El masaje siempre fue algo que en cada pueblo tenia. Un ”manos santa”,”santiguador”,”curandero” y hoy terapeuta de masaje. En los tiempos de antes no se cobraba, pero la gente si donaba cosas y dinero por el trabajo. Yo llevo mi practica de masaje de esta manera ya que pienso que hay muchas personas que necesitan pero no pueden pagar con dinero. Te pueden pagar con intercambio de trabajo,comida, de todo un poco. Esto ha sido una de las cosas que deberia hacer un terapeuta por lo menos una vez a la semana. Dar para recibir. La ley del dar. Siempre funciona no solo economicamente sino espiritual. Si eres terapeuta y quieres ser parte de masaje para la comunidad comunicate conmigo via email bodywisepr@gmail.com o 787 605 2316.

El miedo de triunfar
Recuerdo cuando estaba frente a los carbones calientes 2,000 grados Fahrenheit un camino de 10 pies. Un camino que podía quemarme o podía probarme que mi mente era mas poderosa que lo que tenia frente a mi. Al cruzar mi mente se fue en silencio. No existía mas nada que el presente y mirando al cielo oscuro mirando las estrellas llegue al otro lado. Al llegar al otro lado no lo podía creer y salte y brinque celebrando que rompí con todos mis miedos. Como Terapeutas de masaje nosotros somos facilitadores a la sanacion. Pero muchas veces se nos hace difícil cruzar por el carbon. Hacer promoción, llamar a sitios para promover la salud a través del masaje. Todos podemos hacer esto. El miedo al rechazo a no ser suficiente es todo una mentira que nos creemos. Nosotros podemos hacer mas de lo que estamos haciendo hoy. Levantate! Y con tu cabeza en alto ayuda y facilita la salud a tu prójimo. Da mas de lo que recibes y recibe mas de lo que necesitas.

El sexo y el masaje
El masaje era parte de la medicina en un momento, el padre de la medicina lo usaba y decía que todo medico debería conocer como dar masaje por que muchas condiciones eran curadas por el. Pero al llegar la guerra civil y el nacimiento de la morfina el doctor dejo de usarlo como parte de su practica. Luego en los años 20 el masaje empezó a tomar una connotación sexual. Desde ese entonces hemos visto siempre los anuncios ofreciendo masajes full body, date un release, donde tus fantasías se hacen realidad etc... Casi siempre estos servicios ofrecen masajes 24 horas. Lo cual no es normal para un profesional de la salud con Licencia. Estos sitios no son malos para el que busca esos servicios. Lo malo es cuando la gente sin escrúpulos trata de prospasar con los Terapeutas de masaje. Señores y Señoras, si se le dice que es un masaje clínico y profesional, no es el masaje con"happy ending". Hay muchos otros lugares que escoger se anuncian especialmente en el periódico y online. No pase el mal rato de estar solicitando favores sexuales y tener que hacer que el profesional se sienta mal y lo haga sentir mal a usted. Somos todos adultos vamos a usar la cabeza en el momento de escoger el masaje.
Solo tenia que compartir esto pues acabo de atender un cliente con estas tendencias y es de mal gusto. Para Masaje en Puerto Rico Profesional pueden contactarme 787 459 5405
