More about hot stone therapy
The use of hot stones has been recorded in history from a long
time ago. By looking at ancient cultures and civilizations we
can see that as humans we have used hot stones for eons. For
heating our homes to sacred rituals. Ancient cultures searched
for stones to build temples and pyramids. We can see these mysterious
structures from Egypt to South America, from Easter Island to
our own Native Americans. Smaller stones have been part of ritual
and ceremony for just as long. They are used to make homes,
and have been made into weapons or used to sharpen them. We
can clearly see how popular quartz crystals have been and even
the non-believer or skeptical wears a birth stone ring as a
symbol of good luck.
Our Native Americans from ancient times have used hot stones
as part of a hot stone massage treatment in their sweat lodge
ceremonies. This is how I first came across hot stone massage
almost twelve years ago. And hence I started getting the understanding
of their use. Not so much as to the application of stones to
the body, but the respect of the grandfather’s stones
as they are called.
In the sweat lodge ceremony, the use of the four elements fire,
water, air and earth in the heating preparation of the stones
for the ritual is a very important part of it. From time to
time grandmother Barrett Eagle Bear would pass a perfectly round
hot stone around the circle for us to rub anywhere we would
have pain or discomfort.
This is the age of evolution, and we have an opportunity to
take and use some of the ancient rituals in our modern day practice.
We should do it with respect and reverence to the stones and
to the people.
Basic Hot Stone Massage Therapy Workshop
LaStone Therapy is one of the fastest growing massage techniques
in today's spas throughout this country and across international
waters. Many people are seeking a connection to "Body-Mind-Soul"
in their everyday life. LaStone Therapy offers a peaceful way
in which to return to ones true nature.
This form of bodywork involves the use of heated and cooled
stones (Thermotherapy) applied to the body in various ways to
bring about relief to stiff and sore muscles. Resulting in alleviation
of chronic and acute problems that many of us deal with on a
daily basis.
Thermotherapy principles are just one of the ways that makes
LaStone Therapy a success. Combining the knowledge of the ancient
ways in this treatment is in my opinion the most effective in
bringing balance back into your life.
LaStone Therapy is a multifaceted technique designed to benefit
client and therapist at once. The therapeutic potential of this
treatment goes beyond measure. The physiological benefits of
alternating hot and cold to the body have long been scientifically
and medically proven.
LaStone Therapy capitalizes on these traditional practices with
a current approach. Basalt and marble stones are the medium
and the hot and cold temperatures are the message. This "vascular
gymnastics" of the circulatory system assists the body
in self-healing. LaStone Therapy administers this principle
with unerring elegance.
