I had the most heavenly shiatsu treatment this morning that I just have to share. I see my practitioner once a month and generally I walk away feeling pretty similar as when I walked in. But today she used her body as pressure instead of it coming from just her hands and the difference was delicious! Shiatsu in general isn't always the most relaxing of experiences b/c the practitioner is getting their fingers into some pretty tough spots that can be a bit painful. Shiatus literal translation is "finger pressure" and it is just that. You're fully clothed lying on a mat on the floor.
This morning she got up on all fours while I was lying on my stomach and used her knees to work the muscles in my legs and applied pressure to my back evenly with the flats of her hands. Today I realized happiness is having someone expertly walk on your feet with their feet. This may all sound strange and convoluted, but trust me, it's been over an hour and I'm still floating.

I'm completely envious of your treatment. I'm going for a massage soon and I can't wait. It's what I imagine taking heroin would be like: incredible. I'm relaxing just thinking about it.
