A belly massage can be a very pleasant and intimate experience. Would you like to receive such a massage but do you have doubts? Then you will find frequently asked questions here.
Can emotions be released during a massage?
It often happens that emotions are released during a massage. Releasing emotions is a natural process. Especially when energy blockages are being addressed in the body, old tension can be released and an energy flow can start. This energy flow is sometimes tingling, joy, ecstasy. But often with tears or sadness.
Especially with an (abnominal / deep tissue) abdominal massage, a lot of stored emotion and tension can be released in the form of energy packages.
How does an energy blockage arise?
This energy block can arise in various places in the body, especially around internal visceral organs. Think of the abdomen and chest area: the heart, lungs, liver, stomach, pancreas and intestines.
The energy flow is once blocked when you have to deal with worries, negative feelings or an unprocessed situation.
We are often not aware of these pent-up feelings, but a hard place may have arisen in the body. In the long run, ignoring this can lead to poor organ functioning, various abdominal disorders and visceral imbalance. So if you feel irritated or tense, an abdominal massage can help release energy blockages.
How do you deal with emotions during a belly massage?
A stomach massage requires a careful, therapeutic approach in which you feel safe and trusted, and where there is plenty of room to express emotions.
The starting point for every massage is attentive presence. By being there for you completely as a masseur, an atmosphere is created in which you can be yourself. When a place where there is a blockage is carefully released old memories and emotions often come up. In case of grief, I provide comfort and warmth. Usually this does not take longer than 1,5 minutes. Then the released emotion flows through your body like electricity and afterwards you will feel more vital, more flexible and your organs will function better again.
