Learn how European Lymph Drainage can help the body detoxify as well as look and feel younger and healthier.

Our bodies have a cellular garbage disposal system; this system for carrying cellular debris and toxins away from our cells is known as the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is a one way system, always transporting toxins away from our cells. European lymph drainage techniques hugely increase the volume of lymph through our bodies; the lymph transports all our toxic junk, the lymph carries this toxic waste through lymph nodes where the waste is treated by part of our bodies’ defense mechanisms. If our bodies are dealing with particularly toxic waste our lymph nodes swell, this is what the doctors are checking for during examinations, swollen lymph nodes. The more flow we can induce in our lymph system the purer our bodies become. European lymph drainage techniques are very easy to learn, we can treat ourselves by increasing our lymph flow or we can increase lymph flow for others i.e. children, partners friends etc.

Learning any technique to increase lymph flow is a fabulous compliment to any detox program.  The purifying affects of European lymph drainage and the ever so gentle strokes and sweeps are a marvelous treatment for anyone suffering from fibromyalgia. The relaxing flowing and rhythmical techniques of European lymph drainage have tremendous affects on depression and anxiety.

The affects of toxic build up in our cells is directly attributed to the aging process, our cells make carbon copies of themselves, and toxic damaged cells make more impaired cells, European lymph techniques keep you looking and feeling younger and really is the best medicine for mental detox.

The most toxic energy we can put through our minds or bodies is the attitude of I’m not good enough. Saying yes to yourself and taking care of yourself sends a wonderful cleansing, rejuvenating energy through our whole system, couple this with the intentional caring energy of a trained professional massage therapist and you have the energetic environment to thrive.

Most people today are in survival mode, they don’t realize how easy it is to tip the scales in there favor. The energy we radiate when we take care of ourselves is the energy we manifest with, the energy we radiate when we deny ourselves manifests a life of just scraping by. When we take proper care of ourselves we demonstrate self respect and others will naturally respect us, when we put ourselves last on our list others will put us last also.

Massage means you get to feel great, confident and physically energized. This new found energy and confidence flows into every aspect of our lives, saying yes to massage saves you money, the higher quality of health and attitude will energetically manifest a higher quality of life, it’s a universal law.

The side affects of massage are physically feeling good, mentally feeling calm and confident, detoxing the body can even reverse the symptoms the toxicity caused in the first place; in short you begin to like yourself again. When you like yourself you enjoy company and life becomes magical again.

I genuinely believe that we are designed to keep each other in optimal physical mental and emotional health through massage and I believe this can start in infancy and continue all through childhood adolescence and adulthood, a continuous circle of love acceptance and encouragement all conveyed through touch, I think everyone would benefit incredibly from a massage lifestyle, a massage lifestyle radiates the energetic vibration of “I want to thrive”

At the Balance, Clinical & Holistic Massage we teach a full range of classes designed for self and partner care, ideal for parents with or without children, partners, couples, friends and massage enthusiasts alike. We want to educate and promote how massage lifestyles generate the energy to thrive and enjoy life, it’s a very nice feeling loving yourself and once you become accustomed to it you will realize that an attitude of self love is necessary to reach any authentic goal, dream or desires you will set in your life.

Massage fosters homeostasis or balance between all the physical systems of the body and bolsters the emotional and mental energies of our bodies, and if our bodies are our temples then I dare say that massage is as much a spiritual experience as it is a physical, emotional or mental experience.
