Breathe deep. Till the end. Make it loud. Enjoy the fun.
I noticed in most of my massage clients that their breathing is shallow. Short. Shy. Almost inexistent.
So I incorporate deep breathing into the session.
How does each set of deep breaths help?
1st set, at the very beginning of the massage. It brings the mind where the body is… in a serene place where the receiver can relax while it is being taken care of => central nervous system receives the message that all is safe. Muscles relax.
I am allowed to enter and guide this somatic experience.
2nd set.
I ask the receiver to think about what they want to let go of. I invite them to release that which no longer serves with strong sighs for as long as they need to.
Central nervous system receives the message of cleaning and makes space for new behaviour.
3rd set
I ask the receiver to think about whatever they want more in their life. I invite them to inhale the energy of that as deep as possible. Fill up their lungs, fill up the belly, fill up their head and legs and toes and arms till the tip of their fingers. Fill up every cell of their body with the energy of that which they want more in their life.
It works like a charm, as it creates the idea that good things happen to those who ask for them.
Central nervous system starts trusting the future.
4th set
At the end of the session I invite them to take a deep soothing breath, like a hug to themselves. Because they deserve it.
They deserve it every day, my practice is just a reminder.
The mind is fresh, spacious, creative. The receiver is extremely open to self kindness and therefore to others.
What a wonderful life again!
Thank you for improving my massage sessions with the willingness to breathe deep. I couldn’t have done it without you.
Everyone leaves happy, smiling serene and walking on clouds.
In the end, remember to enjoy deep conscious breathing as often as possible. It is a powerful tool for supporting and improving your mental and physical health.
