Massage is a proven non-drug method for reducing stress and promoting relaxation. Because most insurance companies do not cover the cost of massage and bodywork in the United States, many people cannot afford the luxury of professional massage. Therefore, therapeutic home massage is an ideal alternative.

The Mind and Body Massage provides instruction encompassing three types of natural healthcare¡ªmassage therapy, music therapy and aroma therapy. A realistic nature recording is played during the massage allowing the massage recipient to feel as though they are on site in the natural environment. Aromatic massage oil is used to promote and enhance relaxation as well as stimulate one of the strongest of the body senses¡ªthe sense of smell. Particular body parts are massaged during specified tracks of the nature recording (and wi specified strokes) keeping in sync with the theme of the particular track.

Most self-help or how-to books on home massage concentrate on the body only, leaving the mind to heal itself. Because of a unique combination of fictional prose along with technical instruction, The Mind and Body Massage considers the need to address the mind as well as the body in its natural healthcare approach.
