Massage
Massage is one of several modalities used in BodyMind Balance to provide your nervous system an opportunity to rest and replenish ie ‘top up your tank’! It is a healing art that provides physical benefits such as:

reducing stress

relieving aches and pains

increasing body awareness

re-establishing normal functioning of nervous system and energetic
  pathways

BodyMind Balance Massage uses primarily Swedish Massage techniques  with acu-pressure and touch for health techniques as well.  Oil scented with intuitively selected essential oils specifically for the individual is used. 

Massage also provides an opportunity of touch that is non-threatening and non-sexual which I believe is especially important in today’s society where although our communities are larger, we can often feel very isolated and our busy lives can be devoid of the healing power of touch. 

I am sure you have heard of the results of babies not being touched – they simply do not thrive. As adults we are no different, we have the same need for physical touch that supports and comforts us and asks no demands of us. 

Candace Pert in Molecules of Emotion says “The power of touch stimulates and regulates our natural chemicals, the ones that are tailored to act at precisely the right times in exactly the appropriate dosages to maximize our feelings of health and wellbeing”

What better reason do we need for a massage?

HEALING
Healing is best summed up by Deborah Cowans in her book – A Gift for Healing.  The healer doesn’t heal, he or she facilitates a process that is active and implicit in all of us.  The seeds of healing exist in the person in search of help. 

In BodyMind Balance we do not claim to cure anything, the process is one of connecting with the underlying intelligence of creation and providing a platform for the client to undertake their own healing and restoration of balance.

MUSCLE TESTING
The intricate activities of our physical body – its growth, repair and regeneration of cells and tissues, movement, digestion, rest etc are all governed by electromagnetic energy.  In our body, there are channels through which this energy flows.  This bio-energy provides information to all the organs, muscles, glands, endocrine system and tissues in our body.  Under pressure or stress, (which can be emotional, physical or mental) these circuits can ‘blow a fuse’ and the energy flow is inhibited which can result in reduced ability to respond eg weakened tight or sore muscles, emotional discomfort, non-supportive patterns of behavoiur.  Muscle testing provides a method of connecting with the body’s innate wisdom identifying where the circuits are impeded, (which ‘fuse’ is blown) so reestablishment of the energy flow can occur. 

To test a muscle, an arm or leg is put into a specific position that places the muscles concerned in a passive or at rest state.  Then we put pressure on the limb at a specific angle so the muscle has to work to maintain its position.  The strength or weakness of the muscle indicates whether there is a blockage or imbalance in the energy flow.  BodyMind Balance Healing consultations use this body’s wisdom to identify what is needed to re-establish balance and remove energy blocks.

The advantage of muscle testing is that it enables information to be forthcoming without our intellectual filters in action and it also ensures that the practitioners influence is minimized.  Muscle testing is a well respected method of energy analysis which is used extensively in Applied Kinesiology, Neurolink, Aquarian Healing and Touch for Health.
