Abdominal Massage; Level 1 (3 Days)

Service Description

Abdominal massage is perhaps one of the most profound forms of bodywork. The majority of physical and emotional imbalances and congestion are stored in the abdomen, yet ironically, abdominal massage has become virtually a lost art and science. Almost all energy lines and physical communication systems (blood, lymph, nerves) pass through the abdomen, and this area becomes a ‘dumping ground’ for stagnant energy. In addition to addressing physical ailments associated with all the internal organs, this work is proven to have incredible healing effects throughout the physical, emotional and spiritual bodies. Abdominal massage is patient work; truly an art and dance crafted with grace. This class will proceed with careful awareness and attention to anatomy, energy flow, and the breath. Christopher works on the floor, but we will also have massage tables available for those who prefer working on the table. Class includes: How to approach and work with the fear and complexities of the abdomen. Warming the belly, detoxing the skin, and opening the wind gates. Opening the breath. Abdominal anatomy and how to approach each organ. A 90 minute sequence. Belly self-care techniques. Take advantage of learning this invaluable information for your client’s health and for your own health. The details: Class runs from 9am-5pm each day with an hour lunch break. You will receive 20 ceu's. (NCBTMB) Cost is $500. Deposit is non-refundable 1 month before class starts
