Touch outside of comfort.

   There are twelve massage parlors within a mile radius of my home. Not too far away many of these establishments are offering a massage session for a very low price affordable to even the lowest of income person, and yet the crime rate and economic lack in our society has elevated higher than it’s ever been.

  So where exactly is the healing and wellbeing for everyone?

   Glancing out my window I can see beautiful pink roses that have grown and matured just fine this time of year, but they didn’t get that way due to self-comfort. Those roses had to endure a lot of challenges and stress to get where they are today. First there was the winds, then the pounding rain with chilly temperature, along with those conditions came the heat, and then just when it seemed those little fragile buds could endure no more low and behold  magnificent life sprang forth as being beautiful pink roses.

   What good are the challenges in your life if you can’t learn from them and grow?

    Life can get uncomfortable and stressful but it doesn’t mean we should keep pampering ourselves every time something feels painful, there is no learning in that. How can we possibly create a more sustainable society if every time things became overwhelming we booked a massage to make it all go away?

     Therapeutic massage is meant to assist you in your growth not stump your growth.

    The world was created through opposites. Day and night, light and darkness. The spring time brings forth extended life but at the same time there is also an equal amount of death. The more in touch you are with who you are in terms of conscious awareness the greater your perception and wellbeing.

    Let massage assist you in evolving, it is a gift and so are the many challenges in life.
