Chateau 7: July 2014
http://chateauseven.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Chateau Seven Massage Therapy. When in doubt . Monday, July 21, 2014. The best teachers at massage school remembered to say, before we began working on each other, "Center yourself." Not one of them explained how. There are so many ways to come back to center! I wouldn't think of trying to name them all. It really helps to find one or two that work for you, and then practice, practice, practice, even though you will never reach perfection. The first part can be the hardest. Become curious. This requires ...

Chateau 7: Why
http://chateauseven.blogspot.com/p/why.html
Chateau Seven Massage Therapy. When in doubt . One of the reasons I'm a massage therapist has to do with the science behind this work. I am an anatomy/physiology geek, definitely. Warming muscle attachments, stretching facia and increasing blood flow, thereby helping the nervous system drop down one notch, supports every defininition of physical health. Therapeutic massage is both gentle and powerful. It is an ancient healing technique. That's why I do it. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). A Doc at Your Door.

Chateau 7: October 2014
http://chateauseven.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Chateau Seven Massage Therapy. When in doubt . Thursday, October 23, 2014. Medicine, sports, and superstition. Health and sickness are more a matter of luck - good and bad - than anything else. We have to try to figure out how to stay healthy, also how to heal when we're down and out. We are curious animals and we do not want to suffer. Looking back on some mainstream, accepted practices in the past can be alarming. Doesn't it make you wonder what medical procedures we are currently. However, even a plac...

Chateau 7: September 2014
http://chateauseven.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Chateau Seven Massage Therapy. When in doubt . Monday, September 15, 2014. In the Reyaverse there is no such thing. There is impatience, oh my yes. Impatience is a form of anxiety brought on by rushing. I learned to identify the urge to rush after which I tried to mindfully, purposefully slow down. The moment I decide not to hurry, there's plenty of time/space. The hour seems longer than when I'm anxious. Impatience disappears, and everything works a lot better. In this way I reduce my impatience. Emotio...

Chateau 7: December 2014
http://chateauseven.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Chateau Seven Massage Therapy. When in doubt . Wednesday, December 24, 2014. The Tail of the Secular Year. It's Christmas Eve. Happy Christmas! Whether you've been stressed out, rushing around, trying to get everything done, or excited, happy as a clam, or relaxed about it, at some level - for most people - the arrival of Christmas is a relief. After Christmas, in the U.S. we enter the odd tunnel between the old and new secular year. There are people who go to work, because they must or becau...The astro...

Chateau 7: A Short CV
http://chateauseven.blogspot.com/p/short-cv.html
Chateau Seven Massage Therapy. When in doubt . I became a Shi’atsu practitioner in San Francisco in 1997. After I moved to the DC area, I attended the Baltimore School of Massage where I completed a comprehensive program that included Swedish, deep tissue, myofascial release, sports and pre-natal massage, and therapeutic techniques for working in a medical and/or clinical setting. I’ve also studied craniosacral therapy, Jin Shin Do mind-body acupressure and am a Reiki Master/Teacher. For clients facing c...

Chateau 7: Immunity: the Mighty Warrior
http://chateauseven.blogspot.com/2015/01/immunity-mighty-warrior.html
Chateau Seven Massage Therapy. When in doubt . Saturday, January 3, 2015. Immunity: the Mighty Warrior. All these symptoms are caused by the immune system, not by the pathogen. Did you know that? Pushing blood and lymph around in the midst of the battle does not enhance the process. All it does is put a strain on the body which is already in a state of distress. It's like trying to fight a war when all of a sudden a tsunami rolls through. On the flip side of a cold or the flu, after the healing, 24 hours...

Chateau 7: The Dregs of Winter
http://chateauseven.blogspot.com/2015/02/the-dregs-of-winter.html
Chateau Seven Massage Therapy. When in doubt . Monday, February 16, 2015. The Dregs of Winter. During the final weeks of winter, it feels like spring will never happen, but it will, it always does. I trust that even though it's hard to believe with snow falling and temps in the 20s F. In the meantime, while we wait for spring, what doesn't kill us makes us stronger? I hate building character! I have plenty of that. I drink teas that are metaphors for Brother Sun. Currently my favorite version is Rish...
