If you find that you are efforting through a massage, then it´s time for a shift in your approach. Massage can be your joy, your work, your therapy and your spiritual practice. In guiding others to open to their potential, we are asked to look at our own versatility in mood, style of touch, movement patterns, beliefs and expectations. We will give attention to the tactile aspects of communication, exploring our depths through the metaphor of touch. Through simple experiments we come to a quiet mind where we can better listen to the needs of others as well as ourselves.

What you gain in this class:

• More ability to read bodies
• More efficiency in your bodywork
• Working with the person not just parts
• More flexibility/ability to adjust to client’s needs
• Valuable insight into how the organism functions
• Use of movement and gravity in your work and for self and client
• Renewed enthusiasm for your work
• Lead client in somatic self discovery to inspire self-help at home
• Use of SenseAbility in releasing Diaphragms
• Self care
