Komala Lyra
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.
SCHEDULE
These retreats combine daily treatments with a basic consultation, morning Tantra Yoga class, gourmet vegetarian meals, and meditation.
Please, book in advance, on an individual basis, for a program including a series of sessions, or as part of Cleansing and Rejuvenation Retreats lasting 4 or 8 days.
For more details and schedule, please go to REJUVENATION RETREAT page.
LOCATION
Individual retreats and sessions are available in Ibiza, Spain, during the dates assigned in the CALENDAR page.
I have lived in this enchanting island during my early twenties, and lately, it has been my home since 2002. It is the place where Earth talks to me.
I enjoy its beauty, the vastness of turquoise waters, a cozy fireplace lit inside a thick stone-walls' house, the smell of ripe figs, the grace of almond blossoms... The sunset light is magic, and the Meditarranean Sea is soothing.
AKASHA HERITAGE QUANTUM TEMPLE is an elegant, luxurious, inspiring space, created with absolute care to invoke a magic atmosphere.
The beauty of nature combined with stylish design offers a magnificent place to relax, reset, and be nourished. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLAuxo4Jwbw

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.
This ritual enhances chakra sensitivity, through energetic touch on marma points, sounds, colorlights, aromatherapy, precious stones, and inner silence.
