The Touch Becomes The Teacher
The world of Conscious Sensual Massage has so many possibilities for us.
In a few weeks we have a series of massage workshops coming up in Joburg and Cape Town.
I was thinking about these experiences, and what they are, what they have for us.
There’s actually some important stuff here.
The first thing is that learning, and experiencing these practices, is a journey into ourselves.
Touch is an incredible guide to our inner selves as it has no filters, like the mind does.
It has no explanation, no discussion, no analysis.
It simply is.
The Massage becomes a teacher.
Through touch, we learn about what’s beneath the touch, what’s the intention we bring.
We learn where we withhold ourselves, we learn when we’re not present.
We learn about how we touch, how we’re received, perceived.
Through touching in this way we learn about our own bodies, where we hold tension and tightness, we learn how we move.
We learn, oh do we learn, about intimacy, how intimate we actually are, how much we can give, how much we can receive, how open we are.
We learn about our hearts, we learn about love.
We learn about beauty, the body as an expression of the sacred.
We learn about the story the body holds, the life beneath our skin.
We learn about gratitude, the opportunity to touch, to share in this way.
We learn about tears, we learn about laughter.
We learn about feelings, ours and another’s.
We learn about healing.
We learn about the conversation between our skins, the conversation that has no words, yet has so much truth.
We learn that the body doesn’t lie, ours and another’s.
And we learn, oh, do we learn, about pleasure.
How deep, how wide, how vast, that can be.
We learn about sensation, feelings, emotions, energy and more.
Which I’ll share with you next time…
I invite you…
