15 - 30 minutes of Reiki (during a 90-minute session, 30 - 60 minutes for a 120-minute session) will begin the session to allow you to really relax deeply on the massage table. Then the therapeutic massage will begin and it incorporates a variety of advanced modalities that enhance the body’s natural restorative functioning. Light to firm touch is used to release tension, relax muscles, increase blood and lymph circulation, and impart a sense of calm. Reiki-infused therapeutic massage can be used as a collaborative, supportive addition to conventional medical treatment of illness and injury, alleviating pain and stress, aiding soft tissue healing, and revitalizing the body. Also, Reiki Infused Therapeutic massage can enhance health, providing relaxation, the release of muscle tightness, relief from anxiety and tensions, and balancing aspects of body/mind/spirit. Want all the benefits of a massage but do not have to take your clothes off then take a look at the benefits of Reiki.

REIKI ~
This is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by “laying on hands” and is based on the idea that an unseen “life force energy” flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one’s “life force energy” is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy. Reiki makes such a powerful force on this planet; namely, the connection to our hearts. Offering the life force without acknowledging the heart connection is to minimize the very thing we are all longing for unconditional love. This is the true spiritual component that makes our work so satisfying. This is the fundamental healing element within Reiki that connects us to all living things. A Reiki treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. It treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind, and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relations and feelings of peace, security, and well being. Reiki is not only an option for physical healing but mental, emotional, and spiritual growth as well. By opening up to this energy, it is often believed that those individuals would be more capable of seeing the synchronicity in life and be able to let life flow. Although Reiki has traditionally been used as a healing system, it is also effective as a way to help increase awareness, insight, wisdom, and personal growth. After all, it is the energy that connects our higher self with everything around us. It is a bridge between the ancient traditions of healing and the modern-day scientific model. Reiki is safe to use if you have medical conditions such as epilepsy, diabetes, or heart conditions. You may receive a Reiki treatment if you are undergoing chemotherapy. Pregnant women can have Reiki treatments to support them through all stages of pregnancy. Reiki is for everyone!

$90 for 60 minutes of this rejuvenating treatment or $120 for 60 minute Reiki session with a 30-minute intuitive counsel afterward. CHAKRA BALANCING ~
Even though the body appears to be a material object, in reality, it’s a field of energy, transformation, and intelligence. When we look beyond the molecules that make up the matter of the body, we see fields of energy. This technic is a way that I can detect these subtle energy vibrations and it gives me insight into the health of your energetic body. Centers or wheels of energy are called chakras, and each of these centers identifies a core human need. When a center is open, the energy that flows through that chakra allows needs to be met more effortlessly. If there is a blockage in one area, energy becomes stagnant and intentions are more difficult to actualize. During a session, I will work with you to activate your energy centers by placing attention and intention on the location of each chakra, and by using the vibration of specific symbols, or mantras, to increase the flow of energy. Put simply, this ancient practice leads to deep purification, transformation, and rejuvenation. You can benefit from Chakra Balancing if you wish to:

~ Release emotional pain from past experiences that get stored at a subtle level of the body
~ Experience more vitality
~ Shift the energy around deeply rooted behaviors, helping you break free of old conditioned patterns
~ Nourish and develop specific positive traits
~ Experience greater ease and clarity during a transition of any sort
~ Deeply cleanse and nourish your energetic channels
~ Supplement and support your spiritual, meditation, and yoga practice
~ Enliven your inner intelligence, allowing you to bloom into your full potential

$90 for 60 minutes or $120 for 60 minute Reiki session with a 30-minute intuitive counsel afterward. YOGA ~
Please take a look at the schedule here ~ http://www.BodyMindSoulCR.com/yoga/yoga-classes-and-pricing

Danni instructs Hatha Yoga, Gente yoga, and Restorative

Private Yoga instruction for one or larger groups is also available. Please contact Danni for availability and pricing. MEDITATION ~
The term “meditation” can refer to any process that leads you to an inner state of relaxed awareness. There needn’t be any big mystery or drama about the process itself, and there’s really no right or wrong way of doing it. There are simply different techniques that can be used as tools to help you focus and quiet your mind. We have all seen the vision of the yogi sitting crossed legged wearing robes and perhaps meditating in a cave. This is not what meditation is about for most of us and starting with an unrealistic idea of what mediations is about won’t make it an enjoyable experience for you. I still have a hard time quieting my mind and I find that my mediation practice is more fulfilling for me while I’m in nature. The main purpose here is to help you develop a meditation practice that’s right for you. It should be something you feel comfortable doing and that you’re willing and able to do it regularly. Meditation guidance is on a donation basis so what do you have to lose for learning technics to quieting the mind and alleviating stress from your life! Gift certificates are available for any and all services. What better way to show someone you care about them body, mind & soul!

✨SELF CARE✨

Something that just came to me that I wanted to share ~

Self-care looks different for everyone. For some people, it could mean not picking up the phone after 9 p.m. For others, it could mean making an effort to spend time with family more regularly. Maybe it means taking a bath on stressful days. Whatever makes you feel good, a well-crafted self-care plan should consider a holistic view of your lifestyle and needs. Try this three-step process to get you on the right track:

1. Take some quiet time and make three columns—one for the mind, the second for the body, and the third for the soul.

2. Brainstorm about the things, however big or small, you can do to infuse your life with more balance.

3. Circle two ideas in each column and commit to them for 21 days.
Cultivate wellness in all categories, and you’ll likely maintain good health.

Let me know how it goes or if you want assistance with more personal care ideas.

To recognize the nature of your mind is to engender in the ground of your being an understanding that will change your entire worldview and help you discover and develop, naturally and spontaneously, a compassionate desire to serve all beings, as well as a direct knowledge of how best you can do so, with whatever skill or ability you have, in whatever circumstances you find yourself.

Today's thoughts.

I came across a statement today that really struck a cord in me. The right doors won’t open for you until you become the version of yourself that’s supposed to walk through them. WOW! T…

It's amazing how the Universe will show us the way of our path if we remain open to its guidance.

I thought it was time to step away from the BMS branding and work on my individuality as a practitioner in the healing arts but I'm now being shown that I should continue with BMS. So with all of that, I will continue to use this page to showcase my offerings and talents.

The way I show up on this page will be different. I will be using my own voice instead of showcasing other's quotes and teachings.

I look forward to the continued love and support from you all.

Namaste~

As I am now settled into a temporary one-bedroom apartment, I am also able to focus more back on myself and what’s important to me. I have been in temporary housing since the 6th of June. I h…

There is a HUGE change about to happen for the Body Mind Soul story and for me, the practitioner, Danni Mares.

I'm super grateful for the start of my business in Playa Samara, Costa Rica, back in 2012 and the years I spent there helping others. I am also thankful for my time in Lake County, IL, and the yogis and clients I was able to share time and space with there. All these places and times have allowed me to learn through trial and error the right way to be in service to others. In my 13 years of practicing in the healing arts, I have discovered my gifts of being highly intuitive and I am an empath. Wonderful tools for assisting others walk their life path. I am super worthy and valuable to my clients beyond giving a deep tissue massage or a yoga class on the beach or in the park.

This time in Puerto Jimenez has given me an awakening to the shift in how I present myself in the world. Over the past year, I have realized that I have been hiding behind the Body Mind Soul brand. I just recently healed an aspect of myself and I am now ready to step into my light and offer my healing services through my own identity.

Unfortunately, I won't be sharing too much on my personal FB page for I like to keep it light and breezy there but on my IG page: is where you will find me diving deeper into sharing my real passionate work. I will be sharing about energy work, Holistic Life Coaching, and what yoga studios I will be instructing at with special events in the Chicagoland area. I am also in the midst of a course called Psychedelic Medicine Preparation and Integration. God willing, I will be certified at the end of August and then I will be incorporating that into my offerings as well.

What does it mean for BMS and this page, well first thing is first and I need to make it back to Chicago to get myself set up. Once I have my footing I'd like to start working to create retreats to bring to Costa Rica in addition to other locations in this world.

So as I take the next month to travel, heal some more(that journey for me seems to never stop hahaha), and just be here in Costa Rica there won't be any posts on this page. I know there are some of you who really appreciate the quotes and insights I offer daily. I will get back to sharing when my time permits but as of now I need to focus on Danni Mares as a person and as a business. As soon as I have my new website up and running I will post about that but in the meantime, you can always follow me on IG.

Thank you to ALL the past yoga students, clients, and those I've never met but like what I have posted here. It's been great to share and be part of a community with you all.

Light & Love ~
Danni

Our Story

Hatha yoga is a branch of yoga that focuses on asana (physical poses), pranayama (breath), and meditation to align the body and mind. Classes move at a slow to moderate pace allowing students to find a balance between strength and flexibility, resulting in increased awareness and relaxation. Gentle yoga classes are typically described as appropriate for those who want a softer, nurturing, slow-paced, well-supported, and relaxing practice. Restorative yoga is a practice that is all about slowing down and opening your body through passive stretching. During the long holds of 5 to 10 minutes for each position, your muscles are allowed to relax deeply. It's a unique feeling because props, rather than your muscles, are used to support your body. Private Yoga instruction for one or larger groups is also available. Please contact Danni for availability and pricing.
