What we learned first at massage school, and what we kept on being given opportunities to learn, was how to touch. Fully present in the moment, without judgment, a contact that is complete. Just the touch. Later we learned to maintain that contact as it developed into movement. But so much of the work is about the quality of the touch.
This is true in life as well. We have opportunities to touch in a meaningful way so many times every day. Sometimes it is a hand on the shoulder, sometimes a smile, sometimes a word or two. Fully present, in the moment, without judgment.
Touching and being touched.
Thank you to all my teachers.
