meditative massage / energetic bliss / peaceful surrender

Meditation while giving massage. When I first finished massage school in 2003, it never dawned on me that my meditation practice would benefit as my massage practice expanded. As I look more deeply into my massage practice, I notice that when I begin a session, my energy drops much deeper into my core. It's almost as though my client and I have a shared sense of peacefulness. It's this surrender of holding onto...onto....onto what if's...onto what is the next step in our life is....on negative thoughts.....on to any thoughts....it feels so pure and beneficial. I feel so blessed to be able to share my body work with others. Giving and receiving body work feel so vital to my breath and growth. I feel without being the one "giving" and without being the one "receiving" I would not feel as energetically full as I feel right now. Massage helps me move forward in my life....

Namaste

The Benefits Of Massage

Today I worked with a client who wanted to know what exactly the benefits of massage were. I explained that there were many, and I thought it would be a good idea to share my top ten:

Top 10 reasons why massage is beneficial to the body, mind and spirit:
1) Massage increases blood flow and circulation.
2) Massage increases lymph flow. The lymph is an essential fluid for healthy body cells and tissues.
3) Massage enhances the condition and suppleness of the skin.
4) Massage rehabilitates injuries.
5) Massage opens and lengthens the muscles.
6) Massage creates more mobility.
7) Massage releases adhesions ("knots").
8) Massage opens blockages in the body, both physically and energetically.
9) Massage encourages deep relaxation.
10) Massage calms the mind and nervous system, thus reducing stress and anxiety!

Yoga Asana's, Stretching and the "Shake of Truth"

The “shake of truth”.... When one stretches the muscles, fibers break and then realign into the position that they are stretched in.

I believe that muscles learn the correct alignment the best the longer the stretch is held.

In my practice, I hold my asana's in an isometric position and encourage my clients to do the same. In doing so, this will maximize the full benefits of stretching. For instance, I was working with one of my clients and we were doing a hamstring stretch and her leg started to tremor. When that happens, there is nothing wrong - it just means that energy is flowing, muscles are realigning and movement is happening. As we discussed her leg tremor, she told me she had just moved from North Carolina and her yoga teacher there called the tremor the “shake of truth.” I love that saying.
When you are doing your practice at home, and the tremor happens, try not to shy away from it.....welcome the visitation of the “shake of truth”!

Namaste

Magic

I choose pleasure!!!

I see magic in my massage, yoga and personal training practice. Magic twirls with us, around us and in us. We create magic. We breathe magic. We are magic.

Angels look out for us, spirits guide us and fairies dance with us.

All we need to do is open ourselves up and listen.

Namaste

Pregnancy Massage

Giving pregnancy massage is so satisfying.

Relaxed therapist, relaxed mom, relaxed baby.

It is very beneficial for moms to be to receive massage. Pregnancy massage reduces swelling, promotes circulation, helps with aches and pains and promotes health! And......allows for deep relaxation.
