VIBRATION THERAPIES:

Chi Machine Vibration Plate Reiki Tuning Forks E.O. Sound Massage

What is vibration therapy? NASA uses it to prevent bone loss in Astronauts, professional athletes use it to reduce recovery time- so- it’s got some merit and is worth investigating . As in the case of massage, vibration increases the blood flow which accelerates nutrient exchange, removes metabolic by-products (ah! Detox)

CHI MACHINE

This weird looking device holds your ankles as it ungulates your spine while you lay prone. Testimony: “It felt so weird but then I relaxed into it. I felt so good afterwords, like I had a full body massage, after only 10 minutes.” Use with care because your vertebra are precious, be sure to discuss this vibration therapy with your trusted health professional.

Dr. Chang from Atlantic Spine Center, states: “The intervertebral discs, the stuff between each vertebrae of your spine, have no blood vessels—think of it like a sponge. This motion (from the chi machine) mimics walking and helps massage the disc in a way that it can release waste and inflammatory products and introduce fresh blood and healing proteins into the disc.”

VIBRATION PLATE

Vibration accelerates nutrient exchange and removes metabolic by- products(waste). This action aids in weight loss, fat burn, flexibility, reducing soreness, building strength & decreasing cortisol. The Wellness Lounge has two vibration plates. One w ith a frame that looks like a step machine and a second one that looks like a flying disk. Experience the plates standing still (Most of us enjoy it this way.) or exercise on it. It is interesting that each user experiences the vibration plate differently. Some can even feel where the tension is in their bodies and allow the vibration to relax the tension away.

REIKI and TUNING FORKS

Reiki and Tuning Forks work in the biofield (an energy field that extends several inches beyond the body) and strengthen the body’s ability to heal itself. Several of Dharmas practitioners practice the art of Reiki. Our biofield practitioner, LindaFlor Larsen, can be contacted for more on tuning fork sessions. Owner, Jena Biard, is happy to create a healing session for you that includes tuning forks.

ESSENTIAL OILS (E.O.)

Many people are surprised to learn that everything has a vibrational frequency including our bodies and the food we eat. Which brings us to one of the secrets of the universe: Not only do our bodies have a measurable frequency, but it’s actually possible to raise that frequency for better health.

What does all this have to do with essential oils? Well, for one thing, essential oils have the highest vibrational frequencies of any natural substance. Sound woo woo? Let our Essential Oil expert, Kyla Worthen-Hall guide you. She offers and participates in many events at Dharma, often helping clients with a calibrator that reads their vibration to create a personalized list of the best essential oils.

SOUND

Sound Therapy, like breath, works by activating the parasympathetic nervous system which reduces cortisol, increases alpha waves and antibody production. Studies have shown the tissue experiences a deep massage effect from sound. Don’t take our word for it, experience it for yourself! Check current schedule.

MASSAGE

The release of endorphins, serotonin and dopamine are common benefits of massage. These neurotransmitters create deep relaxation, reduce heart rate, improve digestion, increase excretion of toxins (this is why you must drink extra water on massage days), reduce pain, enhance immune system, reduce stress, and retard the aging process. Seriously, why aren’t massages mandatory?

Mind-Set Shifting

Dharma offers a long list of things that can help us shift to a healthier mind set. It is estimated in 2021 that there was an increase of anxiety of 50 percent! A study done by Boston College (bc.edu) states that depression has increased 44 percent. The biggest impact was on 18-29 year olds.

What elevates your mood? How do you shift your mind-set when you feel the doldrums coming on? Are you good at keeping them away? Please share in the comments.

Yoga and metal health ………………..uh, did you know yoga’s purpose is to prepare the body for meditation? You already know how beneficial fitness is, in general, for the mindset. Let's dig a bit deeper.

There is an ever-growing list of options in the Studio and The Wellness Lounge, to shift your mind-set. From a gentle restorative yoga class (Sunday’s with Jena at 9A.M.) and metaphysical tools, to 1:1 counseling sessions. The Dharma community is here to support you.

Soul Transformation

Do you recall Hierarchy of Needs from entry level psychology class? The gist of it; we attend to self-actualization when our basic needs are met. Why is self-actualization important? Is it related to soul transformation? Is my soul any of your business?

All these great questions are nudging us toward “enlightenment” and for those of us who are seeking but have no interest in becoming a monks or spending a lengthy amount of time off in a cave, Dharma offers us quality alternatives.

Retail Therapy

All joking aside, ‘shopping’ may not appear to be a wellness modality but when you’re shopping for self-care items, it can change your vibration! The majority of products sold in the lounge are from local sources and most of them are geared toward wellness. Metaphysical tools such as dowsing gems, sage/clearing tools and tarot/oracle cards are available.
