Esalen Massage Christopher S. Hewitt, M.A. Certified Esalen Massage Practitioner ~ Your Esalen Massage Session ~ A regular session is one hour and fifteen minutes. Prior to the massage, your massage practitioner will consult with you in order to discuss your body (injuries, chronic pain, etc.) and any particular needs you might have, as well as inquire about psychological or emotional issues that might be importnat to be aware of.  Traditionally, Esalen Massage was performed completely nude. Nowadays, draping is used in accordance with California Law and to protect the sensitivity of the client. If you wish, you may wear bikini bottoms or briefs if you feel more comfortable.  After your consultation, you will be asked to lie face down or face up on the table and your practitioner will drape you with either sheets or towels in a comfortable manner. Breathe freely and deeply, but try not to control your breathe. Let yourself relax and enjoy quiet environment and the gentle touch of your massage. It is important to understand that the essence of Esalen Massage tends to awaken a deep sense of sensuality in the recipient. This is not to be confused with sexuality. An Esalen Massage is not a sexual massage. When the energy is right, the recipient should feel a strong sense of his or her own sensuality, a complete sense of oneness with his or her body that encourages a healthy acceptance of self.  It is also important to note that the longer a massage, the more chances a recipient has of encountering strong emotional issues. It is important to be aware of this so that you can better process such issues if and when they arise. Your massage practitioner should be aware of this, and most times will continue the massage and allow you to process your feelings. Try to relax and breathe through any emotional outbursts, knowing you are in kind, loving hands, and in a secure place.  If you feel your emotional levels are too high, please inform your massage practitioner and stop the massage immediately. You might just need a short break to wipe your eyes and get a drink, or to end the massage completely. In either case, please communicate your feelings to the massage practitioner, in as much or little detail as you feel necessary. An open line of communication is important, and by letting your massage practitioner know what you are feeling, he or she will best know how to support you. All things shared between a recipient and massage practitioner are 100% confidential. (EMBA Ethical Standards) Much like yoga, the intention you, as a recipient, bring to the massage table, is very important to your own level of enjoyment. An open and understanding frame of mind will help increase the benefits of your massage in mind, body and spirit.  Namaste Huey ~ Esalen Massage: Fees & Locations~    |  ~ What is Esalen Massage? ~ Contact Pacific-Trades: Pacific-Trades 1-3-5 Mimomi, Chiba Fax. 0474746897 info@pacific-trades.org Pacific-Trades | esalen massage | language learning  |  english editing | tours & retreats  | massage tables  | yoga  |  links  |  events Home  |  エサレン ボディワーク  | 言語学習  |  翻訳  |  リトリート  | マッサージ・テーブル  |  ヨガ  |  リンク   |  イベント Copyright ｩ 2003, Ayaka Saito The Artwork used as the background in this website is the sole property of Ayaka Saito.  Any reproduction or use of any part of this work without the written permission of the author is prohibited.
