I was lucky enough to have another Chinese massage today and for those who read about the first one a few weeks ago in my blog, I am thrilled to announce that it was not nearly as agonising this time. This indicates an improvement in the parts of the body pinpointed by the most painful areas pummelled and massaged by strong hands. As before, thyroid, right kidney and stomach were identified, and these are the ailments currently benefiting from my restricted eating regimen.
Most people consider massage and particularly Chinese methods of healthcare to be a self-indulgent luxury, and yet it is the way to prevent disease, rather than trying to cure them once they have become established. Too many people rely on pills to ease the symptoms, but that old adage, prevention is better than cure, was never more true than in today's world, where everything we eat is contaminated in some way and stresses placed on us by society are contributing to a world health crisis. I believe that by opening our minds to a simpler way of life, which includes that very important component, looking after yourself first to ensure that you are fit to care for others, should be embraced.
If you haven't ever had a massage, do yourself a favour. If you have and it was so painful you never want another, that is exactly why you should. Your body was telling you it's unhappy!
So now I'm looking forward to the next one!
