I call this an art cause in all actuality it is. The definition of art is: The conscious production or arrangement of sounds, colors, forms, movements, or other elements in a manner that affects the sense of beauty, specifically the production of the beautiful in a graphic or plastic medium.
This is what I once did. I took what was within in and brought it out in a stream of movements that made one of the most beautiful things in this world, the relaxation of both mind and body within a person.
I have been trained with the proper movements to massage. I have been taught a technique to build upon. I learned all about the physical aspects of the body. I know how the blood flows, how our food fuels us, how we deal with waste. All these things can be taught. Just like one can be taught how to hold a paint brush, what colors make what colors when combined. Does knowing this make a person an artist? No its taking all this combining it with what is inside of you, with your soul. This makes a person an artist. This makes me an artist.
