Massaging is one of the best remedies for many of
our illnesses. It is very relaxing, like sleeping
as a little baby while mommy strokes you all over
the sores of your tired body. Just the thought
that someone is there while you close your eyes
and mind and lie down eases your mind like no
other activity available on earth, except
perhaps. . . .

But what power does massage have that it provides
so much healing benefits to humans? Even animals
practice it instinctively as a means to heal
themselves, as dogs and cats apparently do. Of
course, we know that muscles need massaging in
order to remove obstacles in our veins and to
enhance blood circulation and breathing. It also
removes unwanted dry skin and toxins within our
bodies that other cleansing therapies may not
totally remove. All in all, massage offers health
benefits which are both physiological and
emotional.

The emotional side of massage therapy derives
from its social dimension as a form of therapy,
as we have mentioned. Having someone take care or
treat your body in a way that you or someone else
you know intimately cannot do for you crosses a
barrier that revolves around trust and harmony.
One cannot entrust ones body to someone who does
not have the ability or intention to provide
healing. In many cases, massage and prayer (or
meditation -- notice the spa music they use?) go
together. The event becomes essentially a social
or cultural activity which goes beyond attaining
healing to that of providing peace and harmony
among people.

Massage as a therapy then does not deal only with
healing the body but more so the mind. Spas have
provided a very valuable service to modern
society by providing a convenient escape where
tired, harried and lonely people can totally
relax and obtain body and mental rejuvenation. No
wonder that it has become such a lucrative
business for many people.   Health, obviously,
is wealth in many practical ways.   Make powerful
choices to create your maximum level of health
with my facilitation skills and the wisdom and
support of a group. Visit Jennifer Shearin Group
