A Story About John, My Massage Therapist, & 2nd Chakra Healing

John was my massage therapist while I lived on Maui for about five years in the early nineties. He was amazing. With one stroke he could do what any other massage therapist required 10-15 strokes to achieve. His hands were so strong and sensitive to what most allowed the body to open and receive the healing coming through him.
After several sessions, I felt comfortable asking him for a very specific healing I felt in need of. I wanted him to massage and bless and heal all of me—every inch of my body, including the places traditionally ignored for etiquette's sake. I was well aware that, most especially during my younger years, my genitals and anus were only touched when I needed my diaper changed or needed to have the shit and piss cleansed from my body—what an association to have with my genitals! And later in life, these areas were only touched during sexual intimacies. I wanted all of me openly blessed and nurtured and loved.
I explained this to John. I explained that rather than me getting naked as usual and then him draping me with a sheet, only exposing the parts of the body he was working on, and never ever touching my so-called "privates," that I wanted him to forgo the sheet and include all of me, every inch of my body in the massage. I requested that if I got an erection, he remained neutral to it and just continued doing what he was doing. And if I got hard while he was blessing and massaging me there, so be it—just include it like any other part of my body.
John understood and agreed. In fact, he decided to play high priest and make a ritual of it. He got a bowl, filled it with water, blessed it, and then later after the massage, he dipped his fingers in the bowl and spritzed me with the water, covering each and every part of my body including my genitals in the blessing.
It was totally delightful and deeply healing to have all of me included equally and indiscriminately. At times during the massage and ceremony, I was crying, literally like a baby. I felt so touched and caressed, seen and heard, and ultimately unconditionally loved.
I, and my second chakra especially, thanked John with an overflowing heart.
With the old etiquette and social mores dissolved, we continued in this new tradition of including the whole body in each and every massage.
This is the type of healing we will be doing energetically in the upcoming Healing Mini-Group focused on healing and opening Sexual, Creative & Romantic Expression [2nd Chakra Healing]. This group is happening tomorrow, Saturday, October 4, 2025 at noon Eastern Time and there are a few slots left.
Our Second Chakra is meant to be a bright orange color radiating freely to help fuel the Third Chakra, adding a zest for life, an enthusiasm for living, contributing to the fire in the belly of a fully activated Solar Plexus Chakra. But for most of us, it is at best a burnt umber rimmed in black because it is overlaid with so much societal conditioning and generations of limitations regarding our genitals, our sexual expression and experience.
Our ability to simply enjoy the self-pleasures and mutual pleasures, and the Bliss of Being that naturally arises when the Second Chakra is bathed in Innocence and Flow and Balance, can be restored. Join us and experience 2nd Chakra Healing for yourself!
