In Your Hands

In your hands I trust my body
The vehicle that carries my soul
I trust you from my heart
I know, you won't let me down

I have come to you in pain,
I have come to you in sorrow,
I have come to you full of hope,
that my body will let go
guided by your hands,
what my mind or heart holds back

I believe in magic, ..... oh yes,
I have seen it happen in your hands

I honor your hands,
sacred vessel of healing, peace, and wellbeing
Where compassion and knowledge blend
in giving

In your hands I have cried,
contracted..., relaxed..., and laughed,
In your hands I have found myself in my body,
In your hands my emotions and worries
found a way out, freeing me of pain and repression



Your hands touch my body and the reaction starts:

Connective tissue moving muscles,
tendons finding relief,
bones going back to their places,
ligaments resting in between.

Blood running full of energy through my circulatory system
reaching powerfully the smallest cell in my body,
Breathing In ........ Breathing Out,
with intention or effortless
Lalaland .... where miracles happen
I see colors! images! I go places I didn't know about.

Breathing ... in harmony ,
connected with my body,
feeling my emotions,
letting go, bringing in good things.

All of this goes on while you allow,
the power of your intention
to flow through your hands,
giving with mastery and precision
a perfect massage

Your hands talk the ancient language of the world,
the language of the heart
and express with the art of compassion

May your hands always be you
