Heavenly
Esalen Style bodywork
|
|
|
|
|

"Esalen massage is the finest form of
bodywork on the planet." |
|
|
|
|
|
Esalen massage is performed
on a heated, warm-oiled, bare
table, applying strokes simultaneously to the front and back of the body
(Nirvana Method). Also, some Swedish massage techniques a sophisticated form of healing energy work
(Quantum Touch) are incorporated in the Esalen session. At the heart of these sessions is a sense of empowering each
individual to regain a sense of harmony, rejuvenation, and balance, and to
awaken inner resources for healing. Each
session is unique, tailored by personal requests, needs, comfort level, physical
tension and release, the felt sense of intuition.

Esalen massage is a holistic practice known for
its healing and nurturing touch, combining long strokes, gentle rocking and
stretching, sculpting of deep musculature, and the precision of acupressure. The
most important aspect style wise or technique wise is not technique at all, but
the quality of the touch. This refers to the presence of the practitioner
and the ability of this person to focus on the session and to tune into the client's
body, to be sensitive, and to pick up messages. Esalen
massage is an interactive experience and a lot of it is interactive on an
energetic level.
|
|
|
|
| Another element of Esalen massage involves giving
the person a chance to pause and integrate the work. The process is a sort of
moving meditation, when the entire practitioner's body is put into the massage,
not simply the hands.
Esalen massage is set apart as a unique style
because it also reflects an attitude about touching, caring, energy awareness
and emotional, spiritual healing besides just physical manipulation. Part of the
attitude of Esalen is that touching is a basic need, as essential as air, food
or water; that caring about others is natural; that getting in touch with one's
own body leads to a more effective way of loving and relating to others, and
that healing comes from within as well as from the outside. |

Besides being therapeutic and deeply relaxing,
Esalen massage is intended to feel good; its philosophy is based on the wisdom
that feeling good is good for you in the body as well as in emotions and spirit.
Esalen massagers believe that pleasure itself is therapeutic. Esalen massage is
not sexually oriented, but it is very intimate, feels extremely sensual and
delightfully pleasurable. According to true Esalen ideals, the massage is
performed without draping, to an entirely nude body (if it's OK with the
client), with
slow, continuous, fluid-like full body strokes and deep breathing. Esalen
massage promotes sensory re-awakening. |
|
|
|
| Esalen massage itself grew from a blend of ideas
and practices: Swedish massage, martial arts, yoga, tai chi, chi gung, Western
applied kinesiology, somatic arts, body work, subtle energy theories, polarity,
cranial-sacral work, sports massage and native healing rituals. Certain
signature elements are unique to Esalen massage, such as long, lengthening
integrative strokes. Also, it's intuitive-based. Because it is an eclectic mix,
there is no singular form of Esalen massage. Every practitioner of the Esalen
massage interprets it in slightly different ways, creating his/her personal Art
form, because they intuitively sense the client's physical and non-physical
cues. |

The effects of this intentional touch, loosely
categorized as "wellness/stress management massage", range widely. For
some, it brings a renewed sense of health and vigor, others may regain a sense
of safety with regard to touch. Often old tension patterns break free and old
emotions are released. It signals a return to one's nature, a switch from
everyday consciousness into a calmer, more colorful space less inhabited by the
constraints of time and place. An out-of-ordinary reality. |
|
|
|
| Optionally, hot stones
can be used to enhance the therapeutic effect of the
treatment, increase circulation and work into deeper muscles without
using excessive force. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Esalen massage can
be integrated with sensual and healing Tantric bodywork to address stimulation
and the upward flow of overall-healing creative sexual energy of
lower chakras to aid in healing and balance of the entire energy system. |
