WHAT IS COLOR THERAPY and HOW DOES IT WORK?
Light is
life, and light is color. Color can bring us joy and healing when we need it, because each color of the spectrum possesses
unique healing properties, visible and invisible. The healing energy of light enters our body through our eyes and through
our skin where the endocrine system responds chemically.
Color therapy is very relaxing affecting both the body and
the unconscious habit-creating mind. At Sacred Rays our non-invasive color therapy consists of light showers, colorpuncture,
and silk clothes which are combined with breathing exercises and guided visualization to promote well-being and anchor the
healing benefits.

WHAT IS REFLEXOLOGY and HOW DOES IT WORK?
Reflexology
is the study of what directs back through the body upon stimulation of certain zones and points believed to mirror the body.
There are many theories why Reflexology works. We look at the nervous system as the explanation of effectiveness.
Applied
pressure generates a signal through the peripheral nervous system where it continues to the central nervous system and is
processed in various parts of the brain. The signal is then relayed to internal organs to allocate necessary adjustments in
fuel and oxygen, and finally sent onto the motor system adjusting the body's tone or overall tension level.
By applying
proper technique, a reflexologist encourages relaxation and essentially 'resets' the body to a lower operating tempo. Relaxation
and a lower operating tempo means less stress, healing, and rejuvanation of body, mind, and spirit.

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT FROM A SESSION?
Sessions are customized
to your particular needs and generally last from 45 minutes to an hour. After a brief consultation, clients usually relax
by lying on a therapy table. Only removal of shoes and socks is required, but some massage may be added as part of an overall
session. Repositioning or removal of additional clothing may be necessary wherein gowns are provided.
Again depending
on your needs and drawing upon our extensive experience, various therapies including light tonation and therapeutic touch
are combined to wholistically support you. Most clients feel calm and rejuvanated at the end of a session, reporting profound
and deep relaxation. Use Color Therapy and Reflexology to enhance your spirit, improve your health, and quite ultimately,
expand your consciousness.

I'VE HEARD REFLEXOLOGY IS PAINFUL. IS THAT TRUE?
No.
Reflexology doesn't have to be painful to be effective. Too much pressure can actually be harmful and could lead to injury.
We respect your comfort level and personal preference is something you should communicate with your therapist.
IS
COLOR THERAPY and REFLEXOLOGY SAFE?
Yes. Sacred Rays utilizes safe practices as outlined by the Reflexology Association
of America and the International Association of Color. Color Therapy and Reflexology are individually customized and suitable
for young and old, healthy and health challenged. At every moment you are in control and can terminate the session at any
time.
For your protection, we offer the following precautions:
• Never use complimentary therapy in place of conventional
care for serious ailments.
• If you suffer from epilepsy, use caution when looking at flashing lights.
• If you are
receiving colored light therapy, avoid looking directly into the light source. Look at an object illuminated by the colored
lights instead.
• If you are taking prescription drugs, read the warning label to make sure that no side effects are induced
if your skin is exposed to bright light.
• Let your therapist know if you are pregnant or think you may be pregant.
•
Let your therapist know if you have medical tests pending.
