There has never
been as much interest in mindfulness and meditation as there is right now. Mindfulness
is a popular trend in the worlds of business, sports and self-improvement—and
massage.
Leading
companies are teaching it to their employees to manage stress. Elite athletes
use it to stay calm and perform under pressure. People are discovering how
making mindfulness part of their lives can have a significantly positive
impact.
Mindfulness can
help you be more productive, less stressed and more effective as a therapist.
Mindful massage is easy to do and can increase your client’s enjoyment of the
massage experience, and yours as well.
Meditation is now mainstream and we all know the importance of
mindfulness and being present. But how often do we put our meditation
techniques into practise during everyday activities? Probably not as often as
we should. Sometimes we don’t even realise just how much meditation may be able
to enhance an experience for us. Mindful Massage is a great example of this.
For some, switching off during a massage is a simple thing, but
for others it’s difficult to calm the mind enough to fully enjoy the
experience. This is when the idea of meditating during a massage comes into
play. Often referred to as a Mindful Massage, it simply means staying present
and focused during your treatment.
Bringing mindfulness into your everyday life will create
practical and obvious benefits, as opposed to the more subtle benefits of
regular meditation. During hectic or
stressful times, we often dwell on the past or worry about the future, losing
touch with ourselves in the process. Mindful Massage helps you to detach
from rambling thoughts and learn to live in the present and connect to your
breath.
By combining it with massage, enable you to tune in to your
body’s thoughts and feelings and discover new meditation skills, which you can
apply to your daily life. Interactive yet relaxing, it eases and transforms
tight, contracted muscles, while providing guided affirmations and
visualisations that create positive feelings and thoughts. Pauses of stillness
and silence are also integral to a treatment that helps restore wellbeing in a
safe, nurturing environment.
As stresses and worries melt away and you learn to exist in a
healthier way, Mindful Massage helps create the potential for real change
in your life. By recognising and acknowledging emotions, while learning not to
be crushed by them, you reconnect with your mind, body and spirit, and gain
clarity of vision.
Achieving greater control over your thoughts helps promote an
inner peace, which in turn allows you to cope better with life’s daily demands.
Mindful Massage is akin to taking a holiday without the need to travel:
divorced from your phone and computer, your energy and vitality is thoroughly
replenished.
