THE ZEN MASSAGE
There are very many massage techniques in existence today;
some of them stemming from the far Eastern World of antiquity
while others originated in the more recent years of the Western
world. Although they were born out of very different
philosophical and cultural persuasions, each of these
obtainable massage techniques provides some aspects of
relaxation but none does it as thoroughly as does the one which
was born in Austin, Texas and christened as the Zen
Massage. Zen, by the way, is an ancient Chinese
discipline which means “meditation” and it focuses on the
meditative portion of the dharma practice and the experiential
wisdom which is also called the zazen or the path of
enlightenment. It, therefore, steers away from
theoretical knowledge and theology.
By reaching into the very heart of hearts of every cell of
the body, the Zen Massage epitomizes what utter and unequivocal
calm, peace and a relaxed state of being feels. Combining
an assortment of highly sophisticated and time tested and
proven techniques, the Zen Massage affords its subjects a
spontaneous soothing and an energy balanced experience of
picture perfect enormity. The various features which are
part and parcel of the entirely therapeutic Zen Massage
treatment are as follows:
* The Heated Stones. This is a curative procedure
which makes use of hot stones which are moved along the
subject’s muscles in smooth gliding motions and well calculated
pressure.
* The Hot Towel Pore Cleanse. This purifying treatment
involves the use of freshly steamed towels applied to the
entire body. The heat of the towels opens the pores to
cleanse and revitalize the outer skin (epidermis) while also
reaching into the lower layers, the dermis and the
hypodermis.
* The Bio Mat. The Bio Mat calms down and relaxes
tight and sore muscles while it quiets and soothes irritated
nerves. The Bio Mat transports the subject into the realm
of a complete state of wellbeing on the physical as well as on
the psychological levels.
* The Aromatherapy. Pure essential oils are used for
this aromatherapy treatment to help the subject relax as stress
is melted away and complete balance and wellness overcome him
or her.
* The Peppermint Bliss Foot Massage. The peppermint
bliss foot massage smoothes and softens tired and aching feet
for a feeling of harmony and peace which radiate from the tips
of the toes to the crown of the head.
The Zen Massage therapy is a noninvasive and natural massage
treatment which has been clinically proven to be completely
safe while being highly effective in relieving stress which has
also been proven to be the leading cause of countless
physiological and mental health problems. Some of the
most significant benefits that have been attributed to the
effectiveness of the Zen Massage therapy are:
* The lowering of high blood pressure which in medical terms
is referred to as hypertension and has been often spoken about
as the “silent killer.”
* The improvement of the REM sleep. The REM stands for
rapid eye movement and it is characterized by, you guessed it,
rapid eye movements. It also includes rapid low voltage
EEG which is commonly spoken of as brain waves. On the
average, a healthy adult spends approximately 20 to 25 percent
of a total night’s sleep in the REM phase and it is essential
to good health.
* The decrease of fatigue of the body and the mind which
naturally leads to enhanced concentration and improved motor
skills.
In conclusion, the Zen Massage therapy helps its subjects to
release their worries, unwind their bodies, relax their
tensions, quiet their minds and ease their senses.
