From the Author
Content summary"Imagine feeling so relaxed you are almost floating. The tension in your neck has lifted. Your head no longer feels heavy. The strain across your shoulders has magically dissolved......These are just a few of the many benefits of head massage...." from a 3 page feature review of 'Step-by-step Head Massage' in the Daily Express.
Head massage is not only a relaxing treatment, it is also a powerful preventative therapy. This book covers techniques from Indian head massage, Shiatsu, Ki healing, and accupressure. There are techniques for working on pressure points, meridians, zones, still points, muscles etc. to reduce stress and tension, lower blood pressure, disperse toxins, boost immunity, and help hormonal balance. The pulsing rhythms of the cerebrospinal fluid are balanced and a calming relaxation is brought to the fascia - the inner connective tissue running throughout your body - which, if it is in a state of constant tension, can detrimentally affect your whole health.
'Ste-by-step Head Massage' also combines massage with meditations and visualisations to produce a state of deep relaxation in which the body's own self healing mechanisms are encouraged into a harmony which brings about whole body well-being.
'Step-by-step Head Massage' contains fully illustrated basic techniques, programmes for self treatment and working with a partner - in the seated and lying down positions, ear accupressure, treatments for the eyes (which can help to stabilise and even improve some eye conditions) and a chapter on treatments for over twenty common ailments. There is a separate chapter about meditations. A chapter of meditations and strokes to encourage the development of the senses and to open awareness. Meditations also accompany all treatments to focus and enhance the depth of self healing. Illustrated guides to meridians, still points in the head and neck; pressure points, areas and zones of the face and ears; areas of the endocrine and lymphatic systems, which are located in the head and neck, are also included.
By using these techniques to focus and direct the massage, not only will the condition of your hair and scalp improve, but your whole being will be brought into balance, producing good health.
