Program
The expert Ayurveda doctor will welcome you to the unique Ayurveda Spa and after an initial Ayurvedic consultation, you will be experiencing the healing effects of the included Ayurveda treatments. The benefits vary and treatments will also be adjusted to your specific requirements. Learn more about the amazing effects of Ayurveda here.
The experienced Reiki master, with her gifted healing hands, will guide you into the feel of energy flow in you. Reiki allows, through the transfer of universal energy, to relax and in some cases to treat and cure illness. Healing and Reiki in combination transfers the vital energy to help stabilize physical and emotional disorder.
What is Reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by “laying on hands” and is based on the idea that an unseen “life force energy” flows through you and is what causes you to be alive.
If one’s “life force energy” is low, then you are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, you are more capable of being happy and healthy. The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means “God’s wisdom or the higher power” and Ki which is “life force energy”. So Reiki is actually “spiritually guided life force energy.”
A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind, and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security, and wellbeing. Many have reported miraculous results.
Reiki is a simple, natural, and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady and always creates a beneficial effect. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.
