Vata Balancing Therapies Vata is the first Dosha to go out of balance <strong>and</strong> the elemental quality that increases with age. Vata is involved in nearly every imbalance. EVERYONE WILL RECEIVE THESE VATA BALANCING THERAPIES DURING THE WEEK: Chakra Balancing Meditation: Guided visualization / meditation from Root to Crown Chakra, using aromatic blends <strong>and</strong> mantras to balance <strong>and</strong> harmonize each energy center. Nasya (nose treatment): Warm, medicated oil is dripped into the nostrils to cleanse, purify <strong>and</strong> strengthen all parts of the nasal cavity, allowing for clear <strong>and</strong> easy respiration. This creates mental clarity <strong>and</strong> relieves congestion, sinus pressure, sinusitis, allergies, headaches, migraines, paralysis, cervical spondylosis <strong>and</strong> greying hair. It brightens the eyes <strong>and</strong> complexion; rids the body of excess Dosha, toxins, pain <strong>and</strong> stress <strong>and</strong> has positive affects on the eyes, ears <strong>and</strong> lungs. Karna Purna (ear treatment): Means, “ear full” of oil. Warm oil is poured into the ears to relieve aches <strong>and</strong> pains in the neck <strong>and</strong> jaw, headaches, migraines, ear diseases, ringing in the ears, vertigo <strong>and</strong> ear congestions. Removes ear wax. Great for hearing loss, balance, depression relief <strong>and</strong> ‘swimmer's ear’. It softens the face <strong>and</strong> relieves jaw tension (TMJ). It strengthens <strong>and</strong> nourishes all parts of the ears. Shirodhara: Abide in total bliss <strong>and</strong> easily immerse in deep meditation as warmed, aromatic, oils are poured over the 3rd eye center in a steady stream. This stabilizes the activity of the mind, creates mental clarity <strong>and</strong> balances emotions. Helps to manage insomnia, headaches, stress <strong>and</strong> anxiety. It instills deep relaxation <strong>and</strong> helps to eliminate old emotions that contribute to chronic disease. Promotes healthy sleep, improves memory, concentration <strong>and</strong> focus.
