Winter is on its way. Take care of your health and energy by supporting your immune system … this means taking extra special care of your self: Treating yourself to anything that makes you come alive, gives you joy, and lets you rest from the day to day grind. That might mean taking in more movies, going for more walks, drinking more water or reading a good novel. Add to that a few kahuna massages, floor treatments and energy balances to assist your body to release and balance energy, and you will be sailing through life.
Here are opportunities to SUPPORT YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM with regular balances. This will help to keep the energy systems in your body open and flowing to avoid toxins stagnating.
WHY WOULD YOU WANT A KAHUNA MASSAGE OR FLOOR TREATMENT?
Kahuna traditional massage, often called ‘Temple Style Lomi’, is a full body oil massage like no other. It is a gentle but also deep flowing form of massage that will relax, revitalize, and revive you. At its heart, Kahuna connects mind, body and spirit. These three aspects to humans are linked, and through our neglect of any or all of them in our daily life, we often disconnect them. Kahuna massage is a starting point to help reconnect and balance the three.
- Deep Relaxation – Aren’t all massages relaxing? Not in my experience, and I’m sure you’ve experienced some massages that have left you feeling less than relaxed. The long flowing strokes used in a Kahuna massage help you achieve a deeper state of relaxation sooner. One massage stroke can go from your neck to your toes and back. Why is that so relaxing? Well the tactile sensors in the brain can’t focus when you receive touch to so many parts of your body, so it literally switches off. Most people slow down or stop thinking. Many fall asleep. This is when your body melts into the table and you feel you are being transported to another world. A world where life really is blissful, tension falls off your body, your cells start to work in harmony with each other, nothing seems to matter anymore, you just go with the flow and you may even get off the table looking younger or standing taller. What would that do for your body,mind and spirit – and ultimately your immune system and health?
- Circulation – Life is about circulation and constant movement. Even when things appear to be still the molecules within the cells are constantly moving. And so it is within our bodies when we have optimum health. Things flow freely and we feel fantastic within ourselves. Our busy life, faster than necessary, food, the stress and pressure of daily life coupled with a lack of exercise often start to cause health issues that can go undetected until we fall apart. The best way to avoid this scenario is to maintain optimum circulation in our bodies. While there are many things that affect the circulation within our bodies eg. diet and exercise, having a deep relaxing massage is one of the most soothing ways to improve your circulation. Improving your circulation brings fresh blood to your cells and helps them naturally rejuvenate and repair. Using regular massage to improve your circulation can alleviate cold extremities, move waste away from muscles and internal organs, lower blood pressure and improve your overall body function. How much better than that can it get?
- Emotional Release – let go and move on. Emotions stored in the cells are also toxins to the body. Emotions are just energy in motion (e-motion) and when they remain in the body, they cause illness, depression, and constriction. Blockages form in the energy centres (or meridians, according to Chinese Medicine), and hold us back from realizing our full potential. Firm but gentle massage releases the tension held in parts of the body, and this can effect a big emotional release in the form of tears, sound, or energy releasing in the form of shakes. When a person feels ready to let go of that which is holding them back , they are ready for this type of release. Releasing stuck energy in this way, in a safely held space with a trained therapist can be extremely healing and a big relief. You do not need to know the reasons or name the emotions, or discuss the experience. The mind can be still and just allow the energy out. Then there is space to fill up with new energy and go forward with a renewed and replenished energy system and body. This release work is very powerful, and a few sessions (at least four) are recommended to support you through the transition.
Kahuna Deep Tissue Floor Treatment
This Floor Treatment gives all the benefits of the kahuna massage, but in a different way. It is done fully clothed, on the floor, to gentle music. The practitioner works the body with pressure and gentle pulling of the limbs to release stuck energy in the joints. This is a bit like assisted yoga, and gentle joint release work. A lot of these floorwork techniques also get used during a traditional full body kahuna massage, to release energy and increase flow. The floor treatment allows for more work into the pelvic and groin area where a lot of tension and energy is held. It is deeply relaxing. I have had one client say to me that she felt more emotional and tension release from this treatment, than from the kahuna massage.
Recipients may feel both relaxed and energized at the same time, as a result of kahuna massage and floorwork. But the choice is personal. While Kahuna gives you the sense of freedom and pleasure with touch directly on the skin in a flowing way, the floor treatment achieves similar results with more pressure and more movement into the muscles and joints of the body.
What people say about Kahuna bodywork:
“Thanks for an awesome massage, felt so much more relaxed afterwards….you have a special gift.”
“The kahuna massage Brenda gave me was magical, the energy of the massage is both relaxing and invigorating at the same time … as strange as that sounds.”
“Brenda is a wonderful healer. Her Kahuna massages are not only blissful for the body, but they also help me to release any emotional stress that I walk into her room with. They are like a tonic for body-mind and soul!”
“Brenda, I have been raving about you ever since I stepped out of your front door;-) .. Brenda works from a simply stunning spot – really restful and pretty! I experienced the most profound relaxation which was beautiful, but an even more profound release of old stuck energy that left me quite breathless. But after I had calmed down I felt at peace, free of pain and nicely empty. Brenda is a treat! Pay her a visit;-) “
“ Brenda your Kahuna Massage was awesome…what an experience. I will definitely book more sessions with you.
The massage is revitalising, de-stressing, awesome.”
I look forward to helping you stay healthy.
