Nama Rupa Therapeutic Healing
Nama Rupa IS Mind and Body
It is essential healing for the mind (Nama) and body (Rupa). The more we progress into the future of this world with the speed of technology and the expectations to keep up with fast inflation and growth, there is something that has been removed from the realm of indulgence and placed in the reality of health and mind/body well being. This magic is called body work or as we all commonly know it as massage. Massage has many benefits to our musculoskeletal selves. In fact the benefits are so wide ranged that there are different levels of it’s affects.The tissue level, the organ system level and the organism level.
The Tissue Level
You cannot get a massage without increasing the circulation of the blood and lymph. The techniques and movements used in massage help promote the movement of our body fluids into this natural process. This very important process which brings oxygen and nutrients to the tissue cells and helps remove wastes and byproducts of the inflammatory process.
The Organ System Level
All of the different organ systems of the body are affected by massage. For those who are not aware, there is a great deal that goes on on our organ system level. Everything from the integumentary system, reproductive, nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular (etc.), all have specific affects from massage. Massage amplifies healing and health of organ tissues and also boosts the organ function as a whole. What’s even cooler, because our entire organ system interacts in myriad ways, any focus work on a particular system will have positive affects on others as well. This is especially obvious in our certain system pairings like our nervous/endocrine, muscular/skeletal, circulatory/lymphatic and respiratory/circulatory.
The Organism Level
This level is the whole pizza pie. Rather than affecting any one or two systems, this level includes the anatomic phenomenon of growth and physiological phenomenon of development. Loving touch is very well known to be essential for the proper growth and development in our babies. The organism level includes stress reduction, mental clarity, reduced anxiety and emotional release. So on a physical AND psychological level, why would we pass these amazing benefits by?
