Keys to

Relax and Feel Radiant

with
Christina Nienaber-Roberts, MSc, RNHP, KYT

For those who feel ready to Let Go of the logical, left-brain, experience of figuring out and doing to step into the intuitive, right-brain, experience of fully feeling - and Relax and Feel Radiant to experience the Sacred Self. In Essence – at the energetic level of the Sacred Self, we are already whole and healed – we have always been. We have just mistakenly believed otherwise. We are Spirit. Full stop! This awareness can be experienced in different ways. Sacred Movement (a form of communion with our Sacred Self), yoga, energy work, and deep relaxation during holistic massage can become ways of stepping through the Heart Gate into experiencing our innate Wholeness or Holiness. Our Oneness with Source.

As this is the direction into which Christina’s life and work work has been naturally evolving, the business name has changed to reflect that and is now Relax and Feel Radiant. A new website that represents this is in progress and will soon be linked to this one that you are currently visiting.

♥ Holistic Deep Relaxation Massage ♥

This is not therapeutic massage aimed at resolving physical symptoms, but a platform for dropping into a really deeply relaxed state, which allows the Being to start returning to balance and tune into the powerful natural transformation (or ‘healing”) force that naturally animates the body, mind, emotions and spirit. Energy work may be included – if preferred. Christina also has training, and teaches Palliative Massage.

For truly Deep Relaxation, 2-hr appointments recommended, with the client encouraged to take the rest of the day off to just Relax and Feel Radiant to allow full integration of the process. Clients are invited to linger a little longer to enjoy the Tranquility Pond, Walk the Labyrinth, or head out into adjacent Seal Bay Park for a gentle stroll or a walk on the beach, before driving home to melt into a hot Epsom salts bath. An early night is highly recommended for maximum benefit. 90 and 60 min appointments also available. $60/hr. Can also be delivered in Hospital, Care Homes or at home if the client is unable to travel.

♥ Energy Work ♥

♥ Yoga Plus ♥ (Kripalu Yoga with massage and energy work)

In Kripalu Yoga, “the Yoga of Compassion”, students are encouraged to be gentle with themselves, focusing on Being Present in their own unique experience, rather than on competing, or striving for the “perfect” posture - with the understanding that every body is different, and in every moment its abilities may shift. Christina Nienaber-Roberts, a certified Kripalu Yoga Teacher, teachers a particularly gentle form of Kripalu Yoga, drawing on her intimate daily, practice of over ten years of Sacred Movement, which spontaneously blossomed within her when she faced a healing crisis - and which has similarities to Kripalu Stage 3 or Meditation on Motion. Encouraging students to work with their eyes closed in a meditative state, these voice-guided experiences become a gentle vinyassa-flow of subtle movement, with periods of stillness, taking students into a deeper and deeper experience of their own inner wisdom. This simple approach makes it an ideal practice for anyone, even those with zero yoga experience, or who may be experiencing current physical challenges – or are sight-impaired! Start any time, but if you feel a resonance, register NOW - as there is limited space per class, allowing for lots of individual assistance and attention to your specific needs.
