  • Massage Therapists – Born or Made?

    Namaste   My Dad was recently talking to me about leaders.  He spoke of people who like a certain role and assume it, people who are prompted by other people to assume a certain role, and people who are assigned to a certain role by their Creator.  It was a lengthy conversation.  As we were…

  • Massage Lessons

    Namaste I’m marking the last of the written assignments (Business) for students of the South class and I am tickled by some of what I see.  For example, one paragraph begins like this: The target market would initially be adults of a sound mind.  Does this mean that insane adults would be considered as the…

  • Massage for Healthy Breasts

    Namaste Years ago I had a client who used to be a Teacher before he stepped into the Oil Industry to become involved in Training. He claims he made the shift partly because he was tired of teenage students coming on to him. The difference in the pay cheques also played a part. Each week…

  • Zip-a-dee-doo-dah

    Namaste It was rather unwitting to have four holidays in one month. Someone ought to have known that it would backfire. Teachers do not want holidays during their holidays. Now that they have taken two days to rest and reflect there is a fuss. They still have two more to take… While they are reflecting,…

  • Stress Management

    Namaste When I showed up at Tanty’s door recently I found her mopping. She had forgotten that I was scheduled to visit. I tiptoed in and sat with my feet up on the chair…with her permission…and waited. She was also attending to a ‘junkie’ whom she usually engages to clean the yard. She had given…

  • Care for the Elderly

    Namaste I was visiting with Lady T last week. She is doing fine, by my definition. From her perspective, she is a tortured soul. She told me that Christ came here to Earth because his Father sent him to do something. He had a purpose, but this is not the case with her. She was…

  • Gabon to Trinidad for Carnival

    Namaste How was your Carnival?  Mine was quiet.  Remarkably, wonderfully quiet…except for the Jovert band that made a raucous along the Saddle Road early Monday morning.  When I got home from work on Friday, I did not leave my house again until yesterday.  That’s my idea of the good life.  So yesterday when I got…

  • Massage and the Pain Factor

    Namaste What is pain? Many are turning to Massage Therapy as a means of alleviating pain, which should mean that Massage Therapists know what pain is and how to deal with it. But do they? I’ve long concluded that pain is mysterious. We have gadgets with which to see air, but pain holds exclusive rights…

  • Happy New Year

    Namaste This thing about making it out of the Old Year and into the New Year could be as delicate as moving from one border to the next over a frozen lake. Getting to the other side is not guaranteed. Youth is not a prerequisite. The ice may crack suddenly and the cold hand of…

  • Massage and Scleroderma

    Namaste What if a person who is sentenced to life in prison was allotted a cell that progressively shrunk? Eventually the cell would become so small that he/she would no longer be able to stretch out their limbs. Soon enough they might resign themselves to a foetal position and await their death. But it is…
