She came to me high with anxiety and the mid to lower half of her back in agonizing pain.
I immediately felt her breath getting caught in her chest, and not entering her belly. I felt the anxiety but as I continued to work on her back, I could feel a deeper layer of sadness underneath it.

Embodied Experiences of Pleasure & Pain: Mobile Massage in Jupiter, FL and Stuart, FL
My experience has been that pleasure and pain are so intertwined. They both take an immense amount of capacity and presence to hold. They are big gifts and lessons in receiving.
