You may recognize this scenario, you plan a holiday, look forward to it for months, jump on a plane and on arrival come down with a cold or a flu type bug. What has happened is your nervous system has been activated and your body’s normal state of relaxation that allows repair to the body have been activated.
Your cold or flu were probably present in your body before you left but because you were in a state of stress with all the packing, forgotten to buy the Euro ect your body was stressed.
We all have our own individual experience of what it feels like to be ‘stressed’, deadlines are indeed a common cause.
And now the massage bit:- Massage, is reassuring, an experienced massage practitioners touch is deeply relaxing, inviting deep breath and a slowing of the heart rate, tension in the belly disperses and we feel ourselves again , if you like we are in our body again.
I always recommend to my clients to book some massage before they go away, once all the packing and rushing around is over, afterall why not arrive already chilled out and relaxed to your holiday, it enables you to make the most of your time.
So here is my invitation to relaxation, take some time out before you go, for a massage, sauna or long country walk, Bristol has alot to offer, whatever relaxes you and helps you to make the most of your holiday.
