Blissful Mind (Shirodhara)

Does you mind feel busy and scattered? Do your nerves feel frayed and frazzled? This 60 minute treatment will soothe nerves and bring your mind to a state of meditative bliss.

It will begin with a head, shoulders, neck and face massage with warm herbal oils followed by shirodhara. Shirodhara is a warm, continuous stream of herbal oil poured onto the forehead. This treatment is deeply relaxing and can help to bring more focus to the mind.

The Details:

  • Blissful Mind (shirodhara) is offered in person at Stillpoint in downtown Belfast, Maine.

  • The treatment is done without clothing on a heated massage table with a towel for modesty.  

     

  • THis treatment will start with a gentle oil massage of head, neck, shoulders and face and then move into 25-30 minutes of shirodhara.

  • When the treatment is done, your hair will be extremely oily.  I recommend bringing a hat, bandana or scarf that you don't mind getting oily to cover your head afterwards.

  • I BELIEVE IN ACCESSIBILITY, SO I OFFER A sliding scale of $80-$115 per session. And if you feel that this work would really benefit you, but cost is prohibitive reach out to me kristen@nourishednervoussystem.com
