Well, today I finally got to pay back one of the MFR sessions I had. I don’t know why I was nervous, but I was. Yet, the comments were surprising.
Now, I have worked on this person before. He is one of those therapists that does actually get massage regularly, and goes around to different people for that. There was appoint that he had been coming to me, but that ended when I started working nights three years ago.
He had told me of all the things he had done, but it did not feel real until I went to his studio and saw the 35 odd certificates on his wall. He had several MFR certificates and Lomi Lomi, and more. Wow. This guy really has been around and has had an abundance of training.
So, in a way, this made me nervous. And although I have worked on him before, it was like seeing him in a new light and wondering why he would want me to work on him. Thankfully, I stopped this before he got there. I knew I had to have faith in my work, and I let everything else go.
Well, I worked on him for about 95 minutes, doing regular stuff along with a few new moves that I had not done on him previously. When he finally came out, he admitted to having trouble focusing and getting up off the table. He said that it relaxed him so much that he just couldn’t move. Wow.
Next, he wanted to see a couple of the moves I did as he had never seen them before, and he thought they worked really well. The moves that he wanted to see came from Esalen, and he liked them. Cool.
I have talked in the journal about having faith, faith in one’s self and an faith in spirit. One of my biggest issues has always been believing enough in myself and in my work. I have never been one to toot my own horn (which is part of the reason I suck at advertising), but listening to this 30 year veteran and excellent therapist, I guess I do good work.
I know. Above all, have faith in yourself. Lesson learned, mostly.
