Meditation and Self-Massage

Meditation in Point Pleasant and self-massage are a great combination to help you achieve the deep relaxation of your heart, mind, and body.  They are both independent of external factors and other people.  Everything is virtually in your hands.  How far and deep you want to go in your relaxation will depend on you. 

When doing both, you want to make sure that you do them in the right order.  Most will start with self-massage in Brick and then do the meditation.  When you have loosened up your body and relaxed the tease areas you can then start to transition to meditation.

The first thing you need to do is prepare for massage and meditation.  You will need a space that is conducive to self-massage and practicing meditation.  You should also wear very few clothes because you want as much skin as you can get to work with your hands.  If you have any candles, you can light one to give ambiance to the area.  To do self-massage you should use some essential oils that you like but you don’t need to.

There are many techniques to self-massage that range from light-feather like touches to deep strokes, like kneading.  When you learn the different techniques, you should use at least two of them during your self-massage in Brick.  You want to relax your body by stimulating your nerve endings so you can increase the blood flow and relieve tension spots.  You should do this for at least five minutes. 

Then you will lie down on the mat for a brief moment before you start your meditation.  There are several different techniques you can use to meditate but most prefer to sit.  You can sit on a mat, cushion, or chair.  If you are not sitting comfortably, it could be distracting and not give you the relaxation you need when you meditate.

When you sit down to do meditation in Point Pleasant, you can use either the half or full lotus position to sit.  Due to the self-massage, you should notice the bussing, vibrancy feeling of your body.  Slowly shift your attention to your breathing, inhaling, and exhaling only through your nose.  When you are able to keep your attention on your breath, you will notice how it gives you life each time you breathe.  There is no set time limit on how long you should meditate but it has been suggested you try for ten to fifteen minutes. 

You do not have to do self-massage and meditation each day, but it would help you get more out of the combination of the two if you did it every day, even for a few minutes.

Conclusion

If you find you are stressed out from work, your home life, or life in general, it will really help to find time to do self-massage and meditation.  You will find that you are more relaxed and able to handle life in general.  All you need is a quiet area, comfortable seating, and time to meditate and do self-massage.
