Let go of your stress and restore good health with a Thai Massage at Body lines

Thought to be over 2,000 years old, traditional Thai massage is an authentic healing art and unique kind of body therapy developed by people who used massage not only as a remedial method of healing to treat illnesses, but to conserve health and wellbeing.

Hilot Philippine indigenous massage

It is not easy to trace any organized establishment of the Hilot phenomenon. In the first section of this article, we alluded to the simple and instinctive “rubbing where it hurts” and the consequent recognition of patterns of causes and effects. What can really drive our curiosity is the aura of secrecy with which manghihilots seems to cloak their healing skills. In general, Filipino healing traditions – including the centuries - old Hilot – appear to be shrouded in mystery and secrecy.

This is more because those who have received the gift are not articulate in technical communications. They attribute their healing skills – rightly so – to a higher power. In search of an adequate presentation of skills and powers that are beyond their own comprehension, manghihilots of old have ritualized their healing activity, using the native animistic beliefs and vocabulary of their era, while discovering more cause-effect relationships along the way. And so, what may appear to some as superstition is really the manghihilot's in articulate attempt to modestly attribute the power to God (or a higher being). Amulets and anting-antings are statements of attribution. The proof of this modesty is that authentic manghihilots do not charge fees. Surprisingly, the rituals, chants, and oraciones somehow serve to predispose the sick person mentally and physically towards healing. Admittedly, some persons do venture into deeper spiritism. But whether external powers and principalities do intervene is a matter for further investigation. Learning the causes and beneficial effects of rubbing takes years. No wonder the manghihilot stereotypes are typically old men and women. There are, however, some amazing cases of prodigious children whose powers are undeniably gifts – i.e., acquired with minimal or no training at all. On top of these processes of discovery, we should add the influences of Chinese, Indian, Islamic and Western healing traditions. And so what do we have? An evolution of diverse beliefs and practices regarding health that have stood the test of time. stood the test of time.

Hilot Tradition

Despite its widespread influence, Hilot is a little-understood mode of healing. Individuals who have experienced Hilot cannot explain how and why they got well, only that they felt better after the Hilot session. Asking a traditional Hilot practitioner may just yield more questions, because in all likelihood, the albularyo or manghihilot (traditional healer) will explain Hilot as he learned it–through espirito (spirit), encanto (elementals), and kulam (spells). This is part of the reason why Hilot, as a healing tradition, began to be looked upon with skepticism as conventional western medicine–with its emphasis on science and empiricism–rose to prominence.

The Four Elements of the Body.

When it comes to the physical body, the Hilot tradition abides by the belief that man is made up of the four elements–earth, water, air, and fire. These elements of the body have a natural balance, which has to be kept within a certain range for the individual to be in a state of health. The balance of the four elements is determined by the mind/emotions–in a state of harmony, the four elements are balanced. In a state of disharmony, the elements of the body are in disarray. When thrown off-balance for extended periods, the elements of the body eventually give in to physical ailments and disease.

What’s Common Among Filipino Hilot Traditions

Today there are many versions of traditional hilot massage in the Philippines. For now, let’s take a quick look at what is common among them. A pre-hilot ritual is typically done at the beginning of a session, wherein the manghihilot invokes a universal transcendent or Divine power to provide the energy for healing. This opening ritual also acknowledges and invokes the natural power of the natural surroundings. Thirdly, it summons the sick person’s inherent self-healing powers to action. Having and maintaining warm hands is an essential requirement for all kinds of hilot massage. This is where coconut oil comes in handy, because it not lubricates the hilot massage, but it actually keeps the manghihilot’s hands warm. The use of coconut oil for healing purposes began in the Philippines, and the world is only now discovering the benefits of VCO as a base oil for aromatherapy massage. Elizabeth F. Nelle, director of product research and development of the DOT says that hilot is a highly intuitive massage wherein the therapist identifies areas of energy imbalance in the body through touch diagnosis. Traditional Filipino hilot involves massaging of hands and arms as a diagnostic step –“pagpupulso” – done in a seated position, to ascertain the cause of pain or discomfort. There are a number of interesting diagnostic methods. Thereafter, the manghihilot massages the head and neck; subsequently, in a reclining position, the torso, hips, legs, and lastly, the feet. At the end of the hilot, a ritual of thanks or pasasalamat is performed.

Traditional Hilot and Hilot Wellness

On one hand, the entry of Hilot into the spa industry was good, because it revived interest in Hilot, especially in urban areas where very few people know or have access to it. On the other hand, however, Hilot’s rise in popularity in the spa industry has also attracted many players who are not actually knowledgeable on traditional Hilot, but want to join in on the Hilot bandwagon.

As a result, there are those who perform ordinary massage which do not follow traditional Hilot principles, but label it as “Hilot.” Unfortunately, this reinforced the view that Hilot is no more than just a type of massage. This is also a cause of concern, because there are people who go to the spa hoping for relief from their aches and pains (as one would expect with real Hilot), but come out from the treatment even worse off, because the manipulations they received were far from the real practice of Hilot.

Hilot Wellness, when performed correctly and according to the principles of traditional Hilot healing, truly improves an individual’s well-being. One just needs to make sure that the therapist who will perform it is well-trained, and has experience in applying this treatment modality.

There are also a host of indigenous Filipino treatments or “modalities” that are associated with hilot. These healing practices have been passed on not through institutional instruction, but by apprenticeship or plain exposure, and are passed on to relatives and neighbors. Hilot traditions have literally “rubbed off” from generation to generation.

Hilot is the Science of the Ancient Filipino Healing Arts

什么是灸感？ What is moxibustion sense?

很多关于艾灸的书籍都指出，艾灸时出现灸感可以促进身体康复的速度，但大部分对于灸感的描述都不详细，不少朋友在实际操作中不了解什么是灸感，有的甚至将烧灼的疼痛做为灸感来追求，影响了养生治病的效果。下面就从几方面详细的解决一下关于灸感的问题。 所谓灸感，从字面上理解是做艾灸治疗时身体的感觉，由于人的个体不一样，所产生的灸感也不尽相同。传导是最佳的灸感，也是做艾灸最应当追求的效果。当艾灸某一个穴位时，温热感由这个穴位沿着一定的经络轨迹向其它的穴位行走，这通常也叫做感传。大家知道艾灸的治病健身作用是利用了艾草具有通经活络的特性，如果艾灸时没有传导，只是对一个穴位起作用，而出现了感传，说明通过一个穴位调节了所传导到的几个穴位或者几条经络，这样对身体气血的调节作用就得到了增强，治病健身的效果肯定会得到提高。

由于人体经络的情况不一样，并不是所有人在艾灸时都会出现感传，大多数人第一次并不会出现传导，而只是感觉到温热，随着艾灸时间长了，经络堵塞被逐渐打通，到一定程度后才会出现传导。除了传导外，艾灸过程中出现凉、热、痛、痒等感觉通常也被看做是灸感的一种，这是因为在艾灸的作用下，人体经络穴位被疏通的过程中，人的神经所感觉到的变化，凉时会有冰冻的感觉，热时会让人全身汗出，痒时会让人难以忍受，出现这些感觉，往往预示着艾灸对治病健身有效，说明艾灸在对身体的调节发挥着作用。 也有很多人在接触艾灸后一段时间并没有任何的感觉，这种现象与人的经络敏感度有并，也与人的体质有关系，灸字本就有长久的意思，只要坚持不懈的利用艾灸来改善自己的体质，不出现灸感也会潜移默化的增强人体的抵抗力，让人们在不知不觉中获得健康.

Four Hand Massage

The four hand massage may be the best choice because the benefits are very similar as other massage styles, but the relaxation and pain relief may arrive more quickly because twice the work is being done to the body. Many people enjoy four hand massage because they find it extremely effective and relaxing, and they enjoy the sensation of being pampered by two massage therapists.

四手按摩

四手按摩是两个按摩师为一个客户同时按摩。四手按摩时两个治疗师反映出她们各自的动作。例如，你的腿或手臂可以同时间享受按摩。一个治疗师会工作在你的背部的右侧，另一个会在你的左侧。两个师傅有她们不同的按摩风格，专业的按摩师在双飞按摩时会表现很默契，不会在按摩时令客人产生任何的尴尬。按摩师会同时有节奏感的在客户身体上四手联弹。

四手按摩现在是很流行的，已经被添加到许多的温泉度假胜地的温泉菜单。（有些人甚至有八手的按摩。） 四手按摩在很短时间内可以减轻人身体上的疲劳同让人达到放松身体的效果。

Four-hands-massage is also healing for our minds as well as our bodies. Having an extra pair of hands do some bodywork can create a different sensation in our minds. At first, our mind tries to figure out who is doing which motions but as time goes on, we start to let go and give our minds a rest, allowing our bodies to drift into a deeply relaxed state. A four-hand massage is perfect for the overworked clients that need lots of care. Our "four hand massage" it´s Balinese massage inspiration for Wellbeing.

双人四手可有效修复平衡皮肤的活力，镇定神经，疏通毛孔，缓解肌肉疼痛，解压，祛寒，放松，调理亚健康状态。

  Why get a Four-Hands Massage? When two therapists and four hands hit your body, your mind reacts differently. At first you might find yourself trying to keep track of the therapists, where each one is and what each one is doing, struggling to keep it all in a very logical order in your head. But very quickly your brain realizes it’s not sure who is doing what, and gives up control. This is a powerful treatment for anyone who has a hard time letting go during treatments.

In Our Massage Center in Madrid you will enjoy the pleasure and relaxation of having four hands massaging you at all times during the session... and now... We have this massage in Offer for your pleasure and wellbeing.
