What Is Sacred Stone Therapy?
"Stones are alive, but they are in a sweet coma...." Dr. Vasant Lad
Karyn Chabot, D.Ay, LMT cognized Sacred Stone Massage Therapy in 1999 off the shores of Rhode Island and was the first to bring this beautiful therapy to the East Coast. She coined the phrase, "Hot Stone Massage", which is now used in most spas around the world. Many others started doing and teaching Hot Stone Massage, which gave rise to many new versions of her original therapy. In order to preserve it's authenticity, Karyn re-named it Sacred Stone Therapy. As the inventor of this therapy, Karyn trained over 1,000 Sacred Stone Therapists and is one of the leading continuing education providers for licensed massage therapists and healers. Sacred Stone Therapy integrates heated and chilled sea stones into traditional massage therapy, based on ancient Ayurvedic principles.
This course addresses how to integrate heated and chilled stones into most forms of bodywork, including sports massage, deep tissue, energy healing, reiki, thai massage, facials and so much more. It is a balance a perfect blend of spiritual and very scientific therapies, enlivening your training in anatomy, physiology and intuitive healing. Warm, textured, velvety sea stones are laid under, around and on top of the client in the beginning, then, each part of the body receives traditional massage using warm, aromatic oils. Heated stones are glided along the muscles to iron out tension and provide a deep release. The texture of some stones can be gently exfoliating. Chilled stones are glided around the face, alternated with warm stones to create a rosy glow. Warm, flat, sea stones are laid upon the spine as the back of the legs are massaged.
The techniques have been thoughtfully designed to bring the body, mind and soul back into balance and renew the sweetness of life in a world where people are driving while eating their lunch. Sacred Stone Therapy is anxiety-reducing, nurturing, healing and restorative. Each session lasts about 75 minutes. Therapists can charge anywhere between $90-$150 for this therapy, depending on the socioeconomic status of the area, and the experience and credentials of the therapist.
The book has many detailed pictures, very extensive, comprehensive and the content is very easy to apply to your practice. The "Classroom Demo" and "Concepts & Theory" DVDs are also very comprehensive and simple to follow.
