Rice Experiment Week 2 (Why Cooked Rice?)
This week, a friend asked why I used cooked rice? (As opposed to dry, uncooked rice.) My answer was, “water”. “Water” According to Masaru Emoto, in his book “The Hidden Messages in Water”, water holds information. He figured out a way to freeze water at just the right temperature so it would form ice crystals on the surface of the water sample. He then figured out how to photograph the ice crystals. (More complicated than it sounds.) Emoto took samples from a variety of sources of water to see if the different qualities of water would form different crystals. Turned out they did. Samples from chlorine-treated water wouldn’t form full…

Maple Syrup flavored Christmas Spirit
I was blessed this holiday season to witness pure Christmas Spirit flowing from a client’s heart space during their massage session. 💗This client and their spouse had recently purchased and gifted items of a list of basic needs to a local family in dire need. The joy and love that this act stirred within my client was palpable. As this beautiful client told me their story and shined with the kind of joy that only comes from a truly altruistic act of kindness, I felt my own heart resonate and swell with vicarious joy! Wow, that’s powerful! After they told their story, we began their massage. Right away, I was…

Massage and Art
I love doing massage! I’ve always felt that massage helps me tap into an artistic side of myself, creating something beautiful (the experience), bringing joy and better health into the life of another, right along with their hopes, intentions and collaborations. Reading people’s bodies, seeing their structural patterns, feeling their energetic flow, also where they are not energetically flowing; feeling their hesitation/discomfort/anticipation give way to being in the moment and in the flow of the unwinding of their tissues; knowing that there’s an internal process of the relaxing of their nervous system and the increase of their dopamine response unfolding under my hands, ushering them into a state of deep…

Anxiety and Stress
We see Anxiety everywhere today. I even see it on my massage table occasionally. Definitely I see the effects of stress pass through my office daily. Could it be that we move so fast in our world nowadays, that we just don’t quite know what it feels like to slow down anymore? Or perhaps, even for those who have less-busy schedules but still experience anxiety, could it be they are accustomed to hearing/thinking/feeling enough negativity/fear/anger (which all have a busier, frenetic kind of energy as compared, to say, peace/love/joy) in their lives, that it is what they tend to focus on by default? Wouldn’t it be nice if we could…

Winter Blues
Here we are again, deep into another Minnesota Winter! Only 2-3 more months to go before the sweet relief of warmer weather and longer daylight hours are here again. 😉 But for those of us that struggle with Seasonal Affective Disorder (S.A.D.), 2-3 more months can feel like an eternity. This past Fall, I prepped a little extra in an effort to make the long-haul of this year’s Winter experience more enjoyable. Don’t get me wrong, Winter has it’s enjoyable perks. I love slowing down to a pace where I can really hear my thoughts and contemplate the dreams I have for this life. Marty and I love being snuggled…
