Massage Therapy


This therapy includes the use of herbal oil and lotions to stimulate pressure points. Ayurvedic preparations, yoga and meditation are also included in Indian Massages. The philosophy in this form of therapy is a ‘sound mind in a sound body’. If the body feels good, then the mind automatically relaxes. This therapy, like Reiki, believes in the Self Healing nature of a body.

While applying pressure during a massage, pain or discomfort manifests on the problem area. This pain continues to decrease with time. During a massage, a person is asked to close the eyes and feel the tension release. Massage therapy tunes-up the body muscles and in turn the mind.
