For some reason it thinks it's vulgar or a personal attack. So go to amazon. It's the third result in the list. The thing about that book "Magic Touch" is that it is just the beginning of getting massage therapists to start thinking differently and start believing that they are worth more and can make more. The thing is that there are unlimited possibilities in this field. You just have to start thinking outside the box for ideas for yourself or get yourself a good business coach to help you do that.

It is helping to create a paradigm shift for the massage profession that is long over due to help take it from one of having to live in "Noble poverty" to having the money that you need to live a good life. And by the way I don't tell people to do emotional or spiritual work but teach people how to handle emotional and spiritual issues that come up with when working with the body - which you all know that they do. My sites are filled with thousands of pages of just about every topic you can think of from pathology resources to massage techniques and business and marketing.

No, we all don't know that emotional or spiritual issues come up when working with the body. Strange that no one in my clinic of 6 practitioners has ever had this experience in 10 years. Your clients "experience" emotional and spiritual issues during bodywork because you encourage them to. You do in fact tell people to do emotional and spiritual work by the way you elicit those kinds of responses.

You don't have to see them directly on the table to have them happen. I don't encourage them or discourage them. It is very common knowledge that the body holds the emotions and feelings. Just read the book "Psychology of the Body" by Elliot Green then. Or don't you read books either? We just don't go around to discussion forums shoving them down people's throats.

We are capable of thinking for ourselves. It is only "common knowledge" that the body holds emotions and feelings in the new age quack movement. A few who were in extreme pain after an accident were in too much pain to get massage so I did progressive relaxation exercises instead. After a week their nervous systems were calmed to the point we could start bodywork. I agree with Meatwad, if you don't encourage clients to experience that kind of reaction, they don't.

I don't encourage people to experience any emotions. So you don't think repressed and suppressed emotions have anything to do with trauma, tight muscles, pain patterns in the body? There are whole disciplines of massage that deal with it- Hakomi therapy, Hellerwork, Rubenfield synergy, Rosen Method and many more. Did you have any deep tissue training? That was the first time I learned about how the body holds emotions. Here's a Google book link to a deep tissue massage book tinyurl.

Actually one of the biggest pieces of research a meta-analysis on massage shows that massage is best for anxiety and depression. I am not stuffing books down people's throats. If you don't want to read to learn more then don't. Most people in the career are interested in learning more about how to help their clients more and learn more. This board has a few who seem not to want to do that and that is fine to.

It isn't new age anything. It is just a basic fact the people have feelings and emotions and that touch can evoke them. No it isn't easy being a massage therapist. It will challenge you every step of the way. You also can't touch someone without being touched yourself. Sharon in Portland, Oregon. Here's some info I've learned in my counseling studies for those interested in research done on reported emotional or spiritual experiences during bodywork.

The overwhelming majority of clients reporting such experiences did so out of a desire to please practitioners who created an expectation for them. It's common knowledge that clients desire to appear 'normal'. They gauge their practitioners' verbal and non-verbal cues for their expectations of 'normality'. In other words, be very careful. Clients tend to experience whatever you suggest to them.

Manny M in Denver, Colorado. Sharon in Portland, Oregon said: Unfortunately indeed will not let me link to the research paper. I'll try another way later. I was afraid of dealing with this in school because the teachers hyped it up. Schools begin the process by creating expectations with students.

However, I've been a Rolfer for 11 years and only 5 of my clients out of hundreds have experienced an emotional response. No one has ever reported a spiritual experience. Our brains are either pre-wired for spiritual experiences or they're not. We should let clients feel free to experience - or not experience - whatever comes up and not either encourage or discourage anything. I never talk about emotional or spiritual with clients before sessions, only during or after during those very rare times it's necessary. I read the book and agree with Lalani.

That's all the meat to it. Don't waste your money. The Rev in Foster City, California. Wow, no emotional body? I be blessed being in Berkeley I don't know why I am noted to be in Foster City , a hot bed for out of the box thinking. I really believe Sedona like energy runs through the earthquake faults of this arena having even more of an impact on folk than the vortexes in Sedona. Stanley Kellerman, a Berkeley person, wrote The Emotional Body an incredible read written before much of the research proved such a thing existed. Ida Rolf mentions it a lot throughout her writings.

If you have not heard of emotional releases by the time you have completed a lengthy massage program, you have not been trained well. One does not have to facilitate an emotional release. Somehow I knew there would be lots of info on this remarkable book, by now. Google it, or start here: If emotional release just happens then it would happen spontaneously without priming from the practitioner.

I've just read several research studies showing it happens the majority of the time when the practitioner creates an expectation for it.

The practitioner creates an expectation, the client then desires to appear normal and please the practitioner by creating the experience. Unfortunately I can't provide a link because it requires my password. Of course researchers and practitioners who believe emotional release happens find their clients experience it often. They believe it exists so they create the expectation, which 'primes' clients who will 'experience' it more often.

It does not happen in my practice because I don't speak of it. If it was real, my clients would experience it anyway. I don't speak of it unless it occurs Would you consider the shedding of tears an emotional release? What is your longest term client? Trust has an awful lot to do with it. How many times has a first and only time client said to you they have no pain and you find pain throughout their body, much to even their surprise because of having come to full acceptance of it?

A good masseur can feel the reflexors going off but some can't and end up doing more harm than good, never knowing they have done so. Maybe the client was one time only because of having something opened up on ANY level that they did not want to deal with. I have heard such things from those who referred folk to me. I truly believe the lack of communication between practitioner and client is the downfall of many a therapist as well as the inability of a practitioner to communicate clearly The worst table related emotional breakdown I had to deal with was a new client that was told it would be a good thing to get a massage to help relieve the stress due to the death of her father.

My touch put her over the edge making for quite the crying jag. The funniest verbalized acknowledgement that a massage could create an emotional release was at a site set up by my alma mata to provide touch to those suffering great losses because of the Loma Prieta earthquake. One older guy was invited in to receive some work. His response was, "You kidding? You get me to relax and I am going to have a nbd. Here's a good site to learn about stress: I think the authors visit this forum but I would like to hear opinions from any readers.

I've gone from being alone to having a staff of over a dozen and just took over a third suite of offices. I am in economically depressed North Carolina in the county with the 2nd highest unemployment rate in the state, but my business is thriving. I think people are desperate for non-invasive, non-drug ways to manage pain and stress, and that is where our strength lies. I'm sure that's a viable option in bigger towns where there are more performance venues than there are here in my area.

According to your Yahoo map thingy the Trip distance is: Between that and the company you keep it's politics I would be hard pressed by others before coming to you for some hard pressing.

I have perused your book and found it pretty interesting. My bible is still Guerilla Marketing which I just googled for the very first time. I should have known that gem would survive and did it sooner: It's way to much like work and those that achieve such numbers without other lines of income or employees will be short lived or are just outrageously expensive.

Nina in Portland, Oregon said: I really appreciate the encouraging feedback. That was my goal and I am so happy to hear that you are one of the many readers who loved the book.

It has been replaced with a page version that is extended and edited. Amazon is just taking it's sweet time to change the price and cover photo. But sadly, It no longer has a money-back guarantee or free shipping included in the price. Also, you should know that the review you have linked to does little to describe the book. It focuses on it's most basic qualities and even states blatant untruths about the page version, so I'm sure you can imagine how silly that review looks now that the book is pages. I mean, for goodness sakes, get your refund already, whatever-your-name-is Learning To Live Again".
