Well I think I'll read the book, then. I've always been meaning to, but your results with it is just the motivation I need. And please, let me know how your massage goes.

Hi again,

If you have someone you can "trade" massages with, there's a how-to video at the end of this article https://www.wikihow.com/Do-an-Indian-Head-Massage

I suggest actually getting and giving one yourself to observe if you like it and it helps you... It takes less than 10 minutes.

Cheers,
BB

Recently I had a rash all over my back and neck and was kind of freaked out. I never get rashes. What is it? Is it Morgellons, I wondered? Oh, no! Then I figured out that it was poison ivy and I got it when my husband gave me a back massage! He didn't remember touching poison ivy and had washed his hands many times that day. So...a hidden danger of back massages. Who knew?

very interesting I guess I have never really thought about it..but I know I sure could use a massage.

great thread. It makes sense that a good neck massage reduces ones blood pressure. I have also started using the Heart Tracker system. I am training to create a deep parasympathetic relaxation response simply by doing deep paced breathing. I have done this for over 6 weeks and have noticed a normalization in my blood pressure.
