| - | Working behind a terminal can tense up your body quite a lot, blocking circulation, and most importantly, a whole lot of Free Drugs that are naturally produced by your body to make you feel good. The remedy is simple. Just relax! There are several ways to do that: | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | + | ||
| - | * exercise (with or without partner(s)) | + | |
| - | * use drugs, such as nicotine (see note) | + | |
| - | * meditate | + | |
| - | * massage | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | Being massaged is a nice method, since it does not damage your health (depends on the masseur of course) and it requires very little effort. Massaging itself is a great way to make somebody feel better, which will have very nice side effects such as world peace. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | Note: nicotine does not actually help you to relax, but rather paralyses parts of your nervous system to prevent so that you won’t notice the stress. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomic_nervous_system for all the nerdy details. | + | |

| - | ==== What will I learn? ==== | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | + | ||
| - | I am planning to teach some simple techniques used in shiatsu that can have a good result already. It is important to keep the techniques simple, so that you will remember them and can perform them easily. I’ve been requested to teach a foot massage in any case. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | ==== Isn't this dangerous? ==== | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | + | ||
| - | You should treat your partner with respect and be careful if you massage. When being massaged, if something hurts or is not comfortable, you should say it! The techniques that i want to explain are not dangerous. Nevertheless, participating is at your own risk (makes it more exciting too). You should be careful in the following cases: | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | * when pregnant (certain areas can be dangerous) | + | |
| - | * when epileptic seizures are possible (don’t massage the head) | + | |
| - | * when having high blood pressure (don’t massage the head) | + | |
| - | * when having broken bones (massage won’t heal them, especially not the masseur that broke them) | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | ==== What should I bring? ==== | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | + | ||
| - | One of the most important things is that everybody feels comfortable and relaxed. Therefore, wear comfortable clothes that are not too tight, especially around the waist (tight belts etc). Take off sharp jewelry as it can hurt someone. If you have any sharp implants that cannot be removed, inform your partner (if you are not human at all, the massage techniques may not work for you). If the weather allows it, we can do the workshop outside in the grass. A towel would be handy to lie on. A thin self inflating matress would work too. Big soft air matresses are too soft and will actually hurt. A pillow or cushion can come in handy to support your head. Oh and most importantly you should find a nerd that wants to massage you, or a vict^H^H^H^Hpartner that you want to massage. Ideally you want to switch roles too. | + | |
