I finally had time the other day to reflect back on what I have learned in my school of massage therapy.
You know going to school for massage therapy isn’t for the faint at heart or a person with thin skin, nor a person that is very self-conscious with their body.
Oh sure we are taught to be in our being. Meaning one with the client and respect, honesty and companion. But what about the people that have had years of negative conditioning? What about poor older generation that look at their body and see years of neglect while their fellow students in the age range of 19 -25 have toned young bodies.
I’m here to tell you humility is a great teacher. The first week we arrived on campus we had to dress down to our birthday suits. Class size of 60. Oh yea we where covered by a sheet. LOL!! A twin sheet. Like asking me to hide behind a maple leaf.
I’m 6 foot 2 and 240 pounds. I use a full sheet for a washcloth. Sadly to say a handful of young ladies now know what a 47 year olds mans butt looks like.
But I kept going back, breaking down more and more barriers. Belly massages, Upper Breast tissue massage. Inner thigh massages. And the list goes on.
As I progressed through all these challenges I noticed I wasn’t alone. Almost every one of the students had some or all of the same fears I had. I started to remember things I was told in my life. Like “when your happy with who you are. You feel better and look better.”
Yes I am happy with who I am. I’m proud of what I have done in my life and darn it,I look great. Since then my massages have gotten better and I feel so much better.
Most of my life I never saw anyone for how they looked, I only saw their spirit. We are all angels of God. But I never realized others can see that in me..
I am so grateful for what I have learned and glad I have gotten to experience this.
Peace and Love to all you wonderfully beautiful souls out their..
Love of the Light
