Day 15: First massage

I am taking a 3 day Lomi class focused on teaching pieces of Lomilomi, an ancient Hawaiian form of massage that traditionally involves spiritual layers of prayer, aloha, intention and can be experienced on several levels. My interest in the Hawaiian traditions and the layers of healing energies that lead me to the class. One thing naturally led to another and it was time to give it a try. It didn’t really occur to me that I was in a class about massage until I was actually giving a massage. Yes that is a bit elemental and it was presented with a few steps of hula. It was totally cool to step so far out of my daily realm.
