HISTORY
OF KAYA KALPA
Ten
thousand years ago, a King of India had a problematic,
headstrong daughter, who refused to marry any of
the eligible princes who were presented to her.
In anger and frustration the king decreed that she
was to be blindfolded and placed in the castle courtyard
in the midst of all her suitors. The man she touched
was to be her husband and their children would continue
the Royal line.
On
that day an elderly holy man wandered into the courtyard
to deliver herbs to the King's physician and, by
chance, was touched first by the princess. Even
though he pled exemption due to his advanced age
and holy vows, the King's word was law and they
were to marry in three months time. The holy man
consulted his teacher about his problem and the
teacher instituted an intensive program to rejuvenate
and energize.
For
90 days the holy man ate a special diet, performed
breathing techniques, took ritual herbal baths and
was anointed with sacred oils. At the end of that
time his hair had turned from gray to black, a new
set of teeth had grown into his mouth, and his skin
and body were youthful and strong. He married the
Princess. They had many children and of course lived
happily ever after.
This was the beginning of Kaya Kalpa treatment.
Vigorously, suppressed by the British, it almost
was lost. There are now fewer than 30 practitioners
in the world.
Kaya Kalpa
"Kaya"
means bodies and "Kalpa" means transformation.
Kaya Kalpa treatments reverse the effects of time
and regenerate the entire body, mind and spirit.
This secret healing technique was used in India
for thousands of years by religious healers to rejuvenate
and give longevity to royalty and holy sages.
The Treatment
begins
with an assessment of your Ayurvedic
body type using pulse diagnosis and a questionnaire
format. You will be given the appropriate lifestyle,
diet, herbs and essential oils to bring you back
into balance.
While
maintaining a tantric, connective breath, an herbal
paste made from Indian herbs is massaged
onto your entire body. The paste draws out impurities
while re-vitalizing the skin and brings emotions
to the surface. After the paste is dried, it is
removed by further body work that reaches deep holding
patterns. Skin brushing completes the stimulation
and cleansing. Special herbal oil is formulated
and applied by a third massage to nourish and seal
the skin.
A
steady stream of warm oil is directed onto the area
of the third eye for 30 minutes creating ecstatic
sensations and expanded awareness. This is shirodhara
(or shirodara)
A hot bath is prepared with herbal extracts and
essential oils. The recipient enters and performs
multiple rounds of Breath of Fire ( Kundalini )
and primal sounds. This creates a fiery state to
release unexpressed emotions and fears. Guided
Forgiveness Rituals release you from past projections
about relationships and creates an opening for new
ways of perceiving them. A cooling shower returns
the person to the body and initiates divine connectedness,
while affirmations refill the mental body.
The
patient is dried and placed in a cocoon of sheets
and blankets. The chakras (energy centers) are anointed
with the most powerful and spiritual of essential
oils while a deep meditative breath is maintained.
A
restful state of bliss is obtained that can carry
over for the next few days, weeks even months in
everything planned and performed. After the treatment,
one is at rest from 2 to 5 hours.
During
Pancha Karma treatments,
kaya kalpa treatments are given daily.
