INTUITIVE OR ESALEN MASSAGE

This technique appeared in the mid-60s at the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California as a result of the combination of several massage techniques with Gestalt psychology.
As indicated by its name, it focuses on sensitivity.

The therapist works with hands, forearms and elbows using oils, essences and aromatic creams.

Through long and fluid movements and the harmonic, slow rhythm of the massage, a feeling of integration and balance arises.

One of the key elements is conscious use of the breath together with pressure, to unite mind and body... "I am this body and this body is me... I am this breathing..."

During this ‘oceanic flow’ parts of the body which had become forgotten start to be perceived together with the emotions associated with them.

The therapist´s presence and commitment accompanies this self-exploration through touch and breath, which facilitates the process of transformation.

It is especially indicated for those who desire to achieve a profound feeling of peace and wellbeing.
