The massage room or space
Massage master at work
Massage is a versatile healing art, it can be done almost anywhere from living rooms to bedrooms or spare rooms, and serious practitioners will have a room set aside for massage, and perhaps some other spiritual practices.
Some massage can also be done in public places usually without the person completely undressing and it is common for many therapists to work on beaches or in malls.
Physical Space In nice weather or if you reside in a tropical country, massage can be done outdoors out of direct sunlight. But for privacy and warmth in cooler climates, the massage room is a warm space and ideally is large enough that

Starting your massage on the back
1. A nice position for doing back massage. But make sure you are not too heavy or crushing the persons knees.
Please ensure you have read the Theory, Health & Safety information then you can begin to massage at almost any place on the body, however we begin on the back as people are generally more comfortable having their back touched.

Massage the feet but please don’t tickle
Unless they are particularly ticklish most people enjoy having their feet massaged and this can also be an important component of a full body treatment. When they are ticklish, keep your strokes firmer and more deliberately non tickley.
It is generally thought that there are nerve endings in the feet relating to the entire body so a foot massage can be as therapeutic as a full body massage, sometimes more so. Remember that the whole point of massage is to have the person relax completely and it’s not uncommon for people to go to sleep. If they do, complete the treatment.
Generally you do not need oil to massage the feet if you

A genuine Indian head massage
There’s nothing else so good as a complete head and face massage. It smooths out not only those wrinkles and make the recipient look younger, it’s deeply relaxing and recipients often fall asleep,
Warning – do not get oil in in the eyes, and without training, it’s best to totally avoid touching the eyes. Normally when you have massaged other parts of the body the residue of oil on your hands is sufficient for the face as facial skin is naturally more oily than the rest of the body and adding oil can leave the face feeling greasy and unpleasant.
Even with the thought of only doing a facial massage, the treatment is far more

A problem of your own creation
Depression first off is something you have created in your own mind and if you feel that some one or some others are responsible for your state of mind, then you must know that you are a slave to that person or others.
The real freedom comes from truly knowing and taking responsibility for yourself, something that’s easier said than done so much so that a guru is often needed to help you sort reality from fantasy.
But here we discuss physical things you can do to relieve depression. Just like our mind can affect our body, our body can affect our mind. Often times, anxiety and tension will build

With a little rubbing, the ouch soon goes away
Massage is an instinctive human response that when we bump ourselves, we rub the sore spot and the ‘ouch’ soon goes away. This basic instinct has been slowly developed over the countless generations into a sophisticated healing art and science in some form in over most of the World.
Egypt had a well developed social structure 5,500 years ago and people may have used massage then. Imhotep, the physician and architect recorded his knowledge of aromatic oils or unguents made by mixing aromatic plants, resins and gums with oils or fats.
The use of massage in India goes back a long way with written records appearing around 1500 BC. But it

A formula for happy babies
Baby massage has long been a part of the Ayurvedic tradition of India and today its usefulness is catching on in the west. Mothers are discovering that by rubbing their children from birth keeps them more contented, better socialised and less inclined to act up.
When babies are unusually or unreasonably temperamental, when they cry for no apparent reason or they wake up crying, it’s hard to know exactly what’s wrong with them. It could be colic, it could be wind or a whole host of other things.
But the improved mother baby bonding that is achieved through regular massage can give mothers a deeper perception into their child’s condition and the massage also

An ancient art for modern times
The Lomi Lomi style of holistic bodywork is often referred to as ‘the Rolls Royce of massage’ that’s best known for the deeply relaxing long strokes that sweep the body from tip to toe, over and under, massaging two areas simultaneously and fully engaging the senses so that stress evaporates. As well as being deeply healing, this massage style can also be a divine or transcendental experience.
While Lomi Lomi or Kahuna style massage is thought of as having its roots in Hawaii and other Pacific Islands, it’s actual beginnings were likely bought from India as Hindu’s have been sailing the Pacific for thousands of years. This massage has many modern counterparts; in the

Self care and healing through touch
Massage has been proven to support general health and wellbeing, it has also proved effective in treating many acute and chronic health problems, therefore it stands to reason that massage will also help to maintain the health of the breasts.
Remember that massage primarily helps our bodies by facilitating the removal of toxins and waste products while improving circulation in the treated areas. From the perspective of massage, breasts are important and as deserving of treatment as any other part of the body.
Enshrined Ignorance With the advent of registration, commercialisation and developing political correctness within the massage industry, the female breasts have been omitted in many massage school curriculum’s. The USA is the
