I used to have a massage lady earlier who had a lot of anger seething in her, sometimes, because I am listening, she will talk about niggling or big things bothering her life in that moment (Some client made her wait, her ex-husband refused to buy festival clothes for her kids, stuff like that, which even otherwise I hate hearing!).
U can ask my family, but I would fall violently ill, and in a totally unpredictable way, after a what was otherwise a lovely massage. It seemed so strange since I have never been that way sick since I started yoga. I assumed that there was some sort of negative energy transference happening, without any intention from her side, that was affecting me that way! I have no other explanation ... I have become wary of taking alternative therapy without knowing its impact on me, simply because a bad job of a good thing can be the worst thing u ever did to yourself!!
Any case. this is not to give u a summary of the book Ayurveda Massage by Harish Johari. It is a recommendation of that fantastic book because as far as I can see, of all the books on massage I have, it has a list of contraindications on when massage MAY NOT be done (when u have a cold, sinusitis, for instance, did u know that!?)

Here a few more things u may want to know, but more on the positive side:

Here a few more things u may want to know, but more on the positive side:
- Massaging your temples improves focus.
- Sandalwood paste on forehead quietens, cools the mind.
- Eyebrow massage (which is why we do palming, but most people do that so cursorily, including in my class and I am tired of keeping on telling students that they must spend some effort and seconds in holding the final position of the hands).
- Forehead massage improves focus.
