I always ask my clients what music they would like to listen to during their sessions.
Often they don’t have any preference, so I’ll play a Spotify soundtrack based on my previous week’s choices.
Since I can’t hear the music unless it’s really loud- much too loud for the relaxation of my clients- I rely on the lyrics app to show me that the music is indeed playing and filling the space with beautiful rhythm and words.
Sometimes I find myself dancing, my bare feet picking up the vibrations from the wood floor and the speaker and sometimes I’ll catch the words and almost gasp as the beauty and relevance hits home.
I’ll memorize the name of the song, holding it in my heart until the session is finished and then, I’ll send the link to those that I just know would love to hear that song..or perhaps they need to hear it.
One such song was “Known and Loved” https://open.spotify.com/track/1NLCMB3DAPXos7OYvNzrTf
I needed to hear this song…actually needed to read the lyrics over and over.
“Feels like you have lost yourself again
Sit in silence with a friend
when you are fully known and loved”
That is why my patio is so important to me. It’s where I go to sit in silence and to write and to read but it’s also where those that know me best, come to find me.
It’s where I get to fully know and be known and to give and receive love in deeper ways than I ever imagined from so many fabulously flawed, perfectly imperfect people but it’s also where I come to know myself to see myself as fully loved and known by the Creator, just the way I am-also perfectly imperfect and fabulously flawed just like my friends and clients are.
A client wrote a review on Google a couple of days ago that captured the essence of what I hope people feel.
“An amazing environment …warm and sincere welcome…leave your stresses..healing touch…looking forward to coming back”
i read this with tears in my eyes,a smile on my face and an ache in my heart that comes from feeling fully known and loved.
My intention is always to create such a space where people can sit in silence and be heard, where they can talk and listen, where they feel touch not only physically but spiritually,as well and where they feel as if I’m more than just their massage therapist but I’m also someone that truly cares and hopes that each person lives s life in which they are fully known and loved.
I’ll keep playing the music,reading the lyrics through blurry, teary eyes and welcoming the chances to know and love.
