Most traditions have goddesses and gods known for their healing skill and power. Research to learn which ones are the most compatible with your energy. During your meditation, request that they join you and guide you during the massage. Placing statues, icons, stones, crystals, elements and other sacred objects around the room can invite the energy they represent to be present and to assist. As you do massage consciously, your skill in stepping aside from your own agenda and just being present will increase.
Massage gives as much pleasure and healing to the one giving as to the one receiving.
As you pick up tension from the person you are massaging, unless you remain conscious of your own body, you may make several common mistakes that will greatly lessen your own pleasure and that of the receiver. Tension being released by the other person will accumulate in your hands and arms, and you will tighten up your breathing in response unless you remind yourself to consistently breathe down into your belly, ground and send the tension down into the earth. Pace yourself and go slow. If you pick up tension from the other person, you will tend to massage faster and faster. Slow down and breathe.
