delicious massage!

Today I treated myself to an hour hot oil ayurvedic massage.  Just lovely!  My shoulders have been hurting after two days in a row of Kundalini shoulder exercises, ugh.  Also I have had a nagging soreness behind my left knee and my yoga anatomy teacher said massaging it to get the blood flowing should help it out.  This massage was a worthwhile!  The hot oil was luxurious and used very liberally.  It felt so good on my overused muscles.  The massage therapist was really thorough.  Awesome foot massage, remembering all ten toes.  Even a stomach massage, which at first felt a bit ticklish but then it was really nice.  It was a Chakra balancing massage so it had a soothing spiritual side to it too.  I left feeling nourished, taken care of, and lighter.  Possibly  even a little taller.  Definitely a good splurge on my self!  This training has been more physically challenging than I had expected, so a massage was a necessary.  I love any excuse to have someone rub my body!
