Kriya Massage Therapy

What is Kriya massage therapy?

Kriya massage therapy is a form of massage therapy that is intended to focus on, utilize, and manipulate the natural energy within the body (the word “kriya” is actually defined as “spontaneous energy movement”).

It is actually often referred to as a “bodywork dance” in which the patient creates her own artistic movement and style in harmony with the four universal forces. During this dance, there are many different classic forms of massage therapy that are used on the patient by the practitioner.

What are the benefits of Kriya massage therapy?

There are many benefits that can be achieved through Kriya massage therapy, including the following:

• Healing—just as with many different forms of massage therapy, one of the most often experienced benefits of Kriya massage therapy is the benefit of healing. This occurs in a variety of ways, the most prominent being that the massage therapy increases circulation of the blood and lymphatic systems, which can help the body prevent illness as well as heal itself. Kriya massage therapy is also able to help a person heal emotionally and mentally by allowing the patient to step out of time and space, take inventory of their condition, and shift their responses to life conditions, thus creating healing.

• Stress reduction—Kriya massage therapy offers stress relief at the moment of massage, but also as an aftereffect of the therapy.

• Improves posture—due to the movements and positions that a patient of Kriya massage will experience, the body will have achieved many physical benefits, improved posture being one of the most noticeable.

• Increased flexibility—Kriya is also a form of yoga, and whether you are experiencing a Kriya massage or Kriya yoga, the patient will experience improved flexibility as a benefit of the many positions the body obtains.

• Heightens awareness—similar to many forms of yoga and massage therapy, Kriya is able to benefit patients in the way that it heightens the patient’s awareness of the body-mind connection.
