Feeling bogged down and lethargic?

Learn how to use Thai Body Herbal Compress and massage to help you relax and invigorate the mind and body.

Thai Herbal Compress massage has been practised by Thai healers and Buddhist Monks since the 14th Century. The herbal compress ball is a cotton muslin wrap filled with over 10 aromatic and therapeutic herbs chosen specifically to treat ailments such as stiff, sore or pulled muscles and ligaments, back pain, arthritis, chronic pain or injury, digestive dysfunction, migraines, and chronic stress or anxiety.

Our herbal compress introductory class is the perfect place for your journey into Traditional Thai medicine and therapies which are used by Daizen.

BENEFITS:

• The effects of the heat and the healing properties of the herbs have a deep impact on the body.  As the heat penetrates the pores, the skin becomes heated, blood vessels are dilated, and blood flow is stimulated, resulting in more rapid rebuilding and nourishing of the body’s tissues.

• The herbs hold the heat from the steam to deeply penetrate and relax the muscles and tendons. This aids in stretching contracted or shortened muscles to alleviate pain and tension in the body. Deep relaxation relieves stress, improving overall health and well-being.  The healing properties of the specific herbs provide added benefits for the sinuses, skin, respiratory system, heart, circulation, and digestion.

Hand reflexology uses points on the hand, which are more accessible for a quick daily massage. On each hand, there are reflex points that correspond to various parts of the body. Once pressure is applied, energy blocks begin to dissipate and inner healing can begin. Receiving a hand massage can provide you with significant health benefits. Come and feel your whole body relax and de-stress when you receive a hand massage from Daizen.

BENEFITS:

• Reduce stress

• Stimulate blood flow, increase oxygen and allows enhanced infusion of the therapeutic oils into the hand tissues

Melt away all your lock down tensions with this 5000 year-old Chinese health method that combines slow graceful movements with mental concentration and breathing to increase and balance a person’s vital energy.

Most exercises focus on building muscles or endurance, Qigong focuses on the body as a whole and involves the regulation and regeneration of the cardiovascular/circulatory, lymphatic, digestive, and nervous systems as well as the body's internal organs. Slow, graceful movements combined with mental concentration and relaxed breathing are used to increase and balance a person's vital energy or life force (qi). When mind intent and breathing technique is added to physical movement, the benefits of exercise increase exponentially.

Qigong is especially effective in reducing stress, thereby enhancing the immune system and preventing illness. Suitable for: Anyone of any age or physical condition.

Prepare for your Class

Qigong is a complete program for individual health and wellness but takes little time and effort for you to enjoy.

Focus on rhythmic breathing. As you prepare for Qigong practice, settle into a full, relaxed rhythm of breath. The quality of your breath is directly related to the quality of your practice.

Settle the mind. This is one of the most important things before you practice Qigong. If our focus is scattered, your energy will be scattered, too. In addition, settling the mind is a critical skill that Qigong will help you cultivate - a skill that brings you peace and helps to potentially reduce blood pressure and stress levels - prolonging your life.

Relax the body. After mental relaxation, you need to relax your body.

Enjoy!
