  • Intimate Relationship Abuse

    Namaste How can Massage Therapy be of any help to women who suffer from abuse?  After a few minutes of persuasive conversation from a friend, I accepted an invitation to participate in a group chat about domestic abuse.  She understood that my contribution might have no straight line to the issue at hand, but she…

  • Learning to Lean

    Namaste Jagged Little Pill album on blast. Alanis is screaming at me through Forgiven in this moment. I’m nose deep in my blog archives and some of these experiences require spirits in a shot glass, but I’m settling for alternative rock. Come on down memory lane with me, again, if you remember reading this one.…

  • Mysticism and Prosperity

    Namaste Mysticism is a natural condition, which explains the millions who continue to be followers of the great Mystics like Krishna, Buddha, Christ… Their messages speak to and open our hearts, the place of love. The awakening of the heart centre and its perception is important to us because it is here that Union with…

  • 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…

  • 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

    Namaste I had the privilege of seeing a Therapist receive therapy and was humbly reminded that we are all a work in progress and that this life is about interdependence, not independence. We need each other. This gentleman has been treating people for years quite effectively. Now he stood ready to face his own reality:…

  • Coming from work…

    Namaste Coming from work… The driver advised me to be careful when crossing the road. She said she is always fearful for pedestrians in Trinidad. If there is an accident, there is great possibility of a fatality. She said she has travelled wide and far internationally and still feels that fear when she is home.…

  • Brazilian Waxing

    Namaste I got a text message from a Therapist stating that she has gotten a new client who has had a stroke and is suffering from severe pain whenever movement is required. She wanted to know if I had any suggestions to share. I started responding: You should brush him… Then I stopped, remembering that…

  • Massage Experiences

    Namaste A lady called to schedule a massage.  After parking she called to tell me that her aunt came with her and the aunt is accompanied by her two grandchildren.  So the aunt followed her, and the grandchildren followed the aunt.  Okay.  I looked out the door to see the posse.  Nobody.  She then emerged…

  • 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…
