This is as good an explanation of what cranial work is and its effect as I have seen. It’s good stuff!

All true!

There’s a lot they can tell about you, from your occupation to your stress levels — and even serious health conditions.

WHOOOSH! (I know we say that every year, but this year, well, it felt like Christmas in July, and now suddenly we are three weeks away from the New Year! Plus it's fun to say WHOOOSH!) How can this be? And still, here we are. Hello there, last weeks of 2022! Thank you. Thank you for your generosity...

Goodness, just as I get my body almost right, I somehow, in doing my PT exercises, wrench my neck! This morning, as I ouched my way into consciousness at the god-awful time of 4:45 am, this phrase kept ringing through my mind… Why aren’t I allowing my body to heal? Which poses the further question, what is the lesson of my pain? What is my resistance to healing?

Hmmmm. I’ve seen the word allow a lot lately. I allow my body to heal. I allow my spirit to heal. I allow myself to release that which holds me back. I allow myself to receive healing. I allow only that which serves my highest good.

As you read that, did you find yourself resisting the concept? Does it create discomfort within you? Why are you resisting the allowance in your own life?

There has never been, In our lifetimes anyway, a better time to receive healing. First, we have to allow it to happen. and this begins with the phrase, I allow.

Addendum: after I posted this, I was ruminating further, and realized I used the term “my pain“ as opposed to “the pain“. Another thing to consider is how do you own your dysfunction? And is it more appropriate to call it what it is as its own thing, rather than some thing you yourself possess? I don’t want to possess my pain. I almost rephrase this post, but wanted to make this point. It isn’t my pain, it is the pain that I am experiencing.

I got this in the mail the other day.... I read it and thought "that's ME, that's ME!" about the amazing practitioner. I am so humbled and honored to have not only worked with this person, but for this to be the result of her session. It was important to her (important enough for her to make a bumper sticker from the phrase she had bubble up from underneath), and to me, and ultimately, I think, all of us.

How do I know when my body is healing and getting stronger? When I can wear and work in 2 different pairs of shoes that are not sneakers over 2 days and still be able to walk at the end of the week! What is your tell?

What is Energy Work?? A good general article to read if you have asked yourself that question. Or not. :D

Last night, I had a session with a very open minded client... It was purely energetic in its nature as was called for. I had heard part of a song earlier that day and decided to start the session with it. It was in fact the third tract from a whole album. Once we started and I felt the music, I realized we needed the whole album. I found it, and started it from the beginning, and skipped the third tract because I wanted to make sure we got the whole thing in. It was truly remarkable, and the best Chakra balance I have ever heard, much less worked to. (I realized later as I was processing it that we both saw colors and energy flying around the room, but at the time could not put words to it). We were both high as kites when we finished up. Could barely walk, had to sit for awhile before leaving. I highly (HA) recommend it to anyone who wants to dive deep. I will use it again, both professionally and personally.

We all need a massage. I maintain that if the whole world received massage at least monthly, we would have less anger and hostility. It should be a part of Health Care, paid for by insurance or Universal Health Care.

We often suggest to people as they are leaving to find somewhere and go barefoot on the grass for at least 5 minutes. Particularly after an intense session. This is why. With today's gorgeous weather, we hope you can find time to do this!

I finally got around to watching this last night. Well worth your time.
