This man, in his 30s, came in to try a massage. It was his first time, and he carried with him the usual initial nervousness, along with an anxiety he lived with constantly.
We talked a little before starting, and that's when he began to relax. According to him, his mind was always working, never quite able to switch off. By the time he lay down for the massage, he was already calmer, even though the anxiety was still there.At the end, I asked if he had enjoyed it and, more importantly, whether he had managed to relax and quiet his thoughts. With a smile from ear to ear, he said yes, visibly surprised by it.
He was at peace. He had managed, even if just for a moment, to still the constant whirl of thoughts.
It's remarkable how many people still don't know the power that the touch of a massage can have. I always feel glad to witness this kind of shift in the people who come to me, and to see the calm they carry with them as they leave, after everything they felt during the session.
Body and mind are deeply connected. When anxiety doesn't let up, touch and conscious breathing can help settle the nervous system and bring, even if only for a while, some quiet to the mind.
