How to do Massage - Where can you do massage?
How to do Massage - Where can you do massage? People always ask me where you can do massage and where not? Hey that's up to you. I can do massage wherever I am. I can find a quiet spot to stand or have the person sit on a park bench, on a towel on the beach or in the seats of a trolley train. Okay on the plane you have to be a little bit creative, but where there is a will there is a way.

Massage Tips page ready
I know it took me a long time to put this massage tips page up. But it is ready and I will also add some more other tips pages soon that are more specific on some of the points I make here.
Make sure you think about what I say in the article. They are very crucial for success in massage, especially if you are a beginner. I have used these points effectively in many Partner Massage seminars. My main issue are (and I will bring some more about this)
1. Hygiene of both the giver and the receiver. No touching face after touching feet or other body parts.
2. Pain - Stop when it hurts. I have met many professional therapists who insist that pain is good or sometimes necessary. I have rarely accepted pain in my work as a sign of healing, but rather saw it as a dead end. I believe it is neglect on their part of the body's intelligence to know what's good and what's not.
The more flexible you are and the more you can adapt to different situations by learning and studying, no matter if it is on a person,in books, in courses or even listening to the news on the TV, the more creative your work will be and the more you will find your way to effective massage without any pain.

Full Body Massage Sequence in Swedish Massage Video
This Full Body Massage Sequence in Swedish Massage Video shows the routine that I have learned in Europe about 20 years ago.
I know there are many different styles and most of them offer a full body massage, but this is I would say the most basic one, the one that most of beginners learn first.
To be honest I don't see a specific logic in it, but that's just my opinion.
I would understand to open the upper body before the lower body, to make it possible that waste material get exposed properly. But for some reason swedish massage does that only on the back, but not on the front.
From an energetic point of view it is also not consistent. It is good to work down the back (as Chi flows downwards on the back of the body) and then work up the front (as Chi flows upwards on the front of the body. But then you do the front and back of the arms at the same time. That would short circuit the energy flow. There are other details that do not support this sequence from an energetic point of view, but it is a little bit more complicated.
Anyway for a general massage for wellbeing and relaxation, this massage sequence works fine.

The Truth about Massage Techniques Video
The Truth about Massage Techniques Video talks about the fact that even many of professionals focus too much on massage techniques. I'm not saying that massage techniques are bad, but the fact that you know how to do a certain massage technique does not make you a great massage therapist yet. You need to know when and where to apply it. My motto was always to learn new massage techniques only, if I have successfully mastered the one I have learned before.
I'm actually only use very few techniques in my practice, but I know how I can use them. I am even sure that if you would really understand what a person needs by looking , hearing and feeling your common sense will tell you what to do.
But unfortunately most of us are not sensitive enough and we are not in a perfect world with perfect senses, so massage techniques help us to increase our sensitivity. But never overestimate massage techniques. Per se they do little.
My chinese massage teacher always used to say: "If you know where to treat, you can use your thumb, fingers, hand, elbow. You can even use your hand, a cane, a ball pen. And if you don't know, the best massage technique will not help you."
That's why it should be very encouring for beginners. Massage is 90% listening, and 10% technique. So everybody who is serious will be successful.

Massage Video Secrets - The Essence of Massage
Massage Video Secrets installment number 2 talks about the essence of massage or what you really need to know about massage. Everybody is talking about massage techniques and videos on the internet show you this and that and the other thing. But are you really going to be good, because you know a lot of techniques. A plumber is not good just because he has a truck full of tools. The two things you really need is the ability to listen and the ability to use your common sense.
This is not just important for massage but also important when you choose your massage therapist or massage teacher or massage school. But I will talk about that at a later time.

New massage video series
Since I lost my account on YouTube (super bummer!!!!), a friend of mine wanted to feature me on a different channel on YouTube, because he thought it sucked that I wasn't able to reach out to a lot of people with my massage videos anymore. So I accepted his offer and will parallel to technique videos now also run a massage video commentary on YouTube. Because YouTube is not even telling me why my account was taken down. Anyway that's the past - but my mission carries on. Stay tune!

Things like massage, exercise or relaxation techniques can help tremendously.

Depression and Massage Video
I think it is quite interesting that my YouTube account was deleted just when I released the Depression and Massage Video. I mean 20.000 - 25.000 people have watched my videos on YouTube daily. It's depressing. I think I need a massage now to make me feel better.
Depression Massage Therapy Video - More bloopers are a click away
Anyway I just wanted to mention in this connection, that sometimes people are not aware of their problems - they just feel down. Don't try to be a therapist. Or their psychologist. Just give them a massage that makes them feel great. That's the greatest gift that you can give them. Revitalize, Energize, and relax them. Then you are a great massage therapist.

YouTube Account Terminated
For some unknown reason YouTube permanently disabled my account today. I'm still trying everything possible to get it back, but it doesn't look good.
So pls be patient with embedded YouTube videos on my website. I will try to switch them out with the same videos from other video hosts.
Thanks
