Most of this is a brainstorm as I'm in the process of revisions, having my computer recently turning up missing:(
Esalen massage takes all aspects of the human self into consideration during session, including: skin, bone, muscle, tissue, mind, spirit and overall consciousness. It is our goal as Esalen practicioners to guide all of your self into a meditative state of relaxation through our own intuitions, guides through being in touch with spirit, and with our skill of touch.
No two Esalen sessions are the same. Esalen is not methodical and its philosophy is against planning of the session. It teaches us whenever we find ourselves planning what comes next, to take a step back, make contact again with the body as we pull ourselves back into finding and guiding our intuitions toward your needs, individually. You will not find in my studio anything which you may be accostumed to: Five minutes one arm, five minutes other... switch switch stretch stretch pull, five strokes, eight strokes, ten strokes... okay time's up!
Not at all, which is why I believe people are so satisfied with my philosophy of practice.
Esalen refers to the receivers of the session as "partners" rather than "clients". A partner provides feedback, is open through communication, and learns to trust the flow of massage, which in-turn allows the practicing person to grow with skill and practice of technique, to find and follow the means of their own intuition, and to learn through communication of their reciever before, during and always after the session. This individual focus and open means of communication will become increasingly beneficial, even invaluable as the relationship grows between both receiver and giver of the session, as "Partners" in Esalen Massage.
