It’s amazing how
just cleaning out a cupboard or a drawer can make us feel so much better; the
process of throwing away things we don’t use or need anymore, creating space
and freshening things up is certainly good for the soul.
So if like me you’re
enjoying a good sort out this Easter then spare a thought for your body and
mind which may also be in need of a good spring clean!
Here’s how a
spring clean massage can help....
Let go of what
you don't need
1. Improved effectiveness of the lymphatic system flushes out toxins from the body helping you to feel lighter and invigorated.
2. Physically working into areas of the body releases all that stress
and tension you've been collecting.
3. A sense of relaxation will leave you feeling like your thoughts have
been De-cluttered!
Clean inside those hidden places
1. Stretch out all those muscles that have been scrunched up from the cold and release all that tension your bodies been holding onto.
2. Physically working into tight, congested muscles allows built up toxins to be released thus easing aches and pains.
Create some space
1. Releasing tension allows your shoulders to drop and space to be created around your head, neck and shoulders which allows for a better posture.
2. Stretching, lengthening and realigning the muscles to where they should be creates space in the body enabling better circulation of blood and lymph, greater mobility and freedom of movement.
3. Relax, breathe and empty your mind!
Freshen up
1. Breaking down knots. adhesions, stretching and realigning muscle fibres allows fresh nutrient rich blood to flow unimpeded around the body thus improving the health of internal organs
2. The life force energy known as 'prana', 'Chi' or 'Ki' in different traditions such as yoga and martial arts is encouraged to move freely around the body as stagnant trapped energy is released. This brings life and balance back to the body, mind and spirit.
