Many of us go through our daily life not knowing the stress we carry within until we experience the gift of massage. A silent, distressful burden placed upon our neck, back, and shoulders. For some, the stress and tightness has been there so long this state can almost appear to be a normal balance for our bodies. Why do we choose to hold onto something that is so detrimental for our health and lively hood? I’ve experienced this state for myself. I have always been somewhat of a pack rat. OK, really it was a problem clouding the quality of my life and letting time rule me instead of making room for the new. Stagnate energy has made a good breeding ground for the habitually tight muscles in my neck and back. A few years ago, I was invited by my life coach to attended a feng shui seminar that helped kickoff the transformation in my life and made letting go fun! But nothing becomes second nature without practice.

Little by little, I have been able to let some of the material objects in my life go and shift my perspective from one without to one within. My muscles have reaped the rewards in such an uplifting way where it has changed what I choose to carry with me. Now at my massage therapy appointments every other week, I experience the art of being without doing in a very fulfilling way. My posture has improved tremendously, I don’t have the frequency of aches, pains, and stress in my day to day life, and even my voice has changed to be more relaxed and calm!

I am grateful to live in a time where the perception of massage as therapy is changing from one of a luxury to a kneaded preventive health care. Massage is no longer available only through luxury spas and upscale health clubs. Today, massage therapy is offered in businesses, clinics, hospitals and even airports. That in its self speaks with clarity! Get in touch! Make yourself happy and schedule your massage with Healing Roots today!

Life, gratitude, and the New Year!
Enjoy your life and be happy. Being happy is of the utmost importance. Success in anything is through happiness. More support of nature comes from being happy. Under all circumstances be happy, even if you have to force it a bit to change some long standing habits. Just think of any negativity that comes to you as a raindrop falling into the ocean of your bliss. You may not always have an ocean of bliss, but think that way anyway and it will help it come. Doubting is not blissful and does not create happiness. Be happy, healthy, and let all that love flow through your heart.
