At Peace

I feel my world changing again, and this time it feels really, really good. And I think this time, instead of trying to direct it where I think I should be going (like I think I'm the boss or something), I will ride along with it like a friend and take some pleasure in the journey.  I'm in a good place right now, and I'd like to enjoy it as long as possible.

In other news, this weekend I took a 2-day course in Thai Massage.  Oh. My. God.  I am still tingling from all the amazing energy and just the magical experience I had.  I feel a breath of fresh air has just infused me and brought along a whole new world filled with healing magic.  Sounding a little crazy, I know, but hey, it's me, and I get that way.  And I really am excited that I will be offering this beautiful practice to people who are open to it.

I just can't describe how amazing it is.  But I can describe how effective it is.  In layman's terms, I went there with chronic lower back pain, chronic shoulder blade pain, and a recently acquired pain in my neck, which seriously limited the range of motion for turning or tilting my head.  I left with all my muscles relaxed and elongated.  

During class each day, the presenter would ask us each to give a word or two description of how we felt.  The first time was before we did everything, and most of the replies were "excited", "nervous", etc.  Mine was "ready".  As we progressed, she asked again.  My answer was "relaxed".  The next time, it was "more relaxed."  At the end of the class, she asked one last time - this time she allowed us to use as many words as we needed.  My response was "at peace".  If you've read my posts over the last 2-3 years, you know that has not been present in my life much.  So, whether the others in the class knew it or not, this was a huge response for me.

And it's true.  I am so much more at peace than I was before I left, and I know it's because of what a Thai massage does.  It lines up the energy fields in your body in such a away that everything starts remembering how to work together.  It all starts remembering it's place, and pushing out all the crap we dump on it through what we eat, drink, inhale, feel, think, and do.

It is that amazing.  And I am eager to share it.
