hroughout the ages there has always been a connection between art and spirituality and emotions. The great Russian abstract painter Wassilly Kandinsky, expressly refers to the nurturing of the spirit as the main purpose of art.That subtle touch by someone else which touches you. The art of massage, hair styling, facials, manicures and pedicures is an art form of divine touch which can be taken literally. When expressed correctly this hands-on physical art of touch, that is steeped in reality, has the limitless ability to provide profound pleasure. Let’s face it, when someone washes your hair or you receive a deep full body massage...it is a sublime experience.
These professionals represent the artist, whose finely tuned and sensitive soul responds to another indiviual in a very personal and positive way. There is almost a quality of mystery surrounding their generosity.
The ancient Art of traditional massage is the therapeutic practice of stretching, pushing, pressing and relaxing, has its roots extending back deep into history. It was evolved from ancient Chinese acupuncture and was used together with local herbal medicine to cure the ills of the village folk in the days before doctors became a part of the everyday scene. Their system is based on lines of energy believed to flow through the body and converge at many points. Pressure can be applied or needles inserted at these points to unblock the flows of energy that accumulate. The custom of taking a regular massage is still practiced today, as it has been proven to aid good health and bring long life.
The art of hair styling is the art of arranging the hair or otherwise modifying its natural state. Hairdressing has been an important part of the dress of both men and women since antiquity and, serves a number of functions.
In following the truest basics of art, different types of hairstyles are chosen according to the shape of the face in order to make the face resemble as closely as possible the perfect oval. The circularity of a round face may be minimized by a sleek, controlled style with side bangs. A square face needs a style that cuts across the square corners at the temples and is full around the jaw. The best style for a long face also rounds off the corners at the temples and is short. For a triangular face, a narrow chin should be filled out with chin-length hair, while a wide chin may be minimized with wide bangs.
Hair is one medium where you can create beautiful results using cuts, colors, textures, braids, crimps, curls, hair extentions, perms, waves, weaving, bonding and more.
Nail art. Are you addicted to nail polish, nail decals, fake nails and all things that glitter? This century is definately known for the artistically created and uniquely decorated nails that boast sequins, polish, rhinestones and a whole lot more. They have hundreds of designs to choose from, like leopard prints, camouflage prints and rhinestone berries and hearts for the true dashing diva in you. If someone can put the Lord’s Prayer on a penny then I’m sure its available as nail art.
