Massage is an ancient tradition. It has existed since the dawn of time and had naturally appear at the same time that man has learned to use his hands.
Today, in our hectic lives, massage can be a good way to combat stress and tension.
The good news is that everyone can massage and be massaged. There are still some tribes in massages that are provided to each other by all family members.
Some may say that one must be trained in massage for massage. Nay! If you do not do massage therapy, and that you stay within the family, it is very easy and beneficial massage.
What does it take for a good massage?
Although in absolute terms, it does nothing to fault other than your hands, your intuition and a person to massage, some things can improve in ways very enjoyable time spent doing this massage.
We leave here on the premise that you would like to massage the whole body requires a minimum of time (30 minutes). Of course, if you rub the head or hands or feet, you may not need all that follows.
You need:
- The 2 people are clean (not very nice to massage someone with dirty feet).
- A pleasant room, heated but not sure where you can feel well enough to let go.
- Avoid bright light and prefer the cozy atmosphere of a few candles.
- The person must wear mass sufficiently large so as not to hinder his movement.
- The person must be massaged naked (can cover with a towel body parts).
- Provide the massage oil.
- Ability to scent the massage oil with essential oils.
- You can also burn a little incense or disseminate essential oils with a diffuser (careful if you are already a fragrant oil to massage do not mix too many scents that could end up being annoying).
- You can put a little relaxing music (his low enough).
- A massage table (much more comfortable than a bed or couch).
- A stool that allows you to massage parts of the body - for example the feet or head - as you relax too.
When everything is ready, you can start the meeting.
If you know nothing about massage, you can follow the tips below:
- Start the session by the person lie on his back and ask him to close his eyes and let go to relax.
- And center yourself. ie you take a moment to put yourself in the mindset conducive to the massage that you will do. Oh, nothing complicated. It's about being there, fully present to the care that you provide. Try to listen to the wisdom of your own body and the body of the request from that to which you will be massaged. It sounds complicated like that, but just let yourself be guided by your intuition.
- Then gently touch the body of the person you massaged to make contact. Be guided by your feelings about what is right to do. You will then perhaps support, tapping, squeezing, stroking, roll the skin under your fingers, all more or less strongly. Stay in something nice for each other so that he can really relax.
- If parts are knotted (as shoulders or trapezoids for example), triturate gently before you go a little harder.
- Finish your massage gently touching all parts of the body that were massaged.
-Let the person enjoy the benefits after the massage (maybe she'll fall asleep) by covering it with a towel or blanket and let the light in the room only a few minutes.
