Becoming enlightened is just the beginning. There are many different kinds of bodywork to choose from and only a few of them will be touched upon here. This is probably the most familiar form of bodywork. It is often called Swedish massage. Massage is a system of techniques designed to relax muscles by applying repetitive stroking and pressure.
Massage can stimulate and relax the body and the mind.
The skin, blood, lymphatic systems are stimulated, which boosts circulation, aids cellar renewal and removes toxic waste. As tense muscles relax, stiff joints loosen and nerves are soothed. A typical session requires the client to lie nude with a covering sheet on a table. Alternate firm and gentle flowing strokes are used to create a combination that will alleviate tension and muscular aches and pains whilst energizing and invigorating the body. A complete body massage generally lasts about 1 hour.
