Words of Wisdom
 Hear and feel the therapy! Music, vibration, and infrared warmth combined in two special modalities: the BioAcoustic Mat and Infrared BioMat. Did you know that the Sagewood Center has a Sound Therapy room? In addition to a soothing atmosphere, the sound therapy room uses a BioAcoustic mat – a revolutionary vibroacoustic therapy device – in combination with an Amethyst Biomat to give you infrared heat, negative ions, and vibroacoustic sound therapy all in one place.

| The BioMat’s unique medical and therapeutic properties are based on Nobel prize-winning research into ionic channels and the same infrared technology that NASA identified as the safest and most beneficial type of light wave. By producing deep-penetrating, far infrared rays along with negative ions that activate the body at the molecular level, the BioMat is capable of administering a deep, soothing experience. So How does it work? |  |
FAR INFRARED RAYS
The deep penetrating power of Far Infrared Rays stimulates every system of the body from the inside out. As Infrared is radiated into the body, it resonates with the frequencies of organic molecules and cells causing them to vibrate, heat up and expand. In turn, blood vessels, capillaries, nerve endings and organelles expand, making the body feel fully charged and energized in just the same way a bell struck at regular intervals vibrates and moves faster and faster. This causes a net increase in metabolism helping cells to divide faster, nervous signals to move faster and healing to occur at a much accelerated rate
NEGATIVE IONS
The Negative Ions stimulate all of the cell membranes of the body causing their ion channels to become active. This helps to alkalize all cells by removing cellular waste and toxins. Negative Ions also convert cells from “Fight or Flight” (Stress) mode, to Reproductive, Normal Functioning (Happy) Mode causing a sense of Deep Relaxation in the mind and body. Just as negative ions clean our air, they also clean out our cells.
AMETHYST CRYSTALS
Amethyst Crystals have been known to deliver both infrared and negative ions naturally. In this case the Amethyst crystal is not only used to focus the FIR energy of the Biomat but also helps to calm and protect the mind and nervous system.
These therapeutic components of the Biomat works to remove blockages creating better communication between the brain, the autonomic and sympathetic nervous systems and all organs of the body to balance and stabilize the bodies systems and strengthen the body’s own self-healing power.

The BioAcoustic Mat
 | Reboot and Restore with Therapeutic Sounds and Vibrations Feel the pulses of the BioAcoustic Mat’s healing energy. Vibroacoustic relaxation is not just for the brain; it also provides deep physical cellular stimulation to the skin, muscles, and joints. |
Research has shown that relaxing music helps reduce stress. However, with the BioAcoustic Mat, you not only hear the music but feel it as well. Like a massage, the vibrations from the BioAcoustic Mat calms the body and feels good. Vibroacoustics from the BioAcoustic Mat relaxes you in two ways.
First, powerful low frequency speakers and transducers are used to help deliver a deep acoustic cellular massage. The lower frequencies are used to massage large muscles and the higher frequencies for smaller muscles.
Secondly, these sounds affect brain activity to help contribute to a state of mental well-being. Professors and researchers have collaborated to create beautiful soothing music which are designed to help you reach a calming sense of tranquility. The music is composed and designed in way to complement the frequencies emitted by the speakers. The vibrations stimulate the nerves in the spine, brain stem, and limbic system that drives emotional response, and activates the auditory nerves that connect to your muscle tissue, and the low frequency bass causes the muscle tissue to be at ease.
Through neural entrainment, these pulses support new brainwave patterns associated with rest, comfort, peacefulness, and sleep. And when combined with the already impressive effects of the BioMat treatment, the result is even deeper levels of relaxation, to transform the mind and body completely.
The BioAcoustic Mat includes 4 preset programs for different purposes: Energize, Relax, Sleep, and Stress Relief.

Experts estimate that upwards of ninety percent of disease is stress related. And perhaps nothing ages us faster, internally and externally, than high stress. While eliminating anxiety and pressure altogether in this fast-paced world may be idealistic, massage can help greatly reduce everyday stress, leading to benefits such as:

Being a licensed North Carolina Board Certified Massage and Bodywork Therapist you are in great hands. I am deeply passionate about the healing effects massage can have on the whole body.

I believe that great changes can happen with an open mind and consistency.
Each massage includes the InfraMat Pro® which incorporates far infrared, negative ion, and hot stone therapy naturally into your body. I draw from a variety of modalities to create each session specifically for you, from muscle-specific deep tissue massage to Swedish massage and sports massage. With the intention to create movement in your muscles and joints, I find it very beneficial to incorporate stretching along with dynamic and static cupping.

After this difficult time we have all faced, most of us have something we are trying to heal. It may be weight issues, anxiety or depression, too much stress, or even a physical challenge that is interfering with life. The common approach, and that of the traditional medical system, is to address challenges from the aspect of the problem. We focus on what is wrong and try to figure out how to fix it.
If we have done any work with the Law of Attraction, we may look for the opposite of the problem and affirm that different state of being. This process can be powerful, and may help, but does not address a major issue: the illness or challenge may be held in place by our beliefs, behaviors, fears, or wounds, known or unknown. In other words, as long as we continue to live the way we are living, the issue remains.
We need not feel responsible for the issue, but instead can simply wonder if the challenge is a message that we are in some way out of balance with our highest self or best life path. A first step is to ask, “What is this situation here to show me?” and write down the wisdom you receive.
Another option is to get in touch with your Healed-Self. When thinking about the challenge, ask yourself “What would Healed look like?” If a weight issue, healed may be feeling good in your body and eating in a way that is nutritious and supports your wellness. For anxiety, healed might be feeling grounded, calm and balanced on the inside, no matter what is happening on the outside.
Once you have this clarity, you can close your eyes and ask “What would my healed-self do?” There is a version of you that is healed and knows how to reach and hold that state. For example:
These are not a list of “shoulds” — they are qualities and ways of being that are in alignment with your path to healing.
Once you can access this version of yourself, and the wisdom it offers, you can feel into this energy and adopt it as your own. Act, believe, and move in the world as your healed-self. You may still need to treat and support the body through the healing process in traditional ways, but connection to this wisdom may help you make decisions, choose providers, and know what is right for you. If you need help to access this information, or to better understand the deeper issues involved, consult a holistic health practitioner or counselor for support.

- My healed-self gets massages and practices good self-care.
- My healed-self keeps the house stocked with healthy food.
- My healed-self practices Yoga and meditation in a way that feels supportive.
- My healed self does not overextend.
