So ladies and germans its the kid Nemo to da the Fishman and I am giving you update with school thus far. I believe its been a month in school or what not and we are just about done with our first modality known as Swedish Massage (effleurage, petrissage, friction and tapotament...I might have forgotten something...but lets keep it moving) and should be going into connective tissue.
It has been truly an experience! I mean I have gained so much more than a few techniques but a way into actually helping people be in a state of relaxation which in this day is HARD TO COME BY! But its so much more than what I really expected to get outta this program. I really thought I was just gonna come here learn some stuff, grab my books, go home and get ready to take this License test whenever they tell me its coming up!
I have been learning about myself and just understanding what I want outta life. Learning that massage is very much so a relationship in essence. There needs to be trust, understanding, comfort and so much more. Also, getting my weight up for Physical Therapy school we are learning how to find muscles on the body or should I say Palpate muscles and learning just another technique of rehabilitation in some senses. Massage Therapy is actually teaching me how to become present with client and present with my thoughts and giving me a sense of confidence in the way I communicate! Its going through things such as listening and working towards making sessions abou the client and not ALL about you! It is not easy trust me, especially, when working with someone you may know!
But yes, school has been a blast and I have been realizing that there are actually caring, loving and unselfish people...(could you believe that??!?!) The only thing is that it does build a semi false reality because everyone (at least in my class) is so loving and caring and wondering about how your doing and whats going on with your life but that is not always the real world ya know lol! But thats fine tho I do appreciate it! Its just not what I am use to! So much hate and hurt in the world sometimes to massage someone is like a moment to spread positive energy and vibes from ones self to another!
Have I massaged any dudes!?!? yea, I have its really not that deep! It just takes another level of maturity which being that we are in this "no homo" stage in ones life can be hard to deal with! But as you grow older you really wont care about trivial stuff like that anymore and you will probably think to yourself dang I should have been doing this stuff since I was younger when I first had back, shoulder, neck problems. Do you have to be massage by a guy?!! Nope! Is your preference your preference?!?!? Yea, so if you want a woman to work with you then by all means do that! and the same thing for the ladies if you do not want a guy working with you then thats understood as well who knows what your life has been like prior to this massage! but basically growth has been occurring! And I am not judging just going through some thoughts of the average mind!
But yea, school is great its good going through something and love it! A lot of people just do things just to do it! Which isnt always the best thing for them! So being in this school is just showing me that me working with people is what I love and like to do!
Communication is essential to the soul and Massage is a way to communicate with the cells and relieve someone of the long stresses of the average persons life and soothe their minds and rejuvenate and revitalize their well being! I know, might seem extra to you but it makes sense to me! Alright homies im out!
