  • Massage and Mental Health

    Namaste There is much more talk now about mental health like it is something we discovered during the lockdown, (the Social Workers must be cringing) that I decided to see how many instances I can label.  In reviewing my journals I saw an entry from 2006 of conversation with an Editor of a magazine about…

  • Intellectual Distress

    Namaste Each time I go through the business handout I wonder whether I am qualified to talk about that subject.  When I look around at what is still potential I have to wonder if it is that I am lacking the social, communication, and reasoning competencies needed for success in this career.  I have clients…

  • Options

    Namaste I am on vacation (don’t ask where), but I’m still doing massages at my discretion…as if it was any other way. It was after 8pm when someone called to find out if I do massage and ting and I was in no mood to ask him to clarify what he meant, nor to explain what…

  • Lessons in Twine

    Namaste We arrive here with a ball of twine, and we skip and twist and wind and it gets all knotted up and we still don’t realize that the thing we are playing with is the number of our days. It is time. The time allotted to us on the face of this Earth. Thankfully,…

  • Primordial Attributes

    Namaste We’re in…the New Year. Doesn’t feel new; feels like my regular comfortable clothing with a few stitches missing in the seam or a partly loose hem. But I hope it is new for you, though I rather suspect it will not remain that way. It will toss up a few surprises…the old things coming…

  • Happy…Ending

    Namaste Sat down to write. Heard my gate. Heard footsteps. I waited. A voice called. I went to the door to see my neighbour with knitted brows staring at my ceiling accessories. He came to put me on alert that thieves broke into one of the apartments and left with a new flat screen TV.…

  • Massage Psychology

    Namaste On Monday I was out with a student doing massages for residents of a Home when I heard a jingle on the radio that Shadow, the Calypsonian, lent his voice to.  It was amusing.  After the amusement I asked why would anyone call themselves a shadow.  The word conjures dark shifting shapes in the…

  • Tobago Lime

    Namaste First things first.  Clarification.  I was asked if my last blog was directly referring to a certain person.  No.  As I would have said some time before, whatever I write is my internal dialogue; reflections and projections that we are processing; that we being us – me, myself, and I.  It is never directed…

  • Massage Business Plan

    Namaste I am always honored to listen to the business plans of the students…the similarities in their differences. One concern that has been mentioned time and again about sharing a business plan is that someone else might effectively execute it. Justifiable. But if the inventors had felt so strongly about their discoveries, we would still…

  • Massage – An Experience

    Namaste I had a massage session recently that turned out to be anything but massage. We sat talking about the intransient nature of God. The Being who requires no validation from Its creation to Be. It Is. The conversation took me back a few weeks ago when we (warily) looked at God as being Absolute…
