Heavenly
Head Massage focuses exclusively on the upper
body, i.e. upper chest, shoulders, neck, head
and face.
It was developed by Shama to be a truly heavenly experience.
The receiver experiences deep relaxation, often drifts
into a healing sleep, or goes into a trance-like state.
Many clients have stated that they have never before
experienced such profound levels of relaxation, well-being,
peace, and balance. Mental activity ceases, worries
and stress melt away, and one's energy changes to a
state of calm like an inner candleflame which does not
flicker.
Upper chest and shoulder work opens
the chest, promotes health of lungs and heart, and encourages
relaxed and deep breathing.
Neck work: Driving as well as staring
into TV and computer screens for extended periods of
time often results in stiff necks and loss of flexibility.
Heavenly Head Massage includes extensive neck work,
manipulation and stretches, which can restore flexibility,
relaxation, and range of motion.
Head and face work is the heart of
Heavenly Head Massage. This is an essential skill for
any kind of bodywork. Few people would not deeply enjoy
the soothing touch of skilled hands on their head. It
is a natural instinct to touch someone's head if we
want to express caring, empathy, affection, and love.
Most mothers naturally stroke their children's head,
and lovers spontaneously and naturally express their
affection by caressing their partner's head. Heavenly
Head Massage has a wonderful and extensive range of
movements to experience a blissful state of well-being,
peace and relaxation.
Healing benefits: Disease is a state
of acidity in the body. Some factors which aggravate
acidity are stress, worry, negativity, and inability
to relax. The body cannot effectively mobilize its inner
pharmacy and healing mechanism if too much energy is
needed to cope with the above mental habits. Any fear
based emotion drains energy from the body.
Heavenly Head Massage produces an alkaline or health
promoting condition by counteracting negative mental
conditions. Like sleep, deep relaxation is the time
when the body can most effectively regenerate, rebuild
and rebalance itself. However, sleep can be disturbed
by bad dreams, insomnia or restlessness. Heavenly Head
Massage will induce all the healing benefits of deep,
restful, undisturbed sleep. It will lower the brain
frequency to alpha, the level of meditation. It will
produce a flood of endorphins, the body's natural pleasure
hormones that are linked to states of joy and health
and well-being.

Massage in Thailand is traditionally done on a mat
on the floor. Massage tables are not generally used
nor available.
Heavenly Head Massage is taught by
Shama on the floor, with the client lying comfortably
on the back, fully dressed. No oil is used. However
it can be done as easily on a massage table.
Heavenly Head Massage can be used as a stand-alone modality,
or parts of it can be used as the ideal ending for any
kind of bodywork session.

"The Heavenly
Head Massage was wonderful! The relief it brought
to my neck and shoulders was amazing!
Thank You."
Kim Klein, teacher
Before your massage, every part
of my body ached. And now I feel soft, tingling all
over, and like I am walking in a dream. "Heavenly" just
begins to describe it."
Lara Pilla
"After learning the Heavenly Head Massage from Shama, I immediately incorporated it into my massage sessions. The response has been fantastic! Never before had my clients experienced such a deep and profound sense of peace and relaxation from a massage. One of my clients responded....'I loved that move when your arms brushed lightly across my face, and after that I have no memory what you did or where I went.'
Thank you Shama for teaching me such a wonderfully mindful and gentle technique to share with my clients."
