Indian Style Head Massage is the Ayurvedic form of healing and relaxation. Ayurveda, the science of life, is probably the oldest recorded medical system in existence. Indian Style Head Massage offers the means by which the individual can begin to get in touch with the healing potential within the hitherto unexplored regions of their inner being and thus become empowered to ensure their own well-being.

Awareness of the recent trends in medicine shows that modern physicians - like the physicists before them - have begun to deal with finer and finer forms of energy both in the diagnosis and treatment of human illness. This trend can only continue. It is sure to bring with it the recognition of increasing subtle expressions of our mind, body, and spirit which will require correspondingly subtler approaches in therapy. Twenty-first century health care will be based upon the subtle energy principles and interventions involving the mind, body, and spiritual dimensions.

In this mortal aspect man is a triune being. He longs for freedom from all varieties of suffering. His needs are healing of bodily disorders; healing of mental or psychological disorders such as fear, anger, bad habits, failure consciousness, lack of initiative and confidence, and so on. Healing of spiritual disorders such as indifference, lack of purpose, contentment with the material side of existence and ignorance of the laws of life and of man's own divinity. The attention of most people is fixed solely on the cure of bodily disharmony because it is so tangible and obvious. They do not realise that their mental disturbances of worry, egotism and so on, and their spiritual blindness to the divine meaning of life, are the real causes of all human misery. When man has destroyed the mental bacterial of intolerance, rage and fear and has freed his soul from ignorance, he is unlikely to suffer from physical disease or mental lack.

In ancient times in the East, the body was thought to be "the Shrine of the Spirit" where the power of nature dwelled. In modern times, because the materialist civilisation relies on natural science, elemental reductionism has permeated all aspects of society, and the body is seen as nothing more than one element contributing to social productivity. "Rational thought" which relies on the function of the forebrain suppresses the function of the midbrain, which is responsible for emotions and instincts. When the activity of the midbrain is suppressed, it becomes difficult for people to express themselves and to experience life fully. It is essential that from now on, the true state of illness be diagnosed from the point of the view of the holistic nature of life and inter-relationship of the whole being rather than symptoms.

The therapists' "non-interrupting" attitude of mind constitutes a vital element in the art of massage. There are techniques for voluntarily withdrawing the mind from the senses and focusing inward to reveal the centre of consciousness. Such a one-pointed mind creates a dynamic will which can be used for healing. All such healing powers flow through the human being from the one source of consciousness. The moment the healer becomes conscious of his individuality, that spontaneous flow of healing power stops. Healing is a natural power in man. The healing of others is possible through that willpower which is not interrupted by the lower mind. The purpose of our life upon this earth is to develop self-consciousness which means to know and accept ourselves as spiritual beings. As this awareness increases we work towards wholeness which brings the ultimate goal, unity with the creator.

Indian Style Head Massage incorporates deep thumb and finger pressure, friction as well as soothing efficurage and laying of hands. Incorporating massage of the shoulders, neck, scalp and face the technique reduces muscular and nervous tension and improves circulation of blood and lymphatic fluid. This fully oxygenates the cells, flushing out physical and emotional toxins. It stretches and mobilises the tissues of the neck and shoulders, stimulates and improves scalp circulation which help to promote texture combined with strength and growth of hair. It relaxes the scalp and tones up subcutaneous muscles thus helping to relieve headaches, eyestrain and focus concentration. It soothes, comforts and harmonises the body's natural balance so helping to promote physical and psychological well-being. Leaving you with a feeling of peace and tranquillity. The therapist is highly sensitive and aware rather than imposing their ideas, and techniques or solutions on the body to rectify a problem or mask symptoms. The practitioner will try to awaken the native intelligence of the body; (intervening only) to re-educate when it has forgotten, to accompany it where it is frightened to go, and to be patient with it while it decides what to do.

A treatment is a unique occasion, sacred even. A time exclusively for you. A time without interruptions when you are able to relax deeply and be taken care of. A time to experience yourself differently and to create natural solutions to your difficulties, knowing you will be helped with sensitivity and understanding. Each person will have a different experience of treatment. For most it is a pleasurable one; treatment usually leaves the receiver with a feeling of calmness, clarity and well-being.
