Head oleation is one of the most beautiful gifts that Ayurveda has bestowed upon humanity.
There is no parallel in any other technique within any other healing science for what is THE most effective practice for working on the mind.
Shirodhara consists of a continuous and gentle flow of warm medicated oil in winter and cool oil in summer onto the point between the eyebrows, which in Ayurvedic physiology corresponds to the point known as STAPNI, the gateway between the material, gross body and the subtle, mental realm.
The therapist oversees everything, ensuring that the flow is undisturbed and continuous, while lovingly maintaining elevated healing vibrations.
Through this stimulation, the entire nervous system is nourished, pacified, and relieved.
It's a marvelous technique for those suffering from mental hyperactivity, anxiety, stress management difficulties, insomnia, mental confusion, and disarray.
Over the course of at least three consecutive sessions, noticeable improvements in one's mental activity and attitude can already be observed.
With continued sessions, deep self-understandings can be reached, openings to one's intuitive potential can occur, and a smoothing and clarification of purpose can be achieved, ultimately leading to a stage of profound tranquility achievable only through meditation.
The first time I received it, I experienced the absence of needs and desires: hunger, thirst, sleep, and various cravings were no longer present, and everything seemed luminous and loving, as it indeed is... It's worth trying at least once in a lifetime: thank you, Ayurveda!
