Motherhood lesson: #2 in a series

I had a massage tonight with one of my all-time favorite massage therapists on the planet. Everytime I work with her, something cool happens.

I went to see her because I’d been feeling a lot of residual stress and really wanted to get grounded solidly with the bean.

Tonight’s cool moment happend late in the massage, as I was lying on my back, and she started working on my left arm. I had this sudden awareness that the loosening up of my muscles was allowing the quality of Wisdom to seep into my arm, travel up through the muscles and vessels to my core. Wisdom. Making the right decisions thanks to the benefit of life experience.

Next she worked on my right arm. Same thing – a weird disolving of the tension, and this time the energy that was released was the quality of Courage. Courage to step up and do what’s right, mama bear style.

I was so impressed by the clarity of awareness here. So many times I get some kind of kinesthetic data and then it shifts or changes and by the end you’re like ‘did that really happen?’ So I tried to downplay my excitement to myself, as I didn’t want to jinx it!

Then, she worked on my right leg. At this point, the energy switched again; this time to initiation and protection – new ways of interfacing with the external world, for sure. And finally, before she even started working on my left leg, I heard the word, “grace.”

When the massage was over, she let me lie there for a while, and I felt these four energies- Wisdom, Courage, Initiation and Grace carbourate in my body. At first I thought they might be for the bean, but then- duh – nope those are mine.
