Massage stuff

percivalI'm not training in Indian Head Massage. The one I got yesterday, from the guy who was going to train me, was ... not as good as I'd hoped. The strokes were nice and effective, but in terms of mood setting and ambiance - nil.
I wasa exhausted, having gotten up at 4.30am to catch the delayed 7.10 (which left at 8.25) from Dublin, after a fitful night's sleep.
He didn't manage to soothe and unwind me.
His touch was good, and I noted some interesting strokes, but the ambiance ... Sample: "Yeah, right, as I said, just imagine you have this white beam of light travelling through you."

I felt no energetic effects at all, and I'm normally pretty good at noticing effects of body work on my energy body. Shiatsu is fantastic, as is Reiki.

Plus, my hair STILL looks like I'm a distant cousin of Snape, even though I've washed it this morning.
*** *** ***
On the plus side, the seminar in Naas was TERRIFIC. The teacher shared years of knowledge with us, pushed us and himself to the respective limit, gave as much as we could absorb.
But most importantly of all, at the start of the workshop, he went to considerable lengths to instill into all of us a "can do" attitude and to anchor us in that feeling.
This is the type of massage I want to do, this is how I want to work and to be taught.

The IRA (you know who I mean) took last week off instead of this without telling anybody, missing deadlines set by my boss in the process.
