For anyone who routinely gets massage, or even just treats them self to one from time to time…you owe it to yourself to head over to Atmah Ja’s on Broad Street and experience something unique.  For Atmah Ja, the practice of massage is about more than just the body, as she adeptly integrates meditative stimulation of the mind.

I was fortunate enough to experience a “Beat to your Creative Bliss” massage last Monday evening. And the experience didn’t just begin upon entering the beautifully designed massage room that clearly reflects Atmah Ja’s world travels, but rather it began the moment I entered the gallery.

The Art of Core Consciousness is filled with the beautiful artwork of Iamikan.  The pieces in and of themselves are meditative and full of expressive energy. The window near the back of the gallery was open, letting in a fresh, spring breeze and revealing an intimate and charming courtyard with greens nearly spilling through the windowsill. The sound of the courtyard’s fountain was trickling softly throughout the gallery, and you could make out the subtle scent of incense. In short, the gallery was a stimulation of the senses. Simply being aware of the energy in the room while taking in the colors and textures in each of Iamikan’s pieces creates a form of preparation to the practice you are about to embrace.

“Beat to Your Creative Bliss” is a full body massage that jolts and stimulates a sluggish body with an upbeat, percussive massage. Of course, like any good massage, it was relaxing and felt good on the muscles.  But it was so much more than that. This practice was designed to refresh and reboot the mental body, relieving old obsolete thought patterns trapped in an internalized physical system.

The experience Atmah Ja offers is an exchange of energy and meditation. During this practice she stimulated the flow of meridians, or lines of energy, and directed this creative force into every corner of my body. The meditative breathing that I had come into, sent prana (or life force) to all chakras, and as Atmah Ja stimulated each pressure point, I was able to breath our combined energy directly to her touch.

Overall, what this experience opened in me was a well needed opportunity to awaken my body and mind and shake away any haze that was preventing me from seeing my life clearly.

Through the use of pressure points and deep tissue stimulation in tandem with Atmah Ja’s transferring of energy, I was brought to a refreshed and awakened mind.  This was true to form, as this particular style of massage is designed so you can leave the gallery in an ideal state to find a quiet place to meditate, reflect and wholly prepare for your life’s next endeavors.

An old song says: “There might be a little dust on the bottle; don’t let it fool you about what’s inside.”  If you’d like a clearer look at the complexity inside yourself, head on over to The Art of Core Consciousness and try one of Atmah Ja’s unique forms of massage.  You’ll be so glad you did!
