Abhyanga Seminar With Colleen Fraser and Jacinta Mousset-Jones
|
What is Abyanga?
Abhyanga is the Sanskrit word for oil massage given to
the entire body, head to toe using oils most suited to individual needs. Although
this Ayurvedic routine takes only about 1/2 hour. When it is performed
habitually the results are multi-dimensional, for example the skin becomes more lustrous,
physical and psychological tensions are eased through the warmth
of touch and one feels protected, calm and grounded.
Over time, Abhyanga’s
benefits include awareness, resolve of our negative karmas and deep emotional
issues. Gradually, the spirit can be restored to its original state of freedom
and lightness and we evolve.
Overall, the Abhyanga is satisfying when done alone or with two practitioners. Like yoga,
the benefits must be experienced.
Effects & Benefits
Abhyanga nourishes the skin and gradually the tissues beneath. With habitual use of Theraputic Ayurvedic massage, each of the dhatus is nourished, oleated and replenished. "Dhatus" are the 7 body tissue levels that create structure and provide for psycological functions.
What will we learn?
The seminar will include both theory and hands-on practical training in the art of Abhyanga. This program is designed for both therapists and laypersons wanting to perform this treatment with knowledge and finesse in order to assist others and themselves in their path to good health.
