  • The Big Picture

    Namaste I grew up hearing that every action has an equal and opposite reaction.  I relegated that to some vague concept of Chemistry because it was too scary to apply it to everyday life.  It works perfectly in that giving would automatically activate receiving, but when I think of doing good and getting bad as…

  • 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…

  • The Kernel

    Namaste In my recent browsing of the web I found a humorous article written about two years ago.   In it a writer with whom I have a curious relationship – I admire him without necessarily looking up to him – was criticized for writing columns that have ‘no coherent, developed thought on anything.’  I must…

  • Express Yourself

    Namaste We had exams yesterday and each person who finished retired to the kitchen for snacks and/or conversation before leaving.  When it was over I took up my post bracing the water dispenser as there was no more room left at the table.  I watched them eat ice cream, mocha chocolate cake, tortillas and sour…

  • Lights

  • Imagine

  • Milk and Nipples

      Namaste It is said to be a blessed thing to give. As Therapists we live this. We give of our energy and skills and feel blessed by the positive feedback we receive. And while this direct form of giving is good, it is said that the highest form of giving is the type where…

  • Masaje Storie

    Namaste The Spring issue of the International Therapist (journal of the FHT) carries an article about storytelling during massage being an effective tool for reaching and bonding with children. I too can recall drawing shapes on one of my friends back in Primary School. She so enjoyed it that she had tokens to offer in…

  • Hot Stone Massage

  • Gluteal Massage

    Namaste The dialogue in my head starts like this: Eh…watch nah…nah fuh seh nuttin eh, but ting nah regula wid dah man. I was having a discourse with Mr. Toco who lets me see a little more of his world each time we meet. There I was, giving him a massage in bed while he…
