Your state of
mind is of prime consideration while you are giving massage to someone with the
objective of relieving the receiver’s body from pain and tension. This is
because until and unless your mind and feelings are not pure in nature you will
transmit your tension to receiver’s body. Before giving a massage you should
first of all watch your vibrations. If vibrations in your hand and other parts
of body are rapid because of emotional upsets you should not give massage and should postpone the schedule to some other day. Example: You should not give massage while you are yourself affected from cold or flu because you may infect the receiver body. The objective is before giving a massage to someone else’s body you should be first calm yourself. When you will have peace in your mind then you will be able to give relief through massage to other person.
The most basic
rule to give massage is let your instincts be your guide. While giving massage
if you suddenly feel that you should touch a particular receiver’s body in a
particular way then you should not hesitate in doing that. Give a touch to that
particular part of receiver’s body with proper stroke and pressure as soon as
it is calling you with the aim of relieving it. You should be pure in heart and
should have peace of mind while giving massage this means that do not let your
ego penetrate between you and your receiver. While giving a massage someone
first locate problem area and then try to give relief by giving proper required
stroke or application of pressure but if receiver is not relieved from pain after
reasonable amount of time then abandon your efforts for a while and return to
that area after sometime and then again put your efforts in achieving your aim
this can be done several times in one massage if receiver’s body requires it.
Many people try
to engrave their fears and tensions within themselves with the hope that these
fears and tensions may remain hidden from the entire world and from themselves
also but this is not the fact. Though these fears and tensions may remain hidden
for a while but will surely return in more dangerous manner in form of pains or
body aches and the sufferer will not be able to predict the real problem this
time. An intelligent massage therapist can communicate with tensions and can
end these tensions by their magical massage.
