For Felix Vanier-Alfred: Thai massage Shadow Dance

Felix, you’ll never get to see this and you’ll never know how many people you touched. Yours was a strong, bright light. One of our teaching methods, at Lotus Palm, is called ’the Shadow Dance’ (or, Distant Thai Massage Transmission). Because it’s not always easy to find someone to practice with, we are taught to practice as though someone were there: to picture them, to focus your intention and send them all your metta. Then, when the massage is finished, you call them up and ask them how their massage was (and tell them they owe you 60 bucks) :-) Felix, this one’s on the house. I hope you are at peace. with metta, -s. Special thanks to Kam Thye Chow Music “Elsewhere“ by Sarah McLachlan
