Touch has long been known as a healing modality. Trained touch, in the form of therapeutic massage, is one of the most powerful tools for releasing tension, healing specific conditions, or exploring the mind-body connection. Massage received on a regular basis is a commitment you can make to improved self-care, healing of body and soul, and a greater sense of feeling at home in your body.

Massage therapy can be used with a variety of intentions, including:

Relaxation

In our stress-filled world, everyone can benefit from setting aside a period of time to let go of worries, to relax, and to simply receive. What better gift can you give yourself or a loved one? While on vacation, or as a short vacation from your normal routine, treat yourself to a relaxing, rejuvenating massage.

Body/Mind Integration

Many of us do not connect what we feel in our bodies to what we think or feel emotionally. However, Body, Mind, and Spirit are truly one.

Strongly held beliefs, conscious or not, physical or emotional trauma, negative messages from ourselves or others, and unexpressed feelings can all be stored in the body’s tissues. This can lead to physical symptoms and a blocking of the body’s energy flow. Over a period of time, massage can help to unwrap those areas, ventilating the feelings brought to consciousness and allowing exploration of emotional issues in a safe and nurturing environment.

While there is no rule that one has to deal with these things, if you are interested in expanding self-understanding and feeling more comfortable in your body, massage can be a useful tool to help in that process.
