One Bright Thing

Accidental Awakening Of My Senses

After a long time, I treated myself to a massage today. My body was calling for it. But, unlike all other times, I had a very different experience this time. It wasn’t because of something the masseuse did but because of how I related to what was going on around me.

Initially, to get away from the usual mind chatter, I kept drawing my mind to the music in the room. The relaxing music kept me engaged, but I would get lost in thoughts or the massage when there was too much pressure.

Then, the music changed to something else. Before I knew it, I was engrossed in beautiful classical music. It was a song with music from a violin and piano. I wasn’t familiar with it, but it was so powerful that my mind couldn’t help getting lost in it.

It awakened my senses so much that I became aware of the essential oil smells in the room after a while.

I went in for a relaxing massage for my body, but it was an experience that was a treat to multiple senses. Finding joy in ways we don’t usually expect is always a delight.
