Free your mind at RakSa in Culver City, CA

We read about the newly opened RakSa Wellness Center on Daily Candy and knew it would be right up our alley.  From an organic cafe, to yoga classes to past life regressions, Reiki and facials, it is a full body and soul experience.  A small group of us went to get the whole healing experience and are now full devotees!  Following a lunch of BBQ shitake quesadillas" (in whole wheat pita), lentil soup, and quinoa salads, we assembled for a group past life regression.  We were all a little nervous and unsure of what to expect.  The calm and down to earth practitioner, Stephanie, explained we would be hypnotized as a group and then regressed back to a lifetime.  Upon being brought to, we were asked how long we thought we had been "under."  We all agreed 15 minutes or so and were blown away when she revealed it had actually been close to an hour!  We then shared our visions and the information that had come to us during the regression– everyone had totally different experiences and although we all struggled with — was it real, were we making it up?  We all agreed that whatever had happened was therapeutic and worthwhile.  Following our trips back in time, we went to our separate appointments — a facial, a cranial sacral therapy, reiki and a therapeutic massage.  Everyone emerged from the appointments glowing and feeling like not only had our physical bodies been worked on, but that something on a deeper level had happened.  This is the biggest benefit of RakSa- all of the therapists and people working there are truly doing it because it seems to be their calling– they're not out of work actors with a massage license trying to make ends meet.  All of this healing doesn't hurt your wallet either– the whole day was less than $200, including tips and a tub of our new favorite body cream, Erb's Eastern Treat in Jasmine/Rice/Mint.

    I tried the hypnosis with Stephanie after reading your blog. I too did a past life regression. I had high hopes after reading your blog because I have been wanting to try hypnosis for a long time. Unfortunately I thought it was a complete waste of money. I did not get hypnotized at all. It just didn’t work. I think a better description of it would be meditation/guided imagery…

    Hey Sally,
    So sorry you didn’t have a great experience. What did Stephanie say? As we wrote in our post, we felt that it hadn’t “worked” either until we heard that it had actually been an hour when we felt like it had been ten minutes! We think this sort of thing is what you make of it– more of a fun experimental adventure than a sure fire therapy. Have you tried other experimental healing before that you’ve liked? We’re all ears!

    Hi Mary and Lucy,
    Well I completely agree with you that it is more of a fun experience than something that is going to solve your problems in life :) It did feel relaxing to me as she did the guided imagery. Just in all serious, nothing popped into my head as to what I was in my “past” life. It was kind of awkward laying there. I did get in a little of a daze and felt alone so I said maybe I was an orphan?? She went with that and then guided me to a cave where there was an old man giving me advice, but then I really didn’t hear anything.
    I tried acupuncture — where they put the needles in by a lady in Santa Monica two months ago. She was a great acupuncturist and told me all about the yin/yang and how acupuncture works. The needles really do feel like they light up your nervous system. They say it can help with all sorts of problems. Her name was Dana Boldt http://www.danaboldt.com Check her out!
    I really love your blog though and think you make excellent recommendations that are right up my alley!! Keep them coming!!
