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