Raindrop therapy – a much needed attitude adjustment
I went to see L – mistress of massage – and told her I needed an attitude adjustment – I’ve been melancholy when I should be walking on sunshine – she said she had just the thing for me.
First she ran her hands up and down my back, strongly applying pressure to my spine, my hips, down the backs of my legs, deeply kneading the soles of my feet and then back up the sides, toussling my hair and down again from my shoulders to my fingertips.
Oh, the power of touch – it carries such magical healing qualities.
Then she said she had something special for me and she poured warm oil onto my back in small tiny drops – she called it rain drop therapy – her hands whooshed the oil around after each application feathering it in broad strokes from my spine outward to my sides and down my hips.
I could hear the rain outside just beginning to fall.
When I turned around, through my closed eyelids the light took on a different hue.
She whispered take a deep breath, Rachel, and when I did she rubbed my tummy and swam her hands up along my breast bone and down along my hip bones and released a lot of what was being held there – all those residual emotions that have been bubbling up over the last few days – overtaking me when I least expected – all of it melted away.
I saw B on the way out, and she said, “You look pretty relaxed for someone who is about to have a big party tomorrow night.”
Smile.
