WHY OJAS HOLISTIC HEALTH?

Ojas Holistic Health is a therapeutic massage and holistic lifestyle consulting service in Dunedin, which aims to assist in maintaining all levels of your being - physical, emotional, psychological and energetic - to achieve optimal wellness.

If we are overly emotional, lacking energy, or not well, it is likely that the ojas in your body may be deficient or disturbed.

Ojas is the juice of life! Helping you to relax, heal and detoxify your body, mind and soul.

At Ojas Holistic Health we look beyond the physical body to discover the original cause of pain or discomfort, to better understand the pain and its original cause.

If you are able to maintain healthy ojas in your system, your energies flow freely, avoiding stagnation in the meridian pathways and resisting decay and disease.

Although ojas plays a major role in the immune system, it also relates to the endocrine system, nervous, skeletal, muscular, hematopoietic (bone marrow, spleen, lymph) and digestive systems: and therefore plays a vital role in our overall health.

We offer alternative treatment plans to support you and your journey for a balanced way of being. You will leave feeling relaxed, refreshed and rejuvenated.

Regular scheduled sessions enable you to relax, as your stress and tension melts away

THE MEANING OF OJAS

Ojas has two prominent meanings in Sanskrit.

In the context of physical health and vitality, Ojas means vigour, energy, bodily strength and power.

In the context of spiritual and emotional well-being, it is referred to as “physiological expression of consciousness”. Ojas integrates your body and mind’s emotions and spiritual strength, helping you to feel content, healthy and happy. These are the main elements of life.

You can nourish your Ojas with the following life choices to reduce overall stress:

• Massage
• Yoga
• Meditation
• Balanced breathing
• Letting go of unhelpful thought patterns, feelings or behaviour
• Organic food
• Healthy relationships
• Giving & serving others
• Being in nature
• Adequate sleep
• Promoting positivity in life

Learn tools and techniques to increase your awareness, live more fully in the present moment, and manage everyday stress. A session specifically tailored to meet your needs.
