How Massage Alleviates Harmful Affects of Stress
Nurturing and Caring for One's Self is a Major component is helping us to manage stress in ways that are constructive and supportive of our health and well being.
Stress as I regularly mention in my articles and blogs is something that we cannot and are not able to totally avoid.
Stress is something that needs to be recognized, also the triggers and how we can learn to identify these triggers.
Your body is hard-wired to react to stress in ways meant to protect you against threats from predators and other aggressors, so as to act in a fight or flight manner.
Threats from outside predators and aggressors are rare today, but that doesn't mean that life is free of stress. On the contrary, the common elements of stress are obvious such as the death of a loved one, moving of a house, injury, work issues, finances, how people speak and treat us: personal fears and obstacles.
Your body does not recognize the difference between so-called minor stresses to major ones, so as a result you may well that you are feeling under pressure constantly even when you are not.
To help to minimize the harmful effects of stress on our body it is vital that we don't allow stress to control our life, but that we take control..
Taking control of the stress, therefore eliminating the harmful effects it has within our bodies.
When we learn begin to put things into place to help us to cope and manage these stresses this helps us not only to handle the stresses more effectively.
It also sends messages of comfort, confidence, love and self healing within our bodies. Therefore not having a significant positive effect on our health.
A very positive and nurturing process we can put into place is by having regular massage treatments.
How Massage Supports the Harmful Effects of Stress:
#It relaxes and reconnects the body and mind by increasing of endorphins your feel good hormones.
#When having a soothing and balancing massage it will help to regulate messages from your brain through to your nervous system.
#By soothing these nerve impulses and brain activity it will help to improve & restore many bodily functions that are affected by stress.
#The power of human touch is powerful and a highly sensitive form of communication, therefore massage is communicating to your body a sense of caring and love.
#By giving your body that sensitive form of communication it's healing ability is activated allowing you to feel better not only about yourself, but also about life.
#Pressure points, trigger points also known as chakra or energy points these become blocked by stress.
#When massaged there is a clearing of these energy centres therefore allowing improved energy and vitality that becomes depleted with ongoing stress.
#When allowing yourself to become totally relaxed in a massage you will be more likely to talk about the things that are worrying you.
#Just having someone to listen and support you who is not emotionally involved is very balancing and healing.
