During the retreats with Vasant Swaha there are a number of individual therapy sessions available - for the well-being of body, mind and soul. Here is a brief description of the most important techniques in use, also introducing our therapists.
Ayurvedic Massage
This ancient Indian massage technique was originally used to heal the bodies and minds of warriors after battle.
Vigorous touch stimulates muscles, joints and lymphatic circulation. Special organic oil and powder is applied, combined with deep breathing and stretching. This helps flexibility and the flow of vital energy in the body, resulting in a deep feeling of openness and sensitivity.
Butoh Stretching
Developed by dancers of the Japanese Butoh dance. An intense treatment which realigns the tendons, muscles and bones of the whole body structure. The body is gently manipulated and stretched into different positions, always using awareness of breath as a support. Muscular tension often has an emotional charge, and when this charge is released, the body can regain its flexibility and energy flow.
CranioSacral Therapy
A therapeutic technique using sensitive manipulation to work with the natural self-healing abilities of the body. Through soft and precise touch on the tissues and bones of the head and spine areas, restrictions are detected and released.
CranioSacral therapy can release tensions in the body’s physical and emotional levels, allow acute pain relief, enhance organ function, strengthen the immune system and support a self-corrective process.
Colorpuncture Therapy
A form of healing that involves the focusing of colored light onto acupuncture points and other areas of the body.It offers a unique way to get to the roots of many health complaints.
Colorpuncture therapy uses precisely targeted light treatments to gently relieve pain, unlock information buried in the subconscious and release emotional trauma.
Acupuncture
An ancient and widely recognized healing system from China which uses needles to stimulate certain points along energy channels of the body. This can heal a variety of disorders and supports the energy channels to rebalance the body.
Counseling and Guided Relaxation
By being guided into deep relaxation and silence you regain clarity, which can help to see life in a new perspective. Through acceptance and meditation you realize that most of your so-called problems are simply creations of your own mind.
Hot Stones Massage
A deeply soothing and relaxing form of massage which includes the use of smooth, heated stones. The stones are placed on specific areas of the body where there are blockages. The heat of the stones helps to alleviate muscle inflammation and balances the energy system of the body.
Holistic Massage
Massage is one of the most beneficial ways of keeping the body free from stress and illness. It improves circulation, bringing fresh oxygen and nutrients to the cells of the body. Massage also helps to eliminate toxins, releases muscular tensions and relaxes the body. Relaxing deeply automatically brings an increase in awareness, and the body begins to heal itself on many levels – physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.
Rebirthing
Rebirthing makes use of a conscious breathing technique which allows the body to release physical and emotional tensions and creates an opportunity for the awareness to rise above the body-mind mechanism. This technique expands the energetic flow, bringing more vitality to our lives.
Reiki
A very simple and deeply healing therapy-form which uses the hands as a healing channel for life energy. The touch is very light, sometimes working on an energy level without physical contact.
Zen Shiatsu
Zen Shiatsu is based on the principle that energy flows like water through the body, through pathways similar to rivers and canals. Sometimes the energy flow is disrupted or diminished and we may experience discomfort, such as muscular pain, headaches, digestive disturbances, foggy-headedness, memory loss, stress, anxiety, irritability, and other mental or physical imbalances. Shiatsu can heal these imbalances, leaving the energy flow unobstructed, promoting well-being and relaxation for body and mind.
