“With a gentleness, a gentle hand, touch, for there is a spirit in the earth.” William Wordsworth

Sacred Stone Therapy techniques are unique and different because time-proven Ayurvedic modalities are applied, based on theories which direct energy towards the “terminal ends” of the body, enliven the “earth-bound” chakra system, engages the natural intelligence of the body, awakens prana (life force) and renews the sweetness of life. There are many spiritual and health benefits of laying stones directly on the skin with or without oil. The order of stone removal from the body will explored in depth (a.k.a. ‘de-stoning’). The Sacred Stone application and removal sequence allows important chakras (muladhara and svadhisthana) to remain awakened as long as possible during the treatment, activating the body’s downward flow (apana vayu) to connect our clients to the earth. The power of this therapy is rooted in the compassion that is expressed from the therapist to the client. This compassion becomes imprinted within the matrix of each stone.Graduates have told us their most favorite part of this seminar is exploring the beautiful beaches on our guided stone harvests to build a beloved collection of Sacred Stones.

“Elements of The Great Earth for healing, massage and beauty are rooted in shila abhyanga, (shila – stone, abhy – to rub, anga – limb), and is Sanskrit for stone massage. Heated stone massage is a form of swedhana, meaning thermotherapy, a modality used during pancha karma. Pancha karma is a form of internal and external purification of the body, mind and soul using many ancient bodywork techniques and nutritional modalities from India. Every ingredient in the cosmos has a healing effect…every plant, flower, stone, leaf, bark, aroma and even vastu shastra (E.Indian Feng Shui)….we just need to learn how to use them properly. Ayurveda simply uses natural ingredients from the kitchen and the garden for healing. Breath, sleep, diet and yoga are the four pillars of nourishment for the body, mind and soul. Warm oil and sea stones on the skin are highly nourishing for the physiology and nervous system. Ayurveda gives importance to beauty because the body is a sacred temple of the soul. Heated and chilled stones can be used on the face to impart a radiant glow and the marmas (Marma is a Sanskrit word for “doorway” in the body) can be activated by firm pressure with small stones and crystals.” -Dr. Naina Marballi

"I enjoyed the workshop very much. Input from others was right to the point, accepted, and very relevant to the subject. Sometimes workshops deteriorate such that the focus goes off kilter. You led the class well and stuck to the curriculum. My favorite part was the spinning of the big belly stone with the castor oil! Thank you!" –Sue Knit
