How Can A Mindful Massage Change Your Life

By Harold Cook


Our lives a busier today than they have ever been in the past. We are inundated with technology, demanding jobs, family obligations and the like. Is it any wonder that our minds are busy as well. It can be hard to stay in the present moment with so much worry and anxiety on our minds. This is how a mindful massage can help you to relax and bring you back to the present moment and declutter your mind.

Mindfulness is taking root in our society amid all the chaos and disruptions that we may go through. Mindfulness is based on a type of meditation that causes one to become aware of their mind/body connection and to be aware of the present moment they are in instead of living in their heads in the past or in the future. To bring the mind to the present moment and enjoy this experience fully.

The mind/body connection is important because you only have the present moment in which to live, but the mind travels to many different time periods all within a days time. This can create stress and anxiety in one's life and cause them to miss out on enjoying the life they have right now. A mindfulness massage can put you back in touch with the reality around you.

The massage therapist also lives in the moment with you and is practicing mindfulness while they are in session with you. It is something of the old saying practice what you preach and they do practice what they believe in. Their job is to keep you in the present moment too while they give you the massage by incorporating body scans and deep breathing and imagery to guide you through a mindfulness meditation.

This type of massage is gaining in popularity in many spas around the country. The practice of mindfulness is not only limited to the spa treatment but in other areas of life as well such as in the psychological field and other medical practices. It is popular because it tends to reduce stress and anxiety and can make changes to one's brain given time and improve their overall health and well-being.

Mindfulness can reduce stress and tension in the body and you will feel calmer and in more control of your thoughts. This, in turn, helps with focus and concentration as well as memory. It is not very easy to do but with practice, one can get better at remaining in the present moment and not allowing the mind to wander so much.

It is good to combine mindfulness with massage and have someone who can guide you on this journey. It helps you to keep your focus on the present moment so that you can enjoy your massage and leave the spa or session feeling relaxed and refreshed and ready to take on life's many challenges.

If you find that you are having a hard time staying on task or focusing your attention on the present moment you are in, you should consider the practice of mindfulness as this can make all the difference in how you approach life and the challenges that you face on a daily basis. With practice, mindfulness can improve your life in so many areas and help you to live the best life possible in the present moment that you are in.
