Dr. Martin,
Since my adolescence I suffered the effects of a particularly unmanageable stage fright, which is handicapping when one is a musician. Until now, I've never had any other choice than to help myself with beta blockers to play in public, and even with this crutch, the symptoms were still a bit present. Thanks to the mental silence, obtained by meditation, and a few sessions of Shirodhara Cristalmind (experience that I highly recommend, if only for discovery, so many its benefits are !!!), I was able to go from two to zero cachet before the concerts, and just after four weeks of shirodhara and meditation practice. I also found better sleep and a long forgotten inner calm.
Thank you Doctor Martin!

Dear Dr. Martin,
It's been more than a month since I did your Panchakarma treatment and in view of the results, I want to thank you again for all my strength.
The Shirodara you invented is an exceptional tool. It has the virtue of instantly calming the mind and plunging us without resistance into a deep meditative state. I had even lived at times some deliciously soothing astral journeys from which I was able to free myself from many toxic attachments in my psyche.
It is obvious that a subtle transformation has taken place in me because I am free from my delusions. In addition your massages each time prepare me with harmony, by your sincere and frank touch, released many resistances before the abandonment to "my travels" curative but also strongly stabilized my hormonal imbalance due to menaupose.
Many thanks to Dr. Martin for this extraordinary experience to renew without hesitation!.
Yours truly,
Tatjana Stankov.

Hello Dr Martin,
It's me Carol,I finally have a good stress management about to solve my sleep problem. I had this problem for a long time. I tried just about all so-called remedies, or treatments on the market. None had the slightest positive effect and all this was a waste of money. I had no quality of life because I could never sleep before 4am, and for one to two hours only, and sometimes I could spend two nights without sleeping at all. I looked very bad, felt really sick and more than once thought about finishing with life. I was obviously going back and forth to hell.
Then, in my endless search for an efficient ntreatment, I discovered Cristalmind. At first I used the apparatusevery night and started to despair because it seemed to have no effect on me and insomnia persisted.
With the repeated use of Cristalmind, I started falling asleep during the treatment. I am now able to no longer use the Cristalmind every night because I am confident that I will be able to fall asleep. If at any time I have the impression that my insomnia will come back, I increase the frequency of the sessions again, because Because it is out of the question that my life is ruined again by insomnia.
I can not thank you enough Dr. Martin, because I really feel that I'm coming back from the edge of the precipice, that I've come back to life, and it's really thanks to Cristalmind. I can only say to those who suffer from insomnia, do not waste your money for treatment and puffy drugs - just buy a Cristalmind which is the definitive cure and is well worth the investment.
Yours,

Dear Dr Martin,
Thank you very much for the opportunity to try your portable shirodhara'Cristalmind', I loved it! I tried both alternatives - oil and water - and my preference definitely goes to water.
Then in my never-ending search for a cure I read about the Cristalmind. At first I used it just about every night and began to despair when it appeared to have no effect and the insomnia continued. I persevered with it and then to my amazement I began to feel this beautiful, amazing calmness that I have never felt in my life. I was able to feel so totally relaxed and at peace with myself and just wanted to drift off into another world.
The point of contact of the water flow on my forehead was distinct and I go total mental silence very quickly. It felt as if the inner tension and negative thoughts were hindered by the gentle and continuous pressure on my forehead. During the 1-hour treatment, I even had the impression that the water flow occasionally went slightly beyond my skin and soothened my whole body, which was very pleasant!.
oil was nice as well, now I did not feel a distinct point of contact. It was diffuse and temperature seemed to fluctuate slightly. That is probably why it took me much longer to get to mental silence and perception of overall session time was biased (longer than reality). Washing my hair afterwards truly took me longer..
In summary oil was a worth-while experience for sure, now I clearly got the most benefits from water.
Thanks again for this great discovery and I shall spread the word around me!
Kind regards,
Carla E. Gomes, Vevey, Switzerland
So far I have witnessed patients going into very deep sleep while taking the shirohara.....one patient reported going on a journey to India, walking through the market places and seeing many wonderful colours. She was very relaxed afterwards. Another (MD....very stressed)....snored so loudly and slept for 45 minutes..... I will keep a logue of my patients experiences and let you know in the future.
Best Wishes

Dear Bertrand,
Namaste.
What a pleasant surprise to fall on your website. I am working together with Ganga Ma and answer many of her messages. I am an ayurvedic therapist and my specialty is precisely Shirodhara. Here in Argentinait is not widespread which is a shame, within my means I am advertising its benefits through various means.
At first when I saw the picture of your Cristalmind, I'll be honest, I felt somewhat upset, as I'm very used to giving shirodhara the traditional way and caring for all traditions and rituals.
But ... well, your system is incredibly good and is actually a genial idea! There are many patients who do not want to go out with a head full of oil. The cleaning after the treatment is very laborious, especially for the towels. And actually, here in Buenos Aires, suitable oils cost make the treatment too expensive. I have good ideas to bring to places such as hotels, spa etc ... even for executives in their office! I wonder if you can use milk or buttermilk instead of water, or some kind of herbal tea.
Sincerely,
Swami Devi Shakti

Shirodhara, what a wonderful experience.
The first few sessions I felt very cosy, as if wrapped in a soft fluffy blanket and completely relaxed. Then, following further sessions, I experienced something wonderful, amasing, a bright yet soft light that came before my eyes (at first I thought it was the sunlight) and opened my eyes to find that there was no outside factor (save that of a grey winter's day) -the light I saw came from within. There are no words to properly express the harmony and peace I felt each time this happened.
A most recommendable exprience for all, and so easy with the Cristalmind Shirodhara equipment.
Thank-you Dr. Martin.

Hi Doctor,
I am sorry for responding to your mail so late. How are you? Thats great that you are promoting this great ancient therapy of India and also applying innovative ideas to it. Thats really appreciable. Also do let me know if you want any sort of help for your patients who want to undergo ayurveda treatment (PK) here at India and for that matter if you need any medicines or oils etc. from India.
Regards

"The Shirodhara Cristalmind has certain advantages over the traditional method. First of all it is a much more economical method, the device is more practical and portable, you can take it to your friends and make many people benefit from it. It takes up virtually no space while the traditional installation takes up a lot of space in the house.The most important benefit is that the oil remains at a constant temperature throughout the treatment.
I have used it three times so far and what I have experienced is that Shirodhara significantly calms me down and brings about a delayed state of consciousness after each session. It feels like a dissolution of psychic tension and I recommend it as a "treatment" for anyone dealing with a stressful daily life. This delayed state of consciousness brings various benefits such as better quality of sleep, better irrigation of the brain, clarification of thoughts and many other health benefits.
Finally, and most importantly, I would like to congratulate you, Dr. Martin, for coming up with the idea and making the effort to give the world this simple and effective way of doing Shirodhara."

Hello,
After having followed three weeks of purification through the Pancha Karma therapy with Dr Martin, I wanted to add the following comments in this blog, wich are simply the effects of this treatment on me: I easily quit all the things I was hooked on (tobacco, alcohol although not an alcohoolic, and more...)
All the anger I had almost completely vanished (divorce problem). It gave me the impression my whole life was just new!!! And then three weeks later (this was three days ago), I finally started this meditation habit, wich allowed me to lower again my cigarette consumption (wich started anew because lazy as I am, I did not meditate at all after the Pancha Karma!
I'd like to finish by saying that the Shirodara experience is something so powerful it really takes away the need to smoke or drink, the mind is satisfied during the whole day.

"Hello!
Quickly, two words, to tell you that It IS FANTASTIC!!! I started with some regular sessions, and already after 3 days, my sleep came back, that is to say in one go and of good quality. Then......... it is true that I am not good at being regular, BUT that is enough to maintain me, how to say, in a state which allows me to keep a sleep of good quality. When I feel a light change, I increase the dosis (of sessions), and it becomes again perfect. Life changed color... I promote your Cristalmind apparatus like hell, I hope that it gives results: some look to me with eyes saying "she is completely mad" - others ask immediately for your reference. Thank you from deep in my heart to have developed this apparatus in this form and all my wishes of success. I wish you a beautiful summer.
Cordial thoughts."
Ms D.C.
I write to you from Spain - Madrid,
I tested Cristalmind one or two months ago, and the sensation it produced was FANTASTIC, A TOTAL Relaxation! it is a massage of the BRAIN! it relaxes you even to your thoughts! Yes, you read correctly. As a lover of Eastern techniques, I have tried many massage techniques, but since I tested Cristalmind, I can assure you that the benefits are of 100%. Our mind works the whole day, as well as our body and at the end of the day we feel heavy, stressed. And what can we do to get relaxed? What can give us our energy back? So, I i just tell you this: test Cristalmind. I use it at the end of the day, and before going to bed I am already relaxed, it is spectacular and if you use it swithing on and off the switch two or three times....Oh my God! you feel the massage deep into your veins! Good, this is my experience and I hope that you can test it by yourself,
Best Greetings to all of you and have a good health!

"I tested 2 different techniques: - the Cristalmind apparatus allows a moderate water flow to run on the forehead. You are alone, for the time you choose, with this gentle flow of tepid water running down your forehead. With this system, I am rather quickly "disconnected" and feel a great effect(relief, disappearance of the tensions at the level of the head for example). That occurs in silence and I am alone in my room.
On the other hand, in a thalassotherapy center, I was proposed a "shirodhara" with a technician sweeping all the width of the forehead with a flow of sesame oil, according to a specific technique, after what she makes a massage of the scalp and the face. It is done very carefully and is pleasant, but personally I did not succeed in "disconnecting". During the whole care I remain very "present" and did not feel this feeling of great relief at the end of the treatment. It was indeed pleasant, but I did not have the impression that I had a better result."
Mrs Michele Berdoz
"I tested your apparatus 3 times and I am convinced by it?s efficiency. The 1st night I slept 13 hours at a stretch, and moreover its use is extremely simple... In spite of my initial apprehension regarding the eventual overflow of the water, a test later I was conquered. If thanks to your product, our planet could have less distressed and stressed inhabitants, we will only be able to thank you to have developed such a tool."

Hello,
"At last! I could get the two Cristalmind out of custom, everything ok, they are very pretty, we'll put them in two of the clinics in which I work so that people can test them. Congratulations, is a great project and a nice work!
A hug,
Rosario, Columbia
Bertrand,
What a great idea! I will keep your link in our file to refer people to you. We don't sell anyone else's products on our website except those that we produce ourselves. But good luck getting it out there again, it is about time someone thought of a way to modernize shirodara.
Sean Riehl
"I meditate regularly, which allows me to relax daily. But I use the Cristalmind apparatus 2 to 3 times per month, if I am very tensed or tired. Cristalmind relaxes me deeply (mind, muscles and cells) as a successful and deep meditation would do. Sometimes, I come back from work very tired, and if I do not manage to meditate, I use the Cristalmind apparatus who gives me energy, clear mind and regenerates me deeply. I can then go on with my daily work."
Ms Marie-Lorraine Urfer
"The thousand-year-old Shirodhara technique is excellent to find the sleep and the Cristalmind apparatus makes it diponible at home. Thank you for your collaboration."

"Dear Dr. Martin,
Since my serious accident in 2000, I had various drug treatments to cure my pain and my depression, with little result. In 2006 I decided to reduce my medication because of side effects (anxiety, anguish, stress, etc.) and I came home six weeks ago burned out, want to live without. With your overall approach (Dynamic psychotherapy, Raja Yoga, Panchakarma, Shirodhara), I feel relieved and went back to enjoying life. I do not know how to thank you for your great invention of Cristalmind. I use it every day from 30 to 40 minutes and my anxiety, my fears and my stress level decreased significantly. The night I found my sleep and I rested in the morning. I feel relieved to have found your method Shirodhara. I found my smile and went back to enjoying life.
Thanks again. "
