Body Work In Sedona

Acupuncture
Based on principles established in Traditional Chinese Medicine over two thousand years ago, this session involves a half hour assessment of health, followed by the application of traditional needles using sacred geometry to enhance the flow of Chi (life force) in your body.

Aromatherapy Massage
Pure essential oils are selected for your body's individual needs and applied with a gentle therapeutic massage. This relaxing full body massage will help to restore the balance of mind and body.

Colon Hydrotherapy
During this safe, gentle treatment warm filtered water is infused into the rectum without chemicals or drugs. This is a restorative and painless procedure that is highly effective. Colonics cleanses the entire colon of built up and aged waste without causing stress to the individual. It helps remove stagnant fecal matter, thus eliminating bacteria, toxins, gas, mucus, parasites, and cellular debris. The colon then performs its natural function of absorption more effectively.

Deep Tissue Massage
This massage technique focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue. It aims to release the chronic patterns of tension in the body through slow strokes and deep finger pressure on the contracted areas, either following or going across the fibers of the muscles, tendons and fascia.

Hot Stone Massage
This is our most popular body treatment. The practitioner will begin with either deep tissue or Swedish massage techniques to release tension deep in the body, then finish by using smooth, dark river stones prepared with hot oil.  Sometimes the practitioner will incorporate cold stones and may "click" the stones to invite vibrational healing frequencies.

Hydrating Wrap, Light Massage & Energy Work
This session begins with a dry brush technique to stimulate the lymphatic system and detox the entire body. The dry brush also sloughs off dead skin and stimulates the circulatory system. After this "cleansing" process the body is re-hydrated with essential oils and Shea butter, and warm towels are wrapped around you in a warm, nurturing "cocoon." The session ends with a guided meditation and energy work.

Hydrotherapy
The element of water has always been symbolic of cleansing and renewal. Warm towels and aromatherapy can be very relaxing. This session may include massage or steaming, along with other modalities that incorporate the element of water.

Hypnotherapy
This involves achieving a psychological state of awareness that is different from the ordinary state of consciousness. While in a hypnotic state, a variety of phenomena can occur. Hypnotherapy is used for non-medical patients as well as those who wish to overcome bad habits. Hypnotherapy has been found to be beneficial for problems such as motivation, procrastination, decision making, personal achievement and development, job performance, buried or repressed memories, relaxation and stress management.

Iridology
Iridology allows you to peek inside your body through the windows of your soul. The eye reveals the overall health of your body, and can map changes that take place in the body over time. Chart your progress during detoxification and rejuvenation programs with this non-invasive technique.

Kabido Facial Massage
This traditional Japanese facial massage is truly a unique experience focusing not only on improving facial appearance and balancing Ki (bioelectricity), it also improves one's physical, spiritual and emotional balance using only completely organic skin care products. Neck, head, ear, and shoulder massage is included.

Myofacial Massage
Myofascial Release is a very effective technique that provides sustained pressure to eliminate persistent pain and restore a full range of motion. In the normal healthy state, the fascia is relaxed and wavy in configuration. It has the ability to stretch and move without restriction. However, when we experience physical trauma, scarring or inflammation, the fascia loses its pliability. It becomes tight, restricted and a source of tension to the rest of the body. Trauma such as a fall, whiplash, surgery, or habitual poor posture over time can have a cumulative effect. This treatment restores a sense of wellness and relaxes the fascia for optimum health.

Reflexology
The earliest form of reflexology originated in China as much as 5000 years ago, and variations were practiced in ancient cultures from Egypt to Native America.  Acupressure techniques are performed on reflex points of the feet. This stimulates organ systems in the body, clearing out congestion to restore normal function and health.

Rejuvenation Facial
This session focuses on letting go of the stress that often manifests itself via the skin. A healthy glow of the epidermis results as old skin is sloughed off and new positive energies are called in to re-program stale, unhealthy patterns. Quality peels and hydration products are incorporated.

Sedona Experience Massage
Relax and open your heart as you melt into this delicious full body massage.  Smooth movements of Swedish massage are combined with deep therapeutic massage techniques to help to clear energy fields, thus allowing you to let go. Tapping into the subtle body field results in renewal and re-balancing. This is a massage you won"t forget!

Subtle Body Illumination & Massage
A unique blend of bodywork for awakening the subtle energies through the perspective of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and western massage modalities. You will become more aware of the meridians or energy lines that encompass the body. Some of these modalities include CranioSacral (for the nervous system), deep breathing exercises (respiratory), Tu'Na (work for the body's Qi or life force), and myoskeletal deep tissue (muscular).

Swedish Massage
The term "Swedish Massage" refers to a variety of techniques specifically designed to relax muscles by applying pressure to them against deeper muscles and bones, and rubbing in the same direction as the flow of blood returning to the heart. The main purpose of Swedish massage is to increase the oxygen flow in the blood and release toxins from the muscles.

The Ultimate Sedona Massage
Our signature bodywork treatment begins with a gemstone (Chakra) polarity balancing blending into a personalized combination of Swedish, Therapeutic, and Deep Tissue with hot rocks and cool marble stone highlights.

Women's Issues Massage
This massage focuses on women's issues. Emphasis is given to areas of special concern such as menstrual cycle, hysterectomy, C section, ovary or uterine issues, and reproductive organs. Other concerns may involve the mammary glands, and menopausal symptoms. Traumas related to women's issues are addressed and medical intuitive information is shared.

Introduction To Living Foods
During this session you will learn more about living foods and how a diet of raw juices and foods can increase your vitality, well-being and overall health. You will enjoy a fresh juice and your practitioner will provide menus to use in the future.

Journey To New Frontiers
During this session our nutritional therapist will work with you to initiate healthy changes in your diet that are simple yet, effective.  Then you will go shopping for whole foods at Sedona's local health food store.  

Nutritional Consultation
You are what you eat!  This session involves an in-depth exploration of your current dietary habits, lifestyle and goals.  Working with a nutritional expert the emphasis will be placed on proper methods of detoxing or cleansing the body with healthy foods.  To facilitate your cleanse, you will receive a tips and recipes for use when you return home.

 

 

Spiritual Work In Sedona

Akashic Records Integration
In the mystical philosophies of India, "Akasha" literally means SKY. It also means space which distinguishes it from the sky directly overhead and the space existing throughout our galaxy. This place has been known by many names throughout the ancient traditions of India, Egypt, and China; in the religious traditions of Islam, Judaism, and Christianity; and in many indigenous cultures around the world. In modern times the term "Akashic Records" is most often associated with the works of Edgar Cayce.

Alchemical Self-Empowerment
Learn to use the simple and effective "Mirror Method" to transform unwanted experiences into golden experiences.  This method teaches you to rest in your true place of Creator/Creatix of your world.

Calling In The Soul Mate
This session is a beautiful Ceremony that takes you into a space of understanding and awareness that enables you to connect with the Mate who awaits you. The journey is one that creates an inner trust in self as well elevates you into a great understanding of what it is you search for and desire. The space that is opened up during the Ceremony allows each person to experience a new beginning and a wonderful letting go of the past relationships. We tend to believe that love has its limits but the truth is that the only limit that love really has is understanding. When we raise our level of understanding it opens new doors and permits our true love to enter.

Circle Integration
Looking for wisdom and insight into the self?  In this session you can explore any questionable areas of your life. You will be guided to meet your own inner wisdom, and connect with it to make realistic decisions.   Align and integrate this new wisdom to establish wholeness, thus empowering you and your life.

Divine Essence Astrology
This session will help you understand the orbs of energetic potential captured at the moment of your birth and provide you guidance on the embodiment of the Highest Expression of your Divine Essence.  Astrology readings serve as snapshots of the exact location of the planets at the time of your birth. Based on your unique birth information, your astrology reading will examine the effect that the planets and their interactions have on your life. These readings use simple text to not only tell you the position of the planets in your natal chart, but to thoroughly explain what each of these positions can mean to you.

DNA / Light Body Activation
This procedure is for people who are already on a spiritual path, and want to understand more about their personal gifts. Often, our gifts are passed through our lineages. There are three lineages - the genetic heritage (parents and other ancestors); the spiritual lineage (belief systems from this and other lifetimes); and the lifeline lineage (lessons and patterns from this and other lives). This session assists people to activate the wisdom from each lineage, and heal and release the patterns and karmic lessons from other lives.

Empowerment Tools of the Inner Journey
Are you ready to become the Master of your life?  This session will teach you a powerful set of techniques to break though blocked energy, alleviate stress and stay centered.  The session includes tools in which you can incorporate into your daily routine to break through destructive thought patterns.

Horse Medicine, Human Spirit
This amazing session is not offered anywhere else.  It's hands-on as an expert horse whisperer guides you on a life-transforming journey with horses into a space of deeper self-awareness. We provide a safe environment where our horses can freely interact with you, empowering you to reflect on your own behaviors, reactions, limitations and boundaries.  The horse becomes the therapist by acting as mirror for whatever energy you bring to the session.  No experience with horses is necessary. This is a profound experience you will never forget.

Hypnotherapy
This involves achieving a psychological state of awareness that is different from the ordinary state of consciousness. While in a hypnotic state, a variety of phenomena can occur.

Intensive Breathwork: Letting Go
This is a safe and simple way to trigger experiences of non-ordinary consciousness that open you to psychic depths and spiritual understanding. Lost memories from your personal history, experiences from your birth, and archetypal and cosmic phenomena can become available to you through awareness, helping you transcend the constraints of your ordinary thoughts and habits.

Jungian Sand Play
During a challenging time in his life Carl Jung spent many months at the lakeside building elaborate worlds in the sand, allowing his imagination to bring consciousness to the struggles he was facing. In this spirit, a tray of sand and shelves of miniature figures representing all aspects of life are available for your imaginative journey. Creating a temenos or sacred space for inner alchemy and transformation you are invited to express and heal beyond words and intellect.  Similar to native sand painting, your sand creation centers you in the healing symbols which bring meaning and a greater sense of wholeness, integration and connection to the Self.

Seeds of Wisdom (I-Ching)
This session incorporates the ancient I-Ching and breathwork. Healing Seeds are used to discover aspects of self related to the elements, such as earth, water, fire, wind, thunder, etc. The I-Ching hexagram provides information for interpretation and guidance for personal, emotional, and life issues. A breath form is then presented.

Spiritual Awakening
Spiritual Awakening deals with deepening your connection to God/Source/Spirit, and working with you at your Soul level to explore the question of why you are here?  What are your lessons?  What is your purpose?  Get in touch with you at your center, the Source of who you are, by bridging the outer world with the inner.

Subtle Body Illumination & Massage
A unique blend of bodywork for awakening the subtle energies through the perspective of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and western massage modalities.

Tap Into the Abundance Vibration
This is a four-part system including discussion, writing, and meditation intended to help you clear through the mental constraints that have been blocking the abundance that is your Divine birthright. This session is to help manifest your signature strengths, life purpose, and ideal lifestyle.

Tarot Reading
This session involves divination using a set of 78 cards which carry pictures and symbols used to connect the diviner with the collective unconscious. The cards can be used to determine the past, present and future of an event or person and can become powerful tools in magical workings and rituals. The Tarot is divided into the 22 Major Arcana or Trump cards that depict dominant occurrences and the 56 Minor Arcana or Suit cards that assist in fleshing out the situations indicated by the Trump Cards, or indicate smaller occurrences.

Way Of The Peaceful Warrior
Awaken your ancestral memories and celebrate your connection to the Earth.  This session takes place on the land, where you will explore the laws of relationship.  These laws apply to everyone, whether you are conscious of them or not.  Learn how the Native American ("People of Peace" in their language) create harmony and balance in their lives by cultivating gentleness and gratitude.

 
 

Emotional Healing In Sedona

Acupuncture
Based on principles established in Traditional Chinese Medicine over two thousand years ago, this session involves a half hour assessment of health, followed by the application of traditional needles using sacred geometry to enhance the flow of Chi (life force) in your body.

Breaking Old Belief Patterns
In this session you will learn how belief systems are the "instructions" you have in your subconscious mind which determine all aspects of your life, similar to the way computer software determines what a computer will do. Many of these beliefs were formed early in childhood and some have not been updated to a healthy adult viewpoint, which can be the root cause of numerous problems. By looking at the patterns in your life, you learn to recognize your unconscious belief systems and how they actually affect your life. Once the belief is found, it is released and it looses its power over you and your life!

Cord Cutting
This session requires that you open your heart and forgive. When you forgive, you become free. You are corded to every person who's ever been significant in your life. Often those cords become painful and create negative energy. Through the Hawaiian technique of Ho O Pono Pono, you can gently sever those cords, sending the person's energy back to them and taking yours back into yourself. Then, if appropriate (if you choose to continue a relationship with that person), the cords will reform on a fresh and (with your proper intention) more positive basis. Your relationship with another person must be empowering to both of you for it to be healthy. Through the power of letting go and forgiving you can go on with your life feeling whole and complete.

Dealing With Co-Dependency
Co-dependency involves habitual self-destructive behavior, supported by an enabling partner.  We frequently react to people who are destroying themselves by learning to destroy ourselves. These self-perpetuating habits can keep us enslaved in destructive relationships that don't work, or result in sabotaging relationships that may have otherwise been successful -- preventing us from finding peace and happiness with the most important person in our lives, ourselves.

Emotional Clearing
This session is designed to energetically remove and lift years of emotional damage: clearing, balancing, realigning and repairing the energy body -- then activating, awakening, empowering, and opening doorways to new talents.

Emotional Shadowing
Used to release the most profound emotional traumas, this unique session involves an intense one-on-one "shadowing" to awaken memory in all your cells. Pain and anguish will diminish as the therapist takes you to deeper levels of both the conscious and subconscious mind. This session involves holding, moving, rocking, and cradling.  Continuous contact between you and the therapist assures the necessary feeling of safety.  Her complete presence enables you to literally walk back into traumatic events or phases of your life and let go of the pain.

Family Constellation Therapy
This remarkable healing process opens the doorway to transcend grief and transform your life.  You will be gently guided to experience the hidden dynamics of your own family system.  Underlying entanglements and unhealthy subconscious bonding can then be released, giving you a chance for forgiveness, a profound sense of freedom and inner peace.

Grieving Process: Honoring Yourself 
As we experience the loss of loved ones in our lives, we begin to learn that by recognizing our pain and the grieving process, we are acknowledging the depth of our love. If we did not have the capacity to love, we would not feel the hurt. Grief is also a beautiful way to honor those who are deceased. This session is about learning to cope during this time and to focus on the joyful memories we hold dear.

Horse Medicine, Human Spirit
This amazing session is not offered anywhere else.  It's hands-on as an expert horse whisperer guides you on a life-transforming journey with horses into a space of deeper self-awareness. We provide a safe environment where our horses can freely interact with you, empowering you to reflect on your own behaviors, reactions, limitations and boundaries.  The horse becomes the therapist by acting as mirror for whatever energy you bring to the session.  No experience with horses is necessary. This is a profound experience you will never forget.

Energy Work In Sedona

Acupuncture
Based on principles established in Traditional Chinese Medicine over two thousand years ago, this session involves a half hour assessment of health, followed by the application of traditional needles using sacred geometry to enhance the flow of Chi (life force) in your body.

Analysis of the Energy Body - Aural Photography
The Aura is an electromagnetic energy field formed by subtle color radiances which surround the body of a human being. Each color signifies a certain vibration, which has different meanings. We all have an aura that extend out of our body. This session allows biofeedback probes to pick up your energy field. The camera displays this information as a colorful field around your body. When doing interactive aura display every second the display is updated according to the information coming in from the measurement unit. This enables one to experience directly energetic phenomena and use this for therapeutic means or the adjustment of personal vibrations. A 23-page analysis is given to you to take home.

Balancing The Energy Body - Chakra Activation
Revitalize and restore your natural energy flow with this healing session. When you are stressed about something, your energy flow can become unbalanced, which in turn manifests itself as illness in your physical or  emotional body. To become healthy and clear again, this energy flow needs to be rebalanced.

Color Vibrational Reading
Humans naturally respond to the vibration of light, which can help free us of clogged energy.  The history of color has its roots in ancient Egypt.  A therapist trained in the uses of color can balance energy wherever our bodies are lacking, be it physical, emotional, spiritual, or mental. During this session you will get a picture of who you are and what your purpose is.

Feng Shui Your Life
In this session you will learn the basics principles and applications of Feng Shui, the ancient Chinese art of placement.  You will deepen and solidify the transformative changes of your inner healing work by learning and applying the knowledge of balancing your environment with the five elements: Fire, Metal, Water, Wood, and Earth. If you feel like you have been working very hard on your healing process and the shifts you make only last so long, or you want to bypass unnecessary extra effort on your path, then this might be the missing piece in your healing puzzle.  Put this ancient Eastern wisdom to work in your home and be delighted by the ease and permanence of positive changes in your life.

Healing the Energy Body - Reiki
Reiki translates to "universal life energy." Sessions involve laying-on of hands to the clothed body, infusing you with life force energy which is used by the body for relaxation, stress reduction, healing, or spiritual expansion.

Sound Therapy
The practitioner gently invites stuck energy to vibrate again, or over-stimulated energy to explore stillness. Over time, the system finds balance between the two by being able to move through the entire range of possibilities easily. Resonance works on the principle that like attracts like. When the C string of a harp or piano is struck, all the other octave strings of C begin to vibrate because they are in resonance with one another. The different parts of our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual being resonate to various frequencies of vibration. This is the experience of not only health and vitality, but expansion, transformation of consciousness, and eventually, transcendence.

Subtle Body Illumination & Massage
A unique blend of bodywork for awakening the subtle energies through the perspective of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and western massage modalities. You will become more aware of the meridians or energy lines that encompass the body. Some of these modalities include CranioSacral (for the nervous system), deep breathing exercises (respiratory), Tu'Na (work for the body's Qi or life force), and myoskeletal deep tissue (muscular).

Thai Massage
Revitalize your body and increase your energy flow!  It is believed that Jivaka Kumar Bhaccha, the physician to Buddha, developed Thai massage more than 2,500 years ago in India.  It then made its way to Thailand, where the Ayurvedic techniques and principles were gradually influenced by traditional Chinese medicine. Thai massage is more energizing and rigorous than more classic forms of massage. Thai massage is also called Thai yoga massage, because the therapist uses his or her hands, knees, legs, and feet to move you into a series of yoga-like stretches. Many people say Thai massage is like doing yoga without any work. Muscle compression, joint mobilization, and acupressure are also used during treatment.

Tuina Massage & Energy Work 
Tuina (Tui Na) is an Oriental Bodywork Therapy that has been used in China for 2,000 years. Tuina (Tui Na) uses the traditional Chinese medical theory of the flow of Qi through the meridians as its basic therapeutic orientation. Through the application of massage and acupressure techniques, Tuina (Tui Na) seeks to establish a more harmonious flow of Qi through the system of channels and collaterals, allowing the body the naturally heal itself.

Learn to Meditate  - Guided Meditation Sessions
Over the last 30 years modern science has finally begun to recognize and catalog the enormous health benefits of daily meditation.  Because the mind and body are intimately connected, when the mind settles down, so does the body.  Meditation has been scientifically proven to reduce both heart rate and blood pressure, in addition to normalizing sleeping and eating habits.  Those who meditate report increased levels of self-esteem, energy, and creativity, improved focus and concentration, AND a greater overall sense of well-being.  Best of all, anyone can learn to meditate.  And once you know how all of these benefits can be yours absolutely FREE -- for the rest of your life!  During this session you will be guided through a tranquil journey using sound and crystal bowls, allowing you to move to a deep place of stillness and rhythm within yourself.

Hatha Yoga
The word Hatha is a compound of the words Ha and Tha meaning sun and moon.  Hatha Yoga is what most people in the West associate with the word "Yoga" and it is widely practiced for mental and physical health throughout the West.  It is considered to be a preparatory stage of physical purification that renders the body fit for the practice of higher meditation.  The postures of Hatha Yoga work with the energy channels of the subtle body that must be fully operational to attain a state of enlightenment. It is a strong practice done for purification.

Kundalini Yoga
Introduced to the United States in 1969, Kundalini Yoga is relatively new to the West.  Sometimes called the "yoga of awareness," its focuses on energy centers (known as chakras) within the physical body in order to stimulate the spiritual and creative potential that exists within every human being. Spiritual power (known as Kundalini), is conceptualized as a coiled serpent lying at the base of the spine.  This energy can be stimulated and awakened through the practice of yoga, then moved upward to the higher chakras, giving the practitioner enhanced mental clarity and creativity.  Kundalini Yoga activates the energy that resides in the spine by activating the nerve channels that are intertwined there.

Vinyasa Yoga
In vinyasa yoga the focus is on creating a sequence of asanas that allows each posture to transition gracefully into the next.  The whole practice is defined by six specific postures, always done in the same order, combined with specific breathing patterns.  This is a physically active form of yoga, the purpose of which is to create heat in the body, leading to purification of through increased circulation and sweating. 

Yoga Hike
Yoga is aimed to unite the mind, the body, and the spirit. Yogis view that the mind and the body are one, and that if it is given the right tools and taken to the right environment, it can find harmony and heal itself. Yoga therefore is considered therapeutic. It helps you become more aware of your body's posture, alignment and patterns of movement. It makes the body more flexible and helps you relax even in the midst of a high stress environment. Yoga on the red rocks can be a powerful experience.

 

 

Sedona Shamanic Journey

Awakening Through Movement
Discover the Shamanic pathway to break through your old limitations.  During this powerful session a conscious connected breathing and movement technique is used to clear limiting beliefs, which inhibit the free flow of pleasure, ease, and grace in the body. Breath inhalation is an invitation of love, light, and spirit into the body and exhalation is a release of its opposites -- fear, shadow and density. Movement is also used to awaken and activate every cell in the body, leaving you more alive than ever before!

Cord Cutting
This session requires that you open your heart and forgive. When you forgive, you become free. You are corded to every person who's ever been significant in your life. Often those cords become painful and create negative energy. Through the Hawaiian technique of Ho O Pono Pono, you can gently sever those cords, sending the person's energy back to them and taking yours back into yourself. Then, if appropriate (if you choose to continue a relationship with that person), the cords will reform on a fresh and (with your proper intention) more positive basis. Your relationship with another person must be empowering to both of you for it to be healthy. Through the power of letting go and forgiving you can go on with your life feeling whole and complete.

Dreamtime Healing Journey
Aligning with the powerful earth energies of Sedona, you enter dreamtime, an infinite, ever present field of wisdom and spiritual healing power. This sacred dimension is invoked as we listen deeply to your dream images and the voices  which are calling for transformation. You are then guided, to the beat of the drum, on an imaginal journey to retrieve lost soul pieces while shamanic sound medicine is used to cleanse and re-balance your luminous energy body. Returning from your journey, the earth energies of the sand tray assist in grounding your experience. Similar to native sand painting, your sand creation centers you in the divine archetypes which bring meaning and a greater sense of wholeness, integration and connection to the Self. This session may also be done without dream work.

Drum Ceremony

We provide a safe environment where our horses can freely interact with you, empowering you to reflect on your own behaviors, reactions, limitations and boundaries.  The horse becomes the therapist by acting as mirror for whatever energy you bring to the session.  No experience with horses is necessary. This is a profound experience you will never forget.

Medicine Wheel Ceremony
A Medicine Wheel is a physical manifestation of Spiritual energy, an outward expression of an internal dialogue. It is a mirror in which we can better SEE what is going on within us. It is a wheel of protection and enables us to gather surrounding energies into a focal point and to commune with Spirit, Self and Nature (ALL elemental forces)........Creation! It helps us with our "Vision," to see exactly where we are and in which areas we need to develop in order to realize and become our potentials.

HeartFlame Activation
This Shamanic ceremony creates a pathway of un-conditional love and light toward one's self and all existence. Using vibrational medicine, which includes, sound, voice, crystals, oils and herbs, you will feel the essence of your soul and come into the remembrance of your divinity.

Releasing Ceremony
In our lives we encounter issues and trauma that we internalize. The stress and emotional baggage that we carry due to this pain can cause disease and anxiety. It is a constant stress on the psyche and body. In this session you will be guided to release and "let go" of those unwanted weights. Don't let the story become more real than the present.

Flute Odyssey
This session features renowned artist and musician, Jesse Kalu who has been playing his own home-made bamboo flutes for over 30 years. His melodies come from the heart, and touch his audiences in unique ways. Each flute has its name & song. He will take you to a sacred place and introduce you to a land meditation. Emanating through his hand-crafted flutes, are the wildlife calls of doves, quails, loons, hawks, owls, seagulls, dolphins, whales, coyotes, wolves.

Shamanic Journey
Shamanism is about being connected with nature, understanding that we are earth-based, the real and living knowledge of which is then used for balance, health, relationships, and success in all that we do. Shamanism is one of the oldest tribal healing traditions of indigenous people, which can be found in many different cultures worldwide. The one thing they have in common is communication and interaction with the spirit world. It is the oldest way in which human race has sought connection with Creation. 

Shamanic Journey Through Breath, Movement & Sound
Experience the liberating power of authentic movement and self-expression. Discover the Shamanic pathway to break through old limitations and unveil the ecstatic beauty and wisdom of who you really are.  During this powerful session, conscious, connected breathing and movement is used to clear limiting beliefs which inhibit the free flow of pleasure, ease and grace in the body. Movement is  used to deepen your direct connection to and respect for the innate body wisdom and awaken and activate every cell in the body, leaving you more alive than ever before!

Soul Retrieval
"Lost parts" or "Soul Pieces" are aspects of yourself that were once whole but became fragmented due to trauma or emotional upheaval.  When the psyche perceives an event as too overwhelming, it seeks to protect you from the full impact by separating part of you away from your main energy system.  The fragmented part then holds the memory of the event and the full emotional impact so that your psyche can continue to function intact.  The price for this protection however is often loss of spirit.  This manifests as being "shut down" or "numb" in some area of your life. In a Soul Recovery session the lost part is retrieved and returned to you so that you can integrate it and become whole again.

Spiritual Awakening
Spiritual Awakening deals with deepening your connection with God/Source/Spirit and working with you at your Soul level, asking the questions and exploring why did you come here?  What are your lessons, challenges?  What is your purpose? How to get in touch with you at your center, the Source of who you are, bridging the outer with the inner.

Sweat Lodge**
Ceremonial saunas have been used for physical revitalization and spiritual renewal in one form or another by people around the world since very ancient times.  In the Native American tradition the ritual includes prayers, drumming, chanting, and offerings to the spirit world.  While there are many different types of Sweat lodge structures and variations of the ceremony, the effect on participants is the same, and there are some universal meanings for Native people; these are physical and spiritual healing, and a holy place for the offering of prayers to the Creator.

**There are several sweat lodges in the area surrounding Sedona.  The sweat lodge is not a private ceremony, does not happen on any set schedule, is not conducted by SpiritQuest, and we assume no liability.  If a sweat lodge is happening during your stay and you are interested in attending, we will be happy to give you directions on how to get there.  We may even be going ourselves!  If you decide to attend, it is traditional to bring food for the meal that takes place after the ceremony, as well as a donation for the time and energy put in by the Native American people who conduct the ceremony.

Way Of The Peaceful Warrior
Awaken your ancestral memories and celebrate your connection to the Earth.  This session takes place on the land, where you will explore the laws of relationship.  These laws apply to everyone, whether you are conscious of them or not.  Learn how the Native American ("People of Peace" in their language) create harmony and balance in their lives by cultivating gentleness and gratitude.
