Best Massage Ever! (you haven’t tried)
Hello love,
Today I’m sharing the most wonderful and magical massage out there! As a licensed massage therapist (& client) of many years, I’ve tried many, many different modalities, but the one massage I have yet to try is one that I LOVE to give and that is a Hypno-Massage!
Haven’t heard of a hypo-massage? You are not alone. I hadn’t either and I have been in the industry for over 20 years! In this love letter, I am going to explain: why this massage is so rare, what people say about it, and what to expect from the ultimate combo of hypnosis and massage in during a hypno-massage.
Why is hypno-massage so hard to find?
Hypno-massage is not as common as it should be because a practitioner has to be licensed/certified in both hypnotherapy as well as massage therapy. This involves schooling, examinations, and the desire to work with both therapies, the end result = practitioners are very limited.
After I became certified in hypnotherapy, I started thinking about how I can incorporate the deep levels of relaxation we experience in hypnosis into my massages. This led me to create my own hypno-massage. It is the one massage that I really wish I was on the table for!
What do people think of the ultimate hypnosis + massage relaxation combo?
The feedback from hypno-massage sessions is overwhelmingly positive. Have you ever felt like you just started to let go and the massage is almost over? While the average client may take 20+ minutes to fully relax on the table, hypnosis gets you there faster, way faster.
This plus the trance state, will have your session feeling significantly longer. Hypnosis + massage truly is a magical combination. My sessions are actually a trifecta because I incorporate Reiki energy work into my sessions too.
What to expect from a hypo-massage
There are no rules for adding hypnosis to massage. This makes finding a practitioner who vibes with you important. Two options I incorporate into my sessions are hypo-massage for deep relaxation and hypno-massage for healing emotional tension.
For deep relaxation, I like to start out the session with hypnosis and then allow the majority of the massage to be done in silence. This is not a traditional hypnosis session, addressing programing of the subconscious mind, but a much deeper level of relaxation and it allows the body and mind to be more receptive to healing.
The combination helps everyone go deeper, let go much faster. This treatment is perfect for people who “do not know how to relax”, people who feel like the massage is 1/2 over by the time they let their mind go, or if you just want “more” in a shorter amount of time.
When focusing on healing emotional tension, hypnotic guidance is spoken throughout the massage. Our bodies hold on to tension, memories, and emotions. Working on the muscles while using hypnosis simultaneously, allows the subconscious mind to release the stored limitations.
Client Impressions
Many clients say that an hour session felt like two hours. The feelings of floating, meditating, and euphoria are common occurrences. These well-being feelings are often experienced with hypnosis, sometimes with Reiki energy work, and when it is a really good massage, with massage therapy.
The combination of all three forms of healing is a beautiful and powerful experience. The truth is, hypno-massage is something to be experienced rather than to be read about.
I wouldn’t suggest a super deep - deep tissue pressure under hypnosis. A Swedish (medium or light) pressure or a Swedish - deep tissue combo is safest for states of trance. If you love the pain of an elbow in your traps, this is may not be the massage for you, unless you are willing to let go of those expectations.
Final Thoughts
If you have a hard time letting go or just want to float off the table, hypno-massage may be the next one you want to try. Experience the session for what it is meant to be, multidimensional healing for the mind, body, and soul. Have you tried hypo-massage yet or a Reiki-massage? Let me know down below or stare this with someone who loves massage.
Namasté,
Shona
