Meet "Dahlia" -- Our New Cranio Sacral Therapy Room

Christine Cyr, Cranio-Sacral Therapist in Santa Cruz

An elephant facing the door -- especially with his trunk raised -- helps to bring good energy into the room, is a symbol of good luck, and helps to keep the good energy that is generated in the room from leaking out.

...a little place to put your things down. The antique table was chalk painted by "Loot" in Soquel Village. Talk to Amanda at Loot to re-enliven and repurpose your own furniture (or buy your chalk paint at Loot to do it yourself). A salt lamp brings colorful warmth. Many benefits are touted about salt lamps, such as balancing electromagnetic energy, calming allergy responses, and helping with calming and focus. An amethyst crystal is said to aid with heart energy being able to move up through the higher chakras and to take form in manifestation. A selenite votive (behind the amethyst) helps with energetic purification, and connection to one's angels.

Four "sound panels" have been recovered from drab functionality to "fabulous" in order to buffer sound from a shared wall

Light fixtures and craftsman style detail on the ceiling have been chosen and installed to increase the "cozy factor."

The Dahlia for which this room is named

Fountains serve many purposes: They help to keep "the ears in the room," blunting outside sounds; they "circulate chi;" and this fountain in particular has helpful stones in it including malachite (the stone of transformation), shungite (the stone of purification) and red jasper (known for its properties of grounding energy, removing stress, and calming the mind). We notice that the presence of shungite carbon stone added to the fountains keeps them from getting slimy.
