Receiving Massage
Receiving a massage can be profoundly relaxing and restorative; promoting a deeper breath whilst quieting the mind and calming the nervous system. In a time where there is much disconnection and loneliness, massage and mindful touch helps to increase self-awareness and sensitively responds to our human need to be held. A massage offers a quiet space, an inner sanctuary, a pause from the demands and hectic pace of modern day life.
“Touch is a reciprocal action, a gesture of exchange with the world. To make an impression is also to receive one, and the soles of our feet, shaped by the surfaces they press upon, are landscapes themselves with their own worn channels and roving lines.”
Robert Macfarlane, The Old Ways: A Journey on Foot.
