For the massage, it sounds like you ended up in a school clinic. Every massage school has a student clinic where students are applying what they are learning on the public. It's why the massage is so cheap.

12:40 A lot of people who have this experience with silent meditation do better to start with sound meditation or a guided body scan track.
Also, overall, if one has that thought train enough times, horrific as it is, the brain CAN get bored of it and then it’s like “well this is a future fear, so this is anxiety- since this is not what’s happening right now, I can set this down” the come back to the breath again. It’s called “practicing” meditation for a reason XP

My very first massage was last year. I have an issue with acting tough too, and I've got a dangerously high pain threshold, so I just didn't say anything. She super popular, so I assumed that's what a therapeutic massage is like. 3 weeks later I returned for my next appointment, and apparently I STILL had bruises all over my back. She backed off after that.

Sounds like you got the bouncer at a place that only does massage as a front for another business. 😂 Totally happened to my cousin and his wife. After the massage they looked at the walls and they were covered with photos of girls.

Ok, as a therapist of 43 years, the male is a masseur, and the female massuse. Those are actually long time ago references to a therapist. Just massage therapist will do. When I studied we had the masters that came here to teach therapists amazing work such as:
Ida Rolph
Milton Trager
Mosh Feldenkris
Robert Stevenson.
They left the world a better place. I asked myself over 40 years ago, how much longer till corporate makes millions off of therapists after calling us prostitutes? Unfortunately we are a dying breed and we are taking our work with us.

Josh Johnson talking about the cat being an attack cat was hilarious.
I know about being broke it's depressing.
Sam Harris talked about meditating with mushrooms. he said it really works.
that message letting out grunts and groans was hilarious.
by the end of this routine I was rolling on the floor. LMFAO!!!
