It’s said to alleviate pain, stimulate and strengthen the body. It increases oxygen circulation to the cells which creates a more vibrant and healthy cell structure.

Machines are available for purchase and certain studios offer the therapy. The machines vary in size and types. I tried a few machines at the Rudra Yoga Center in Long Beach, CA. I was able to vary the degree of vibration strength and pulse on the machines. It felt different to say the least. Every single inch of my body was vibrating which made holding a conversation very amusing.

I sat on one particular machine that was a comfortable cushioned pad. Then I turned it on. It not only vibrated at different rates from gentle to extreme, but the entire cushion moved up and down. I was lifting off the seat into the air and smacking down against it! I’ll call that one Vibrational Spanking!

They also had electrical therapy machines which are meant to stimulate the nerves and muscles. One piece of equipment reminded me of the Frankenstein movie! The noise sounded very familiar to the machines used to create the monster. The electricity ran up and down two rods that were encased in a glass box.

Overall, I did feel rejuvenated from my day of vibration and electrical therapy. Take a look at the equipment and find out more in this video.

Panchakarma is a pre-treatment used as a part of Ayurveda to cleanse the body of toxins by combining five therapies each designed specifically for the client. Ayurveda has existed for over 2,000 years and originated in India. This therapy acknowledges the union of the body, mind, and spirit to create a balanced individual. A nice side effect is weight loss because your body is naturally balanced and working at its optimal health.

According to this ancient healing system, people are categorized into three body types: kapha, pitta and vata. Each person requires a different diet and lifestyle for optimal health. A practitioner concludes which body type a client is and determines what imbalances, if any, the client is experiencing.

The therapy essentially starts off the client with a clean slate. Herbs and oils are specifically made for each client and is massaged into the body during the therapy. Other treatments include: warm oil poured over the forehead, a sweat treatment, gentle enema, and oil is placed in the nostrils. From then on, the client follows the proper lifestyle and diet for her body type.

Hypnosis Cds

Ayurveda

Return from panchakarma to Spiritual and Alternative Healing

Hypnosis CDs are useful in changing behavior and old programming of your conscious mind that are no longer serving you.

Brainwaves

While you’re the most alert and in peak concentration, you’re in beta brain waves. This is usually the range in which the conscious mind takes over. The hypnotic state occurs in alpha. This range occurs when you’re daydreaming, visualizing, and relaxing. Dream state and meditation occur while in theta. Sleep state occur during the delta range.

In theta healing, I get into theta brain waves in order to remove your limiting beliefs.

Can I make positive changes without hypnosis?

Change is also achieved by repetition of mantras. It’s believed that it takes 21 days for a habit or change to occur. With hypnosis, it may take a one hour session to make a change! Of course each individual is unique and a few sessions may be necessary for some.

Can a hypnotherapist brainwash you?

No. It’s important to know that during a hypnotic state, the client is still aware of what is going on. The hypnotherapist is a facilitator and the client is always in full control. If something is said that doesn’t ring true with the client, he will reject that belief.

Can anybody be hypnotized?

Almost. If you go into the session believing you won’t be hypnotized, then you won’t! You have to be open-minded. This is true for other healing therapies. If a person doesn’t want to be helped, nothing will work.

Benefits of Acupuncture

In our lives we become out of balance. In Chinese medicine, we aim to balance the yin and yang in our bodies. Yin and yang are opposing and complementary forces in all of us. One cannot exist without the other and we’re in perfect harmony when neither is dominating the other. Acupuncture offers many benefits for our bodies. Physical, emotional, and mental ailments including anxiety can be treated. I’ve written additional benefits below.

Fire Cupping

Fire cupping uses cups to create a vacuum effect on acupressure points of the body. Unlike a massage that only pushes down on the skin, fire cupping utilizes the sucking action as well. It treats back, neck, and shoulder pain as well as respiratory diseases. Watch the video below to see how this modality works.

Is Acupuncture painful?

The needles are ultra thin and flexible so it’s nearly painless when the needle enters. Some clients feel tingling, distention, or an electric sensation around the needle or traveling from the needle. I found that I felt the needle more in areas of my body where I had blocked Qi. In other areas, I felt nothing at all.

Is Acupuncture safe?

It is safe when practiced with a licensed acupuncturist using sterile, disposable needles.

How far do the needles enter?

Depending where in the body the needles are inserted, you can expect the needle to enter from ¼ to 1 inch deep.

Benefits of Acupuncture

These are only some of the disorders acupuncture helps: allergies, asthma, constipation, urinary tract infections, arthritis, migraine headaches, insomnia, back pain, neck and shoulder pain, depression, and anxiety.

Watch an interview with a licensed acupuncturist and intern from Emperor’s College in Santa Monica, CA as they explain the benefits of acupuncture and cupping and demonstrate both on a patient.

Panchakarma

Return from Benefits of Acupuncture to Spiritual and Alternative Healing

Ayurveda characterizes bodies into three types (doshas): pitta, vata, and kapha. Each dosha has different characteristics related to the body and mind. When out of balance, disease may occur. It’s important to know your dosha to follow the proper diet to bring your body into balance for optimal health. During the full treatment, your body not only cleanses itself of the toxins, but weight loss is a great side effect!

Here’s a quick rundown of the doshas:

Vata: This body type tends to be slender and has a tendency to worry.

Pitta: Typically the pitta is a medium frame and tends to become angry or irritable.

Kapha: The kapha individual normally has a broad frame and is the least active of all three doshas.

After the body type and imbalances are determined, the panchakarma therapy begins. This cleanses the body of toxins and clears the way for a newly balanced body! Eating natural foods is the best option always.
