Massage therapy is very therapeutic for all levels of our being. On a physical level, it allows our body to experience full relaxation. It eases acute and chronic pain and helps fatigue. On a mental level, positive touch is so powerful to our psyche. In our culture so many of us are living isolated. Massage therapy can greatly benefit our emotional and mental levels leaving us feeling nurtured. On a spiritual level, massage offers us a chance to slow down and tune into our inner world and reconnect to ourselves.
Stress has a profound effect on our bodies, studies show that stress has a primary role in 90% of all diseases. Massage can erase stress and promote gentleness. It can work psychologically to let go of negative emotions and unhealthy patterns we may be holding. This creates harmony for our soul. Taking care of ourselves is so vital, so often we give so much to others that we forget ourselves. Self-nurturing is not selfish but imperative for our health and wellness.
