When one goes beyond the boundary of technique, then they may enter into a realm where the act of delivering a well designed massage is a living performance art. The therapist synthesizes all the elements of evaluation, technique, and method into an intuitive healing dance. Entering this state is similar to a meditation and when done properly evokes a quality of qi gong, yoga and Tai ji. It's like a modern day shaman who guides us on a journey towards greater awareness, sensation and insight. We discover the essence of life, expressed in human form.
Hands express much that is unavailable in the realm of word, image or sound.
Touch reaches us in ways uniquely profound. Properly focused, touch brings insight, balance, growth and healing. There are unique states of awareness and consciousness which are attainable in a masterfully conducted massage performance. These states are as varied as the lives of the participants. The medium for this art is the body.
