With Maria Alfieris andMagical Hands Physical Therapy Continuing Education Company– I just got recognized as one of her top fans!
I’m still mentally drafting my review of her exceptional retreats. Essentially, my life has been transformed each of the two times I’ve attended one of Maria’s workshop retreat experiences.
The Great Heart🫀release and cracking open that occurred this fall on the table in Aubrey, Texas gave rise to a massive relational reappraisal, reunification and repair process in my life, yielding stronger relationships, new connections, reinforcement of community ties and true release of stagnated grief of loss and closing of old chapters. I believe it was meant to close old gateways tied to life prior to the Great Heart Shattering of 2014.
This remarkable and intense heart opening and clearing gave my upper chakras a time to realign and amplify with some down time the last year as I worked to shed during the wood snake era. Many here can attest to how painful that became at times and how much work had to go back into grounding through the base (I am safe), energizing the sacral with movement and creative expression and play, boosting the solar with lots of positive intention and affirmation and power postures, and continuity of the heart work of coherence, release/clearing and alignment/opening right up until the end and through the portal to the Year of the Fire Horse on 2/17.
This demanded I be ready to “rise and ride” having received an abundance of horse medicine at The Medicine House in Aubrey, during my first fascia release training this fall. It was time to get real with myself and cut my s**t and “stop it” with the avoidance, especially in matters of the heart (relationships and my work).

My second training a couple weeks ago in DelRay Beach Florida, opened me in more ways than I have yet realized and I’ve returned with a newfound confidence in my competence and charisma as an individual living in this World, and my feet making more contact with the ground than ever before in my life—I even run differently.
I have returned with constellations of new understandings having been painted in the skies of my consciousness! 🌌
I’ll be bringing power to the people through the sacral—our center for sensuality, sexuality, creativity and play—our pleasure portal, center of gravity and location of our divine life force essence or Qi, the Creative Wellspring—it is the pump that primes the entire system and when we breathe into our hips during this kind of work (or any time really), we engage this Incredible reciprocal action mechanism whereby the breath and energy—vitality—rises up through the spine to circulate the Light! It’s brilliant, and so simple!!!

I’m forever transformed and ever so grateful. The physical and emotional unwinding benefits of this work are incredible; the personal and spiritual evolutionary processes that unfold with the catalysation that occurs during the profound “somatoemotional” releases which occur on the table are portals to what lies on the other side of held tension, pain and fear.
Don’t you want to discover what that is for you?
One of the best parts is that I met my bodywork partner and friend Marianne at our first retreat and we hit it off so well we became friends in real life, took in a concert together in her hometown of Toronto, Canada with my friend Trudy this winter and decided at the last minute to do it all again with an advanced level training in Florida incorporating foam rollers and yoga asana for added benefits of opening and stretching during release work.💃🏻🌿💃🏼
I love you, Maria!🙏🏻🫀🌟🪡
