The massage, a caress which does not want to say its name ?
By restricting the functions of the
touch, by codifying them to the extreme, by opposing interdicts there, the cultures muzzled this language of the body. In the
East, it is aberrant of saying that a woman is more sensitive to the caresses than a man, just as a Master tantric would be amused - or been sorry to see the poverty of what we decided to regard as erotogenic zones.
In
India, for example, the massage is a daily activity that everyone practises: the women lengthily mass their babies and the children learn how to make in the same way with their parents. In the
East, since millenia, the massage occupies the social field like a demonstration of attention
reciprocal. The Greeks and the Romans saw the things in this manner, them which went readily to Balnéum, or thermal
baths, to be made there wash but also rub, to even cherish by slaves. It will thus be necessary to await the end of the XIX° century so that the massage makes its reappearance in Europe, introduced by the Swede Per Henrik Ling.
Paradoxically, it is in full reign of the puritanism that he is a great success. It should be said that it found a concrete alibi: its therapeutic
effects. One is not made mass by pleasure but to look after itself.
It is at that time that is born the distinction between massage and
cherishes.

THE AWAKENING OF THE BODY :
sensory awakening
Although our body is the sign even of our existence on
ground, the intellectual processes took such an importance in our companies which we too often forget our body
reality. However it is by him that we live, that we feel, that we perceive the world and the
others. What of astonishing so that the man smells himself more and more crossed,
lost, "badly in its skin" since it lost the contact with his body, with its
"consistency"?
Us summon Corps and Spirit inseparable and yet the great majority recognizes neither the
role, nor the value of the body.
The man of today listening less and less his body, it uses it like an instrument. He took refuge in his head in the
words. He discusses, analyzes the life in an increasingly abstract way and the words end up becoming more significant than the experiment
itself. We lost the contact with our body and we are worried any only when it is announced to our attention by the pain or the
disease. We are not very conscious of our posture. of our step. of our breathing.
We feel that we have "the feet on
ground" and it is enough to put the back at the wall to realize how much we are ignoramuses of the shape of our spinal
column.
When we make a gesture, do we perceive the play of the articulations and the muscles?
Are we attentive with the amplitude of our movements? Not, taken in the rate/rhythm of the everyday life, and in our
thoughts, more concerned about the result of our actions than in our manner of moving and of feeling us, we often settle in an image
deformed, narrowed, limited our body. We do not perceive how, actually, we are dependent on our body, how it conditions our reactions and our manner of living.
let us learn how to listen to it, to rediscover it in its richness and its
wisdom.
It resounds with each situation, it informs us about the way in which really live we it. The body feelings translate the
"truth" of the moment much more than our analysis of the situation or what we think
Our body speaks us, listens to it, lives it. Vitality, an intense communication with the
other, an opened out sexuality, the joy of the physical activity and movement, all that is lived in and by the body.
The relation that I have with my body is with the image of the relation which I have with myself and with the
others.

Indications
To give pleasure, seek the good to
be, to be cajolé and cocooné;
To overcome the stress;
The stress would have an action, whose importance is not yet well known to us, on the mechanisms of defence of the
organization, the immunizing resources. Studies show that strongly stressed individuals present a significant
fall, in blood, of the lymphocytes, the cells charged to produce the
antibodies. This is why the fact of being stressed makes more fragile to the infections. You can easily notice it on
yourself: when you are badly in your skin, you more easily catch an influenza, an angina or a
sinusitis. Contrary, if you are in full form, you will not be affected by the viral infections, even if
everyone, around you, is sick.
