Stick and stone massage

Need a moment of relaxation? Use the relaxing power of a lithotherapy stone massage stick!

Its particular shape, combined with the virtues of the crystal in which it is cut, will do wonders to restore health and vitality at all levels. But also, to promote physical and mental relaxation.

Here is a small guide to the stone massage stick, where we talk about the properties of the object, choice and use. Ready for a total well-being?

 

The Stone Massage Stick, A Millennium Wellness Tool

The massage stick, what a strange object... With its pointed or rounded end and its elongated shape, it may seem slightly impressive. However, it is a fantastic tool for well-being, used for several millennia and developed over the ages.

The first applications of the massage stick as a therapeutic support date back to ancient China. It was used, within the framework of the powerful and wise traditional Chinese medicine, to facilitate the circulation of chi, the vital energy, in the body.

By restoring the flow and balance of energy in diseased areas, healing and proper organ function were encouraged. The application of the massage stick to tense muscles also helped to loosen knots and gradually relieve physical and psychological tension. The result was a deep sense of relaxation and inner peace.

The principle of the massage stick is quite simple, and has always been the same: the tip of the stick is applied to the areas of the body subject to physical and/or energetic imbalance.

A direct application allows to relieve muscular contractions and other physical pains. A "remote" use acts on the subtle energies of the body, in particular on the chakras or energy centers. A stone massage stick can also be used in reflexology. The object is then gently applied on the points of the hand or the foot corresponding to various organs.

Finally, a crystal wand can also be used as a vibratory amplifier as part of a ritual or a crystal grid.

 

 

 

How to Choose Your Crystal Massage Stick ?

You want to take the step and adopt a massage stick, but do not know how to select it ? Three words: stone, shape and feel.

But read on, we'll tell you more right away...

The first criterion to take into account when choosing the massage stick that will best suit your needs is the stone used.

Each crystal has a specific energy and virtues. Also, in addition to its relaxing properties, a stick will have the benefits of the stone from which it is cut.

So choose your massage stick according to the area of your life you wish to heal or strengthen.

As a reminder, here is a small overview of the stones and their main virtues:

• Rose Quartz: energy of Love, especially self-love-ideal for face and body massage, conducive to tenderness towards oneself and in relationships,
• Amethyst: energy of peace, clarity of mind and connection to the Divine-perfect for relaxing the body and mind and opening the being to subtle information,
• Aventurine: energy of abundance, growth and good fortune-use in massage to develop confidence in life and attract good fortune,
• Black obsidian: energy of protection and vitality-ideal for purifying and balancing the energies of the body, particular action on the root chakra to promote anchoring and tonus,
• Tiger's eye: energy of self-confidence-perfect for massage or energetic application on the solar plexus chakra, loosens the knots in this area and promotes a sense of personal power,
• Rock Crystal: energy of purity and higher planes-use as a massage stick over the entire body to cleanse the aura, promote mental clarity and reconnect to a higher presence (angels, guides, higher self...),
• Rhodonite: heart-healing energy-perfect for gentle massage application to the heart area, promotes clearing of blocked emotions, emotional healing, and feelings of love.

 

A Question Of Shape

The second criterion to observe when choosing your lithotherapy stone massage stick is its shape.

Thus, an elongated stick with a pointed tip will be more suitable for energy work on the energy centers and the circulation of chi, because its pointed tip allows to direct the energy precisely to the desired area. It will also be an excellent support for rituals and crystal grids. Its sharper vibration will indeed ensure a good transmission of the intention to the Universe.

A massage stick made of stone with a round tip will be more suitable for physical massages: its rounded end will be ideal to relax tense muscles and relieve physical pains of all kinds. Of course, it will also have beneficial effects on the energetic level, depending on its base stone.

 

Trusting Your Feeling

As with everything in life, this is the best thing to do when choosing a massage stick!

When faced with several choices, take each item in hand and connect to your feeling. How does your body react? Do you feel a sense of well-being and openness? Or, on the contrary, a slight feeling of discomfort?

Let your body and your emotions be your guide: they are the best judges of which massage stick will be most appropriate for your specific needs.

Here is another effective somatic method to make an informed choice: standing with your eyes closed and the massage stick in your hand, ask yourself the question: "Is this massage stick right for me? If your body tilts slightly forward, it's a "yes". If it freezes, stiffens or falls slightly backwards, the answer is "no".

 

 

Use of the Stone Massage Stick

You can use your stone massage stick as a self-treatment, for a delightful relaxation session after a long day. Or, use this object as part of an energy or physical therapy session.

Of course, it should be remembered that treatments with a stone massage stick are only complementary to medical care. All the more so if the objective is a physical or psychological healing.

Use your massage stick to work on the body's energy centers and promote a good flow of energy throughout the body.

The easiest way to do this is to focus on the seven main chakras of the body. With or without physical contact, point your massage stick at each energy center, starting with the root chakra. Moving up to the coronal chakra, make a gentle circular motion in a clockwise direction over each chakra. When you feel that the chakra has regained its harmony, move to the next one.

For the precise location and function of each energy center, see our detailed series on the chakras on our blog.

This simple energy work will already have a powerful purifying and harmonizing effect on the overall energy system.

 

Reflexology

This method takes only two or three minutes, and is based on the reflexology zone of the hand corresponding to the spine. It can bring physical and psychological relief in all circumstances.

By applying the end of the stick directly to the skin, draw a line from the tip of the thumb to the wrist. Do the same on your left hand.

Then, make a few rotational movements on the fleshy part of the hand, below the thumb, followed by zig-zag movements on the same spot. This simple action helps to balance the brain and regulate the nervous system, promoting total relaxation.

This is a small example of how the massage stick is used in reflexology. With a little research, you will find many other methods that are just as simple and effective!

 

 

 

Face and Body Massage

A wonderful use of the massage stick to relax and rejuvenate the body and mind after an active day...

Take your round-tipped massage stick and simply apply its tip to tense areas of the body, massaging gently, without straining. This will also work wonders on sore muscles. If the area is on your back, ask a partner to perform the movement for you.

Do the same on the face, especially the temples, which are prone to tension during a long effort of concentration.

A regular massage with your massage stick will promote physical well-being, true and total relaxation, and renewed vitality!

 

And Don't forget the Yoni Egg!

For your personal massage session, think also of the yoni egg, in addition to your massage stick! The latter is also sometimes called a yoni stick or shakti stick.

So whether it's with your yoni egg or your massage stick, you can also take care of your intimacy by stimulating it with these fantastic objects. A regular massage of this area with a tool such as the yoni egg or the massage stick has many benefits.

It allows for example a strengthening of the perineum, as well as the relaxation of perineal and vaginal tensions. Your "yoni ritual" will also contribute to a better sexual health both physically and psychologically, awakening the sensations and increasing the power of orgasms. And, of course, it will promote a total and deep relaxation...
