Ayurveda Mandala Rituals
AYURVEDA MANDALA RITUALS are transformative experiences, based in the understanding of energetic intelligence and ancient practices applied to modern lifestyle.
Each treatment combines touch, scents, sound & silence to enliven and integrate the flow of the 5 Elements according to personal needs.
My approach is personal, caring, unique, using each interaction as an opportunity to intensify presence, and tune into the mystery of life. The sessions starts with an invocation and, at the end, there is a silent time for integration.
These rituals are also offered by other practitioners who have been trained with me for several years, and excell in their own skills. They have their own practice in different locations (see LINKS) and collaborate as a team during Cleansing & Rejuvenation Retreats. Without their dedication these rituals could not be offered.
All products used are organic/wildcrafted, and chosen from ethical sources.

The chakra system works as a messenger between our inner and outer environments.
Much like a transmitter station, each chakra is constantly receiving and radiating life force, thus generating invisible vibrational webs inside the body and around it.
When the chakra system is open and interconnected, like rivers of aliveness, this flow of energetic information nourishes our physical and subtle bodies. Thus, we have rich resources to respond to life, and naturally trust our intuitive intelligence.
On the other side, when emotional/mental leftovers are veiling the radiance of the chakras, inner confidence and guidance decrease, health issues may arise.

The anatomic structure of the spinal chord is not only fundamental to our physical agility, but also to our mental and emotional expression. It is a vital link between the body and the brain, between irigated by 31 pairs of motor and sensory nerves, which feed the energetic vibrance of all organs.
