What are the Benefits of Indian Head Massage?

Indian Head massage can provide you with amazing physical and psychological benefits.
Physical Benefits
Relieves insomnia
Chronic stress can be the reason for insomnia and poor sleep quality. Indian head massage helps to relieve stress and tension within the body by promoting relaxation which in turn allows you to sleep better.
Reduces sinusitis
Working on the cheekbone pressure points during the massage can be useful to relieve blocked sinuses.
Aids in the relief of migraines
Headaches and migraines are often caused due to tension in the mid back, neck and head. Indian head massage focuses on applying pressure to the mid back, arms and shoulders to reduce tension in the muscles. Also, massage around the neck and head encourages circulation of cerebral fluid and reduces headache causing blockages.
Stimulates lymphatic drainage
The lymphatic system is responsible for removing waste products from the tissues and Indian head massage aids in this process by stimulating lymphatic drainage and blood flow from our neck. Improved lymph drainage allows the naturally produced toxic waste to be excreted from our body.
Promotes Hair Growth
Massage to the scalp and head increases nourishment and supply of oxygen to the hair follicles which in turn stimulates hair growth.
Psychological Benefits
Relieves symptoms of anxiety and depression
Massaging the head stimulates the supply of oxygen to the brain. This is one of the best ways to reduce anxiety levels and improve your mood.
Improves memory capabilities
Often our brain is overloaded with disorganised thoughts, making it very difficult for us to recall memories and occurrences. The Indian head massage can slow you down, make you feel detached and serene by relieving your stress and  tension, leaving you all calm and relaxed.

The 5 main types of massage movements and benefits

Image
There are a variety of different strokes used during a typical massage routine. This depends on the style of massage, the clients  requirements and how the therapist conducts her treatment.  When I am working on a client I personally like to use a variety of massage movements not only to enable the massage to be as effective as possible, but also so that I can tailor make the session to cater for each individuals needs as client satisfaction is extremely important to my practice. Below is a summary of the main massage movements used in swedish massage which is the most common style of massage practised,the reasons for each stroke and the benefits that are gained as a result. All the strokes are done in an upwards motion towards the heart. The strokes are described as I personally use them and in order for what I have found to be the most effective way of practicing but each therapist obviously has their own method of what works best for them and their treatment. ...

What are defence mechanisms and how can we recognise them in our self and others?

What are defence mechanisms and how can we recognise them in our self and others? Everyone one of us if we choose to be completely honest with ourselves have at some time in our life used defence mechanisms as a way of protecting ourselves from feelings which arise as a result of our ego feeling threatened in some way and coming under attack. Defence mechanisms are not something we can always consciously control, they can often be non voluntaristic but can often lead to what others may perceive as unpleasant behaviour leading to inevitable judgement if they are not recognised for what they are. A huge reason why I am so passionate about tantra is that it encourages people to remove the mask and be free to be who they really are and yet so many of us continue to wear these masks to enable us to continue feeling confident in our everyday lives. Unfortunately, we are often our own harshest critic and for most people situations that bring uncertainty into our lives can often trig...

  Why is following a diet designed for your individual blood type so important? Part 2 In a previous post I explored Dr Peter J. Adamo book “Eat right for your type” which suggested that following a diet specifically recommended for individual blood types diet could have a huge impact on health and wellbeing.   I decided to explore this issue of blood types further and uncovered other fascinating concepts that can be derived from blood type including the exercise recommended to allow the body to operate at an optimum level, personality characteristics and recommended careers which would be suitable. Some of the information stated below is taken directly from Dr Adamo’s book. Through my research I have shared below what I discovered about each of the blood types, of course as individuals this may differ from your own personal characteristics but perhaps see if you can relate in any way …In Japan blood type is particularly favoured in relating to compatibility in Love and jo...
