You are undressing in order to have a massage, and this massage is with aromatic oils. But these oils are very special oils. Even so, like all massage oils, they will be gently rubbed into your skin. But this is no simple massage in which just the back or the neck is massaged. No, on the contrary, this is a full body massage. And the aromatic oils will be massaged into every part of your body. And the special nature of these oils is that they protect you from adverse criticism. Yes, just like oil protects against water, since oil and water cannot mix, so these oils will protect you against adverse criticism, since these oils and adverse criticism just do not mix. The oils prevent any adverse criticism penetrating your body, penetrating your mind, penetrating your consciousness, and even prevents any adverse criticism penetrating your unconscious mind.
And now the oils are being massaged into your body. The masseur begins with the feet, rubbing the oils between your toes and over the ball of the foot and over the ankles. The oil is now being rubbed over the legs: the calf muscles, the knee and the thigh. Both the front and the back of the legs are being covered with the oil, every part of the legs are being covered by the oil. Your stomach is now being rubbed with the oil, your chest and your arms. Yes, all the front of your body is being rubbed by the protective oil. And now you turn over, and the back is being massaged by the oils. Yes, your whole body is being covered by this special oil, this special aromatic oil, which is going to protect you from adverse criticism. And you are now covered with this protective oil, from the tips of your toes to the top of your head.
You now meet with someone who begins to criticise you, someone you know who often does this but who does not seem to realise how upsetting it has been in the past to you. But now, you find that the criticism seems to just bounce off the skin. It is as if you can 'see' the criticism like a beam, but that the beam cannot get past the protective oils in your skin and so is reflected. Yes, the criticism is simply reflected from your body and does not enter your body, does not enter your mind, does not enter your consciousness and does not enter your unconscious mind. And this makes you feel good, makes you feel confident, makes you feel that you can now cope with any adverse criticism and with other people's negative criticism.
You are aware that the people you know and the people you meet are generally negative and that they emanate negative criticism, not just of you and your views, attitudes, etc, but of everyone else's too. Yes, they are generally negative and destructive individuals. And they are not unusual in this respect. You have already found in life that many individuals are negative and destructive in their criticism.
But now you find that the oils have given you a permanent protection against such negative criticism, such negative thoughts. Yes, all such negativity is simply bounced back, and does not penetrate any part of your body, any part of your consciousness, or any part of the unconscious mind. So powerful is the oil that no negative comment, no matter how small or how large, can penetrate the protective film that now covers you. And this makes you feel good, feel confident, feel positive. Yes, most of all it makes you feel positive.
