Complete Release I had already received my first Esalen Massage several nights before in the embracing heat and dimly lit warmth of the newly constructed baths located on the side of the mountains of Big Sur. During that first massage, the Ocean resounded in my ears, and although I hadn't surfed for over a month, I could feel myself in tune with the ocean below. Even under the novice hands of the practitioner, I could feel the beginning of release and my own increased awareness of self mixed with a newly awakening receptivity to touch. The massage that truly opened my heart and spirit would happen several days later, after really getting a feel for Esalen and the Esalen community. Robert is a longtime Esalen Massage practitioner, but I didn't know that at the time. I only knew that I was going to lie on the table and let myself feel what pleasures and awakenings would come. The hands that crossed over my body created a sense of comfort I had seldom felt before. I remember thinking to myelf, "do what you will, I don't care." I was awakening to my body in a way I never had. I realized that it did not matter who was in control, and what was going to happen. I knew I was safe and that the only thing that mattered was to release my Self to the experience and allow my body to feel its sensuality without fear or prejudice. The energy and love that entered my body that day came from without and from within. It is this energy I wish to put into every massage I give, opening myself and my energy so that it can find the path toward awakening for the complete person beneath my hands that has put their trust and faith in my skills and intuition..
