The Massage Process

Ignoring the warning signs that we have pushed ourselves too far can become a chronic habit that can lead to serious illness. Pain and other symptoms are simply part of the body’s language to signal a problem. Once you begin to recognize physical signs of emotional congestion you can learn to address the emotional issues directly and bypass the physical symptoms altogether. You will come to recognize pain as your ally instead of trying to block or eradicate it and move past it into greater self-awareness and improved health. Bodywork can play a pivotal role in reestablishing the mind-body link. It re-minds you of the physical and emotional tension that you carry unconsciously so you can choose to let it go.
If you have never had a massage, this book can give you information you need to become comfortable with the process so you can learn to listen to your body in this way.

If you have had massage before, you can use the tools in the book to deepen your massage experiences.
