December 1, Day 8 of 10

I am blessed to be able to be a part of this experience. The students have quickly picked up on a full body Swedish style massage in 5 days. They became familiar with a combination of techniques in a pre-made protocol and have memorized and utilized them to give wonderful, relaxing hour long sessions. Days 7 & 8 were the beginning of deep tissue work. Day 7 went into working on the hips and low back, getting into specific points. Day 8 (earlier today) we did the shoulder girdle the same way. Pointing out specific techniques to open the shoulders and allow release. They were all so excited for this work, as so many of us carry deep stuff in the shoulders.
Tomorrow we will do some thai table work and if there is time spend an hour or so on some basic reflexology. Friday, our last day will be an opportunity for them to do a clinic, working on people outside of the class. New bodies! These people will mostly be workers around Inanitah, local men and women who do a lot of the construction and chores working for Paul and Gaia. At the end of that day, we will have a closing circle and "graduation" where they'll get certificates for the course and we can eat chocolate! :)
Justin is taking interviews with some of the students, which we will post either here or a link to it from here so you can see what they have to say about their experience.
Waves of gratitude coming your way...
