The Deepest Massage For Your Soul

You don't need to go to a spa and pay for a massage.

You don't need anyone else's hands to relax you and bring you back to yourself.

If you need help to unwind.

If you need to give your body the time and attention it needs.

If you want to relax your whole entire nervous system.

You don't have to go anywhere to do it.

Because you can do it yourself.

You can give yourself what you need with your own two hands.

This isn't about loosening muscles or relaxing your body.

This is an act of devotion to yourself.

This is a profound and powerful practice of self-love.

This is the way you massage out the fear,

The stress and the static out of your body.

Inviting your whole being to breathe clearly again.

So let's begin.

Make some space around yourself.

Make sure you can stretch out if you want to.

Your bed,

The sofa,

A yoga mat or rug on your floor.

Somewhere soft and safe where you can sink into.

Now sit or lie back.

Whatever feels right and natural for you in this moment.

There's no wrong or right way of doing this.

There's just your way.

If your eyes aren't already closed,

Then please close them now and relax into yourself.

Start taking long,

Slow,

Deep breaths into yourself.

Letting the world outside you just slip away.

To begin,

Please place your hands together in prayer position.

Elbows out to the sides and begin rubbing your palms together as fast as you can.

Keep rubbing faster and faster like you're waking something up inside you.

Like you're generating powerful energy.

Keep rubbing your hands together.

Let the friction build.

Let the heat grow.

Knowing that with every movement you're generating the energy of the universe itself.

The healing magic of the universe.

And now stop rubbing,

But keep your palms pressed together for a moment.

Feel the heat you created.

And now gently part your hands,

But just a few inches and feel the vibration between them.

Feel that energy you just created by connecting to the power of yourself and the whole entire universe.

And now see this energy as the most exquisite golden light.

And see how your hands start to illuminate with this golden light.

The light of the whole entire universe.

Feel the energy and power that lies within your hands now.

Feel your hands become light gold.

Now I'm going to invite you to touch your own body in a moment.

I'm going to invite you to give your own beautiful self a massage.

Which is most likely something you've never done before.

Maybe your mind,

Your body instantly reacted as soon as I said you were going to touch yourself.

Maybe you restricted instantly at the possibility.

Maybe your heart clenched,

Scared,

But curious.

I know I'm asking something big of you.

I'm asking you to try and love yourself more.

Please don't judge yourself.

Please don't cringe at yourself.

I'm asking you to please give yourself what your soul deserves.

Using your beautiful and powerful imagination every time you touch your body during this journey.

I want you to feel yourself pouring light back into yourself with the golden energy of your hands.

You're not just easing away your body's tension.

You're also pouring light inside of you.

You're letting your own hands become powerful healing instruments.

Take a deep breath in now gathering up any fear or apprehension.

And sigh it all out your mouth with a long sigh.

Because it's time to take a step out of your comfort zone.

So you can heal your whole entire being.

Now let's begin at the very bottom.

The foundation.

Bend one knee gently and bring your foot up where you can reach it.

Take your hands and wrap them around your toes.

Don't rush this.

Please be gentle with yourself.

Show yourself some care and tenderness for once.

Connect to your own physical beingness.

Start with your big toe.

Roll it between your thumb and finger.

Gently massage your big toe with love.

Then move to the next toe and the next.

Slowly one by one.

And then do the same on your other foot.

With the same care and the same devotion.

And as you do say this softly in your mind.

Thank you.

Thank you toes for the balance you give me.

Thank you for the times you curled into warm sand.

Thank you for enduring all the shoes I squashed you into.

Thank you that no matter what you always held me steady.

Massage the balls of both your feet now.

Use your thumbs.

Slow gentle circles.

Push into that tender spot where the stress hides.

Where the weight of the day still lingers.

Then move to your heels.

Feel how solid they are.

Like the foundation stone of a temple.

Your heels are the stones that held you up every single day of your life.

As you massage each of your heels please say this in your mind.

Thank you for holding me.

Thank you for walking me towards every version of myself I've ever become.

Now take your hand and cup one of your feet.

Stroke it.

Squeeze it gently.

Imagine golden light pooling in your palms and soaking into the bones.

The tendons.

The soft skin.

And then switch to the other foot.

Infuse your foot with the healing golden light energy in your hands.

And when both feet are complete just allow them to fully exhale.

To completely and utterly relax.

Then move up to your ankles.

One by one wrap your hands around them.

Like you're holding something precious.

Massage the little bone that pokes out those delicate hinges that have carried every twist.

Every stumble.

Every dance.

Thank your ankles.

Thank you for moving me forward.

Thank you for holding me upright even when life knocked me sideways.

Now slide your hands up to your calves.

Squeeze them slowly.

Moving from the ankle up toward the knee.

And back down again.

Let your thumbs sink into the muscles.

Feel for tightness.

For knots of stress you didn't know you'd been holding.

Picture all the anxiety you've been storing here.

All the rushing.

All the running.

All the constant doing.

And now feel the golden light energy of your hands dissolving all of that tension and anxiety into nothing but pure,

Clean,

Golden light.

And thank your calves.

Thank you for every hill you've ever climbed.

Thank you for the strength you've given me to always keep going.

Now cup your knees.

Your secret supporters.

Place a hand over each of your knees.

Strange,

Beautiful,

Little universes.

Always bending,

Always supporting,

Always catching your weight.

Circle your thumbs around the kneecap with love and appreciation.

Press gently into the soft space behind your knee,

Where the skin is soft as silk.

And thank your knees.

Thank you for holding me steady when I wanted to fall.

Thank you for bowing and rising with me through every stage of my life.

Move to your thighs now.

The pillars.

Use your whole palm,

Long,

Slow strokes up and down.

Pressing into the muscle,

But also stroking your thighs gently too,

Like you're comforting yourself.

Allow them to be as they are.

Don't judge them.

Your thighs are pillars.

They carried you when you were strong,

When you were weak,

When you were completely exhausted.

They held you when you were a child learning to run.

They held you when you didn't feel like standing up again.

So say to your thighs,

Thank you for being my power.

Thank you for holding me even when I wanted to cave in.

And now bring your hands to your hips and pelvis.

The keeper of stories.

Press your palms into the bones of your hips.

Feel your structure.

Feel your solid,

Sacred frame.

Your hips are where so much of your past life has been stored.

Tension.

Memory.

Moments you never spoke aloud.

Massage the sides of your hips.

Squeeze gently where the flesh softens.

Send warm,

Golden,

Healing light into your joints.

And now say,

Thank you for holding me.

Thank you for carrying my whole being.

Thank you for every sway,

Every dance,

Every stumble you've turned into grace.

And place your hands over the area below your belly for a moment.

Your pelvis area.

Just hold it gently.

Feel the light energy from your hands soaking into your whole pelvis area.

Feel it illuminated in pure love,

Light and healing.

And say the following to that space inside of you.

Thank you for holding so much for me.

The old fear,

The old pain,

The old shame.

I dissolve all of this from you now with the golden light of the whole entire universe.

And now move your hands to your belly.

Rub it gently in slow circular motions.

Without any criticism or judgement.

Without needing to change it.

Just caress your stomach with love.

Because your belly is where you digest the world.

It's where you feel the nerves before a huge moment in your life.

Your belly is where you laugh until it hurts.

So say to your belly,

Thank you for feeling so much for me.

Thank you for digesting.

For processing.

For turning what I give you into the energy that keeps me alive.

Now lean forward slightly if you can.

And start rubbing your lower back.

Use your knuckles,

Your palms,

Whatever feels good.

Your hands are glowing with powerful golden light.

The healing light of the whole universe.

So feel this golden light energy permeate into your lower back.

Dissolving all the tension and the pressure of holding so much for so long.

Feel your lower back completely relax in the golden light energy of your hands.

And say to your lower back,

Thank you for carrying the weight of my life.

Thank you for keeping me upright even when I felt like I was bending under all the pressure.

And when you're ready,

Place your hands over your chest.

Massage your sternum gently,

Rub along your collarbones.

Trace the curve of your shoulders where they meet your chest.

Imagine every touch is sending healing light into your heart space.

And say to your chest,

Say to your heart,

Thank you for beating.

For keeping me alive through every heartbreak,

Every joy,

Every moment I thought I couldn't survive another.

And now your arms,

The reaches and holders.

Take one arm in your opposite hand.

Start at the shoulder and slowly knee down to the elbow,

To the forearm,

To the wrist.

And massage each of your fingers the way you did with each of your toes.

One by one.

Tenderly and with devotion to yourself.

Slowly and affectionately massage golden healing light into every part of both of your shoulders,

Arms,

Wrists,

Hands and fingers.

Your arms have reached for love.

They've held whatever you needed to hold.

Your hands have written,

Cooked,

Created,

Clutched,

Carried.

So thank them now.

Thank you for touching the world for me.

Thank you for all you've built,

All you've given,

All you've held.

And now move to your neck,

The crown of your body.

Massage the golden light of your hands into the back of your neck now.

Where tension gathers like storm clouds.

Press gently up into your skull.

Caress the sides of your neck like a lover.

And thank your neck.

Thank you for holding up my head when it all felt too heavy.

Thank you for being the bridge between my body and mind.

And finally,

Bring your fingers to your scalp.

Run them slowly through your hair.

And if you have no hair,

Stroke the skin on the top of your head with nothing but love.

Press your fingers into your scalp and circle them.

Like you're combing golden healing light into your thoughts.

Imagine every touch of your scalp with this powerful golden light melting away all of your fear.

Every touch of your scalp from your own hands calms the racing mind into complete,

Pure peace.

And say to your head now,

Thank you for thinking for me.

Thank you for dreaming,

For remembering,

For imagining,

For believing.

And now place both hands over your heart.

And feel your whole body tingling from toes to top of head in the most glorious golden healing light.

Feel that light pouring in from your own hands,

Flooding through you.

Your whole body is glowing like sunlight under skin.

And now whisper softly to yourself.

To every inch of your physical being.

Thank you for being my home.

I love you.

I appreciate you.

I am grateful for you just as you are in this present moment.

And just breathe here deeply.

And stay here as long as you like.

Holding yourself.

Loving yourself.

Realize now that you have always been your own healer.

I am sending you and your beautiful body and exquisite soul so much unconditional love.

Thank you for being here with me.

Thank you for doing this deep,

Powerful work.
