Tibetan acupressure head massage with Reiki Master & Holistic Therapist in Barnsley, South Yorkshire

TIBETAN ACUPRESSURE HEAD & FACE MASSAGE 

Tibetan Acupressure Head Massage is based on Tibetan Ayurvedic principles and dates back over 5,000 years to the ancient Bon religion which pre-dates Buddhism.  It is similar to Indian Ayurveda and  Tibetans believe that individuals are composed  of five elements - earth, wind, fire, ether and air and three humors (similar to the Indian doshas - vata, pitta and kapha) which are  wind, bile and phlegm respectively or rlung, mkrispa and baddkan.Tibetans also believe the body is composed of  five winds which are linked to five chakras.  They claim wind is life sustaining and when the crown chakra is out of balance it has a knock-on effect on the other four causing imbalance in the body.  Therefore the aim is to restore equilibrium and prevent ill health by slowing down the flow of wind. 

Tibetans claim that invoking the Medicine Buddha during treatment promotes healing transformation.

TIBETAN ACCUPRESSURE HEAD MASSAGE WITH REIKI

The treatment differs somewhat from Indian head massage and rather than sitting upright takes place whilst reclining in a chair or lying on a massage couch.   It is a very gentle and meditative treatment and using a combination of circling, kneading and acupressure alongside Reiki healing will restore balance to the chakras. 

There are five stages to the treatment which includes working over your head, face, neck and shoulders and involves anointing your head with warm oil, although this is subject to personal preference.  It concludes with a soothing head massage as the practitioner silently chants the mantra to invoke the Tibetan Medicine Buddha to encourage healing on all levels.

THE BENEFITS OF TAHM

As mentioned above, Tibetans apply warm oil to the scalp but this is entirely up to you, the individual.  The massage alone will have a beneficial effect on your hair and scalp condition and in addition, the increased blood and lymph flow will speed up the elimination of toxins adding radiance to your skin.

Although TAHM with Reiki is not a substitute for conventional medicine regular treatment will boost your immune system and promote deep relaxation.  It can also help with a wide range of health conditions including the following:

• headaches
• allergies and hayfever
• eyestrain
• fatigue
• aching neck and shoulders
• sinusitis
• poor concentration
• fatigue

HEALTH AND LIFESTYLE CONSULTATION

Each treatment is preceded by a full health and lifestyle consultation which can be booked free of charge. However, due to the gentle nature of TAHM there are very few contraindications to treatment making it suitable for almost everyone.

DURATION OF TREATMENT

A TAHM with Reiki healing will last around an hour but there are no time constraints with healing and it may take longer.  Therefore you are advised to allow up to two hours, including consultation  for maximum benefit.

AFTERCARE ADVICE

You will receive aftercare advice to ensure you get the best from your treatment and this might include breathing exercises, visualisations, working with colour etc and as a nutritionist I am able to support your healing with advice on healthy eating.

APPOINTMENT TIMES

Daytime and evening appointments Monday to Friday and there is a 24 hour notice of cancellation policy.

TREATMENTS REQUIRED

The number of sessions required will be discussed during the health and lifestyle consultation and really depends on why you are seeking treatment.  I usually recommend a course of three treatments although most  stress related complaints respond positively and you might find a single treatment is all that necessary to set you on your healing journey.
