escort diary® of Mishka Massage: When you finally let go
I can usually tell when it happens.
The breath changes first.
Then the muscles.
The forehead softens.
The shoulders become heavier against the table.
The hands that were initially resting quite deliberately begin to relax.
And eventually there is that beautiful moment when the body seems to say:
Okay. I trust you.
That's my favourite part.
Because relaxation isn't something I can force.
I can't tell your body to let go and expect it to happen.
Instead, I create the environment for it.
Warmth.
Rhythm.
Slow flowing movements.
A quiet room.
No pressure to perform.
No expectation that you need to be anywhere else.
And gradually, the body begins to do what it already knows how to do.
Let go.
Sometimes people arrive telling me they haven't been able to properly switch off for weeks.
Then, somewhere in the middle of the session, they realise they've completely lost track of time.
That's when I know we've arrived somewhere special.
