There are many different types of Therapeutic Massage – Sports, Shiatsu, Deep Tissue, Kahuna to name a few. The majority work on simular principals of gentle expert movements applied throughout the body in sequence. Massage for healing has its origins in ancient wisdom and traditions found in most cultures.
A good Massage will benefit all areas of the recipients’ body, as well as assist with calming the mind and occasionally helping with release of emotional blocks. The list of common ailments helped by Professional Massage Therapies is very long. It includes circulation problems, edema, muscular aches, fatigue, chronic pain, fibro myalgia, muscle cramping, injury, cellulite & carpal tunnel syndrome.
In my personal clinical experience (over 20years) I have assisted clients ~
coping with stressful work conditions;
throughout pregnancy;
with various back conditions;
experiencing age-related symptoms such as arthritis;
many with chronic neck & shoulder pain;
and many others who maintain optimum health with a regular 1hour session.
During Therapeutic Massage the heartbeat is not increased, yet the movement of blood throughout the body is simular to doing physical exercise. Therefore both inner and outer health benefits can be equivalent to doing up to 3hours rigorous workout.
The ideal environment for receiving Therapeutic Massage is one away from loud noise and busy activities. The lighting would be soft, some natural airflow and the temperature will be mild, with gentle relaxing music playing in the background. And most importantly – the recipient/client feels welcome, safe, comfortable and unhurried.
Other elements to look for when searching for a good Massage Therapist include – visible Credentials or Membership to Recognised Organisation;
asks for previous & current health history;
focus throughout the massage is kept on the person receiving;
keeps distractions to absolute minimum;
maintain constant contact with body using balanced movements;
seeks feedback often to ensure comfort of recipient;
and keeps Silence as the Golden Rule unless client needs to talk.

yaninayoga recently researched the ancient practice of reading hands . . . . . This activity can be traced back to 384BC, with links to Aristotle and Greek Gods. Many of us are aware of the signifigance of hands found in rock paintings of Aboriginal Australians and other early cultures. While archaeological discoveries accross the planet have found hands made of stone, wood and ivory by ancient civilizations.
The Catholic Church was responsible for forcing the Art of Palmistry to go underground. They branded the practice as ‘linked with the devil’ and murdered anyone who was found engaged in or interested in Hand Reading.

For most of us our breathing is unconscious. We take approximately 23,000 breaths per day, yet rarely notice one of them when absorbed in the day to day dilemmas and delights; and the busy-ness of work and play. Many of us are breathing in various levels of toxins in any twenty four hour period. City living, job/work environment and habits like smoking cigarettes, cigars or various other drugs/substances (including alcohol), as well as modern food all affect our breathing.
Sit cross-legged on the floor
When we do begin to choose a deeper relationship with our breath it can feel strange at first. Almost like you’ve been ‘caught out’ doing something you shouldn’t. The reaction can be like a fight or flight response where breath becomes restricted and fear emerges. For some this ‘uncomfortable’ feeling stops them in their travels, and they figure – “That was too hard, I’ll go back to unconscious breathing thanx – I don’t need the hassle/drama!” Read the rest of this entry »
