Indian Head Massage
Indian Head Massage
known as "Champissage" in India is part of the ancient healing system of
Ayurveda - the science of life, which is probably the oldest recorded form of
medical treatment dating back for thousands of years. It has played a very
important role in Indian life as a principle method of relieving pain and
healing.
Champi is an
original Indian word meaning head massage. Indian Champissage includes massage
of the shoulders, upper arms, neck, scalp, face, ears and energy balancing.
Indian Head Massage can provide relief from aches and pains, stress
symptoms, insomnia, promote hair growth, soothe, comfort and rebalance your
energy flow which gives you a deep sense of peace, calm and tranquility.
A practitioner of Indian Head Massage would have been taught a
technique which withdraws their mind from their senses - only when the
practitioner is able to focus inwards can Indian Head Massage become effective
as a healing therapy. Healing is a natural power in all humans - we all have the
ability to heal.
It is only possible if we have the kind of willpower not interrupted
by our lower mind, which means a practitioner of Indian Head Massage will have
been taught an advanced form of massage for healing.
This massage incorporates deep thumb and finger pressure, friction as
well as stroking and laying of hands. It includes a massage of the shoulders,
neck, scalp and face. It reduces muscular and nervous tension and improves
circulation of blood and lymphatic fluid. This fully oxygenates the cells,
flushing out toxins. It also stretches and mobilizes the tissues of the neck and
shoulders, stimulates and improves scalp circulation and hair growth. It relaxes
the scalp and tones up muscles thus helping to relieve headaches, eyestrain and
focus concentration. Leaves you with a feeling of peace and tranquility. The
therapist is highly sensitive and aware, rather than imposing their ideas on to
you, which can often mask, but not cure your symptoms.
