Sacred Stone Therapy combines the art of stone bodywork
with the amazing ancient science of Ayurveda. This treatment
is designed to take 75 minutes. Of the 5 elements that exist
in the universe and within ourselves, it has been our
observation that the wind element (ether & air), otherwise
known as Vata, is the element that seems to be most out of
balance in the majority of people who live in this
fast-paced, multi-tasking part of the world. That is, people
who have email, a TV, 2.5 kids, voicemail, stressful jobs,
cars, and confused relationships.
This therapy is primarily anxiety-reducing, calming,
peaceful and restorative. Sacred Stone Therapists pacify all
the attributes that increase the wind within us. Every
technique used during this 75-minute treatment has been
thoughtfully designed to bring the body, mind and soul back
into balance and renew the sweetness of life in a world
where people are driving while eating their lunch.
We focus on anchoring the first (muladhara) and second (svadhisthana)
chakra more than any other chakra in the body. These are the
chakras that belong to the wind (vata). The sequence for the
initial stone layout, and the final spinal layout is
especially mindful of these 2 chakras. That is why they are
the first chakras that the stone are applied and the last
chakras in which the stones are removed.
This treatment also integrates the use of stones with the
use of traditional massage. We do not believe that pure
stone massage is completely effective. Stone massage was
never meant to replace the human touch. The way in which a
certified Sacred Stone Therapist touches the body is
critical for reducing the wind element. These wind-reducing
techniques include wringing and squeezing the tissue out,
much like water out of a sponge or air out of a balloon.
