Asian Massage
from: Brad J. JamersonRelax and refresh, Asian style!
Asia. The home of various practices that bring about pleasure,
pain, enlightenment, power, vigor, strength, wisdom and so many
others. Naturally, with a land so keen on knowing the in and
outs of the human body and soul, Asia is also the heart of one
of the best relaxation techniques known to man. That is, the
massage.
The kinds of Asian massage available out there are as varied as
the type of massage oils. Each with its own unique feature that
defines itself, Asian massages are a joy to experience. Not only
are Asian massages soothing and relaxing, they also provide
comfort and nurturing. To enumerate all the types of Asian
massages will take some time, so here are a few popular choices:
Shiatsu Originally from Japan, this popular Asian massage makes
use of the fingers and acupuncture points so ingrained in the
Oriental way of healing. An alternate form of acupuncture,
Shiatsu focuses on controlling and regulating the flow of life
energy in the body. The technique itself redirects this energy
and brings back balance to the organs to encourage healing.
After a while, the slow pressure brings about relaxation and
relief as blood flow is stimulated. As well as improving the
flow of blood, this technique may also trigger the body's
mechanism against diseases. To the more practical minded, let's
just say that the technique releases endorphins, which bring
about the relief of pain.
Acupressure One of the most ancient Chinese healing arts,
acupressure uses the fingers to press focal points on the body
that promotes the body's self-healing. This Asian massage
technique is quite handy for self-treatment of tension or stress
related illnesses. Not only that is can relieve pain,
acupressure is also known to lift anxiety and promote good
sleep.
AMMA OR ANMA Amma or Anma means "massage" in the Japanese
language. The amma technique is made up of various presses,
strokes, stretches and manipulations using one's thumb, hands,
elbows, knees and even feet. Amma is based on the principles of
kata, a dance like exercise that emphasizes on setting up a
rhythm, pace, precision and form. Amma is fairly flexible and
can be done on a variety of places since there are no oils
needed and there is no need to shed clothing.
Ayuvedric Massage In the Ayuvedric style of Asian massages, to
detoxify and to rejuvenate are the key points. Originating from
India, the entire body is massaged vigorously, using a good
amount of warmed oil and herbs that eliminates toxins from the
body. If the client permits it, the oil is even poured into the
ears, between the eyebrows and specific energy points. Advocates
claim a powerful effect on their senses - a blanket of calm,
balance and inner peace.
Champissage Champissage is a branch of the Ayuvedric technique
that deals almost exclusively with the upper half of the body.
This Asian massage promotes blood circulation in the scalp and
nourishes hair roots. The technique is not only to the scalp,
but also extends to massage the face, neck, ears, neck, shoulder
and the upper arms. It proves to be an effective way of
relieving eye strain and headaches, as well as lethargy.
Thai Massage The Thailand branch of the Asian massages is can be
called Nuad Bo Rarn. Developed and practiced in Thailand for
about 2000 and something years, it is said that credits for it's
conception go to a certain Shivago Komarpaj, an Indian doctor
said to be the personal physician of Buddha. With impressive
origins like these, it's no wonder that the Thai massage theory
also deals with the stimulation of energy within the body. It is
believed that the body has thousands of sen or energy lines that
are stimulated externally to bring about the specific desired
internal effects. This technique is best done on a firm mat, not
a table and does not require the shedding of clothes.
Whew, where to start? So many Asian massages, so little time.
The thing is to pick one you're most interested in and just try
it out!
