Is the icy weather giving you aches and pains and is the winter bringing you down?

The benefits of getting a massage in wintertime are numerous.
- It can offer relief to pain resulting from inflammation, repetitive strain, injury, arthritis, rheumatism and other conditions that flare up during the cold season.
- It boosts the immune system, increasing lymphatic flow which helps to fight off infections, preventing colds and flu's.
- It increases circulation to muscles, joints and organs, helping to warm the body.
- It rehydrates dry skin with the use of natural oils and lotions, while increased circulation helps the body to absorb these oils into the skin.
- It helps fight winter blues through boosting serotonin and endorphins, helping to increase overall wellbeing, and it just makes you feel good!
- It helps to relieve emotional and physical tension caused by everyday stress and anxiety.

Gut health is soo important, lack of healthy gut bacteria can cause neurological disorders such as Multiple Sclerosis, Altzheimers, as well as inflammation, which has been linked to joint disorders, but also mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder. Pesticide on your vegetables, GMO foods and also the use of antibiotics impedes on the health of gut bacteria. Eating fermented foods and organic foods enhance the growth of healthy gut bacteria.

Beneficial bacteria act to prevent leaky gut, which can manifest as some other form of autoimmune disorder, from leading to neurological diseases.

The conditioning to pull away from pain is part of our survival equipment. When we have experienced deep emotional wounding or physical or emotional trauma, dissociation from raw sensations and acute fear is a powerful self-protective reflex. Yet until the trauma is felt and processed, these painful energies continue to be held in our tissue and nervous system. Because they express themselves as recurrent physical or emotional pain, we develop ongoing strategies to avoid what we're feeling - tensing or numbing the body, generating distracting thoughts, engaging in addictive behaviours, acting aggressively. Focusing attention on the body can begin to undo these protective strategies...

Massage and healing, supportive, loving touch can help :)
So can counselling, mindfulness and meditation. Using these tools we can slowly start the process of releasing these physical and emotional burdens and negative patterns of behaviour.

Some of my healing tools :) My lovely singing bowl from Boudha stupa in Kathmandu Nepal, made and blessed by monks under a full moon and my triple terminated quartz crystal which works like a healing laser :)
