The concept of stagnant energy is believed to disrupt the body's physical & emotional balance, and result in negative physical or emotional health issues.
Stagnant energy refers to a concept found in various traditional healing systems, including Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It is the idea that the flow of vital energy or life force within the body becomes blocked or stagnant, leading to imbalances and potential health issues.
Stagnant energy may arise from various factors such as emotional stress, poor diet, lack of exercise, external pathogens, or physical injury.
Such stagnation of energy can lead to a range of symptoms, including pain, discomfort, emotional imbalances, and organ dysfunction.
Some common indicators that your energy may be stagnant include:
Physical symptoms
+Pain or discomfort, headaches, muscle tension or cramps.
+ Digestive issues - bloating, constipation, indigestion.
+ Fatigue - Sluggish energy, chronic fatigue or lack of vitality
+ Coldness - particularly in the extremities
Emotional and Mental symptoms
+Irritability and mood swings
+Frustration or impatience
+Feelings of emotional suppression or unable to express
Physical manifestations
+Tension or tightness
+ Swelling or fluid retention
+Poor circulation
Regular Massage Therapy is extremely beneficial in preventing and addressing stagnant energy....
Massage promotes energetic, cellular and blood circulation by applying specific massage techniques, such as kneading, tapping, and rubbing. This stimulation enhances flow of Qi and blood in the body, hence increasing circulation & relieving blockages to dissipate stagnant energy.
Massage therapy further provides the experience of enhancing body awareness. It allows individuals to become more attuned to their bodies and become aware of areas of tension or discomfort... which can then be more easily noticed by the individual & hence more readily addressed + treated.
