Ayurvedic Massage Training "Shirotchampi"

Shirotchampi is a head and neck massage that promotes the harmonization of the right and left hemispheres of the brain. This massage is very relaxing, it fights insomnia, reduces migraines and improves vision problems related to eye strain. It is also recommended for hair loss, with Ayurvedic oils making hair shinier and stronger. It is believed to clarify ideas, improve the quality of intellectual work while promoting concentration. In the Ayurvedic tradition, the 5th sense is the mind, and it is also the most important. Since the head is the most important part of our body, besides the brain, pineal and pituitary glands, it also controls the five senses. Ayurveda considers that they are all interconnected. Head massage is most often performed with sesame oil, so as not to alter the color of the hair, or virgin coconut oil, in order to protect it from UV radiation. This massage is performed in two stages, the soothing phase and the toning phase, the latter being complementary. However, they can be performed separately depending on the client's request. The repetition of certain maneuvers, such as the harmony maneuver, encourages letting go. The changes in rhythm between the two phases allow for both unparalleled relaxation and cranial toning. In its full form, the Shirotchampi massage takes one hour. It should be noted that massages shorter than 15 minutes will have minimal beneficial effects. However, feel free to introduce this massage to your clients in a few minutes, with a view to future appointments or simply to build customer loyalty. Shirotchampi is an Ayurvedic discipline. It is therefore important to grasp its profound essence. Ayurveda in Devanagari script: आय#व%◌ॆद, is the association of the words "ayur" meaning life and "veda" meaning science. It is a wisdom and technique originating in India, which is practiced in Asia as "non-conventional medicine". In Europe, Ayurvedic massages have become widespread as a wellness practice. Ayurveda draws its sources from the Vedas, that is to say, from the collection of sacred texts of ancient India. Its principles are primarily derived from the use of natural plants and the observation of the human body. The earliest literature on Ayurveda appeared in India during the Vedic period, of which the Sushruta Samhita and the Charaka Samhita are the most important works. Ayurvedic practitioners have also developed a number of herbal preparations and procedures such as enemas, in addition to manual techniques to relieve various pains and ailments. In Europe, Ayurveda is an alternative technique not recognized by the state and patents concerning herbal preparations are still being challenged by official institutions, such as the Afssaps (French agency for the safety of health products) because their effectiveness has not been scientifically proven. Ayurveda is called nityam and apurusheyam, literally "eternal technique". It has retained its principles in broad outline, despite the foreign influences that India has undergone, such as Greek, Chinese, Persian or Tibetan influence. This knowledge fell into disuse for several centuries, following the Muslim invasions of northern India from the 8th century onwards. Ayurveda is making a strong comeback in India, in parallel with the Renaissance in Europe. With the various European colonizations, practitioners were subjected to numerous pressures. It was notably banned by the English, who considered it strange and immodest; it was very frowned upon to touch an individual's body except for doctors. It was not until India's independence in 1947 and the influence of Mahatma Gandhi that Ayurveda was once again considered a leading science. Today, Ayurveda seems to generate more interest for its approach to well-being than for its "ancient medical" aspect. It is said that in India there are countless techniques depending on the region and how the tradition has been able to survive orally during the different periods of invasions. Generally speaking, Ayurvedic massage techniques provide a lot of energy, have great relaxing properties and therefore correspond to the current needs of a large part of the population to cope with the stress and pressure of daily life. Ayurvedic massage is ideal for anyone seeking serenity and inner peace. In India, it is said that one rediscovers the joy of living by experiencing Ayurvedic massage. Although Ayurvedic massages have existed for 5000 years, Ayurveda as we know it is a method reinvented by Swami Yogi Anand Bharati, a famous contemporary Ayurvedic doctor, who considers it both a therapy and a vehicle to spread the riches of Ayurvedic science and philosophy throughout the world.
