Massage and Meditation
- Six ways massage helps:
- 1.Relieve anxiety; If you suffer with anxiety, a study suggests that massage can actually reduce your symptoms.
2.Sleep more soundly; Have trouble sleeping or have insomnia? Massage can actually help you sleep more deeply.
3.Fight fatigue; But no matter what the cause of your fatigue, one easy solution is massage.
4.Aid certain health conditions; Your body has two different immune responses. During massage, you’re slowing down stress hormones to help maintain this balance. This can help make autoimmune conditions like asthma, type 1 diabetes, or dermititis, more manageable.
5.Boost focus; In order for you to best pay attention, your heart rate needs to be lowered. Because massage slows your nervous system, your heart rate is effectively slowed down, too, which ultimately will improve your focus.
6.Heal injuries; If you experience an injury or joint pain (especially if the problem is long-term or chronic), you’ll also have what are called soft-tissue restrictions, which cause knots or trigger points of pain. Massage gets rid of soft-tissue restrictions and increasing circulation.
