I love giving massages, and most people say I’m good at it and ask if I’ve done a course. It’d be nice to say yes – to actually have a qualification. I find giving massages a great way to talk to people one on one and find things out about their lives and their thoughts. You’re doing something so nice for them, they always reward you with good, open conversation. I also find it a good way to pick up someone’s vibes, or essence. Touch is good for that. Massage is a great way to invade someones personal space without their objecting! Obviously there are some not-so-good connotations that come with massage, which is a worry. Thankfully, I’m not the sort of person that exudes lots of those overtly flirtatious, sensual feminine vibes, so hopefully no one will take the wrong meaning.
Another reason I want to be qualified is that they get people to do free massages for the artists at an arts festival I go to. I’d love to volunteer to do that one year and get to know all those fascinating artists and pick their creative brains!
