‘Happy Tails’

The happy tail wagging that dogs do isn’t just about being happy. It’s their root chakra. It’s an indicator that they not only feel happy, but safe, loved, and rooted. Of course, there are times when the tail wagging is associated with other emotions like fear or agitation. There’s a whole lot more info out there on what the different types of tail wagging means. When they’re scared or feel ashamed they tuck their tail, showing that they don’t feel safe, loved, or rooted. Birds also shake their tail feathers when they’re happy, being fed and getting treats. They also do elaborate displays for mating ritual dances.

If humans had tails we’d be wagging them too when we’re happy. Ever notice how babies love to be patted to sleep? When you pat them gently and rhythmically on the low back and bottom it helps them go to sleep faster. They feel safe and loved because the steady contact and energy feeds their root chakra and lets them know someone is there with them. For adults, it’s why we like to spoon and sleep with our root connected to someone else’s root. In somatic exercises, laying on a foam roller with it under the front pelvis and rolling from upper thighs to lower stomach can sometimes cause a kriya energy release, spasm, and even an emotional release if the person has stuck trauma energy in that part of the body and chakra. If you had a tail, would it be wagging like a happy puppy dog’s tail? Do you feel safe, happy, rooted, loved in life, or do you need to do some work with that chakra? An imbalace in that chakra can either be due to too much energy flow or not enough. I am available for chakra balancing massage sessions for my local peeps, so reach out when you’re ready.

Finally got time to update my massage website! They had some pretty new design templates too. New prices to stay competitive in the market and not low ball others, but still cheaper than the big fancy spas. Sessions are full 30, 60, or 90 minutes. I don't shave ten off like most spas do. And I've been licensed since 2001. With 24 years experience, it's time to come up on my prices, especially since these people fresh out of school are charging more and giving less.

Have you ever gotten a massage, and when you go to turn from face down to face up your back feels locked up, and it feels kinda stiff after the massage? Here’s a suggestion to try for your next massage. Ask your therapist if they have an extra pillow or bolster they can put under your pelvis/low belly when your face down in addition to having a bolster or pillow under the ankles. This keeps the psoas muscle from being in a stretched elongated state for too long. It flexes it, and puts it back into the state that you probably normally keep it in, like if you sit at a desk all day or sleep in a fetal position which keeps your psoas in a shortened position which has become its natural holding pattern. If you’re a stomach sleeper that experiences back pain, try putting a pillow under your pelvis and low belly and see if that makes a difference. I started putting the pillow under the pelvis for my clients that have Psoas issue and experience this, and they were amazed that they could turn over so easy and without pain. I’ve also started making sure I do this for myself when I get a massage as well. It’s a game changer!

‘Body of Chaos’

When you sneeze and give yourself a much needed low back adjustment! I sneezed hard right before I went to bed, and felt a jolt of pain in my back and then relief, and this was later after the psoas pop. It was like the sneeze adjusted things. I felt things crunch and pop like at the chiro. The awesome deep tissue massage I had on Sunday probably played a big part in loosening things up too, as well as the somatic excercises. I’ve started finding ways to make my muscles work in different ways by going through a variety of stretches and movements that it’s not used to. The body and especially the fascia gets stuck in holding patterns, especially so for people that have repetitive motions jobs. The muscles get conditioned to do the same routine motions daily, and on the occasion it does something drastically different, it just throws the whole fascia system out of whack. So, perhaps the solution is to make more drastically different movements on a regular basis so the body just gets used to new chaos. This is how to break the loops of comfortable stagnation.

I love this art piece below. I ordered me a print. This would be a great addition for a bodyworker or anyone in the holistic and health fields to add to their office. It’s called ‘Organized Chaos’ by Lyon Road Art. Link to purchase in comments.

Artist description:

“I wanted to make a painting that conveyed the chaos of various body systems crammed inside the body (I mean, this doesn’t even include lymphatics or muscles!) The functions of the body are just amazing when it looks like such a mess. The green is arteries the purple is veins and the pink lines are nerves. It was a labor of love that took half a year.

This print would be a wonderful gift for a med student, surgeon, or anatomy enthusiast!”

‘Feet & Fascia’

Most people don’t even realize how much the feet affect the entire body. Yesterday I did three massages barefoot. I only do one here and there barefoot. I almost always work with shoes on. I have high arches and have suffered with plantar fasciitis on and off, so I like having arch support with shoes when I have a busy day. Well yesterday I did three, and then I spent hours cleaning my house and walking back and forth barefoot. I woke up with my entire body stiff and achy today, and my feet hurt the most. I also didn’t drink enough water yesterday. Your fascia system starts in the feet and goes all the way to the head. Also, your feet are a map to the entire body.

So, my deduction is that by spending all day barefoot, which is something I’m not used to, it threw off the fascia of the feet, and then that system wasn’t flowing properly because of not enough water. When the fascia in one part of the body gets aggravated and forced to work in a different way, it’s like it sends a signal through the whole fascia web. So, the fascia in the feet got irritated and the ache created a ripple effect. Also, all three of the clients I worked on were new, and one had spent weeks traveling all over Asia, so that’s new energies I was exposed to while not being properly grounded and hydrated.

The feet affect the whole body, that is the concept behind foot reflexology. I’ve been a Massage Therapist since 2001, and I know this stuff but still forget to use proper body mechanics and be mindful of what I’m doing especially when I get caught up in cleaning or doing something that I’m not really thinking about the pain that it’s gonna cause until after I start feeling it.

But all day I’ve been racking my brain trying to figure out why I’m so sore because I didn’t do anything out of the ordinary to cause this all over pain. And then it dawned on me as I was thinking and wondering why the hell my feet hurt so bad, more so than the rest of the body also. It dawned on me that it’s the fascia and working barefoot and being barefoot all day that triggered it and sent the tsunami of pain through my facia system. If I was somebody that was always barefoot, and I had gotten used to being barefoot all time and working, barefoot, I probably wouldn’t have an issue right now. But it’s because my facia is used to always being in shoes when I work that it got thrown off. Just thought I’d share this. Take care of those footsies. ❤️🦶 🙂
