Russian massage

QU’EST-CE QUE  ?

À l’intérieur de nous, des barrages internes prennent forme, se manifestant par des tensions physiques. Imaginez des zones de notre corps se rigidifiant, telles des portes se verrouillant dans un château assiégé. Ces zones entravent la libre circulation et se déconnectent de notre respiration. Nos réseaux corporels deviennent obstrués, perturbant ainsi les interactions entre nos organes. Cela conduit à une détérioration de notre équilibre interne, où l’énergie ne circule plus librement mais se trouve bloquée ou stagnante.

Habituellement, nous opérons de cette manière, en compartimentant involontairement et en ne prenant conscience que des symptômes superficiels. Chacun d’entre nous vit avec certaines limitations, influencées par nos vulnérabilités individuelles : douleurs abdominales, ulcères, sinusites, calvitie, myopie, restrictions de mobilité, maux de dos, pour n’en nommer que quelques-unes.

In Russian massage, pain is our ally. Without it, how would we know where the tensions in our body are concentrated? By gradually compressing the areas of muscular tension and remaining there, the masseur reveals them, bringing them to the consciousness of the person being massaged. Thus the tensions come to light and are identified; they can therefore begin to dissipate.

However, the first reaction of the massed is resistance. As incredible as it may seem, we cling to our tensions, because we live with them, they are familiar to us, they are well known to us. Thus, initially, the body stiffens, as if threatened.

Then the body discovers that this pain can only be tolerated by relaxing, releasing those areas of stress and letting it go. As in the half-light of a virgin forest, the massaged person finds his way which leads him to cross the intensity of the pain and to dissipate it. And this, thanks to a “magical” tool: breathing. The more you breathe, the more the tension will be released. The less the body protects itself, the more the mind relaxes.
