  • 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,…

  • 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…

  • Sea Bath

    Namaste Last week while I was visiting two of my client at a Home, my Muslim friend, who also resides there, called out to me saying that he would like to have massages done also. I told him that he had to advise his son who will then permit me to do so. We have…

  • Rosebush

    Namaste After weeks of nods and smiles and thank you and I love you, my Chinese friend has decided on conversation again. My last visit found him in bed sleeping near lunchtime. I learnt from the Nurses and some of the residents that he was up all night. He did a tour of the place,…

  • Rebirth

    Namaste I was enjoying the morning breeze on the porch while massaging a client at the Home when a gentleman emerged from the doorway with a walking stick in hand. There’s a Therapist here and no one informed me? I’ve never seen him before. He said that he arrived at the Home last week (after…

  • Dry Brushing

    Namaste After all the talk about ethics I find myself brushing one of my clients, for about 15 minutes before each massage.  The scandalous part is that he is 94 years old.  I figure that Peter is on annual leave so no one is allowed access to the pearly gates at this time.  But, someone…

  • Massaging HIV/AIDS Clients

    Namaste When I think of HIV/AIDS red ribbons and African faces flashing across the television screen come to mind.    Words like retroviral, cocktails, discrimination, safe sex, latex condom, get tested, etc. are some of the words I recall, never is the word ‘friend’ associated with the disease.  Yet I have had a few friends who…

  • 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…

  • Sound Massage

    Everything is created by sound.  This means that as humans we too were created by sound.  However, quite often we are out of tunes with ourselves.  We lose our inner sound and therefore experience many kinds of physical and mental diseases.  Many of us live in an environment of unhealthy sounds; we are exposed to…
