Anma Massage

Many of the Eastern massage methods operate on the principle that your body has a “qi” that you can control and keep in balance with the right exercises. One of the exercises which you can use is what is known as Anma massage. This is very similar in style to QiGong Eastern massage. You will go through a series of movements in order to establish the flow of energy throughout the body to the points in which you need the energy the most. Keeping your qi in line is believed to allow your body to have the best possible circulation because your energy centers will be in the right place in order to regulate the flow of energy throughout your body. This form of massage is practiced in many parts of China and has been for centuries.
 
The main difference between qigong and Anma massage is that Anma is more hands-on. You will use a practitioner to help guide your body through different slow motions which will allow to your body to have the energy it needs because you will be able to establish the right place for your qi. Because the right method will be conducted on a near daily basis, this form of massage will also help you to increase your stamina and your metabolism. This is why so many have been turning to eastern massage even while the western medical community has taken a strong stance against the properties that such methods can provide you. It is hard for some people to accept the idea that anything other than physical manipulation can control your body.
