Imagine a life where you Ignite Self-Healing and Dispel Negativity
This is an ancient mind-melting warm oil therapy rooted in Ayurvedic concepts that give rise to elevated consciousness, expanded awareness, blissful sleep and healing for the entire mind-body-spirit paradigm. Ayurveda is a time-proven, evidence-based holistic medical system of self-healing. This is potentially one of the most “spiritually awakening” therapies on the planet and it is one of my most favorite therapies to give my clients. It raises consciousness, bliss, peace, removes stress and so much more. I find I receive the benefits when I GIVE the treatment. This particular shirodhara therapy is very unique because I incorporate heated and chilled sea stones to help harmonize and ground my clients during this very uplifting therapy. It helps pacify the “internal wind” we all carry around from stress. I also use stones in the oil to help regulate the temperature of the oil, as well as infuse the prana from the ocean that is within the matrix of each stone. Shirodhara translated means “the flowing of oil like a thread (dhara) on the head (shiro)”. This treatment provides a platform for warm oil to flow in a steady stream gently over the third eye located on the forehead and over the top of the head (crown chakra
Shirodhara rejuvenates both the mind and the senses, which allow the body’s natural healing mechanisms to release stress from the nervous system, improve mental clarity and comprehension. Shirodhara is a profound mind-melting, sacred treatment using medicinal Ayurvedic oils, sometimes followed or proceeded by massage. Shirodhara uses oils, butters and milks made with special herbs that calm and nourish the nervous system. During traditional shirodhara, a thin stream of warm liquid flows from a copper vessel hung approximately 6-8 inches above the client’s forehead. The actual flow of oil takes between 20-40 minutes. Upon graduation, students become certified as Sacred Stone Shirodhara Therapists.
The treatment includes marma massage of the face, head, neck, shoulders, and feet. It aims to reduce stress, clear negative thoughts, and enhance healing by working with the brain's emissary veins - 13 bidirectional channels connecting the brain to the scalp. This therapy claims to raise consciousness, activate cellular intelligence, and promote natural healing processes. Practitioners learn theory, operation techniques, benefits, and safety measures for administering treatments.
Shirodhara Therapy is offered at many medical wellness clinics, hospitals in the most elite beauty spas around the world. Some of the spas call it the Himalayan Treatment and others call it Soothing Forehead Therapy. Many medical spas are adopting this ancient therapy as a means for reversing the aging process and removing stress from the mind and physiology. If this therapy is done properly and on a regular basis, it can transform one’s life on all levels. Ayurvedic and consciousness therapies such as shirodhara, are among the most subtle, yet, most powerful treatments for a plethora of disorders, but in the west, it is used mostly for developing a sense of well-being and restoring the harmony the weaves the body, mind and spirit together. Sacred Stone Shirodhara Therapy includes massage of the head and feet and a layout of heated sea stones over, under and alongside the body.
This therapy usually takes about 70 minutes and 2 quarts of oil, depending on the length and thickness of your client’s hair. You can charge between $90.00 – $225.00 depending on where you work.
