Introduction

Welcome to Radiant Spirit!

Rosalind Nichols is dedicated to bringing the dynamic ancient healing arts of Yoga, Thai Yoga Massage, Reiki and Shamanic energy work into the modern day world. She discovered her Dharma as she journeyed with these beautiful modalities and is now walking an ever-unfolding path following all they have to offer. Her training is on-going and she continues to seek out ways to offer the benefits of healing to the body, the mind and the spirit to those who seek it.

This website has been prepared to introduce you to the wonderful relaxing and restorative benefits of Yoga practice, Reiki (pronounced “ray-key”), Thai Yoga Massage and Shamanic energy work. All four of these modalities each offer unique, therapeutic assistance to the body, the mind and the spirit of the receiver. All of this work comes from a great place of love.

Each of these modalities draw upon ancient wisdom and experience – using the science, technology and mechanisms that study the body and energy. In many ways these techniques are a form of anthropology – or the study of man. These simple yet
powerful tools and aids can be used as stand alones or combined with each other for
a customized session.

Rosalind’s most recent travel to Peru through the Sacred Valley including Machu Picchu and then the Amazon jungle with Ray Crist and the Jaguar Path was especially uplifting to her soul. While in the Andes and the Amazon she met and worked with three very powerful Shamans of Peru. Her training in this work continues. Rosalind is honored to offer with grace this energy work in service to those seeking it. It provides a simple, yet powerful set of tools and aids that can be used alone or in conjunction with a Yoga, Reiki or Thai Yoga Massage session.

Rosalind received her 200 hour Vinyasa Yoga training with her exceptional and exquisite yoga teacher Daniele Ferrara Jarman, E-RYT of Ignite Yoga Center in Livingston, NJ and is a 200+ hour Registered Yoga Teacher with extra study in Yoga for Cancer Patients. She also volunteers as a Kula Angel with Kula for Karma at a nursing home teaching wheelchair yoga. She is a Certified Reiki Master. She received her Certification in Thai Yoga Massage from the Lotus Palm School at Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health located in the Berkshires. She received her training in Yoga and Shamanism from Ray Crist and the Jaguar Path in the Berkshires and Peru. Her study of the use of crystals in Meditation, Reiki and Shamanic sessions continues.

Rosalind continually researches and seeks out further knowledge and courses of study to bring a deeper experience to herself and in service of others, animals and the earth.

Metta (loving kindness)

For Rosalind, offering and providing Yoga, Reiki, Thai Yoga Massage and Shamanism, are very empowering acts of compassion and love. With the unfolding spiritual path of these modalities Rosalind has found her Dharma as a healer. She is very pleased to offer her support, share her experience and bring intuitive perception in service of others, animals and the earth.

She will continue to update this website so check back from time to time.

Yoga 

Yoga is a constantly growing and changing process and Rosalind truly cherishes and loves teaching others. It is very gratifying when a student realizes the benefits they are gaining. She is beholding for the blessings of all the generous and sharing Yoga teachers who preceded us over centuries. She is especially indebted to her teachers and fellow students who inspire her on a daily basis.

Rosalind encourages you to get on your mat, breathe and savor the grace, fulfillment and healing that a yoga practice brings to your life. Namaste!

Reiki 

Reiki is very gentle, yet remarkably powerful. Because it is so difficult to prove the benefits of Reiki in the standard clinical sense, the only way to find out if it works is to try it! Many people are skeptical at first. Life forces and energy systems are not common subjects in our society. But, when we have a genuine interest in helping others the results of the touch therapy of Reiki can be truly amazing.

Rosalind is grateful to Usui Sensei for sharing his gift of Reiki and, to Dr. Hayashi and Mrs. Takata for bringing Reiki to the Western World.

Thai Yoga Massage 

Providing Thai Yoga Massage has become a special part of Rosalind’s life and career as a healer. Rosalind feels very fortunate and blessed to have the opportunity to provide the deep relaxation of Thai Yoga Massage to her clients. The benefits of stress reduction, improved circulation, increased energy, increased flexibility and improved range of motion are felt after the very first session.

This modality is of benefit to anyone in any stage of life, with or without physical limitations. Rosalind brings her intuitive sensitivity to each session creating a custom engagement for each client.

Shamanism – Healing Consultations 

Shamanism is a dynamic, ancient science studying human life and the world we live in. The exceptional tools used in Shamanic sessions help individuals and healers tap into the individual’s energy systems.

Exercising the combination of adopted tools and intuitive processes Rosalind is pleased to offer Shamanic sessions to individuals who are looking for enhanced perceptions, illumination and clearing within their energy field.

Self Care, Chakras, and Art & Soul

The Mindful Self Care section encourages self care through nutrition and healthy Ayurvedic practices. The Chakras and Energy Body section introduces the concept of the energy and electricity that runs through us. Art & Soul includes artists Rosalind admires and is pleased to share with you. Some are wonderful artists who Rosalind personally knows. All are artists who have moved her spirit in some way, continue to enrich her life and share compassion for the word we live in.

All of these areas will be updated throughout the year and those with expertise in the subject will be invited to share their learning and perspectives through the written word.

There is a wealth of information beyond what has provided in this website, so feel free to follow the links on this site to other resources on the web and take advantage of the excellent books available on the subject of Yoga, Reiki, Thai Yoga Massage, Chakras and energy systems and Shamanic studies.
