I love these videos quite a bit more than I feel comfortable with.

5:32 - The opossum is at first overwhelmed by the hypnosis, feeling its mind slip away into the abysm and slowly be replaced by the will of its would-be harpy master...

5:42 - But wait! ...Struggle... to survive... must struggle... to exist! AWAY, VILE SHE-DEVIL!

So that's what I've been doing wrong.

Yeah, we wouldn't want to block their natural chi and everything.

I'm still amazed at how serious yet seemingly-self-aware this woman is.

Opossum!

I love how pissy she gets at 5:42

Yeah, she seems like the kind of lady who would be into massaging weird animals. For spiritual reasons, I bet, and totally not because no man has ever naively loved her without shame.

The only proper way to massage an opossum is to grip the neck with both hands and clench as tight as you can for several minutes.

**IMPORTANT NOTE** Opossums will often appear dead when not actually so, so be sure to check for residual chi before releasing your grip.

very good video. Now I know how to do this in my own home!
