"Hands and heart are connected. Masseurs know well: when they touch someone with their hands, they create a deep connection."

“Grandma, how do you cope with pain?”
“With your hands, honey. If you do it with your mind instead of relieving the pain, it toughens even harder.”
“With your hands grandma?”
“Yes, our hands are the antennae of our soul. If you move them; knitting, cooking, painting, playing or sinking them into the ground, you send care signs to the deepest part of you and your soul lights up because you’re paying attention to it. Then signs of pain will no longer be necessary.”
“Hands are really that important?”
“Yes my daughter. Think of babies: they start to know the world through the touch of their hands. If you look at the hands of old people, they tell you more about their life then any body part. Everything that is done by hand is said to be done with the heart. Because it’s really like this: hands and heart are connected. Masseurs know well: when they touch someone with their hands, they create a deep connection. It is precisely from this connection that healing comes. Think of lovers: when they touch their hands, they make love in a more sublime way.”
“My hands grandma.... how long I haven’t used them like this!”
“Move them, my love. Begin to create with them and everything within you will begin to move. The pain will not pass away. And instead what you do with them will become the most beautiful masterpiece and it won’t hurt anymore. Because you have been able to transform its essence..

Excellent stretches. Just make sure to go very slowly with deep breaths.

Keeping it simple...

Early on in my 30 year career as a body worker I realized the importance of simply stretching.
Every other animal on earth innately knows the importance of stretching. Every SINGLE one, except for humans.
For the sake of our mental & physical health, we need to relearn this. When you make an appointment with me I will show you specific stretches to help your body heal itself. :)

Too cutie for words!
