HOT STONE RITUAL THERAPY
In this comforting and healing massage, stone of varying sizes and weights are settled comfortably into the body contours on areas that tend to hold tension like the back muscles, abdomen and face. Oiled stones are then used in flowing strokes to relax the whole body. If you are experiencing menatl or physical stress, stone massage can be extremely effective in relaxing both body and mind. The penetrating heat of the stones begins to elicit deep relaxation and almost immediately, soothing the nervous system and melting the effects of stress. |
As a result, irritating toxins are flushed away and the flow of healing nutrients is restored to muscles and other tissues, further aiding the release of tension and pain.
Sessions usually last an hour and a half. The stones are placed first in the hands and on the feet, and are usually placed on the spine starting at the sacrum and going up the neck. When rolled over stones may be placed on your belly, in between your toes and also on your face and neck. |

With stationary stones in place, gliding strokes with oiled stones allow your body to relax even more. You may wish to rest after this session to get the benefit of this deeply nurturing experience.
Aromatherapy is often incorporated into stone massage by applying essential oils to the stones. These therapeutic scents can enhance both relaxation and a sense of well being. There are specials blends to massage into the body, feet, belly and face. |
