Shirodhara: Sacred Oil Meditation: For Clearing the chakras: Book Your Shirodhara Treatment : Call +919825463394
Ayurveda’s main aim is to enhance and preserve the wisdom of every cell throughout our journey in life. Shirodhara truly honors the body as a sacred temple and a vehicle for the divine spirit within, allowing us to honor our life light.
Shirodhara aims to clear and rebalance the two head chakras - the brow chakra and the crown chakra - and their corresponding physical counterparts, the pituitary and pineal glands. The brow chakra - which is also called the third eye - is situated in the middle of the forehead, slightly above the gap in between the eyebrows. In the Hindu religion, this is the spot where Shiva, the God of destruction and renewal, bears on his forehead a mystical third eye which once opened leads into the inner realms of higher spirituality.
The crown chakra, often described as a lotus flower with a thousand petals, is the seat of the highest divine consciousness. It is situated four finger breadths away from the crown of the head. This is where Shiva as the omniscient master of yoga resides in complete oneness with his soul. It is the place of absolute stillness, where mind, body and spirit unite and enlightenment happens. In Eastern traditions, the mind is likened to a budding flower waiting to open. The warm flow of shirodhara stimulates the crown chakra and gently opens up the thousand petalled lotus nestled into the dark pools of our minds.
Physical realm
On the physical plane, the brow and crown chakras are part of what modern medicine calls the endocrine system, a network of glands, which secrete hormones that regulate the body. The brow chakra is linked to the pituitary gland and the crown chakra corresponds to the pituitary and pineal glands.
The pituitary gland is the size of a small pea nestled in the base of our brain. Often coined as the master gland, the pituitary gland is considered to be the most important component of the endocrine system. It regulates metabolism, growth and development, tissue function, blood pressure and produces endorphins that act as pain relief. Its function can be influenced by our emotions and seasonal changes.
The pineal gland, a small organ the size of a grain of rice cocooned deep inside the brain, secretes two hormones which are vital to our mental health. Melatonin regulates our sleeping patterns and serotonin helps maintain a happy and balanced state of mind.
When you consider that anti-depressant drugs are prescribed to raise the serotonin levels to induce a sense of happiness and wellbeing, it is not difficult to understand why ayurveda considers shirodhara to be the natural answer to depression. During shirodhara, the soft fall of the warm liquid over the forehead massages the pituitary and pineal glands which rebalances the endocrine and nervous systems. It also opens up and cleanses the brow and crown chakras and gently carries you into a high state of meditative contemplation.
Some of the benefits or Shirodhara include: stimulating the endocrine system, activating and balancing the pituitary and pineal glands (for hormonal upsets) -simulating pleasure neurotransmitters (for depression, mood swings, emotional insecurities and addictions of various kinds) -helps many diseases connected with the head, neck, eyes, ears, nose and throat -helps various disease of the nervous system -improves digestion and the health of the skin and hair -rejuvenates face by removing worry lines -clears inertia and negativity, grounding a person and giving positive feelings -brings spiritual awakening and increased intuition.
