The mind wants to be free
The blood and oxygen in the body want to flow.
Zen Tissue Therapy is a massage technique that promotes whole body healing and wellness. This deep pressure therapy releases blockages that hinder the blood and oxygen circulation in the body. The principle of the technique is based on the free spirit of Zen, which manifests in both the mind and the body. A Zen mind is free of all egocentric preconceptions and delusions. A Zen body is free of all blockages and stagnation, allowing the bodily functions and fluids to circulate freely. Blockages and stagnation of any kind eventually contribute to aches, pains and disease.
Lack of circulating blood and oxygen is the most predominant and the most detrimental form of stagnation. This is caused by muscular tissue calcification which, over time, creates layers of calcified deposits around the bone surface. Repetitive motion is the most predominant cause of calcification. When a critical mass of these deposits is reached, they block the circulation to the joints and limbs which could result in:
• Muscle and joint pain
• Pulled or torn muscles
• Limited flexibility
• Nerve compression or entrapment
Zen Tissue Therapy releases the calcified build up in order to restore unobstructed circulation which is vital to good health. By breaking up the blockages, it effectively relieves aches and pains, helps to heal muscle tears and opens up restrictive range of motion, resulting in greater flexibility. It also energizes the body. Also, with the calcification removed, the process of stretching muscles -- especially the hamstrings and the lower back --becomes significantly easier. An additional benefit is increased energy and a lightness of being.
This unique technique uses deep pressure combined with movement which actively engages the muscle in reducing and eventually eliminating the muscle calcification, providing a noticeable release and greater mobility in the joint and/or limb. Zen Tissue Therapy is much more effective than the standard massage technique which relies on slowly gliding over the skin with static pressure. As a result of the Zen Tissue Therapy, many internal channels including blood vessels, oxygen flow, lymph nodes, nerves, and meridian lines, with their many acupressure points and Chi channels, are opened leading to better overall health.
Zen Tissue Therapy also incorporates the principles of Reflexology. Using Zen Tissue Therapy in combination with Reflexology, eliminates the calcification at certain reflex points in the feet, which alleviates symptoms in corresponding organs -- an added benefit. Although Reflexology is incorporated into this therapy, Zen Tissue Therapy stands alone as a therapy and differs greatly from various Reflexology techniques as commonly practiced today.
In addition to relieving symptoms, Zen Tissue Therapy is an excellent preventative measure. It prepares the body to absorb sudden external impacts without being seriously injured because the muscles are more relaxed and flexible. In addition, Zen Tissue Therapy also strengthens the immune system, by opening up blocked lymph nodes to help prevent the onset of serious diseases such as cancer. It also helps drain away toxins and excess fluids by maintaining a constant blood flow.
Another example of Zen Tissue Therapy’s effectiveness is the success of removing corns, calluses, and bunions. They will disappear for good in a short amount of time after having consistent Zen Tissue Therapy sessions, due to the restoration of blood flow to the affected areas. This illustrates that natural healing occurs by increasing the blood flow in the body which also has an effect on long-term chronic aches and pains, joint problems and poor circulation. In many cases patients have found relief from Zen Tissue Therapy after years of conventional treatment, which did not remove the ailment.
In conclusion, calcification of the joints and muscles is the root of many health problems. It blocks up internal flows, causes aches and pains, causes fluid retention, makes one feel tired and heavy and generally upsets the whole internal balance. If you have ever wondered how to correct all these aliments, wonder no more. Zen Tissue Therapy is the answer.
