Types of massage
Massage is an instinctive gesture. On an aching part, after a grimace with the face, we always place one hand and sketch a grip, a contact, a rubbing ... In reality, this is the massage, with the exception that by now there is a set of techniques and holistic approaches, originating from different cultures and countries, with which to be 'in contact'.
So many types of massage. What do they have in common? Contact quality, energy exchange, power of communication: all these factors are combined in the massage. In addition to hands, various substances and tools can be used, such as essential oils, herbal preparations and mixtures, lava stones, moxa cylinders and so on. At each session, the correspondence between the epidermis and the nervous system is made sacred and honored: touching a person it is possible to establish contact with his mind and to communicate entirely with the body.
