...massage technique used to balance the natural rhythms of the body[1]. Gentle, massage-like techniques are used to physically amplify the internal vibrations of the body. This is believed to have a profound healing effect on health.[2]  Samvahan is described as rhythmic, musical and meditative. Trained Samvahan practitioners ‘tune’ into the client’s body as if it were a musical instrument. By reading and working with the subtle vibrations, Samvahan practitioners identify areas of harmony or imbalance in the body. Healing Samvahan vibrations are then used to travel through these tissues, removing blockages and releasing the body’s natural healing rhythms.  Samvahan originated in India more than 2500 years ago, but was revitalised in the 1930’s by Dr. Ram Bhosle[3]. Inspired by knowledge about the vibrational energy of the universe, Dr Bhosle studied ancient texts of the Hindu religion to learn about vibrational healing. This led him to eventually spend six years in the Himalayas with other healers perfecting the Samvahan method that is practiced today.  Samvahan is the international website for clients, students and healers of Samvahan. Courses were taught worldwide by Dr. Ram Bhosle’s apprentice, Michael Trembath. These are open to massage...

...massage, acupuncture and other modalities.  It is important for you to clarify which type of cupping (wet or dry) your practitioner will use on you, and how much experience they have in this therapy. To begin your cupping session, you will need to remove your clothing from the area where the cups will be placed. You will normally be given a towel or gown so you don’t feel exposed. If you are receiving wet cupping treatment, your practitioner will apply disinfectant to the area and use sterile, disposable equipment.[19] The practitioner will then apply the cups to acupuncture points along your body’s meridians (invisible energy channels), or myofascial trigger points[20]. The cups are usually left in place for approximately 10 minutes. If you are receiving cupping massage, which is a variant of dry cupping sometimes called ‘mobile cupping’[21] or ‘slide cupping’, your practitioner will apply massage oil before placing the cups. They will then be able to glide the cups over your skin,[22] with an effect that is a little like the ‘opposite’ of massage...
