I asked my L1 students today what they are getting out of their massage training that might be helpful to hear for someone who is considering taking the plunge into learning massage or furthering their training. What I received was unequivocal appreciation for the changes that have occurred in their awareness, their body and their life. Each had a unique experience of how the training was impacting them. Each had a boldness in their speaking about their areas of change and clarity of what they are up to with this work.

For all of us at BTI who support what occurs in the classroom, receiving such feedback is a joy. Is such feedback unusual? Relative to what commonly occurs in the world, I'd say yes- generous, open, spontaneous sharing of significant changes in body/mind and experience. Relative to what commonly occurs in the classroom at BTI, I'd say no- we hear feedback of this nature often, sometimes daily. I invite you to read their quotes of what has been changing in their awareness, their bodies and their lives. And as you read their comments, I invite you to consider what else is possible in your body, your awareness and your life.
