Massage and MeditationIn today’s fast paced society, massage and meditation techniques are being used in greater numbers than ever before.
Massage relaxes tense muscles, helps loosen stiff joints and soothes the
nervous system. Massage is used to treat stress, fatigue, back ache and
insomnia. In fact, any part of the body feels better after being
massaged.
Meditation helps re-balance
the emotional state; it reduces stress and aids us in reflecting on what
is important in our lives. During meditation, we clear our mind of
worries and allow it focus. The stresses of everyday living often build
up in our lives and it is important to take some “time out” and spend
some time in quiet contemplation. Meditation produces beneficial
chemicals known as endorphins, it helps with respiratory problems, helps
normalize blood pressure and reduces emotional problems such as panic
attacks. Both massage and meditation bring immediate results and the long term benefits increase in intensity the longer you continue.
Research
has shown that stress is a contributing factor in many diseases. The
benefits of massage and meditation cannot be underestimated in relieving
the stress and helping to prevent the onset of some of these major
health issues.
At The Middle Path we seamlessly blend these two methods to produce profoundly deep relaxation and well being.
