"You make this look so easy" is something I and all the other CBM instructors hear often in the massage continuing education classes we teach: that look of ease is not just because we have had so many years practicing the work, but its also because, I know in my case anyways, I do what is most effective in the moment without any extra thrown in. Enough is happening anyways.
This is so deep. Both poetically and technically. And yet that doesn’t mean we need to work harder to get deeper. And this is such a pervasive notion in our culture, ‘we aren’t working if it isn’t hard.’ And I see my students light up at the potential then go on to make barefoot massage hard again.
