WATSU 3 with Harold Dull

A memorable experience of life time in WATSU 3. Yes that is how i will describe it. listening to the founder & experiencing watsu from his own hands was enriching & touching. He is such a gentleman with clear idea where his concept has to go.
The week was a creative challenge after watsu 2 which was full of sequence but challenging. Watsu 3 had lot of moves that can be used to go from one position to another & enabling our creativity to take shape.
The whole dimension of Watsu Changed at this level. It developed to a more meaningful, beautiful way for two people to be in synchrony, harmony, understanding, compassionate and attentive to what the reciever wants rather than what giver wants to give. It made me realise myself how much I needed this, as I love being creative. Being empathetic with people by profession it just allowed me blend with the philosophy of watsu. For first time when i did the free flow, I ended up frustrated as I could not get what i intended to get. As I listened to my teachers Harold, Gianni, Xavier it all came to me, it is not about what I want to give but What the body in my hands needs.
This is where i realized I needed to listen, listen to the body of the reciever & also mine to see how it can develop into a poetry in water. Wow !! after that I enjoyed the session. To add a pinch of sugar, Gianni arranged for a night session of watsu free flow. This was magical. Really... The pool calm & serene, lit around with reflected lights, water reflecting red blue green colors with in pool lights, surrounded by darkness & quiteness, with an invited violinist playing a soothing, touching note.... did not realize how we spent two hours giving & recieving the session. It was wonderful experience for me. I should say this as all would not prefer to have music while giving sessions.
Next day I recieved a session from Xavier, this was blended with surface & underwater. This did stir a lot of emotions in me & when I opened my eyes after the session, I wanted to be like that forever...
After recieving a brief watsu session from Harold, the experience became complete.
