November Special! RAINDROP TECHNIQUE $5 off 1 ($80) $30 off 3 ($225)

RAINDROP TECHNIQUE

Created in the 1980’s by D. Gary Young, N.D., based on his research with the Lakota Indians, therapeutic grade essential oils are dropped like rain along the spine and then worked into the skin with various light massage techniques. Within moments the oils are absorbed through the skin into the nerves and tissues of the body.

Wonderfully soothing, nurturing, and relaxing, Raindrop Technique can work its benefits in immediate and profound ways with long lasting effects. Deep relaxation, increased energy, enhanced immunity, detoxification, relief of aches and pains, renewed flexibility, postural alignment, a sense of peacefulness and feelings of well being are just some of Raindrop Techique's extraordinary benefits.

Please shower before your session so the essential oils may stay on as long as possible (ideally overnight). Wear or bring clothing that is machine washable, as some residual oils may absorb into your clothing after the session. Plan on drinking 2 or 3 glasses of water after your Raindrop session. The essential oils bring nutrition into your cells and may cause your tissues to release toxins into your blood stream, lymph and skin. The water will facilitate this detoxification process. Schedule a time for your appointment so you can relax afterwards.

Anna Winkler or Debra Bernath are your practitioners.

Friends, please sign up to receive our newsletter directly into your inbox. In case you missed it, here is some of the information:

Namaste Dear Friends,

We've arrived at Vata Season - the Ayurvedic term for the Dosha composed of the two elements Air and Ether. The predominant characteristics of these elements are dryness and coldness. So now is the time to bundle up, oil your skin and eat warm, moist, oily foods - comfort foods! Root vegetables, soups and stews. Dryness creates infection, which leads us into cold and flu season.

A perfect time to try out the Raindrop Technique. This wonderful treatment layers warming and nurturing essential oils on the feet and along the spinal column, with various massage techniques to drive the healing oils deeper into the tissues so they can work their magic ~ oregano, thyme, basil, cypress, wintergreen, marjoram, peppermint and more...

Truly delicious, Raindrop will make you feel fantastic and has helped many to prevent and treat colds and flus.

For the month of November, purchase one Raindrop Technique at the discounted rate of $80 ($5 off) or 3 for $225 ($30 off). Please use in 6 months, though for your own healing purposes, closer together is better: once a month, every two weeks or even once a week, if fighting something off.

Discover how a yoga can make you a better runner. No prior yoga experience necessary!

A yoga practice will help prevent injuries by increasing your flexibility and bringing balance to your body. It will improve your performance by strengthening your whole body. In this workshop we will explore poses that increase range of motion, improve flexibility, and stretch out tight, over-used muscles. We will focus on hamstrings, quadriceps, hips, core and lower back strength, and breath. We will cover alignment principles and modifications that will keep you safe in the studio and on the trail. We will also discuss how to incorporate a regular yoga practice into an existing running routine.

NEW MOON PLANETARY GONG MEDITATION ~ REGISTER
with Maren Good and Michael Ungar

Friday, November 21, 7:30-9pm ~ $20 prepaid, $25 at the door

A gong meditation is a sonic invitation to connect our world with the larger world and offers a moment to experience a greater sense of place in our cosmic home ... a cosmos that at its core is a harmonic and musical universe.

The Planetary gongs represent a natural harmonic series based on the orbital properties of the Sun, the Earth, the Moon and the other planets. Planet Gongs resonate harmonically with the cycles of the cosmos, communicating to us the Music of the Spheres. When sounded, we physically connect to their strength and power. The gongs resonate at a primal, archetypal level.

These beautifully crafted gongs are therapeutic works of art and alchemy and strike a resonance deep within us, drawing forth our own music. They are here to remind us that we are a microcosm reflecting and resonating with the macrocosm. All of their rich and beautiful tones reside within us and can draw us into a deep sense of peace, touching the most profound part of ourselves.

Maren Good is a sound healing practitioner, educator and aromatherapist and has been creating in these fields for 15 years.

Michael Ungar is a jazz musician, composer and audio engineer and, along with his partners, owns and runs Sandblast Productions, a recording studio in NYC.

Maren and Michael have been offering gong meditations for over 8 years, bringing the power of the Paiste Planetary gongs to the community ~ joyfully.
