lies a pathway to the spirit.”
Josh Richmond
an
effortless journey
of body relaxation,
emotional well-being,
and a
calm mind,
into the deeper levels of your own self.
Mystical
Massage is my personal synthesis of many healing touch techniques
I
have explored for over two decades.
Why
"Mystical"?
It is based on the Yoga understanding that the
body is the "temple of the spirit."
Through nurturing, pleasurable
touch, you will be honoured and connected to your entire body, heart, and soul.
You can expect to feel more alive, attuned, and at-one with your whole self. I
have a very peaceful room in my home overlooking Stanley Park, which is dedicated
to yoga, meditation, and healing touch.
Mystical
Massage uses a blend of soothing Esalan oil massage, gentle rocking and
stretching of your limbs and spine, breathing awareness, and polarity/chakra energy
balancing, which is customized for your individual preferences.
Any healing
touch involves a certain amount of intimate contact.
You
can decide the degree of intimacy that is most comforting for you.
For
example, you may undress as much (or as little) as you wish. So that you feel
warm and secure, I can cover (if you wish) all of you except the areas I am currently
massaging.
We’ll take time to discuss your needs and boundaries before each session and for feedback at the end. Mystical Massage is intended to be nurturing and relaxing, and is not overtly erotic. Yet emotional or erotic feelings can occur with touching any part of the body, so I encourage you to simply breathe through and accept whatever feelings, emotions or sensations you experience. This is a time for deepening your relationship with your whole self.
Optional variations: [no extra charge]
Yogassage
For those wishing more structural
alignment, to improve posture and help optimize the body's relationship
with gravity. I am training in a slow, gentle form of deep-tissue
massage which can be incorporated into the Mystical
Massage. I believe pain is counter-productive, and will ask you to give
me ongoing feedback when we are working deeper, so that the experience is one
of satisfying deep release, and not discomfort.
For Yoga enthusiasts,
some of your massage can be done while you maintain any of your favourite asanas.
For example, being massaged in Child’s Pose can give an amazing release to spinal
muscles. Similarly, massaging the front torso or thighs during backbends can create
a wonderful opening.
Tantrassage
For those who wish to explore
the connection between erotic and spiritual energies, I offer the option of integrating
as much of the pelvic region as you wish, which
circulates energy through all the chakras from the floor of the pelvis
to the crown of the head. I have decades
of experience exploring
the ancient Tantra tradition, which views erotic energy as a gateway to heightened
spiritual awareness. Please click here for more
details.
Whichever
options of Mystical Massage you choose, you can be
assured of being touched only in ways that honour the wishes and boundaries you
express.
I want you
to feel safe and secure and taken-care-of at all times.
