Follow the Beat

"A beat is a moment in the life of a groove." So says legendary jazz artist Wynton Marsalis. And like a brilliant piece of jazz, a romantic massage has its own beat, its own groove, its own life. The giver and the receiver are skin-to-skin, heartbeat-to-heartbeat, soul-to-soul.

The most important skill to cultivate in a romantic massage is the ability to listen. You must listen to each other, seriously and and with full concentration. You must listen carefully to what your partner SAYS, and you must listen intently to what your partner's BODY says. Listen with your ears and with your hands. When you can hear the beat -- softly at first, and then growing stronger -- then you can give an amazing massage.

If you have ever given or received that kind of massage, you already know that "the groove" is a sacred place, a place you can only access by following the beat.

Give the Gift of Romance . . .

I love that Lexus commercial that comes out every Christmas -- 3 new cars with giant bows parked in the driveway. Has that ever happened to you? Me neither.

But even if you can't spring for a new Lexus (or even a new Hyundai), you can still make your significant other the happiest guy or gal on earth. Give him or her a fabulous, sensuous massage.

At Romantic Massage, we can teach you how to set the stage for romance, give you aromatherapy tips, show you some easy massage techniques, and get you ready for the most romantic night of your life.

Your eyes may be the windows to the soul, but in the words of reknowned bodyworkers and musicians alike, your hands know more than your brain ever will. You can learn to let the soothing, loving power of touch create a safe and wondrous place in your relationship. Touch can heal your heart and open your soul.

The Touch of Starlight

When we touch -- when we let our hands follow their own minds and reach across the lonely spaces and really, really touch -- it triggers our amazing brains to release endorphins: a chemical and hormonal melange more powerful than heroin. These microscopic substances, with no more substance than starlight, can literally change our lives in single stroke.

Endorphins block pain, dispel fatigue, dissolve stress and nurture peace and joy. They are safe, all natural, non-addictive and free. They are accessible and available to every human.

We usually think of the healing power of touch when we receive a massage. But the massage therapist, the giver, also receives an amazing rush of endorphins. The therapist eventually learns, either from experience or from natural affinity, that she is not giving a service, but rather sharing an experience, creating a world. A world where touch is the only reality.
