    Snake massage…The world is going insane. I can think of thousands of better sources for a prudent massage. What is just as bad are the ads you must endure to see the actual footage you were there for in the first place. Just like all these video displays in the stores that seem to reproduce week to week. No worse harlet than a person who promotes a product just because they are paid to do so.

    How can this be called a massage? Very interesting as nothing is massaged, and her belly is bare and one snake going down to her crotch. hmmmmmm. yes this has some kind of ritual connotation.

    1) What struck me was the “relaxation” component. Snakes stimulate fear in the majority of people. An imprint message I picked out was give up your body to something outside of control (as the snake does what it does without direction). Combine this message with the fear and you get “willingly give up your body to something you fear and can’t control”. Over analysed perhaps!!

    2) Another imprint message was that human touch can be outsourced. Another way of putting this is that the connection that is present in regular massage can be replaced by an external force (in this case snakes, but you can draw parallels with replacing nuturing parents with the state. Ewwww….imagine a baby being “massaged” by snakes. A small step away IMHO.

    3) The term “snake oil” comes to mind (connecting oil that is normally used for massage – in the video she says, “it isn’t slimy or anything”). Being duped out of something valuable (human contact via touch) to be replaced with reptilian contact as a preferred choice.

    Apparently this isn’t EVER gonna be for me either!

    the message is that reptiles are good for you.
    No snake massage for me, I’ll chop them to pieces, send them to Buckingham Palace, I’m sure Queen Elizardbeth would enjoy them. :)

    For some people, I imagine this would feel like a family reunion.

    I watched the first seconds and turned it off – that’s what I do to crap. Meanwhile, here is something my father sent meSubject: Conditions in Israel
    This message is from Byron Safstrom.
    My brother and his family live in Jerusalem – he is a minister – and a former Navy SEAL – his office is close to one of Israel’s largest underground military bases.

    He called me last night which is very unusual – usually it is email.

    He called to tell me that he is sending his family back to the US immediately due to what he is seeing happen within the last week and what he is being told by his military contacts in both the Israel and US military.

    He said he is seeing with his own eyes military movements the likes of which he has never seen in his 20+ years in Israel.

    What he called a massive redeployment and protective tactics of forces is underway.

    Over the last two days he has seen anti-aircraft missile deployments throughout the Jerusalem area including 3 mobile units that he can see from his office windows.

    In addition, he has seen very large Israeli armored columns moving fast toward the Sinia where Egypt has now moved in Armor.

    There are reports of the top military leaders meeting with Israel’s Sr. Rabbi which is something that has happened preceding every prior military campaign.

    His admonition is to watch carefully and pray for Israel and its people.

    He is convinced that barring something extraordinary Israel will attack Iran – with or without the US – and very soon.

    It is the belief in Israel that Obama does not stand with Israel but with the Arab countries.

    He has told me before that Israel will saber rattle from time to time but that this time is very different from what he is seeing and hearing.
    He was at the Wailing Wall 2 days ago and there were hundreds of IDF soldiers there. As he was leaving he passed at least 20 military buses full of soldiers in route to the wall.

    He has never seen this before either.

    Just thought I would pass this along.
    My brother is not an alarmist by any means.

    When he talks like this it gets my attention for sure and usually I find he knows more than he shares.

    There are reports that Israel is asking Obama to come to Israel immediately but they are being answered with silence.

    My opinion is that I see the making of the perfect storm.

    LOL @ Creation33. Ewww. How is that a massage? I can’t imagine there is much pressure when they slither. And if I’m wrong, I don’t care to find out. Besides, I don’t want to feel something cool when I get a massage, I want to feel warmth from friction. I wonder what they use when the snakes are molting?

    I feel so sorry for those snakes, they are scared and are trying to get away and hide. It isnt natural for them to want to be in contact with humans. I dont think that this is so much a ritual about snakes but about how stupid and desrespectful humans are as regards to animals.

    I can’t imagine the majority of the people would want this type of massage. There were no other volunteers from the audience.
    That made me more tense watching. I’ll stick the to tradional massage by a human.

    It doesn’t really look like anything is getting massaged. Just snakes slithering around on a body. What a perfect way to introduce snake ritual to the public. No, thank you!
