  • Passing Strangers

    Namaste Tell me something…you believe in New Year’s resolutions? I do. True? I don’t think a person like you believe in those things. A person like me? Now what would he know about a person like me? I was on my way to get a taxi when he called to me. Yet another driver going…

  • 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…

  • Getting it Right

    Namaste This is me…trying to be brief and relevant.  Part of our conversation on Saturday morning evolved around body mechanics.  My main point was that instead of being the voice outside the head saying when and what to shift to avoid resultant pain, let’s try for bodily awareness.  Sure, I have my role to play, but given…

  • Imagine

    Namaste How did the Christmas season treat you? Mine was all over the place. So I’m sitting here reflecting while listening to Sandi Patti: In The Name Of The Lord. On repeat of course. It’s one of those songs you never get enough of. I remember a time in Church history when you proved your…

  • Inner Massage

    Namaste It is always interesting how I never know what I am going to write about next, then something happens and a long string of words ensue. Let me tell you what happened…  My friend called to thank me for loaf of bread I sent her and inquired of the ingredients as she felt we…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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,…
