Student Objectives
This will be an opportunity to heal your precious Self, recharge, detoxify your body, mind and spirit, receive and give bodywork, eat healthy, do daily yoga asanas for your body type, and allow the knowledge with the Sacred Stone Therapy principles to enliven a new place in your heart. When we journey through layers of our true nature using the power inherent in the stones and within us, healing and accepting hurt places, we reconnect with our authentic self. We awaken the Shakti in the stone. What we are all seeking is our core self, which is bliss. Our clients are seeking the same. If we evolve past the layers that shroud our authenticity, and actualize our potential, then clients will seek us because of our authenticity, consciously or unconsciously. Once we activate the life in the stones and lay them on and around our clients, a process called entrainment begins to occur. Entrainment is when one resonate vibration begins to harmonize and match another resonate vibration. Since the stones are vibrating at such a high resonate frequency, you and your client will effortlessly entrain to match this frequency. This will create a benevolent space for your client to begin the healing process. In this space, you will learn to use signature techniques for smoothing out tight muscles, addressing sports injuries, using the edge of the stones to strip the muscle and move the fascia, realigning the posture, reducing vata (wind-stress element within the body), and removing pain within the musculoskeletal system.

• Passion for healing.
• Love for stones and the earth.

For all classes that include practicum: Students should manicure their nails to be short and free of polish, for hygiene and safety reasons. Long hair needs to be tied back.  To prevent skin sensitivity shaving or waxing any part of the body that might be exposed to the hot stones on the same day as the practicum is not recommended.

The Renaissance Barn in Little Compton is located about 35 minutes away from Beautiful historic Newport, RI. I recommend you stay in Little Compton, RI during class, but rates are a little lower in Newport and Middletown, RI.
