Therapies with
Narayani Penn
As a young child , Narayani moved from San Francisco to the peaceful rolling hills of western Sonoma County . Time spent in nature developed her love and interest in plant medicines and natural therapies .
In 2002 , she began working at Simplers Botanical Company. During her employment at Simplers, Narayani gained practical hands-on knowledge of plant medicines and trained as an aromatherapist.
Her continued curiosity led her to completed her first massage therapy training at Calistoga Massage Therapy School in 2004.
One night, while dreaming , Narayani received a very clear message that she should study cranial work. A series of sychronicities led her to discover the ancient art of Tibetan Cranial and her teacher Shar Lee with whom she completed a three year apprenticeship .
This study of Tibetan Cranial opened the door to Narayani’s ongoing study of Sowa Rigpa (Traditional Tibetan Medicine) and the beautiful art of KuNye (Tibetan Massage).
Sowa Rigpa translates to the “Science of Healing “ and through these practices Narayani has dedicated her life to help heal all sentient beings.
"Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can’t help them, at least don’t hurt them.”
― Dalai Lama
TIBETAN CRANIAL
Tibetan Cranial® is a healing modality that originated in the Himalayan highlands about 3,000 years ago and is now practiced in its traditional form in the West. TC Practitioners use their fingertips to read hundreds of pulses on the recipient’s head. With the pulses as their guide, Practitioners touch specific points on the neck and bones of the skull, including the face, the back of the head, and the palate. As the Practitioners apply gentle pressure, the pulses shift. The process continues until the pulses reach a place of balance. The practice is a disciplined approach, designed to re-align and restore our innate capacity for self healing. Recipients report that TC has led to transformation on all levels of their being: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. For more information please visit: http://tibetancranial.org
KU-NYE ~ བསྐུ་མཉེ།
If promotion of general health, well-being, and relaxation is of interest to you, a Ku-Nye treatment will exceed all expectations. Since ancient times in Tibet, it has been believed that Ku-nye aids in longevity by clearing and sharpening the sensory organs while supporting the function of the internal organs. The term Ku-nye comes from two Tibetan words: “ku” means oil, and “nye” means to perform massage. So fundamentally, Ku-Nye means “applying massage with oil.” Ku-nye is beneficial as a stand-alone treatment as well as a preventative measure against illnesses and a supportive treatment in conjunction with other modalities. In your Ku-nye treatment, you may receive consultation on diet, herbs, and other health based information.
