Sacred Stone Therapy techniques are unique and different because time-proven Ayurvedic modalities are applied, based on theories which direct energy towards the âterminal endsâ of the body, activate Marma Points, enliven the âearth-boundâ 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. âde-stoningâ). 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 bodyâs 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.

Ayurveda teaches us many different bodywork modalities, including an oil massage technique called Abhyanga. Abyhanga is a Sanskrit word meaning âto rub the limbsâ, usually with warm herbal oil. Abhyanga massage soothes, softens and lubricates the bodily tissues so that toxins are released. It involves the external application of therapeutic and rejuvenating herbal and medicinal oils with effleurage and other gliding strokes that respect the energetic direction of the physiology and the flow of digestion, assimilation and elimination. This modality becomes a medium for divine grace and healing when the practitioner brings attention to their third eye and the moment-to-moment flow of their prana. This DVD will teach students that the skin is an organ of assimilation and elimination, therefore the types of oils used is nearly 50% of the efficacy. The skin is a seven-level external organ that has a continuous relationship with the lining of the gastro-intestinal tract and internal organs.
Abhyanga is useful in maintaining immunity, nourishing various tissues of the body and cleansing impurities. It is also useful for stiffness, fatigue, constipation, dry skin, diseases of the nervous system, tremors, misalignment, osteoarthritis, improves lymphatic and cardiac circulation. Abyhanga relaxes the mind and promotes inner tranquility. When done properly, abhyanga can bring about feelings of calm acceptance and gratitude.
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 âglow of healthâ as seen in our skin and hair, increase our skin wound-healing capability, and even have significant positive effect upon our mood and behavior. Using herbal sesame oils only enhance these effects, as the cooked herbs allow the oil to better penetrate the skin and ultimately deliver a more therapeutic result.
Abhyanga can be effectively performed as a stand-alone independent massage therapist. In honor of the Vedic lineage, the instructional video depicts two therapists harmoniously in tandem. However, anyone can use the information delivered and demonstrated in this course. Graduates are eligible for certification regardless of whether they demonstrate their techniques in tandem or alone. The principles, theories and concepts taught in this course are valuable for any massage therapist or healer, regardless.

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 âinternal windâ 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.
âOne who applies oil on his head regularly does not suffer from headache, baldness, graying of hair, nor does his hair fall. Strength of his head and forehead is especially enhanced; his hair becomes black, long and deep-rooted; his sense organs work properly; the skin of his face becomes brightened; applying oil on the head produces sound sleep and happiness.â âAyurvedic physician Charaka, in the first text on Ayurveda, written over 2,000 years ago.

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. This E-DVD includes many components of Sacred Stone Massage Therapy, but is focused more on the upper body, oils and marma point therapy for longevity and beauty. Students will learn how to massage of the face, neck, shoulders, décolleté, hands and feet using fresh lemon, ointments, stones and salves. We cradled the entire body in warm smooth stones, supporting the joints, correcting postural imbalances and removing pain.
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. 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. I highly recommend this E-DVD for therapists whose clients who are shy about removing their clothes. This particular treatment can feel like a âwhole bodyâ treatment, yet the client can keep his/her clothes on. A woman may choose to keep her bra top on and remove her shirt so the therapist can access shoulders and dĂ©colletĂ©.

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. 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 âSpiritual Experienceâ 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.
I wrote the manual and developed the instructional companion video to teach students how to create healing stone layouts, gridding protocols and practice gliding, spinning, edging and flipping techniques designed to calm the central nervous system, improve systemic detoxification, and impart a peaceful glowing energy. My method is unique and different because I apply time-proven Ayurvedic, scientific modalities and theories that direct energy towards the âterminal endsâ of the body and work with the chakra system combined with deep tissue effleurage. My stone placements are designed to enliven the âearth-boundâ chakras, activate the natural healing intelligence of the body, awaken prana (life force), renewing the sweetness of life.
Using heated and chilled mineral composites of granite, feldspar, quartz and magnetite, this treatment integrates traditional massage techniques, creatively blending science, physiology, anatomy, medicine and modern-day therapeutic touch with spirit. Itâs a very holistic and comprehensive way to perform hot stone therapy. Classes in Rhode Island include a beautiful guided sacred stone harvest and ceremony. Stones are free in my Newport classes.
Students can find directions for how to harvest their own stones at local rivers and beaches in the manual. The section of the manual shows photos the sizes, shapes of each stone and identifies the stones that are specific for each body part. Itâs ok to use stones you have collected on your own prior to this E-DVD if their shapes and sizes align with the photos in the manual. If you donât live near a river or beach to harvest your own stones, visit this link to purchase a set from me. When a student purchases a set of Sacred Stone from me, I meditate and pray as I repeat your name to align with your energy. Once I feel the alignment, I am guided directly to the stones that want to be with you to do this beautiful healing work. It helps if you email a photo of yourself or friend me on Facebook to I can see your photo so make sure you receive the exact stones that want to be with you.
