What we are grateful for!

When we created Seeking Indigo we realized we were blessed with the opportunity to help people heal their own lives and assist them on their way to discovering themselves. We were given the opportunity to provide healing services with some of the most powerful practitioners in the Charleston.  We were able to provide our customers  with product with purpose and give them a glimpse into our journey and the cultures abroad where many of the products were purchased.   We realized from the start that  we had an opportunity to provide a platform where others could realize their dreams.

What we didn't know was how much OUR LIVES WOULD CHANGE by our customers.

Below is an email we received this week that touched our hearts.  Thank you Suzette for your very kind  words that remind us of why we are here:

"I just wanted to email you a quick note of thanks and appreciation. I attended the sampler last night and it was just what I needed!!! You, the staff and practitioners were great. The treatments are unique and priced for all to enjoy on a regular basis. The décor is calming and the energy of the sanctuary is so relaxing that I was able to find my center. Thank you for offering such beautiful clothes and accessories and beautiful experiences for the body, soul and mind. I am a huge fan!You can feel the warmth and good intentions as soon as you walk in the door. Thank for your providing some of the tools I need/want to continue on my path of transformation (and detox). Thank you!"  Suzette Latsko

Five Star Reviews are in for Seeking Indigo

 "The atmosphere is otherworldly which accentuates the therapeutic experience. I had an amazing foot bath which cleaned out many toxins in my body. I also enjoyed the "sampler" night which is more social than the private experience though it allowed me to see many other facets of what this great place will do for my body and soul." That's just one of the many 5-Star Reviews about Seeking Indigo.

Happy Mothers Day to All!

What are you grateful for?

 With each day that passes at Seeking Indigo, we are reminded of the amazing power of this vision. We are inspired to push harder, reflect more and, in the midst of our creation bliss, stop and remember that the power of Seeking Indigo is not in just one of us; it is all. From our staff to our business colleagues to our amazing customers. 

We give tours of our Wellness Center every day. Behind the ancient hand-carved Indonesian wooden doors lies a vast space brimming with health and wellness. It was the last tour of the day. A lady asked if she could be escorted back to see what was behind the doors, and I gladly agreed. The doors opened, we stepped inside and all of a sudden she stopped. She turned and quickly walked out. At first I was a little miffed by what was happening, but then I could see she was searching a bit frantically for her significant other. She grabbed his hand and dragged him to me. 

We entered the space again, and with wide eyes he said, "Wow, this is amazing.. it is so beautiful." She turns to both of us and replied, "Yes it is, but I want you to close your eyes. I don't want you to look at it. I want you to breathe it in and FEEL the space." 

At that moment I closed my eyes with the strangers and stood there for a long time. It felt incredible to breathe in this creation that each and every one of you have contributed to, just by walking in and revering the space. It is powerful. It is healing. It is magical and the only reason is because we give it meaning. We are so grateful for each one that walks in door and experiences Seeking Indigo--not just sees it or buys something but really takes an experience home with them to share with others. We are thankful and humbled that our Wellness Center is powerful and moves people just walking in the door. Magical.

Far Infrared Heat Therapy...East Meets West Once Again

Infrared Heat is a fascinating thing. It has been documented that over a thousand years ago the Chinese would throw specks of Jade into their fires because they knew the medicinal benefits of Infrared waves. Today we can use our advancements in technology to harness the ancient secrets of the East to have the best of both worlds. Still intimidated or not quite sure just how this amazing detoxification tool works? Read on, Seeker of all things East meets West...

What Exactly is Infrared Heat Technology?

Sunlight is a combination of light that is both visible and invisible; within the visible light you'll find the seven colors of the rainbow, and amongst the invisible light you'll find both infrared and ultraviolet rays. Far infrared waves penetrate deep into our bodies causing deep heating which activates the sweat glands and dissolve harmful substances accumulated in the body. The sweat glands offer one of only a few mechanisms that the body has to eliminate toxins and since the skin is the largest organ in the human body, it's a great means for elimination. The Infrared Rays vitalize your cells and metabolism while helping to improve blood circulation and recovery from fatigue.

Why use Far Infrared Saunas instead of Traditional Saunas?

Infrared heaters warm the body in the same manner as natural sunlight whereas traditional saunas raise the air temperature within the chamber to warm the body, which can often leave many individuals with difficulty breathing. In the far infrared sauna, the body perspires and receives all of the healthy benefits but avoids the harmful and extremely hot air of a traditional steam sauna. By heating the body from the inside out, the result is deeper tissue penetration which results in a much reduced loss of hydration. How Does Far Infrared Heat Work? Our bodies are comprised of over 70% water. When far infrared waves are applied to water molecules, they begin to vibrate. This vibration reduces the ion bonds and the eventual breakdown of the water molecules causes encapsulated gases and other toxic materials to be released. The sun is the primary source of radiant energy, but not all of this energy is beneficial. Although life needs energy from the sun, too much sunlight damages the skin. Far infrared heat provides all the healthy benefits of natural sunlight without any of the dangerous effects of solar radiation. The efficacy of far infrared waves is very broad and the subject of recent study by NASA. Among the infrared waves, the far infrared rays, which have a wavelength of 8-14 microns, are especially good for the human body. These waves have the potential to penetrate 4 to 5 cm into the body allowing for deep heat and raising the body temperature from deep inside. The deep heat and far infrared is why scholars believe that the Ondol (traditional warm floor of Korea) is good for health because the materials for the Ondol are stone and earth - both of which naturally radiate far infrared waves when heated. Why Far Infrared Technology? Tests have shown that the energy output is tuned so closely to the body's own radiant energy that our bodies absorb as much as 93% of the far infrared waves that reach our skin. By comparison, conventional saunas must rely only on indirect means of heat: first, on convection (air currents) and then, conduction (direct contact of hot air with the skin) to produce its heating effect. Is Infrared Heat Safe? Absolutely. In fact, infrared heat is all around us; all things give off and receive infrared heat. Take you hands and hold your palms about 1/2 an inch apart - you will feel warmth eminating from your palms. This is far infrared heat. Radiant far infrared is all around us and is essential for human life.

Try our infrared sauna, the migun massage experience or Thai massage with the amythest bio-mat. All have wonderful effects of infrared heat technology.

A Theory of Everything

Have you ever wanted to know everything? Have you ever wanted to know the secrets of the universe? What if it was possible to read and retain every major work in history, be it literature, science, politics, religion etc.? What if you had the capacity and concentration to practice and master methods to traverse all of the states of consciousness: gross, subtle, causal, and non-dual? What if you could take all of that knowledge and all of that invaluable experience and integrate it into a system of understanding that you could then teach to others in an effort to uplift the universe? Sounds like a daughting task, huh? Well it's a good thing that the Zen master and genius Ken Wilber has done all of that for you. Check out his book “The Integral Vision" for a great introduction to his Theory of Everything, which might just reinvigorate your journey to wake up.
