(and are you ready to give it a try?)
When I began to study Thai massage more than a dozen years ago, I knew that it moved energy. I knew because that’s what my teachers told me. I did not know because I could feel it. I could not.
I (kind of) trusted that one day, if I kept at it and meditated a whole lot more than I do and stopped eating meat and did more yoga and thought only pure thoughts and stopped swearing (blah, blah, blah). You get the idea. I wasn’t sure I was “good enough” to feel energy.
Let me say that again. I wasn’t sure I was good enough to feel energy. Oh, man. We can be so hard on ourselves.
I remember one of my American Thai massage teachers sharing a story about traveling all the way to Japan to study Shiatsu with a renowned teacher. She carried along in her little bag a list of questions for Great Teacher. When the time for asking arrived, she pulled out her list and started with the first question (basically “HOW do I feel energy?).
Great Teacher replied, “Just feel.” (It’s so maddening when they do that.)
She moved on to her next question, reframing the first. “How do I feel energy?”
Great Teacher replied, “Just feel.”
Undaunted (which is what I like about her as a teacher), she worked through her list. She got the same answer every time.
And, boy was she pissed. All the way to Japan?! The time?! The commitment?! The expense?! Alas, Great Teacher was just being honest. It is that simple. There is nothing more.
Just feel.

Okay, you say, but How Do I feel energy?
Right. I knew you'd ask that.
I have thought a lot about Great Teacher over the years, while I waited for the energy to show up. And while I waited, I pondered my own moments of energy awareness and began to write. By writing I began to see, and to feel and most importantly to understand and to teach. Teach you.
