All right. And now, find yourself in a relaxed, comfortable position, perhaps in a lounge chair or bed, some place where you can settle back entirely and relax [inaud] and take a few deep breaths, [exhale?]. With your eyes closed just roll your eyes up towards the top of your head until you feel that eyestrain. You let go of your eyes and forget about your breathing, just allow yourself to relax. Now I'd like you to imagine being at some beautiful, tropical seaside kind of resort, a place where you've gone for total rejuvenation. A spa - a place that's taking care of all of your needs, so you can just completely give yourself over to relaxing, rejuvenating, pampering yourself. In fact now, you're about to get a massage, not just any massage, but one right out by the shore in a sort of covered verandah. You'll be able to hear the ocean and the massage therapist will use not only hot oils, but also some very special techniques that really bring about healing on a very deep level. So. Now. Imagine that you're lying there on a massage table. It's one of those incredible times when [the warmth of the?] the air, the warmth of the sun, [inaud] the ideal temperature where you can feel totally relaxed and comfortable just in a swimsuit, or nothing at all, if you prefer. And you're lying on the massage table just a towel over you [inaud] soft breezes blow, allowing you to relax even more, because whatever work there is is perfectly balanced because soft tropical breezes. And as you lie there your massage therapist enters and begins to rub some warm oil on your hands and then begins to apply that oil and those hands to your shoulders starting very easily but firmly and knowingly to the muscles of your shoulders. And as you feel this delightful sensation and you feel those warm hands knowingly rubbing the [knobs? Knots?] of your shoulders, you feel that relaxation begin to really fill your body because as the initial wave of release of tension flows through you it's almost like a signal goes off in your body, almost like a series of dominoes that for every muscle in your body [inaud] just go ahead and start relaxing now, it's time, and eventually you'll give yourself over entirely, you will surrender fully to all of these feelings, and you might even find yourself drifting so that you might not even remember the passage of time. As your massage therapist moves down your shoulders, and down your upper arms, massaging your triceps and biceps of your arms, perhaps take one arm at a time in both hands working one arm, and as you work down your forearms, and then your wrists, and hand, and linger a while on the hand, massaging all over on the muscles between the bones, [inaud] use accupressure and reflexology points there to release tensions throughout the whole body to bring healing throughout the whole body. Now I wonder if you can imagine what it would be like if this person that now only knew about musculature and massage therapy exquisitely well, but also had in their hands an energy feeling that some people might refer to as Reiki and universal energy, but it's an energy that heals like therapeutic touch and laying on of hands that just by having their hands on you, not only are they bringing warmth and relaxation of the muscles, but they're bringing a healing energy now to every cell in your body, as they put their hands on your hands, and they put their hands on your shoulders, as they lay their hands along your spine, vertebrae by vertebrae releasing all of the muscles that are there, they're also bringing this healing energy, and you might imagine it as a kind of light that might be a particular color that you find to be healing, that's healing and warming for you. Now I don't know if that would be white light, or a purple light, a green light, but you can just let go and give over to the feeling of being healed now so that every muscle in your body is being rejuvenated , being restored to full vitality and youthfulness, that every cell in your body right now is truly being healed, and then your [the] massage therapist begins on your upper shoulder of your other arm and massages down upper arm, biceps and triceps of this arm now, and down your elbow[s] and your forearm and now to your wrist and your hand and your fingers and again, massaging all over your muscles in the places between your bones, and knowingly pressing the reflexology points that brings that healing to all other parts of your body. It's an amazing thing that [all? On?] the hands and feet of every human being has all the points that an acupuncturist might use to bring healing to other parts of the body. [But? That?] you can feel that same kind of release and healing being brought to your body [inaud] the use of touch and pressure and rubbing. And as the massage therapist now returns to your back and releases all the muscles along the back, the large muscles might find that [inaud] massage very deeply - or not depending on what's just right for you. But every muscle in your back releases now an is warmed with this warm oil that almost feels as if the warm oil is penetrating the inside of your body, almost as if your body's being lubricated [inaud- and coated?] from the inside. Now I wonder what that would feel like to have the skin boundaries of your body coated with this warm healing oil. And then the massage therapist works down to your hips in a very appropriate, positive way, works down to your buttocks muscles, the maximus gluteus and then down to your thighs relaxing all the muscles there, and the muscles of your calves, feel that exquisite pain, that tension you feel at first, and then the release and it feels more and more comfortable with every stroke and rub, and just like with the hands, they massage down to your ankles and through your feet, [inaud] massage all the muscles that are there, and at the same time, release all those special points that have connections, meridians through every part of your body now. [inaud] your heart, your lungs, your spleen your gallbladder, kidneys, your liver, stomach, your intestines, your colon, glandular system, pituitary, pineal, every single part of your body is being stimulated at the same time as it's being totally relaxed and comforted. And you can just let go now because you know you're in thoroughly safe, sure hands. And you can let go entirely. You might want to take a deep breath as you relax deeply now, you might notice the exquisite feelings of release of tension throughout your body. Now. A friend of mine once told me that at a special clinic for healing in a very ayurvedic way they did a massage that entailed pouring warm oil very gently over the forehead, so that if you were to imagine that you're lying on your back, face up, and that massage therapist took a small [inaud] warmed oil just the right temperature maybe a degree or two just above your skin temperature so it feels just slightly warm but warm and just gently begins to pour that oil right in the middle of your forehead, and you feel it running down the sides of your head and the top of your head and you feel it drifting and raining and dripping down the sides of your whole head and you just feel your whole head relax[ing] now and your whole head has been coated with this warm incredible oil, massage therapist with you lying on your back very gently, very safely, gently touches the places on your head, perhaps around your temples and the back o f your head where your neck meets your head where you release the tension, [would?] just let it all go, it might even feel like [the?] melting [inaud] deliciously melting, let go and you almost feel as if you are becoming like that oil, the pool running down, no tension at all, becoming a pool of warm oil. And you know the person getting a massage like this is totally able to let go so completely that they drift down, to a place beyond which they've experienced before, letting go so deeply, don't even remember the passage of time. Then you can take some time now, all the time in the world, in [tournament?] and just drift. And when it's appropriate, when you're ready, you can begin to wake up now. Going back, fully refreshed and vitalized, all the way back, gently returning to full waking consciousness, little by little until you're fully, widely awake, coming [all?] the way back, returning - as if you've been on a vacation that was just the best thing you
