My business trip to Hong Kong was nothing short of amazing. The people, the culture and the foods will remain within my memory forever. I enjoyed walking along the strips in Hong Kong. I also loved meeting the people who love where they live and are able to tell you the best places to experience while there. My thoughts are filled with all of this. The best thing, however, that is still in my mind, was the Hong Kong massages that occurred, when this sweet little massage therapist, came to my hotel room for a one hour massage session. She was very demure and polite, while still helping me to laugh and feel relaxed. When she came into the room, she smelled so good. As she set up the table, I could tell that she had been doing this for a long time. She made me feel comfortable, about what would soon be, the best massage experience I have ever had. I wanted a deep tissue massage, after a week long of stressful business meetings, that eventually ended up with me getting the deal.
She talked to me about the cultures of Hong Kong and a little about the history. It took me back to the streets, where I had walked amongst so many people who live here. After getting up on the table, she used her amazing hands to massage every inch of my body. I began to relax and see why I needed to do this more often. She would talk to me about funny things, and then she was quiet. It was if she knew when to speak and when not to speak. As her hands went around my body, she placed scents, as she went. The main areas she massaged were my neck, my lower back, my thighs and my feet. These were key pressure areas, she said, that needed to always be relaxed. She would sometimes use her elbows to get into the deep tissue, which was just below the skin. She helped me to understand that the deep tissue massage, actually goes into the tissues within the body, which helps to relieve the stress. She made me feel that I was in a world all my own. I felt like I had learned about the deep tissue massage. And I also felt special and that she had only done these massages for me. There was a strong connection between me and this stranger, that only came from what we both were experiencing. The fact that she was the giver of the massage and I was the receiver. It was as if there was a bond between us, at least for the one hour session. I wanted more of this and especially from her. She had a way of making my body feel like there was no more stress inside of it. My journey to Hong Kong was almost complete and the best thing about it was the Hong Kong massage in my hotel room, by the sweet massage therapist, that made me feel stronger and more powerful. I know knew, that there was nothing that I couldn’t do.
