The philosophical aspects of Altai Massage™ are diverse yet penetrating in their scope. Reflecting the shamanic wisdom that comes with the study of the natural world, the profound sense of unity within all elements that make up the practice. Altai Massage™ affords not only physical well being but also, through its integration of mind-body balancing, the potential for releasing patterning and blocks that have previously hindered spiritual and psychological growth.
How many of us are truly aware of the things our bodies are trying to tell us? Do we always notice the signs of excessive fatigue, irritability, mild depression, little aches and pains, increased tension, or lowered levels of physical, psychological and psychic energy? Any change in our physical or emotional health always leaves such signals. These may be warnings that precede a malfunction or breakdown of a physical or mental process, but often we are too distracted or unaware to notice them.
We usually travel through life so dazzled by the outer world that we are only aware of the inner when it goes seriously wrong. Receiving massage, or any kind of bodywork, will help us become more aware of these signals. It gives us possibility in monitoring the changes that take place within ourselves, not only physically, but also mentally, emotionally and energetically.
As we become more aware of ourselves, we learn to correlate various physical and emotional states and recognise more clearly the feelings that affect our physical and mental states. Too many people, when asked how they feel, say what they are thinking and cannot give a clear answer about their actual feelings.
