The experience of Watsu can be very powerful and liberating, the practicioners roll is to support and facilitate the moves, but not to control or to “intervene” with the need, the rhythm and the tempo of the clients body. Being in this neutral environment allows the nervous system to let go and “magic” begins.
The “magic” I talk about is what I feel both in the practicioner side and as a receiver. Its when the body is in flow with breath, the water suggests in motherly manner that we can let go of the knee or shoulder and the body and it allows soft shifts to happen. In some other aquatic styles we get in the water in a beautiful dance of breath patterns and movement through the water, once again, the experience of breath exploration is very expensive and freeing.
If anyone is interested in Watsu, your local Ocean Beach Massage Center, That’s Your Body offers these sessions. Just ask Gal for more information and when you can get a session scheduled.
