I had the wonderful experience to massage a young boy ( 9 yrs old) who has been diagnosed with ADHD. His mom booked him for a 30 minute massage hoping it would help ease his mind and the tension in his shoulders and neck. As I was talking with the young boy before the massage about what would take place he was already half undressed taking off his shirt and ready to get on the massage table. So the massage started and I mentioned to the young boy to focus on the music and let your body be soft like a new fallen leaf floating on water.
This was an experience I will never forget, the young boy was so relaxed and calm he was actually snoring. During the massage I used warm stones and pressure points on his head and neck which seemed to be the trick for him, because he was "out of it." His mother has him scheduled for another massage next week, she was very happy of the outcome the massage had on her son, and actually shed a tear.
The power of touch is an amazing experience. I believe the young boy knew he was in the hands of a healer.
Namaste'
