Art of the Touch is involved in massage and holistic therapy and teaching this methods. We believe that these methods can provide great benefits to people all over the world.
Hot stone massage is a specialized massage that uses smooth and heated stones. They are often basalt like the black volcanic rock that absorbs and retains the heat well. But the stones can be of other types. The heat is both deeply relaxing and helps tight muscles to release. White and cold stones also can be used.
What Happens During a Hot Stone Massage?
* Before you arrive, it is very important that the massage therapist sanitizes the stones and heats them in 120 to 150 degree water.
* During the massage, the therapist warms up the body with the traditional Swedish massage. Along the duration of the massage, you will be holding a heated stone. As the stone cools, the therapist replaces it with another one.
* The massage therapist might also leave heated stones in specific points along your spine, in the palms of your hand, on your belly, or even between your toes to improve the flow of energy in your body.
* If you have inflammation or muscle injury, cold stones are sometimes used.
What You Need To Know About Hot Stone Massage:
* The therapist uses many stones of various shapes and sizes.
* The heat of the stones helps muscles to release more quickly than in traditional massage.
You should speak up if the stones are too warm or the pressure is too intense.
Technique is very important. Sometimes, less experienced practitioners use too much pressure.
What is Crystal Healing?
Physics teaches us that all existing matter are made up of energy. Light is made up of certain wavelengths. Everything with mass is made up of small particles, which includes the human body and the energy that flows through it.
Each type of particles that exists has a certain frequency on which it vibrates. This is something that ancient holistic medicine has in common with modern science teachings. No part of the human body is permanently unmoved.
Experts in crystal healing continually believe that the imbalances in the body can cause certain types of illnesses. They have learned over the years that there is nothing more unique about the vibrational frequency of the matter in the human body. There are also many elements that can be found in nature that share these vibrational patterns.
For example, different types of crystal are said to be the proponents of crystal healing. They have the same energetic properties to a certain key energy points of the body.
For instance, when you place different audio speakers that are only playing the same thing, the volume will increase into harmonious wave amplification. As such, using crystals also bring vibrational rate on a certain part of the body. The person that is suffering from an illness will enhance the natural vibrations that lead to a healthy body and well being.
Crystals act as a guiding light to enhance the flow of natural energies around the body parts especially those parts that experience weakness. Over the time, crystal healing help restore the person's physical strength.
There are reports that people who have undergone on this holistic treatment felt strange sensations after these healing crystals were in contact with their bodies. It was as though they were suddenly aware of their pulses. But it will only be felt in area that the stone was directly placed. This is somewhat strange because most likely we are unable to feel our pulse beating itself. It means that our system is being boosted when it will directly touch by crystal.
Experts in crystal healing say that this feeling of circulation enhance and improve the body's rate that are not used to do before. It is a good sign that the person's natural vibrational energies are restored into the normal state.
Crystal healing has intense effect on the patient's mental state. Mental blockages is more difficult to diagnose that the physical ones. It is hard to detect especially when the person near to them is not sensitive to determine it.
Still, crystal healing can provide patients to come into a state of renewed mental clarity. Afterward, it is easy for them to avoid bad habits that negatively affected them in the past.
A healthier way of living is a lot easier if they have the chance to undergo on this metaphysical balance restoration.
