MASSAGE TECHNIQUES
5-element massage
Earth - water - fire - air - ether
The 5-element massage combines mindful touch with the qualities of the five elements.
Each element has its own language:
Earth - support, depth, calm
Water - flow, softness, devotion
Fire - warmth, vitality, energy
Air - lightness, expansiveness, freedom
Ether - connectedness, presence, stillness
This massage brings the body back into its natural order. It calms the nervous system, opens the senses and is gentle and deeply relaxing. It is accessible to everyone, even without previous experience, and is therefore the perfect introduction to massages that unite heart, body and soul.
Intuitive healing massage
Intuitive healing massage is an invitation to get in touch on a deeper level - with yourself, with the moment and with the person being touched. In contrast to fixed techniques, the focus here is on intuition.
In this massage, you learn to sharpen your own senses, perceive subtle impulses and allow the touch to become an expression of inner stillness. You connect with the person being massaged on a deeper level, and love is allowed to flow freely in this mindful presence. Here you intuitively recognize the essence, and deep healing can take place in this touch. The intuitive healing massage releases tension and shame, opens up emotional spaces and provides security and trust. It gets the life energy flowing and is deeply nourishing.
