Well, I started out last Saturday signed up for six slots at the school. I needed Five bodies to complete my clinical requirements. I got three. The interesting thing was that the last one was my massage teacher.
It started with my showing up on time and finding that my first two slots were empty. So, rather than go home, I worked the desk and answered the phones for that time. I also got to go through the files and make sure I had the addresses of all the people I worked on. When I finally do get a license, I'm going to mail everyone I worked on to let them know that I am available and licensed.
When the time came I did my two massages, and went back to the desk. I had someone call in asking for available times, but there were none unless I cancelled my last one with my teacher. I know that this would have been another paying customer for the center, but my teacher was doing five bodies that day, and was really drug out. So, I told this person that we had nothing available.
When I worked on my teacher, I did a momentary scan and found lots of trouble spots. My comment was “lady, it looks like you could use some bodywork.”
It took me a moment to get over the expected stigma of "I'm working on the teacher". I just tapped into the energies, and did a massage, the same as I had done twice that day. At one point she mentioned a sore spot in her foot. I worked around it then moved to the other leg. After a bit, she told me that this foot hurt in a different place. I stopped for a moment, closed my eyes and saw myself doing a move. I then did this move which was working the inside thigh from the ankle. I found out later that she had been told that her problem was due to something in the area that I had worked. Neat.
I finished the massage and did a couple minutes of Reiki. I then woke her up so she get up and dressed.
What prompted this massage was my mentioning several weeks ago that I thought it would be interesting for her to get a massage from each of the students. She initially got one from each of us to see if we were safe enough to let loose on the general public. I thought it would be interesting for her to see how we changed / improved after 40 or 50 bodies. She was not real hot on the idea, but scheduled with me anyway.
When she came out, she told me that she was very impressed. She said that I had improved a thousand percent. She had a lot of good comments. She also had a couple things I need to work on. She told me that this had actually been a very good idea. Neat.
What was good about this was the feedback, because of the comparison between the first massage and this one. It let me hear how far I had come. This was very nice. It gave me a feeling of accomplishment. It also told that I am still improving, something I hope I continue to do.
