What Is A Mindful Massage And How Does It Help

By Harold Cook


Our lives a busier today than they have ever been in the past. We are inundated with technology, demanding jobs, family obligations and the like. Is it any wonder that our minds are busy as well. It can be hard to stay in the present moment with so much worry and anxiety on our minds. This is how a mindful massage can help you to relax and bring you back to the present moment and declutter your mind.

The mindfulness movement is taking shape in our world as an answer to our busy and hectic lives. We live at such a fast pace that it is hard to slow down and notice what is right in front of us. This is where this type of meditation causes you to be aware of the mind/body connection and how to stay in the present moment so that you can enjoy the life that you have right now.

Mindfulness massage is gaining in popularity as well and giving us back the mind/body connection that we need. We have become so disconnected that is it any wonder this movement is gaining ground in our lives. This type of meditation is used by massage therapists who guide you through the massage using imagery and talk to keep your mind focused on the entire experience.

The therapist themselves also live in the moment with you as they become mindful as well, sort of like practicing what they preach. They guide you during the entire massage to stay focused on the present moment so that the massage is fully enjoyed and your mind is not racing elsewhere with your thoughts.

Mindfulness is gaining momentum in the spa world and many are incorporating this technique into the services that they offer. This technique is also practiced in modern psychology and in certain medical fields as well. It is a very useful technique for reducing stress and anxiety and bringing you back to reality around you so you can fully enjoy the life that you live.

It is known to reduce stress and tension in the body and to cause the mind to become calmer and so one can focus and concentrate better. It is also said to improve memory and other brain functions as well. While mindfulness seems to be an easy practice it is rather difficult to do and the mind will wander but you simply and gently bring it back to the present moment without any judgment or particular feelings about it.

It is good to combine mindfulness with massage and have someone who can guide you on this journey. It helps you to keep your focus on the present moment so that you can enjoy your massage and leave the spa or session feeling relaxed and refreshed and ready to take on life's many challenges.

Perhaps you find it difficult to remain in the present and to focus on just the moment you are in. Mindfulness meditation will change your outlook on life and you will wonder why you never thought of it before or practiced it. It is truly a life changing technique that is long overdue in our modern world. It is improving lives every single day and giving people back something they thought was lost to them forever.
