I thought I would share what massage means to me personally as a therapist. How powerful and profound it is in my own life. How Carpe Diem Massage the place I have worked so hard to create is so special to me and how much I receive during each massage session. Life is stressful and hectic. I personally worry to much and I am constantly in my head thinking and overthinking. In the process driving the closest ones to me crazy My mind never shuts off with the worries of daily life.
I often feel overwhelmed by my constant thinking. Things begin to shift for me as I walk down the stone steps leading into my world. I feel calmer and more at peace. When I walk into my massage room my heart rate slows, I feel myself taking a few deep breaths as I center myself for this scared space. I created Carpe Diem to be the space I want to be in. My massage room is the one place I do not overthink in fact its the only place I do not think at all.
I just feel and intuitively work the muscles as I approach them. People often ask "how did you find that? My hands work their magic and my mind is free to escape. I truly go into a mediative trance of sorts. I reach a level of calm that I have not found anywhere else and I have searched for it.
The massage room is my domain, the one place in the world that I never second guess myself. I own that room. It is where I belong and it's where I want to be. I feel the most myself there, peaceful and confidant, I become the person I would like to be all the time. I get a peek into my true self and I like what I see. Another plus while I am massaging, I am disconnected. Meaning no social media, no text messages, no cell phone buzzing at me.
No negative news. I am free to just be. We are so overstimulated these days it is amazing to be disconnected for a bit. I call this living in my "massage bubble" and it's amazing. The real world can wait. I love and respect every person who walks into our space. There is a special place in my heart for every client that has every been on my table. The connection I feel with each and every one is very real. Massage is my art form, as an ex dancer my massage is rhythmic and it flows and it a beautiful thing.
