Cranial Sacral and Polarity Therapy

Cranial Sacral therapy is a gentle therapy that works to rebalance the flow of cranial sacral fluid in & around the bones of the cranium & the sacrum via the spinal column.  This therapy also works to release emotional & physical stress being held in these areas.  Clients rest on a massage table while the therapist goes through a series of gentle hand placements that allow the bones in the cranium to "unwind" & release any tension being held there.  Clients report feeling relaxed & may experience the sensation of the bones in the face & skull moving slightly as they relax & rebalance!

Polarity Therapy is a dynamic therapy that utilizes the bodies own energetic meridians to release tension & stress held in the fascia tissue of the body.  Developed over many years, a series of hand placements are used to allow the body to release in specific sequences.  This type of therapy is used to release muscles & area's of concern that traditional massage techniques may not help.  Polarity therapy is also very useful to assist is releasing areas of tension in the body created by emotional stress & trauma. 

Both therapies work on releasing & rebalancing the bodies energetic system & the corresponding physical tension & stress.  Clients rest comfortably fully clothed on a massage table during the therapy

Yoga Philosophy Theme of the Week

Shaucha

We now begin to explore the five Niyamas, which are constructive tools for the inner work that gives rise to the ability to really put spirituality into practice in our daily lives.

Shaucha means "purification; cleanliness".  It includes a number of techniques for cleansing the body as well as the mind, and it has even been called the aim of the entire system of yoga.  The sages say that shaucha is not only the foundation for bodily health, it is also the doorway to deeper and more tranquil states of meditation.

Practice tip:  Select wisely from the many choices of food, emotions, and thoughts waiting to come into your body and mind.  As the body becomes purified you will experience radiant health;  as the mind becomes purified, you will feel increasingly clear, friendly and cheerful.
