Rest and Ritual

POV: you are an LMT who just came back in after your session, to see how the client is doing.

This one goes out to all the clients who get the post-massage sleepies. Sometimes you can feel light-headed or drunk! Folks with low blood pressure or problems with blood sugar should be careful getting up too fast.
One of the ways we know we did a good job is if our client’s hair looks like this, and they can’t string a sentence together.

Karen is stuck at the office for a few hours, so they’re gonna make it the timeline’s problem.
We do a lot of rib work here at R&R! Many of our clients end up having some kind of hypermobility, and ribs, with their cartilage in front and gliding joints in back, are designed to give way, shift, and break, instead of that damage occurring to the vital organs, kinda like car bumpers. It’s a little upsetting to think about! But this isn’t even the most disturbing rib-based revelation Karen has had…
(A starry night sky across a rocky landscape. White text says: ribs are just bumpers for the body.)

What’s a great way to get warm in the winter? A heated table and some hot stones while you get a massage with warming oils and heated hands !! Seriously, have you even tried it? It will warm you to your core.

This is one way we can use hot stones- place them on body parts that need some warm weight. We also use them with oil to glide and warm up the skin or sink into areas that need some pressure for tension release.

Ritual: smoke clearing with cedar

What rituals do you use to cleanse the energy in your space? Open a window? Spray some febreeze? Light a candle? Sing a song?

One of our favorites is using smoke from cedar bushes Karen forages on their way to work.
