A welcome to my love
I will welcome you with my eyes first,
Glinting with pure joy at you standing by me.
Our arms will open wide to hold each other,
And feel that the vision is real.
Our hearts will open fully in each other’s hold,
Knowing they are home at last.
We will recognize the fragrances of a fertile land
In each other’s hair and lingering over our skin.
Our lips will seek the fruits of this land, over our face and body,
Some ripe and open, others hidden and so subtle in taste.
Our fingers will find the seeds of those fruits, scattered under our skin,
And revealed only to the careful gardener.
We are each other’s gardeners,
Tending to the beauty under our eyes, and the feast to our senses.
We are also our own gardener,
Honouring our divine and earth bound presence in all we do.
Come my love, I welcome you in all you are,
And share with you in all I am

Happy Valentine’s to all the couples out there: today and why not every day?

Today marks a special occasion in a couple’s life. Over time, February 14 has become the date for exchanging love messages and a celebration of St. Valentine, the patron saint of lovers. The date is marked by sending poems and simple gifts, such as flowers, to loved ones and secret loves. It’s a time to refocus on your love, and make it be felt to your partner. Then what? Back to normality, rushing along between managing the demands of your career, the family, and so little time for your couple… How often do you long for those special times to return, to happen more often, and cherish the bond you have together?
The “Loving Touch for couples” workshop I propose at the Happiness Centre early April gives you a safe and sacred space where you can feel this deep connection between you blossom and expand. There are simple yet powerful techniques you can use to tap into the intimacy of your love for each other, then nourish it and take it to a new depth. Once you have attended this one day workshop (which I currently split over 2 half days), you no longer have to wait for these special occasions when you are reminded why you are together. You can make them happen again and again every time you wish to feel close again.
The Happiness Centre itself is a place which nurtures peace and tranquillity, and where you can reconnect with your own true identity. From that place of respect for who you are, you are then in the best possible space to connect with your partner in a deep and meaningful way. The workshop uses various rooms specially prepared in the centre for different activities. Although it is called “Loving Touch”, it is not only about learning massage. It is also about finding peace in your mind with a meditation at the beginning, learning about male and female dynamics so you can interact with understanding, and having fun together dancing for instance.
I have created this massage from the tantric tradition. Tantra has a widespread number of connotations, and can be easily misinterpreted. I view it as a path to enlightment, by saying yes to all that is given to us in this life. The tantric massage I teach involves a deep respect of the person receiving the massage, allowing their energies to start flowing and opening up to the beauty of touch when a deep trust and love are present. Giving this massage is very rewarding too, seeing your partner melt under your skilful touch, and feeling your heart completely open and in tune with them. This in turn creates a space where intimacy can flourish.
This space is where your Valentine will receive the most beautiful gift from you, and where you can both dive into the richness and beauty of your love. A sacred space indeed, yet available to all when you are fully present to your partner.
Comments from previous participants include:
“We both really enjoyed the workshop and thought you conducted it with great maturity, charm and sensitivity. We were surprised at what we discovered in ourselves. It was lovely to spend so much time together, getting to know each other again. Thank you.” Couple of 44 and 48, together for 14 years
“I would recommend your workshop to any couple who want to maintain or re-ignite their passion to keep their relationship alive and connected. It really is a way to be completely present and in the moment for your partner. Thank you for this blessing.” Female participant (age 45)
“You held a very safe and sacred space in which you guided us in a very clear and light-hearted way into deepening our connection to each other through divine tantric massage. Everything – the environment, the lighting, the colours, the music, the dance and the massage were an invitation to open the senses to more intimacy and love. I felt amazing afterwards and I could feel energy rippling through my body. Thanks to your very clear guidelines and your manual we will continue to do this at home.” Female participant (age 60)
“I found the day to be both challenging and empowering. I got to see how to communicate through focussing on my partner in a different way and appreciating him and loving him. I saw how he trusted me to take care of him and nurture him and how he ‘gave’ himself to me.” Female participant (age 50)
“It was an interesting and enjoyable workshop. I have learnt a lot and am looking forward to putting it into practice” Male participant (age 52)
This “Loving Touch for couples” workshop is suitable for established couples who wish to gain a deeper level of intimacy or simply reignite the magic of being together, and for new couples who wish to establish a solid foundation in their physical, emotional and spiritual connection. No previous massage experience is required, just a willingness to express your love further.
My name is Kalyani, and I can be contacted on 07952 036 326 or by email on kalyani.ma.mukti@gmail.com Get in touch if you’d like to find out more about this beautiful workshop, or to book your place. There are limited places only. The dates are Saturday 2nd April pm and Sunday 3rd April am, and the investment is £180 per couple.

ESPACE
massage therapy
by
Paul Phillips
At ESPACE massage therapy I aim to create a unique therapeutic treatment by using sound therapy that was developed by doctors to help many people suffering from stress or sleep disorders as well as many other symptoms of modern life. Sound Therapy is the controlled stimulation of the ear with a variety of sound or vibration. I have found that this compliments my massage treatment and has a beneficial effect on the client.
Treating the body as a whole rather than simply focusing on one area of concern enhances health, as the body works as an integrated system. I use time honoured massage techniques with a gentle blend of organic oils applied to the skin for a therapeutic holistic treatment.
Whether you are suffering from over exertion, stress or in need of rebalancing of body and mind, or would simply appreciate some time to unwind, I would like to invite you to make your appointment with me. ESPACE Massage Therapy is conveniently central at ‘Arcade at 7a’, 7a Railway Road, Ilkley, LS29 8HQ.
As a valued attendee of ‘The Happiness Centre’ I would like to make you a very special offer of a 25% discount on my holistic 1hr 20 minute treatment which also includes Shiatsu Facial Massage. Usually £40.00 but offered to you at £30.00.
To make your appointment please call or text Paul on 07811 278076.
