Foot massage

What can you expect of a foot massage?

Foot massage is a benefit for the whole body. After having washed and relaxed both feet in a brouse bath, the masseur asks you to lay down on a massage table.Your legs and feet are being oiled and creamed and massaged with both hands in a routine of specific movements. The remarkable effect of this treatment is the complete relaxation not only in your legs but also in the rest of the body. Especially the thumb and the upper side of the fingers are being used to do the massage, but when pressing specific points which are connected to certain organs a little stick might be used. Some points could feel painfully if the corresponding organs are not in an optimal condition. The masseur always takes into consideration what his client can take and what he/she wishes to experience in that situation.

After the treatment you will undoubtedly have a deep nights sleep. The days after we advice to drink much water in order to eliminate the freed toxines and to reduce apparent negative feelings such as headache. Immediatly after the treatment you receive a cup of tea to put you at ease and enjoy.

Clothing : comfortable and relaxed clothing, pants that can be lifted up to the knees.

Do not take heavy meals or much food 2 hours before treatment.

Traditional Thai massage

What can you expect from such a traditional Thai massage?

How can Thai people succeed in staying relaxed and calm, seeing the sunny side of life? Maybe it's because of their weekly traditional Thai massage, also called 'yoga for lazy people' whereby they can enjoy a couple of hours of stretching, (passive) yoga, energyline massage and shiatsu therapy. After having washed hands (giver) and feet (receiver) you can lay down on a futon, a matrass filled with cotton layers. You may feel most comfortably by wearing loose cotton cloths. Thai massagerules tell us that 10 main energylines are coming from the navel and going to the different extremities of the body. The massage starts at the feet, continuing via the legs and the stomach and the back, finalizing with a splendid shoulder-, neck- and head-massage. Usually the attention goes especially to the legs carrying off unnecessary energy to the earth, but if necessary the back, the shoulders and the neck can be massaged more intensively, for that's the place where Western people hold their 'most cherished' blockades.

Wim Van Aelst prefers basically the Northern Chiang Mai style, because it is softer en more accessible for people who are not used to massages. The Southern style of the Wat Po school is a stronger massage and more adapted to experienced people. After the massage you get a delicious cup of tea for your relaxation. It is advisable to drink a lot, certainly when you haven't experienced previous massages.

Wear loose and relaxed clothing and don't eat much 2 hours before the massage.

Ayurvedic massage

To many insiders this is the queen of all massages : a soft kind of massage whereby the body is rubbed with delightful warm medicinal oil. Mostly Narayan oil is used for its stress reducing effects by the many traditional herbs. No solid massage movements this time but soft and deep relaxation. The oil should stay on your skin two hours after massage. Bring some old cloths that you can put on afterwards. Extreme deep relaxation is possible when massaged by two masseurs as Ayurvedic treatment subscribes : both left and right part of the body are massaged with the same movements. Hereby the left and right brain hemispheres are synchronised. You experience an 'alpha' condition (as known in the 'Silva-method'). Creativity is stimulated, super-learning is at hand and your intuition is increasing. This last treatment is only available on special demand.

Clothing : underware, a string, or, even better, nothing. The massage is done with respect and the lower parts of the body that shouldn't be uncovered, shall remain covered. Bring two large towels, one to put on the table and one to cover yourself and old clothing for afterwards. Do not eat heavy meals 2 hours before massage.

Tibetan bowls bath

Experience calmness and peace by a Tibetan bowls bath.

While laying on a matrass the bowls are singing all around you. The bowls do have a rich and long vibration which resonates with the cells of the body, resulting in a deep harmonising effect and full relaxation. This is where wellness begins.

Hotstone massage

Enjoy the warmth and the energy of basalt stones, softly placed upon your oiled skin. The stones are getting warmed up 'au-bain-marie' and the warmth is penetrating softly into the body, relaxing the underlying skin-tissues, the fascia and the muscles. Some stones remain on your body during the treatment. Two other stones are used to massage the body. They are regularly changed to keep the temperature of the body constant. A unique experience!

We only are using naturally formed old basalt stones which have been exposed to natural forces during thousands of years. They are unloaded in the ground before full moon and uploaded by full moon. So you better wait for a treatment immediately after full moon.

For ladies a small slip or string is advisable.

Ear candles

This is an old therapy originated from the Hopi-Indians. The ears are cleansed by means of hollow burning candles made of soft bee-wax.
Afterwards you can enjoy a sweet massage of your face. Naturally this treatment is very helpful for the relief of all kinds of ear-, nose-, throat and other head complaints.

MRS (magnetic resonance system)

MRS is also resonating with objects, not by means of sounds but with earth magnetism. It serves the same goals as Tibetan bowls to harmonise and to bring balance. Therefore MRS supports the effects of Tibetan bowls. The basic frequency of Mother Earth (7,6 Hz) is the same as the frequency of the brain. MRS works with magnetic pulsations and the effects of such a pulsating magnetic field result in strenghtening the immune system, enhancing the regenerating forces and ameliorating performances in all areas of life.MRS consists of a mat, a pen and a stearing computer (cfr. photo).

The optimal effect of MRS originates in restoring the subtle balance between stress and relaxation.MRS can be a support in case of revalidation after an accident or serious illness, prevention, amelioration of oxigen-assimilation into the blood, stabilisation of the psyche, the get going of metabolism, improvement of the auto-immune system, increasing in all areas the quality of life. Because of the pollution of water, soil and air in the environment our auto-immune system is put more and more on the proof. MRS offers an evident answer to improve our resistance.The loving vibrations of Mother Earth are irresistable because of their beneficial effects for mind, body and soul.

MRS generates pulsating earth magnetism by means of a mat and a stearing computer in order to fortify the auto-immune system and to provide more energy to te body.

MRS supports health in case of revalidation or illness. It improves the bloodstream and the absorbation of oxigen in the body and it provides inner balance.

MRS ameliorates the quality of life and mends all kinds of performances.

The combination of MRS and Tibetan bowls is a gentle way to delicious relaxation.
