Buddha Walk Review
Last Thursday, I was lucky enough to spend the morning with an extremely talented man named Dhargya Lobsang. I was introduced to Dhargya, a former monk and innovator of an authentic Tibetan Treatment called Tibetan Yoginic Massage Therapy, a few weeks ago by a friend of mine. I decided to visit his studio after hearing rave reviews about his treatments, which increases energy, reduces tension and clears the mind and chakras.
I arrived at Dhargya’s studio dressed casually in yoga clothes and was immediately drawn to his calming energy and kind spirit. Dhargya took me back to his treatment room where he started his signature treatment, The Buddha-Sphere. The Buddha Sphere is a combination of healing techniques used to stretch muscles, open the circulatory system, align bones and loosen joints.
We began by stretching and shaking out my limbs to get my body warmed up and loose. After our warm up, Dhargya increased the intensity and had me do a series of poses, holding each until my body was completely exhausted. It isn’t until this exhaustion that your breath syncs and your body fully lets go of energy and tension. Some areas take a little longer to fully relax; and the treatment intensifies during the more heightened exercises, causing the muscle to shiver. I also had hot and cold sensations, tingling and numbness in some parts of my body throughout the treatment. Additionally, when Dhargya worked on certain areas, significant memories of places, people and scents came to mind. The exercises were strenuous and the memories weren’t always pleasant, but the exercises allowed me to let go of bad feelings and my body felt calm afterwards.After the two and a half hour session, my body was tired, but I felt amazing. The treatment got even more pleasant with an after treatment massage. Dhargya does a wave massage after each intense body treatment.
I left with an emotional high and high spirits but was extremely tired. After working with Dhargya, I would recommend taking the day to yourself to reflect on your experience and relax. My body felt more relaxed than I have ever been in my life; it also felt lighter, healthier and way more flexible. When I worked out the next morning, my body felt better than ever and I have Dhargya to thank. I would highly recommend this unique treatment; Dhargya truly has an amazing gift.
