An Indian Head Massage starts with the client sitting in a comfortable chair for the duration of the one-hour treatment. It begins with a deep kneading and probing of the back, arms, neck and shoulder muscles. The head is then worked with the scalp being squeezed, rubbed, gently tapped and prodded.

The hair is briskly tussled and gently combed. Pressure points are gently worked on, and the ears are tugged and pressed. The face is massaged last, working with acupressure points to help relieve any sinus pressure, stimulate the circulation and to increase alertness.

The physical form of the massage actually works to release any stored negative energy trapped in the body, with a more subtle form of energy balancing which affects a person's energy centers.

This Ayurvedic element of chakra energy balancing focuses on the four higher chakras and has a powerful effect. Combined with the fresh flow of energy from reiki, the Indian Head Massage can bring the energy of the whole body back into balance by creating a deep sense of peace, calm and well-being.
