I started practicing self massage after my *ayurvedic* consultation in Bethesda, MD's tranquil space last year. It's great in b/w professional massages and also saves alot of time and money. Every morning I start my day off with an invigorating self rub with coconut oil. You can use herbal oils or ayurvedic specific ones but I personally am loving the organic fiji's pure coconut oil.
Try adding a quick 2-5 min self massage ritual to your morning routine. It IS worth that little extra time. The full body massage will recharge and rejuvenate your body AND mind. Here's what you do: Focus on a body part (ie thigh, forearm) for maybe 30 sec and rub the (warm) oil in circular motion. Feel how your body is reacting to the rub. It is such a luxurious feeling that lifts you in the am.
Benefits to regular self massage:
* Increased circulation
* Toning of the muscles and the whole physiology
* Calming for the nerves
* Lubrication of the joints
* Increased mental alertness
* Improved elimination of impurities from the body
* Softer, smoother skin
* Increased levels of stamina through the day
* Better, deeper sleep at night
Enjoy and start feeling the benefts right away.
* ayurveda- the oldest recorded form of holistic healing which you'll be hearing alot more of in the areas of wellness and even bodycare.
