Why Massage |
|
|
"The body's life is the life of sensation and emotions. The body feels real
hunger, real thirst, and real joy in the sun or snow, real pleasure in the smell
of roses or the look of a lilac bush: real anger, real sorrow, real tenderness,
real warmth, real passion, real hate, and real grief. All these emotions belong
to the body and are only recognized by the mind."
D.H. Lawrence
