How Massage effects the Emotions

How can a massage make you relax in emotional and psychical ways?

In first instance, the stressed human (body) is not capable of releasing and relaxing their tensions.
Once halfway the first treatment, most of the superficial tensions are already gone and tissue
deeper in the body is effected and relaxing with-it.

  1. Breathing and heart-beat are slowing-down (normalize).
  2. muscles getting relaxed, which makes them pulled back in their original state.
  3. the stress hormone cortisol is lowering.
  4. chaos in someone’s head is taking off.
  5. the powerful emotions which can control someone are getting tempered.

Emotions are not flat-out (like some medication is doing).
Massage makes it easier to release and handle your emotions, since the body can relax
(which has effects on the psyche) and make the whole human relax.
Then the human mind & body can charge itself up (getting energy is always during a state of rest,
i.e. during energetic massage, sleep or meditation). This way, stress can be released (during the massage) and energy can build up (partially during the massage, partially after it).

When one has enough energy, they can carry the stress.

It's easy to understand why the business massage is such a good thing for a company and their employees.

Enough energy is mainly a thing of having as less blockades as possible.
The less blockades, the more balance. This gives a good flow of blood in the whole body,
nerves are capable of releasing their tensions quick and efficient, and thoughts and emotions
are getting the rest they need.
