Reiki, Massage and Tarot
REIKI, MASSAGE AND TAROT
Na-Dodoa Ankrah is a dear friend, a registered #Thai #Yoga #Therapist and a certified #Reiki #Master. I was so delighted that she was ready to return to offering her healing spirit and talents again.
She gave me a beautiful Reiki and Thai massage session today with #frankincense oils, more tools in the toolbox for my #hysterectomyrecovery
Reiki is a #complementary #healing #energy therapy that is applied through noninvasive, non-manipulative gentle touch. Reiki involves lightly laying of hands just above or on the clothed body, working over the front and back in a slow progression of hand positions. Reiki has no religious doctrine and is accepted by people from all backgrounds and belief systems.
The profound #relaxation produced by Reiki has been reported to alleviate #anxiety and #stress, the perception of #pain, and to promote a feeling of psychospiritual well-being. Viewed collectively, these studies provide reasonably strong support for Reiki being more effective than placebo.
Thai massage uses gentle pressure and stretching techniques to relax the body, remove energy #blocks, lower stress, boost energy and #lymphatic#circulation.
A 2015 study found that Thai massage significantly reduces levels of a stress marker in the saliva. The Thai Massage Research Archives has a wealth of clinical studies supporting its benefits.
At the end, she picked a card for me, The Fool, the meaning of which includes starting a brand #new #cycle, #trust, #innocence and care of the #inner #child. How perfect.
The choice of tarot card is exactly what your inner self already knows, a #sacred #mirror.
