Esalen Massage
The effects of this intentional touch, loosely categorized as "wellness/stress management massage", range widely. For some, it brings a renewed sense of health and vigor, others may regain a sense of safety with regard to touch. Often old tension patterns break free and old emotions are released. It signals a return to one's nature, a switch from everyday consciousness into a calmer, more colorful space less inhabited by the constraints of time and place. An out-of-ordinary reality.

Esalen Massage is somewhat similar to Swedish in it's strokes, but the purpose is to use touch in a way that focuses on a deeper mind-body-emotional reconnection.   The strokes are long gentle and fluid creating titillating sensations.  These sensations will elevate your sense of freedom, space and openness to all the possibilities of healing your body is capable of.  It is an awesome experience and will lighten your whole being.
