“Right pain is not only constructive but also exhilarating and involves challenge, while wrong pain is destructive and causes excruciating suffering.” BKS Iyengar

Good pain vs bad pain is something that comes up quite often with my clients. Pain is a message from the body and how we interpret this can depend on the quality of communication between the mind and body.

“Pain is your guru.” — B.K.S. Iyengar, Light on Life This bold teaching from B.K.S. Iyengar often provokes discomfort—not just because it involves pain, but because it asks us to reconsider our relationship with difficulty altogether. What if pain—whether physical, emotional, or mental—w...

“When postmenopausal women with low bone density added 30 minutes of supervised high-intensity resistance and impact training…twice a week for eight months, the bone density in their lower spines increased by 2.9 percent on average”

'Our generation wasn’t taught to go after strength. This feels so much better.'

In order to heal you must first feel safe.

This might be healing physically from an injury or illness. Maybe healing needs to happen in the mind, after long term stress or anxiety. Often healing needs to happen to the person as a whole. We all need to heal.

There are many tools available to us aimed at relaxing the body and mind. These can be wonderfully effective and whether you find massage, reiki, acupuncture, walking, meditation, yoga... (the list goes on and on...) are right for you, it is imperative that you feel safe in your body, in your environment and in your own mind, before you can really being any healing process.

When was the last time you danced around your kitchen? Or marched up a hill? Or sat crossed legged on the floor playing with your children or grandchildren?

Does the thought of doing something like this fill you with dread? Does your body feel like it may never move freely again?

The longer that your muscles and soft tissue hold tension, the less agile you become. It can soon become a negative spiral of aching, pain and less and less movement.

Perhaps you are already limiting what movement you do as you worry it will cause pain?

Holistic massage therapy can be an excellent tool in easing this tension. I work with many people to slowly but surely help them back to a state of comfortable movement.

You may surprise yourself with what you are able to do when your body feels a little more comfortable!
