Many of my clients ask me about maintenance between massage sessions, and about injury prevention, stress reduction, and relaxation techniques.
One thing I highly recommend is Self-Massage performed as part of your morning routine if you can make time~ or if not, in the evening before you sleep.
I recommend deep breathing (Pranayama) as soon as you wake up. Here is a simplified technique:
With your eyes closed breathe in deeply through your nose for a count of four, then exhale through your mouth for a count of eight. Do this at least 3 times, just laying face-up in bed in a relaxed state. Try to concentrate only on your breathing and nothing else. This technique is excellent for relaxation.
Then, briefly check your body for pain or discomfort. If something is bothering you, lay your hands on that area and massage it gently, concentrating on that area while consciously slowing down your breathing and keeping your eyes closed.
Afterwards, when you take a bath in a deep, Japanese-style tub, you may work on your body further with some simple techniques. These can be done while seated during a shower, or inside the bath itself. Self-massage works to keep your skin and muscles in optimal condition, from head to toe!
As a special service to my clients I show you simple self-massage, breathing and stretching techniques during my sessions, to help you maintain excellent health and well-being.
Remember- Mind and Body are One- Stress affects your Body as well as your Mind. Similarly, physical pain and maladies affect your Mind and cause stress.
I will expand on this in future posts. In the meantime- why not take time from your busy schedule for some self-maintenance- give me a call to book a relaxing massage or healing therapy today.
I look forward to seeing you soon and thank you very much for reading my thoughts.
Namaste!
