Best Massage For Stress Reduction
Looking in Mesa for an effective massage to reduce and manage your stress quickly and effortlessly? Combining massage and meditation with a modality called The Associated Response Technique™ (ART™) is a powerful tool for stress reduction- to cleanse, to repair, and to rejuvenate the entire mind-body system.
How does it work?
When an ART™ practitioner performs a precise routine of physical pressure and/or manipulation of muscles, joints and energy centers, it brings a very enjoyable deep relaxation response which engages the Parasympathetic Nervous System. When we combine that with an easy monosyllable exercise or “mantra”, the patient makes an unconscious association to the the relaxation response of the physical treatment.
The result is attaining the ability to quickly move into a deep meditative state almost instantly, and when practiced daily, experiencing profound results. Treatments are administered fully clothed and sessions last approximately 25 minutes.
Acupressure massage is a proven and effective treatment for reducing stress and anxiety, increasing blood, nutrients and energy throughout the body, and improving health.
Mantra meditation is the basis for one of the most effective, and most studied meditation practices that you may have heard of called Transcendental Mediation (or “TM” for short). It has been said that TM is one of the most effective health enhancing exercises you can practice.
Research has shown that the state of rest achieved while meditating can be twice the level of deepest sleep while complete mental awareness is maintained during the entire process. From the perspective of rest we can see that meditation provides a profound level of rest which gives an opportunity to cleanse, to repair, and to rejuvenate the entire mind-body system.
However, if you were to go to a traditional TM center to learn, it would cost you about $2500… And while learning TM includes some rituals that are more spiritual in nature, and include having your mantra specially chosen for you, the basic practice boils down to a daily mantra meditation.
So what’s the secret? What what makes mantra meditation so effective?
It’s not a secret at all. It’s a simple exercise. Basically, you repeat a monosyllable word that you have not yet associated with anything else. You do this practice daily and you begin to form an association with your word and peace and relaxation. With consistent practice you find this peaceful state faster and faster…and then the simple act of repeating this mantra helps you to focus inward and immediately become peaceful.
The ART™ technique is the fast way to make the association from your mantra to this peaceful state. Your meditation practice will be highly effective within just a few treatments.
We all want to be in a calm state of awareness where you find answers and clarity, you feel connected and whole, your intuition is fully engaged and aware and you have your “ah ha!” moments…. It is a wonderful realization to learn that in slowing down and becoming more mindful, you actually become more focused and effective.
Most practitioners in Mesa charge between $40 and $50 per session and many offer discounted packages, especially for the initial 3 sessions.
It is recommended that the first 3 sessions be made on consecutive days, not more than 2 days apart for optimal results. Allowing one hour for the first session (it will last about 50 minutes) and 30 minutes for the following sessions or subsequent “tune-up” sessions (lasting approximately 25 minutes).
Weekly to monthly tune-up sessions are recommended and can greatly enhance your practice, but are not necessary if you stay consistent with your daily meditation practice. It is recommended you practice once to twice a day for 10 to 20 minutes each.
Reducing and managing your stress in Mesa has never been more enjoyable or more effective.
The profound benefits of meditation are well documented.
