Client Participation in Massage and Bodywork

Coming soon! 

This is an important subject because without client participation massage therapy cannot work in the long run. The client has to has a desire to heal, has to do stretches, has to eat well and live a better life, have some fun, and enjoy the process. If that is in place, that the healing happens. if not, then the massage was just a bandaid, and the client will run into the same problem sooner or later. 

And that's OK. Maybe we are not ready to move on and are willing to drag our feet and repeatedly get kicked in the okole. Maybe. The school of hard knocks is definitely slow and painful, but if God seems so scary that we are not willing to Trust Him much, then so be it. 

In other words, what is required for true healing is of course, Surrender to God; which translates into change in habits and lifestyle. It can be an ouchy experience when looked at from the point of view of human ego. Why do I have to give up my rotten boyfriend, my hideous job, my habit of eating pizza all night long, my habit of pissing people off by calling them names? But it can be a joyful liberating experience when looked at from the point of view of our Higher Self. Maybe it's ok to get rid of the brute who calls me names, maybe it's ok to spend time looking for a better job, maybe it's ok to go to bed on time, maybe it's ok to be kind to people, maybe .... 

If we are wise, we will move our feet willingly. Nobody is asking for super major change. Just gradual organic change. Just trying our best and trying to go with the Highest possible. We don't have to quit our hideous job, dump the rotten boyfriend, and go vegan today. But we can make steps to make our life better. Make the resume, talk to the guy, eat less, go for a walk. 

We come closer to being True to Who We Are. 

Halelujah baby!
