A fundamental class for integrating all that we learn from personal experience and CE classes as massage therapists into a cohesive model utilizing the Elements. Using the core elements of Fire, Water, Air and Earth students will be taught to organize a better flow and enhance the massage experience. A deep dive into the underlying principles and frameworks that support a successful career and practice as a LMBT.
Philosophy of Massage offers a framework for a more intuitive way of working. Integrate all that you’ve learned on a foundational model that feels good for you and the client. In our profession with all our required CEs we can become overloaded with techniques and methods and massage styles with little time/space to reflect and piece together. Problem of lack of Flow during massage sessions, which is markedly different than routine.
The Power of Initiation-What is missing from the West, what is missing from our Education and upbringing-to bring us into Full Alignment of who we are. In working with the elements in a personal way, we “initiate” a relationship with them which we can deepen over time. Another element missing from Western life, especially in adult and professional areas, is Play. We will be doing a lot of exercises of “adult play” to get in touch with our own inner spirit to better access these foundational energies.
In this class, you will learn how to:
- Describe and Contrast the Philosophies of the Elemental Systems of China, Greece, Tibet, and Japan
- Perform movement and breathing exercises to activate and harmonize with Elemental Energies
- Analyze Clients through the lenses of Elemental theories to create more effective treatment plans and a balanced approach
- Discuss how these Elemental Archetypes show up in your life, and reflect on which energies are your strength / growth areas
- Demonstrate an application of elemental bodywork through trades
