☀️2 therapists 1 client☀️

This week, I had the opportunity to do an intensive with a client, where I treated them with Myofascial release 6 times in one week!

At the Myofascial Release treatment centers (in Melvern, PA and Sedona, AZ) this is a regular paradigm. People come in to get treated 3 times a day, for 1 or 2 weeks, aka 1 or 2 week intensives.

You have less time for the old guards to grab the reigns in between sessions and can unlock the subconscious holding patterns and ideally get them to shift more fully, having so many sessions close together.

For one of the sessions this week Stacy Holden came in so that I could mimic another aspect often experienced at the treatment centers, where you have 2 (or more) therapists working with you at one time. This can help the psychy to drop into the subconscious even deeper with encouragement coming not just from one therapist but two. It’s amazing to see where unwindings can go with this kind of encouragement.

When the subconscious holding patterns get seen, recognized and shift, pain patterns can totally release and rearrange, and in some cases never come back.

Stacy has lots of cranial experience and a handful of Myofascial classes under her belt as well.

It was an amazing experience for us all. ❤️ I am grateful 🙏🏽

I feel that it has shifted gears in the space, and in my heart and hands… I look forward to how the sessions go the next few weeks with this new evolution!

You are perfect, just the way you are.

The gift of self care for those perfect beings in our lives enhances their experience of life. Also, it supports local small business (in this case woman owned 💪), and its a space saver if your perfect being already has everything they need.

All thought provoking ideologies aside, there are printable gift certificates on the website. Ready at a moment’s notice.

Go to www.kristymariemassage.com , go to schedule an appointment (on the online scheduler), at the bottom of the appointment duration options are a list of gift certificates.

Happy “Hanakawazmas” holy days to all!

Love,
Kristy Marie

One day you finally knew
what you had to do, and began,

though the voices around you
kept shouting
their bad advice --
though the whole house
began to tremble
and you felt the old tug
at your ankles.
"Mend my life!"
each voice cried.

But you didn't stop.
You knew what you had to do, though the wind pried
with its stiff fingers
at the very foundations,
though their melancholy
was terrible.

It was already late
enough, and a wild night,
and the road full of fallen
branches and stones.

But little by little,
as you left their voice behind,

the stars began to burn
through the sheets of clouds,

and there was a new voice
which you slowly
recognized as your own,

that kept you company
as you strode deeper and deeper into the world,

determined to do
the only thing you could do --
determined to save
the only life that you could save.

Client: When did you figure out that you wanted to do this?

K.M. : When I was young my siblings would always rub my back. I was the youngest of 4, so I was spoiled with back rubs. It was the one thing that has always been able to calm me.

I remember my best friend in kindergarten , Cherie, and I would hover our hands above each other’s forearms until the other person could feel it… essentially doing energy work.

However , it wasn’t until middle school that I ever heard of Massage Therapy. A friend of mines dad was a Massage Therapist . I never even met her dad! She lived at her mom’s full time. But as soon as I heard about this “Massage Therapy” , I knew I wanted to learn it.

I went to school for it when I was 20.

It wasn’t for some years after I began practicing that I recognized that I could do massage long term.

I have never stopped learning, I have never stopped practicing.

So long as God gives me life and well working body I will continue.

My gratitude runs deep for what this work has given me, in my experience of receiving it as well as in my experience of giving it.

May this dedication be for the benefit of all beings. As within so without.

How many times do we look outside of ourselves for the answers we seek, the answers that live within ?

Feeling is healing ❤️‍🩹

There is no way but through.

Sometimes the only thing we have to do to unlock our patterns is land in our bodies. Be it physical or emotional pain, stress, anxiety or depression.

GANESA SARANAM SARANAM GANESA
****************
Lord Ganesha is the “remover of obstacles” from Hindu mythology/faith/truth. Lord knows we could use some obstacles removed in this world. Where, are we trying to get to, though? It’s a long strange trip back to ourselves.

Be good to each other. Speak up about injustice in the world, and in your very own life. Be gentle and kind always and in all ways and keep showing up for exactly what is happening.

"The foolishness of others, the frustration, blame, and conflict we encounter, the struggle and betrayal can all be met with a bow.
They come to us as Mara came to the Buddha, to awaken us to compassion yet again. 'The only devils in the world,' said Mahatma Gandhi,
'are the ones running around in our own hearts.
This is where the battle must be fought.'"
~ Jack Kornfield After the Ecstasy, the Laundry

EARLY BIRD GETS THE WORM 🐛

TU/TH 5:30-6:30AM
Starting in November! (Nov. 2nd)

Early Bird Yoga starts this Thursday November 2nd, with Kristy Marie and will be offered every Tuesday and Thursday morning from 5:30-6:30.

Anchor into the season of change with a rooted practice which will ease us into a little bit fire, and a lot of spaciousness in our being! A dedicated and grounded way to welcome in this time of diving inward. We will be a candle in the darkness together.

It’s a commitment to begin anew, ground into our body temple. This class will be held with reverence. Sprinkled at times with song, and little practices to weave into our committed light bearing paths.

The world needs us to show up with our fullest selves right now, more than ever.

Find the rhythm of the early bird, getting a head start-spark on the day.

I’m looking forward to moving with you at Full Circle!

sincerely, Kristy Marie

11 years ago I met John Barnes and the Myofascial Release approach.

Something different started happening on my table, and I thought I was developing something new.

I sought out continuing education, so that I could get nationally certified for Massage Therapy (which I am pretty sure is not a thing anymore), so that I could further develop what I was learning and eventually start teaching it.

The first course that I ended up at I realized I didn’t have to develop anything… in fact I had a teacher that already knew what I was trying to figure out. A guide to help me dig into it all.

I immediately set out to accomplish all the prerequisite courses for Myofascial release 3, his expert course. 14 courses later I am here!

I had actually gotten in last year, but John had a terrible accident and it got canceled at the last minute. It is a miracle that he is able to teach still.

Feeling grateful and blessed beyond measure.

The first time I had body work done inside my mouth, I had a total aha moment. A moment where I fully recognized my brains ability to not consider how the tension that lives in my jaw was affecting my experience in my body.

It’s connected. It’s where many of us brace against the world. It can be totally subconscious until it releases.

Our minds are masterful at keeping us separate. We constantly go to where our symptoms live and speak really loud and do not consider the silent places being a true cause of the pain.

Working in the mouth can be helpful for headaches, brain fog, TMJ, back and neck pain, and many other things.

“The land knows you, even when you are lost.”

“Even a wounded world is feeding us. Even a wounded world holds us, giving us moments of wonder and joy. I choose joy over despair. Not because I have my head in the sand, but because joy is what the earth gives me daily and I must return the gift.”
