During the last week of January, a lot of people that I know were feeling tired for no apparent reason. They couldn’t work it out, but just felt like they needed to slow down, take a break or go to bed early and sleep.
Now, there may be a perfectly good reason for this…
Anyone who is into Astrology will understand. There was a new moon in the middle of that week and also there were six planets lining up, with another one about to join the party. This feeling could become quite common during the year as we can expect to see some massive energy shifts coming our way.
These external forces can really affect some people and it drains out their energy, maybe this even affected yourself.
One of my friends was really affected by this and it lasted all week long. She didn’t do anything different to any other normal working week, but she felt absolutely wiped out.
She is a hairdresser and had to cancel appointments because of this. When I saw her, I mentioned about the New Moon energies and she asked me if I could book her in soon for another Shiatsu inspired massage to help get the energy flowing again.
I was able to fit her in at short notice and the treatment helped to balance her energy. After the treatment, she said “I bet this is how a new born baby feels – loose and free with a clear head.”
Working on a person’s energy system and combining it with the rocking technique, stretching and activating the meridians, can really be beneficial for most people.
The treatment cost her a lot less money than what she lost that week with work cancellations and she was very grateful for feeling a lot better afterwards.
So if you are feeling tired or run down, then it could be a good time to book in for a treatment and allow your body to recover some of the lost energy.
