Explore the concepts, theory and history of hydro and thermo- therapy based on the time-proven principles of the ancient science of Ayurveda. Learn why thermo-hydrotherapy is so restorative and beneficial before and after massage, as well as a treatment on it’s own. Learn a step by step sequence as taught by Dr. John Doulliard, called garshana therapy using raw silk gloves for friction massage. Other restorative applications include massage, energy-work and fresh lemon and salt on the feet to encourage systemic detoxification since the feet are the most active terminal exit point for toxins and pain in the body.
The other applications may include muds, honey, herbal oils and other materials to aid in removing impurities, stimulates both arterial and lymphatic circulation, and calms the central nervous system, promoting a blissful sensation. Specific marma points are located and activated in this session with light touch, along with components of cryo-therapy as a way to create homeostasis and balance in the body with the steam. The steam is a form of thermo-hydrotherapy that is produced by a steam canopy that fits over the massage table. Â

This DVD will cover sacred and valuable information about the healing properties of herbal oils, the application, sequence and benefits of detoxification and rejuvenation as a result. A base oil of sesame is generally the traditional oil of choice, according to the ancient scriptures of Ayurvedic medicine. In addition, sesame oil is a powerful delivery system for vitamin E through your skin, which is deficient in 27% of the population and critical for healthy skin and skin protection. Studies show that self-massage produces oxytocin, which has shown to balance our immune system and hormones, increase our overall fitness, provide a “glow of health” as seen in our skin and hair, increase our skin wound-healing capability, and even have significant positive effect upon our mood and behavior.Â

Learn how to provide a continuous flow of oil over the forehead of your clients to renew the sweetness of their lives. Cradled by warm smooth stones, this mind-melting ancient oil therapy enlivens our innate intelligence, igniting automatic self-healing. This Ayurvedic therapy dispels negative thoughts by dispersing the negative electrical impulses that accumulate at our foreheads from overthinking and stress.
This particular shirodhara therapy is very unique because it incorporates heated and chilled sea stones to help harmonize and ground the clients during this very uplifting therapy. It helps pacify the “internal wind” we all carry around from stress. Karyn also uses stones in the oil to help regulate the temperature of the oil, as well as infuse the prana from the ocean that is within the matrix of each stone.

As a form of contract hydrotherapy, I teach how to alternate chilled snow-quartz and warm, textured and heated smooth granite mineral composite sea stones as extensions of my hands and heart, as well as tools for massage, healing, rejuvenation and beauty. Marma points are junctions of consciousness where vata, pitta and kapha meet. They are doorways into the physical body and energy body. We use these sacred points for analysis as well as remedial measures. During this therapy, marma points on the upper body are awakened, providing more vitality to the entire body, stimulating circulation and imparting a rosy glow to the face. I teach how to incorporate crystal gemstone therapy along the marma points and other strategic locations to move and clear heavy energy.Â
An emphasis on gliding, mudra and effleurage techniques combined with the stones sets this E-DVD apart from most others. Students will learn about the healing properties of neem-coconut-lavender oils, sinus clearing oils and how to apply a raw honey mask, along with other ancient Ayurvedic longevity and beauty secrets. Learn about the properties of various oils and how they can be doshic specific to each client.Â

Stone medicine is as old as the earth. There is a Spirit within each stone, alive with sacred sweet earth energy. They are the Proverbial Record Keepers of the world, containing all the stories and secrets of Mother Earth. I developed Sacred Stone Massage Therapy to Newport, RI in 1999 while renting a summer home on a powerful stone beach. I have been a stone collector since I was 5 years old and wanted to bring the power of stones into my healing practice.
Â
My intention for this E-DVD is for my students to learn and apply these techniques and theories in order to elevate their healing practice and raise the vibration of the planet by exploring and attuning to the mineral kingdom. By adding Sacred Stone Therapy to my traditional massage practice, I witnessed my clients sinking deeper into a transcendental state that could only be attained while using the heat and shakti of the sea stones. They enjoyed my regular massages, but they called my Sacred Stone Therapy as “Spiritual Experience” that interfaced harmoniously with the restorative science of massage therapeutics. The stones embody the ability to remove stress, melt knots, soften pain and with proper placement, they can correct postural imbalances. I was known for my deep massages, but when I added the heat from the stones, I could go even deeper without pain. I was booking 3 months out with amazing results.Â

This E-DVD will teach students how to create powerful stone layouts and utilize gliding, spinning, edging and flipping techniques designed to calm the central nervous system, improve systemic detoxification, encourage better posture and reduce muscular tension.
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, activate Marma Points, 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.Â
