This is absolutely beautiful.  So grateful someone shared this with me!

This is a really great article.  His basic premise is that the human brain is neuroplastic, meaning malleable, and that we can take control over which direction our brains go.  At the end, he talks about absorbing the positive experiences, letting them sink into your consciousness.  I’ve been saying exactly the same thing at the end of massages for years!  Great to get validation that I’ve been on track and have been helping my clients develop themselves in positive directions.  Another big plus for massage!!!!

How to Trick Your Brain for Happiness

A client just sent me this article and I think it’s a great reminder to simply take a moment and stop whatever it is your doing, especially if it’s unproductive and just take a breather for a minute.  But read the whole article because the author says it much better than I do anyway:

I just saw this article on Fascial Fitness that I think is worth sharing.  In it, Thomas Myers explains how the fascia has been ignored for years and is now finally being studied and it’s true value is being sorted out.  My clients have heard me speak about the Fascial Web and how we are all connected underneath our skin, but this article really clarifies things.  After you’ve read this, go to my post with “The Fuzz Speech” where you’ll see a video that shows what’s going on under your skin.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did,

In this interview and demonstration, Peter Melchior shares with us some of the lessons he’s learned after years of Rolfing.  He was one of the original people that Ida Rolf picked to carry on her legacy.  There’s a lot of wisdom in this man who recently passed away.  Thank you Peter!

I’ve been referencing Gil Hedley’s Fuzz Speech to a number of my clients lately so I thought it was time to post a link for it.

Using cadavers, he gives a lesson on the importance of movement and stretching to maintain the sliding properties of tissues in the body, as well as the value of bodywork modalities and yoga when movement potential has become inhibited.
