Did you know you might be able to use your insurance benefits to cover massage or CranioSacral therapy?

For what folks are paying for health insurance, I’m adamant that they should get the full use of their benefits and I’m no stranger to the system. Use those bennies before the end of the year!

Call your insurance provider to check your eligibility and benefits, you might be surprised to learn what’s covered.

Honored Body currently accepts Regence BCBS, Regence Administrators, *some* other BCBS groups, and Providence Health Plans, as well as motor vehicle accident claims that include referrals for massage therapy.

If you know your benefits and would like to use them, feel free to book a Medical Massage at honoredbody.com

“This is a moon about setting it right.

That call to rise you were experiencing most intensely a couple of weeks ago, if not for some time now—well my dear, there’s no going back now. You can scuff your feet on the threshold as long as you want, but what you’ve come from is already fading into the distance. There is nothing behind you that you can go back to, only the skills and tools and wisdom you’ve brought with you will be strong enough to build and reinforce your new foundation. Do not try to salvage during this lunation, but open yourself to the immense possibility that comes from starting. “

- excerpt from this week’s New Moonsletter🌙 in Libra

We’ve just started a newly intense lunation, and the next Moonsletter🌙 comes out on the Full Moon in Ta**us, Nov. 5

It’s easy to let overwhelm be an excuse for inaction.
Often change doesn’t feel possible until we realize how small that change can be.
A five minute pause, a reframe, a good cry.
What are you choosing?

A belated post from the New Moonsletter🌙 in Virgo. I don’t write the Moonsletters to be relevant only for the day of the New or Full Moon. They are prosaic transmissions of guidance and pattern recognition for the span of the phase. Whether you use the power of the peak of the Moon in your practices or not, the Moonsletter provides ample ideas and insights into using the energy available in the particular season.

See you after the weekend with the Full Moonsletter🌙 in Aries!

Not a healer, a Guide.

Although it’s often bestowed with great honor and gratitude, I’ve never liked the term “healer” for myself. It suggests a replacement to the responsibility of healing. In my experience and in my studies, I have found that true healing comes from within ourselves. No one person can be healed against their will, without their consent, or at the very least their desire to heal. Furthermore, the definition of healing is relative to the individual. You are your own best advocate, your body’s wisdom is far more knowledgable about what is right for you than I ever could be.

So what do I even do? Well, as a guide and an aid to your healing, I foster communication between your conscious self and your body. It’s speaking to you all the time and it will tell you exactly what you need. Through Restorative Bodywork—such as deep tissue or myofascial release— and CranioSacral Therapy we can access points of chronic pain or dysfunction in your systems that

While looking outward, feel inward. You are much more powerful than you think. When it feels like you just can’t take it anymore, I’m here to show you the way with tools and compassion for your own unique wisdom; so that you can take up the banner again.

Finally coming up for real air after that full moon lunar eclipse in Pisces.

“Although summer carries a certain promise of carefree expansion, autumn and fall sober our movements with more intention and precision. We carry a biological and ecological memory in our bodies, this season change is a potent one for our survival. Regardless of modern conveniences making mangoes available in Minneapolis in the middle of winter, our bodies still echo the old ways of preparation and planning for the months ahead. Schedules shift at this time, we reprioritize certain tasks and harness our gaze to what we have in front of us. There is a tonal change in how we move and work. When the leaves on the trees begin to gild at the edges and the wind starts to pick up through the valleys, we know these long warm afternoons will soon fade into cooler blue evenings. What is ripe for us now will soon go bad if we don’t take particular steps to preserve and keep it. “

From a Grief in the Garden session.
It was truly an honor to be in ceremony with the folks who booked these sessions. Each one unique and moving. The garden was the most idyllic setting, with the gentle hum of bees, and golden afternoon light dappling the table through the trees. At the end of each session the recipient was invited to pick a bouquet, and the collections of flowers that each gathered perfectly represented their process.

Thank you all for your vulnerability. 💐

“New ideas and communication that we receive now may seem like they are in conflict with who we think we are and what we think we want. But it will serve us to consider their alternative, as they can foster deep transformation of our individual self and our communities. We are still growing spiritually and learning to achieve our real dreams.

As we enter the season of harvest, we bring a basketfull of experiences from this summer, and the year so far. Let us begin to go through it all, to separate the chaff from the wheat, to discard that which no longer sits well with us. This season is about breaking things down, so don’t worry too much about how it looks. Find order in your mess. Dissect your findings. Chew on it, even if it’s a little bitter.”

Excerpt from the New Moonsletter 🌙 in Virgo

Besides running a CranioSacral practice and teaching (and riding and teaching centered riding), I also write!

The Moonsletter 🌙 is a twice monthly transmission of nature magic, a little astrology, a little Human Design, and a whole lotta heart for where we’re headed collectively and as individuals. Sometimes they’re short and sweet, sometimes I let myself wax whimsical about the cycles and processes of our given and created world.

I hope you’ll join me by signing up for yours to be delivered to your inbox at the link in bio. From there you can also learn about Honored Body’s practice, services, and myself.

See you at the next Full Moon in Pisces 🎏

The CranioSacral rhythm.
Constant expansion and contraction of the body with the flow of CranioSacral fluid. CSF is a smart fluid; we are learning it carries information in its composition, as well as its presence or lack there of.

A gentle opening and widening of the cranium, the shoulders, the ribs, the hips, the femurs, as the brain and spinal cord are bathed in this smart fluid. And a subtle contraction of our structure as it drains out into the bloodstream. It is not dependent on or interrelated with the cardiovascular or respiratory rhythms, and continues to function for up to seven minutes after every other system in the body stops.

A rhythm which holds so much information about the freedom or restriction of tissues, about possible infections or disorders in the body, and the state of the nervous system.

I follow the rhythm like a current until it brings me right where the body needs attention. By balancing the flow of this measurable fluid, we nourish the central nervous system and improve brain function, soothing symptoms of anxiety and distress, and allowing the body to begin correcting and easing chronic pain.

“In Aquarius, our relationship with progress, technology, and orienting toward community as much as toward the future comes into sharp focus and we can reflect upon how we have been showing up for our community and ourselves at present as well as who we’d like to be and see in the future. It’s a time to let ourselves think outside the box, beyond the rhetoric, and with active imagination. “

Why a Moonsletter🌙? Because we’re hungry for the grounding wisdom of seasonality. By stepping into rhythm with the world around us, we learn to appreciate our environment and each other more deeply, more wholly. We can nourish seeds of change from a deeper well of resources.

“Tension builds heat and this can feel uncomfortable in the moment, but your heart is a strong muscle and it deserves to have its power shared with clarity. Allow this time to motivate you to work on and heal past wounds with regard to how you’re showing up in your community.

Perhaps it has been difficult to be seen, to share yourself when you still feel like a work in progress; walk forward gently and protect your process. Maybe you’ve burned out from action, and you’re finding yourself frustrated or bitter with others for their lack of it; try offering yourself rest, ask for help from folks who are gifted at providing a safe and restorative space, remember we are all here to serve unique places in the whole. If you’ve become passive, or found yourself in a freeze state, get into some water or move your body to a friendly tune; you’ll be amazed at what starts to flow when you do.”
