Synopsis
The new paradigm of healing requires both mind and body. Author Anne Kent Rush cites leading researchers who have discovered that massage improves health in premature babies, lowers anxiety in the depressed, helps asthmatics breathe better, improves students' ability to concentrate, and boosts immune function in HIV-positive patients. In light of these findings, the Western medical community is now recognizing, not to mention recommending, massage as an integral part of everyone's daily health regimen.
The massage strokes chosen for this collection correspond to the seven major energy centers of the body, or chakras, as they are referred to in traditional Hindu yoga techniques. The seven chakras are located in the cranial plexus, forehead plexus, throat plexus, cardiac plexus, solar plexus, belly plexus, and pelvic plexus. Each chakra contains a "spirit" spa, detailing mediation themes, and a "body" spa, explaining coinciding massage strokes. This mind/body approach to massage, infused with meditation, aromatherapy, and kinesthesiology, will deepen and balance your experience and nurture feelings of rejuvenation.
