the west designed to interface our physical body with our nine subtle energy systems. In short, EM yoga is energy medicine + yoga and teaches the efficacious way to thump, tap, hang, weave, breath, circle and squat to clear stuck energy and get it moving in the right direction. It is easy and highly adaptable to any exercise practice.
Oracle Readings
Life can often be overwhelming because we lack a sense of direction or purpose. Oracle card readings are tools used for introspection to help gain insight/clarity into current situations and to find guidance toward better decisions. Oracles are similar to tarot cards but are more simplistic in nature. The cards illuminate how things are energetically rather than focusing on specifics. Readings provide an outside perspective and insights you may not have considered.
QiGong
An ancient Chinese method of opening energy pathways, or meridians thru physical movements, posture, self-massage, breathing techniques, focused intent and sounds. It is the mother of Tai Chi and is designed to smooth out fragmented energy using simple movements that flow like water. The Chinese learned thousands of years ago the connection between energy and human ailments. Qi means lifeforce, gong translates as “working with”. The fluidity and breath of Qigong allows the thinking mind to dissolve allowing you to move into a state of “being aware” and joyful. Qigong enhances our ability to feel life force in order to better communicate with it.
Reiki
An ancient Japanese healing art that taps into the flow of universal energy. “Rei” is Japanese for universal, “ki” life energy. Universal energy is transferred from the palms of the practitioner to the client with the intention of healing. Hands are lightly on or over the body. Energy can stagnate in the body where it can cause physical injury, emotional pain, and over time - illness. Reiki uses several techniques to regain balance and vitality in the body through centering, clearing, beaming, extracting harmful energies, infusing, and smoothing/raking the aura.
Smudging
A ceremony is practiced to energetically cleanse and purify a space or person from negative energy (positive ions). Traditionally white sage, palo santo, or indigenous herbs and plants are burned to invite in positive energy (negative ions). Ritualistic chants and symbols may also be used. According to lore, as the smoke rises your intentions mingle with universal energy as the path to human, earth, and divine connection. Ceremonies are Reiki and/or shamanic depending on the circumstances and the practitioner.. Smudge a home or office space when you “feel” it needs it. Smudge yourself if feeling sluggish, anxious, or negative.
Sound Bath
A broad term used for immersive, full-body vibrational healing including chanting/voice, tuning forks, primitive instruments such as chimes, drums, singing bowls, and music crafted at a specific Hz. Sound is mechanical energy and affects our bodies on the cellular level. Get bathed in therapeutic sound waves to explore meditation, chakra alignment, self-inquiry, and deep relaxation. Restorative and nurturing, gentle yet powerful. The client is in the lying down position with a blanket and eye pillow (passive) or can actively participate.
Therapeutic Massage
By nature massage is therapeutic. It is a broad term used to describe the manipulation of the body’s soft tissues by kneading, stroking, or tapping using varying degrees of pressure and movement to support circulation. Although it is most commonly used for muscle stiffness/pain and relaxation it also increases endorphin levels which supports mental and emotional health. Our massage therapists are well-trained professionals who offer many styles customized to your needs - Swedish, hot stone, sports, lymphatic, craniosacral, raindrop, etc.
Therapeutic Yoga
Ideal for those who want a tailored program to practice yoga safely but are limited by recent body injuries or other specific conditions. Each session is primarily geared towards maximizing your self-care on a routine basis. Learn proper methods to perform Yoga wisely and safely in asana poses, pranayama breathwork, relaxation/meditation, yoga diet, etc.
Tuning Forks
The harmonic, vibrational resonance of tuning fork moves and transforms the energetic body. Each tuning fork is calibrated to match the specific hz of chakras and since our bodies are mostly water, it is the perfect electrical environment. These specific frequencies are capable of triggering cell membrane proteins to create an amplified response and can have healing effects on the body.
Yoga Therapy
Highly individualized pampering energy work that acknowledges and honors all of the dynamic dimensions that make us human - mind, body, emotions, spirit, and breath. Therapy sessions are primarily geared toward blending systematic yoga with other Ayurveda techniques that can create an instant positive lift. Yoga therapy is a wellspring of healing that may also include assessing your dosha, body alignment, lifestyle, etc. Ideal for those who routinely suffer from sleep issues, chronic pain, anxiety, grief, muscle tension, and just not feeling yourself.
