I find it interesting that a client of mine from IRELAND is turning into a regular! She may even come more regularly that my local locals! Tsk Tsk on my locals!
After her recent massage she did share this, “it was worth coming the 3,000 miles!”
Shoulder stand for yogis has been dubbed “natural yogi botox” …well here is more news…massage and facials are a little secret weapon to looking younger!
Proof positive.
Today I received a phone call from a client, “D” who works with a regular clientèle. On two separate occasions a client of D’s complimented D on her skin complexion and how great she looked. Much to D’s amazement, theses compliment came BOTH within a week after receiving her massage at TaoMassage! Needless to say D’s somewhat regular appointments at TaoMassage “are working” according to D! I’d say! We can’t be more pleased!
Here’s how to Look Younger Without Plastic Surgery
Five strategies for shaving years off your appearance from MSN.
One of the FIVE…you guessed it…MASSAGE! Who needs all that expensive anti-aging products when you can anti-age your whole body (mind & spirit!) with massage! Much more worth it!
It seems like a “no-brainer” to me..but now research is backing up WHY things like diet soda is bad for you. I’m sure there are other articles like this out there for “non-fat” “low-fat” claims as well. It just supports the age old adage, “everything in moderation”. You are better off eating REAL butter, REAL sugar, etc than some artificial substitutes that trick your body into thinking you are eating something else!
TaoMassage will host Tea Master and Top Duck, Jane Sandlar, of Ducky Life Teas, to lead a spiritualiTEA MEDITATION and tasting.
Delight in the “agony” of the leaves and ponder a deep spiritual question at this tea meditation ceremony. Fashioned in part, after the great tradition of Eastern Tea Ceremonies (Japanese, Korean and others), this ceremony is designed to teach you a little about tea and a lot about
yourself. Every great culture has a tea ceremony, except America, until
now.

It was a snowy, icy weekend, yet another fulfilling SHAKE YOUR SOUL workshop. Just 3 more weekends to go and I can debut the Shake Your Soul dance classes. I can’t wait. This weekend we dabbled in some somatic processing, the SomaSoul at The Leven Institute, working with animal guides, embodying words through movement, using color crapas and paper for expression.
But before diving into that weekend on the way up Lenox, Massachusetts, I intentionally left earlier than usual to stop in at Hawthorne Valley Farm, a BIO-DYNAMIC! farm in Ghent/Harlemville NY. I got as far as the Farm Store as there isn’t much else you can do in the snow. While there I FINALLY purchased a crystal for my cell phone that turns harmful EMFs (electro magnetic frequencies) into beneficial frequencies. While reviewing the website of the manufacturer EMFBlues.com I ran into several other interesting links…which sent me into an EMF tailspin! WOW who knew…read up!
Interesting to read how we are bombarded by electromagnetic and geopathic stress–something we generally don’t feel, see or hear, and how it affects us. Now I better understand why people protest/object to cell phone towers in their neighborhoods, are those really “cell phone boxes” on the curb?; why we may experience headaches after talking on the cell phone for too long; satellite radio emfs and the “no more bees=no more food for humans=no more humans” connection. EMFs are real.
Interesting about air plane travel! Once somebody told me of an air line pilot who was dying of a debilitating disease…my guess was from the controls in the cockpit…but seems as though air travel is filled with more radiation than a chest x-ray…interesting.
BELOW IS SOME OTHER EMF web info that I found compiled on this one website…good links to important info…EarthRainbowNetwork.com
Cell Phone Tower Search : Find Cell Tower Locations - Towers By Major U.S. Cities
Cell-Phone Towers and Communities: The Struggle for Local Control
“Consumers point out that those who use the cell-phone handsets are engaging in voluntary exposures, even though handset safety also remains unresolved, according to the FDA and many industry insiders. But those who live near the towers are being forced into involuntary exposures, often after incurring great legal expenses in trying to stop the installations.”

I’d like to visit the Lucky Chocolate shop one day…ROAD TRIP!
ORGANIC CHOCOLATE and chocolates made by Lady Luck! I’m just calling her that!
The Lucky Chocolate Lady on YouTube.
While looking for luck in all the right places…I also came across these websites you might like:
I receive intelligent information from Christiane Northrup, M.D.
Recently she noted on that the FDA is strongly considering banning the use of estriol, a naturally occurring estrogen, by compounding pharmacies. Why is this important? Because one ban leads to another..THE SLIPPERY SLOPE EFFECT!
To contact your Congressmen regarding this or other natural solutions that may be denied to you, use the Project: F.A.N.S. website to easily send your Congressman a letter expressing your views. Sample letters provided and are just a click away.
Letter writing is a lost art.
Now is your chance to do be a little traditional! Send a LOVE NOTE from one of these “lovely” cities!
For those family, friends who appreciate a letter and inspect the whole package…the keen ones will pick up on the “from” location..and it’s really cool when they see WHERE it came from in spirit of the Valentine holiday!
Just enclose your pre-addressed, pre-stamped Valentine’s card in a larger envelope (along with a note asking for your Valentine to be hand-stamped and mailed) and mail to the ATTN of the POSTMASTER or POSTMISTRESS from the state you would like it sent from. Hand canceled and stamped Valentines from “lovely” cities are a charming way to show you planned ahead and cared enough to send the very best, with love.
Your still in time. Send Valentines between late January and early February.

here are a couple of ideas how you can “get creative” when counting the ways to say I love you:
1) Let’s learn how to give each other massage
2) TaoMassage hosts a Massage Instruction for Couples workshop, individual and group session!
3) I just want to receive a massage at the same time as you…TaoMassage offers Couples Massage, room for two in the same room. Tables set-up side-by-side.
3) Not ready to explore your own power of touch, but know somebody that will appreciate massage, send them a TaoMassage gift certificate
Upon waking this morning I couldn’t figure out if I had slept or not! I went to bed late, yet woke up naturally at 8am feeling refreshed, yet as if I hadn’t slept.
I woke up flooded with ideas for upcoming projects I am working on which would tell me that I slept well—as a good sleep indicates a sound mind and body.
But last night I actually FELT that my body was not relaxing into sleep, the mattress, etc. I translated this and finally understood and felt what it means to “RUN ON STRESS” which I always thought that I had but it never manifested itself to this degree. Other may argue that the migraine post I made a few days ago is also a manifestation of stress…agreed. Some other contributing factors to “sleep loss” could be ate night snacking, not being on a regular sleep schedule, or that the body is in need of a massage for overall relaxation/removal of stress—makes me think of EVEN FLOW by Pearl Jam!
What did I do? What did I do wrong to come home at the end of the day with a screaming migraine, making it hard to drive/see. I eat healthy, exercise…All I wanted to do is close my eyes, I can’t think straight. The only cure is to shower off the painful chi, and sleep the painful migraine away to hopefully wake up the next day refreshed.
I thought I was getting a little sick so I decided to make myself some nice miso soup and eat some citrus…earlier that week…little did I know that those were likely triggers that did me in! Turns out that that salty miso soup and citrus grapefruit are two big NO NOs for migraine sufferers. I don’t think I suffer from migraines, but these to dietary triggers DID NOT HELP. Other good items to stay away from while under the brain pinch are: salt, citrus, dairy, chocolate, and caffeine.
I thought to make this post after recently speaking with clients who are looking for migraine relief.
Also helpful is DAILY back of the head and neck massage to keep circulation to the head. A topical option is the MyGraStick I carry in the office or some essential oil therapy blend of peppermint, lavender and menthol.
