IHM The Course

[Heidi A]

Hi, from reading other Posts it appears that the Indian Head Massage Course involves Balancing and Chanting. Can anyone who has done the VTCT course tell me if this is what the course is about?

Not sure that this was a large part of my VTCT course. There were something like 33-35 moves, and one of the final ones was chakra balancing, though it was not called this my our tutor - I think it was called facial relaxation - where you hold your hands for a few seconds over throat, then third eye, then crown chakras. It may vary from college to colleg and tutor to tutor so long as the whole course meets VTCT criteria.

Hi Ayres Rock

I took the VTCT course, and we did Chakra balancing and Aura cleansing, not chanting.

Hiya Ayres Rock

I did the Vtct course last year and we didn't do any chakra balancing or aura cleansing.

Hope you enjoy your course.

I've had an IHM treatment and there was certainly no chanting or chakra balancing involved. Sounds to me like stuff is being "added" that isn't part of the standard IHM treatment.

I think that chakra balancing is fairly standard in an Indian Head Massage routine. It is part of the routine used by Narendra Mehta, and he did introduce IHM to the West after all . It involves placing hands over the throat, third eye and crown chakra's towards the end of treatment. I don't tell clients that it is chakra balancing, but is a deeply relaxing part of the routine.

My VTCT course was based on Narendra Mehta's routine. I also bought his a DVD from his website and it is part of the routine.
