Ritual Massage Reno

“Typically, the sense of touch is so omnipresent, and its effects so seemingly ephemeral, that it is often taken for granted or overlooked. We now know that its effects linger in the brain long after the sensory experience ends, and often without our being directly aware of it. Surprisingly large amounts of information are preserved as well. As such, a single touch has a far greater impact on the mind than one might have ever imagined—which makes the act of doing so all the more powerful.”

-Steven C. Pan, PhD of Cognitive Psychology

I love reading about touch from the perspective of psychology and cognitive science. It’s always affirming and always shaping the way I view what I do. 💓

Mask update:

For you: They’re optional and I am comfortable with whatever you choose.

For me: I’m still wearing mine and will be until the end of March. Beyond that, I’m happy to wear one by request (seriously, don’t feel weird asking, I want you to feel comfortable!)

For both of us: I hope that moving forward we all feel comfortable using masks as a preventive tool, pandemic or not. Of course if we are sick and we know it, we should reschedule. But if you’re in that space where sickness may be lingering, but isn’t fully evident… Like if you’ve spent time with someone who is sick, or just feeling a little sniffle or a tickle in your throat, or just a little off… please wear a mask! I will be doing the same 😊
