Before the moment there is holding
Before the stroke there is stillness
before the caress there is quiet

One of the most beautiful and powerful strokes of Massage is not moving at all.
It is holding, in stillness
In presence deep presence
Holding with your heart, Holding
Simply resting your hands on the body
With gentleness with love, with presence
With the intention of only being with you.

Holding brings you into your body
I often use it as an earth massage
It defines your body
It brings towards your center, bringing you to your core, it is
where the connection begins.

There is a healing in being held,
No movement, no expectation, no anticipation.
There is a stillness of being and in time the mind will still like the body as it quietens.

Create a space a sacred space, a sensual space.
Warm welcoming, comforting.
Choose the elements with harmony.
Breath, a few deep breaths to become present.
Look into your partner eyes
Together, bring your hands up to your heart
center in the middle of your chest.
Breathe
Bring your hands to touch
Acknowledge each other with what ever words that are
appropriate may be for a lover or a ?.

Lay them down on their back
Comfortable
Warm
Cushions for support where ever they need
Sit beside them or between their legs
Be in a comfortable position so you do not have to move during this holding.
Place one hand on their heart center, gently place the other hand on their yoni or lingam. Gently
Close your eyes
Go inside of yourself, to your heart, to your stillness.
Breathe that into your hands
Let your hands melt into the contours, the curves of the body whom your are massaging.
Stay present
When your mind wanders come back to your breath
Hold them, melt into them
Emotions will come and go
Sensations will come and go
Arousal may come and go
Tears may come and go
Laughter may come and go
Trembling may come and go
Hold them, stay present, breathe

When it is time your body will tell you, when it is time, when
it is time, slowly so slowly take your hands of her body
Cover her sit beside her, stay present,
stay on your heart, stay in love.

Holding is a deep meditation of intimacy
In this quite we release, we feel
In this warmth we become
A gift in the giving, a gift in receiving
Breathe your gratitude in sharing
Breathe the possibility.
