North Lake Tahoe Massage: Connecting the Mind and the Body

Mind-Body Connection ...

Our world seems to fluctuate between crazy and manageable. Among the flutter and the stress, that vital connection between our heads and our hearts can get cloudy, potentially leading to a variety of health concerns. At which point to we say “hold on” and listen to what’s going on between our mind and our body?

The mind-body connection is one of the single most important physical/mental/spiritual connections of our everyday existence. Dating back before anyone can accurately date, it was believed that interference of this crucial mind-body connection was possibly the root of all illness. Even Hippocrates, considered the father of modern medicine, believed in the cause-and-effect relationship between the health of the mind and the well-being of the body.

So, what does a North Lake Tahoe massage provided by San Soma have to do with the scientific evidence of overall human health? Not surprisingly, quite a lot.

Time and time again psychologists have researched the effects of stress on our wellness. As most of us know, stress has a multitude of negative effects on our health (mental, physical and spiritual). We see the impact to our physical health in our own lives when we catch a cold or fall victim to the flu just days before a large presentation at work, permanent life changes (such as marriage or a graduation) and when we are feeling extra stressed in general. Among the findings of seemingly countless studies, researchers have found that while stress does indeed negatively affect our health, we were not defenseless against its grasp.

By practicing mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR, if you prefer acronyms) techniques, symptoms of physical and mental diseases can indeed subsided. And, as you likely guessed by now, one such stress reduction technique is therapeutic massage, which revitalizes the connection between your mind and body to promote overall well-being.San Soma provides North Lake Tahoe massage and is experienced in alleviating the stressors that interfere with the mind-body connection of our clients and we aim daily to eliminate mental cloudiness and promote relaxation and mental clarity. We hope you’ll connect with us soon for a North Lake Tahoe massage and work at re-securing that vital mind-body connection.
