In the past I have already been introduced to ayurvedic massage, yoga, meditation, ... The oriental and holistic wisdoms have always fascinated me.
But the tantra massage was and is completely new to me.
In recent years I have lost the connection between my body and mind, I no longer felt well and chaos seemed to dominate in my head.
So let it be clear that I came to the appointment nervous. Not because of the prospect of the massage, but because of the 'state of mind' I have been in for some time.
And then Christophe welcomes me, with a friendly smile and a very calm demeanor.
I must have sounded confused during the scouting call, chattering as I told my story.
But Christophe continued to listen calmly and mainly told me that maybe I should learn to let go, let it come to me. And I did...
From the very first touch, right through the towel, I could feel the warm, loving and respectful power. So special, so unique!
Especially if you know that I already had some experience with getting massages.
This was different and - strangely enough - I immediately felt safety, security, ... gratitude. And I let it happen to me.
During the whole massage, that security continued to grow, and I discovered that I am not nearly as kind to my body.
In any case, it has never been so cherished and pampered as it was during this moment.
It struck me that this had been a huge loss.
And with letting my body nurture, my mind calmed down a bit.
Even afterwards Christophe took the time for reflection, but I first had to process all this myself at home.
The positive feeling, 'the energy', continued to resonate for a long time and very strongly.
For me it felt like the first seed had been sown again, I'm going back in the right direction, my body and mind have greeted each other again for a long time.
As Christophe puts it: he is only the accompanist, I have to do the work myself. And so I do.
I started meditating and yoga again. Instead of getting annoyed by my 'figure', I learn to have respect for my body again and I start loving it again.
In the meantime, my next session with Christophe is already booked. A session I am very much looking forward to.
The road is still long, but with Christophe's guidance and with my renewed energy I will get there.
So thank you Christophe, a thousand thanks.
