Re: thumb walking

I learned Thai Massage 2 years ago, and went for more training last
year. However, since my practice is based primarily on
Swedish/Trigger Point Therapy (been in independent practice for 3
years now), I haven't been doing Thai massage regularly .

Until a few weeks ago.

It's certainly rejuvenating for my clients and myself, and they love
it. However, I have noticed that I finish my 90 minute routine 10
minutes earlier, and I never ever get through to a 2 hour
session ,because by then I'm done with most positions. One thing I
have noticed is that during the thumbing of energy lines on the legs,
I may be doing it too fast. So maybe I may be going through the
routine a bit too fast (especially since I'm out of practice maybe).
What is the ryhthm that I can use to remind myself not to go too
fast? ANy suggestions?

Beth
