Japanese Hand Massage
Japanese Hand Massage involves massaging the arms and hands with soothing aromatic oils, as well as using Shiatsu points. A good hand massage will help anyone to de-stress, open energy channels and create a feeling of well-being. Shiatsu is a traditional healing art and has evolved from traditional Chinese Medicine and Anma, a Japanese form of massage.
For many different reasons Ki can stop flowing freely and this then produces a symptom. Shiatsu can be beneficial for a wide range of conditions, from specific injuries to more general symptoms of poor health. Shiatsu for the hands uses touch to affect the flow of Ki in the meridians and techniques include gentle holding and pressing with palms, thumbs and fingers on the meridians. As the quality of the Ki changes, the symptoms associated with an imbalance in the movement of Ki will gradually improve. Shiatsu is a therapy that works on the individual as a complete being - the physical body and also on an emotional and/or mental level.
This massage is especially appreciated by people who use their hands often for activities like word processing, repetitive tasks, hobbies such as knitting, playing tennis or weight lifting, or for more heavy usage such as mechanical or physical labour. Any condition that creates an energy blockage in the head, shoulders or upper spine responds very well to hand massage. Physical conditions can block emotional and spiritual growth which is where the link between the hands and the more subtle energy of the body is helpful.
