Testing for tension

Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008 | Uncategorized | No Comments

No need to discuss tension during a massage; a simple test will tell you all you need to know. Press down gently on your partner’s jaw. If her mouth opens easily, she’s relaxed. If not, circle with your fingertips on the back of her neck and across the shoulders.

Then try the tension test again.

The massage gift

Friday, November 14th, 2008 | Uncategorized | 1 Comment

Have you ever considered giving your lover an experience instead of an object during the holiday season? Why not give a massage? It’s easy, even if you’ve never tried it before, and it wont cost you anything. The moment you begin massaging, your partner will understand that no gift could possibly be more personal.

Massage provides both profound relaxation and drugless relief from stress, even pain. Afterward, a delightful physical high will last for hours, even days.

And when your partner remembers that great feeling, you will come to mind.

Where does stress come from?

Monday, November 10th, 2008 | Uncategorized | No Comments

In massage we think of stress as a physical, not a mental problem. Masseurs recognize that the “after work blues,” like other stress-related complaints, originates in the body, not the mind. Indeed, once you eliminate the physical manifestations of stress with massage, a host of “emotional” problems begin to disappear.

Quick set-ups for massage

Thursday, October 30th, 2008 | Uncategorized | No Comments

Unplug the phone and dim the lights. Make sure your massage surface is warm. Have a squeeze bottle filled with warm light, vegetable oil handy. Lay out towels nearby. Bring a pillow.

Put on your partner’s favorite music. If you must speak, your tone is more important than what is actually said.

During the massage itself, everything your partner experiences is simply felt.

Massage Tips

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008 | Uncategorized | No Comments

This is in response to recent emails asking for “startup” massage tips. Keep these in mind so your partner can focus on the massage——and nothing else.

DO

Be sure your partner’s head and torso are supported
Include the whole upper back
Be sure your partner’s eyes are closed
Warm your hands first

DON’T

Massage while your partner does something else
“Dig in” under the vertebrae and bony shoulder area
Put pressure directly on the spine
Massage under a bright overhead light

I’ll add more massage tips here soon.

Edward Weston Documentary

Eloquent Nude: The love and legacy of Edward Weston and Charis Wilson

Last night I saw a finely-crafted new documentary of Weston’s life and work, narrated in part by his lover, Charis Wilson. Modern photographers who work with nudes will always be indebted to Weston. His courageous photographs, shot during a much more conservative era–and with primitive equipment–still take your breath away. Charis, his muse, model, assistant and partner for many years, now in her tenth decade, quite obviously still loves him. As do we all…
