These are strange and challenging times, indeed. What can we do when difficult emotions rise up within us - anxiety, fear, anger, panic? One answer is always available to you, anywhere and at any time. Breathing.
Shallow breathing limits the diaphragm's range of motion. The lowest portion of the lungs - which is where many small blood vessels instrumental in carrying oxygen to your body's cells reside - never gets a full share of oxygenated air. That can make you feel short of breath and anxious. Mindful, deep breathing encourages full oxygen exchange - the trade of incoming oxygen for outgoing carbon dioxide. It slows the heartbeat, lowers or stabilizes blood pressure, settles the nervous system and provides an almost immediate sense of calm.
In this short TED talk, breath work teacher Max Strom offers wisdom about the healing power of breathing.
If you are experiencing any signs of being sick, please reschedule your massage therapy appointment.This is a new one!: If anyone in your intimate circle of friend and family is experiencing signs of being sick, please reschedule your massage therapy appointment. You might be a carrier of illness. I am asking you to think preventatively.
When are you contagious?
According to the Centres for Disease Control, symptoms don't necessarily show up until 1 to 4 days after the virus enters the body. That means that you may be passing your illness on to someone else before you know you're sick.
Let's all be safe and take care of each other! Thank you for your consideration.

"Fascial Rebalancing is a method of soft tissue manipulation that restores your balanced relationship with gravity. The practitioner uses their hands and elbows to work your muscles and connective tissues, using a slow, direct, and sensitive pressure. The work is designed to unwind whole body tension patterns, while at the same time gradually uncovering your body’s natural length, resilience, and graceful ease. Fascial Rebalancing was developed by Structural Integration practitioner and mindfulness teacher Craig Mollins. The method brings together two main streams of teaching: a ten-session protocol that balances the human structure with gravity, and mindfulness-awareness practice that synchronizes body and mind in greater harmony. Fascial Rebalancing incorporates these two streams to create a system of connective tissue manipulation that brings together body, mind, and the field of gravity."
