about "my work"

Jun 24, 2003 20:31

I think I said in my profile how blessed and happy I feel to love what I do so much. But it took a long while to get here. Literally a lifetime for many folks traveling the planet. It seems, like with everything, that we carry embers from one camp fire to the next. So the expression of the stuff I have learned and applied is a lot of me. I can go ( Read more... )

I am really interested in your work... it sounds great. I did check out that link you sent the other day.

I would talk more... yet I am out the door heading for work.

hi, did you find anything good on the link? I'll see if i meet good folks where people live. I have a few I know on the west coast. But we all apply it differently. i wish I could work onmyslef and see what that is like. five work days before my "vacation". it's fun to live a little in the future!

Re: pcgeek13 June 24 2003, 18:19:57 UTC

sounds fabulous. would you recommend anyone in the boston vicinity?

G'morning,
www.upledger.com has a list of "practioners in your area" by state and zip code. i look for people with lots of CST and, especially, VM, after their names. if they have ME and ML, mo' cool. Physical therapists, massage therapists, some counselors, dentists, doctors and chiros study this stuff. And we all apply it uniquely, but the methods are good. i don't kow anyone personally in the Boston area, but will keep it in mind as I meet folks at the classes I'm going to. I think the person I'm sharing a hotel room in Las Vegas with might be from Mass. Anyway, well trained folks from the directory are: Cambridge, Lissa Wheeler, MT, 883-3882 (her training from this institute is awesome. She must be on the way to becoming a teacher.) Brookline: Felice Lazarus, MS, PT 617,738-6529; ah, here's my unmet roommate, Dorinda Galbraith, PT, 781-982-2645 (Hanover); Arlington: Tom McDonough 781/643-3554. good luck finding a great person to work with.

Greetings and Salutations creidylad June 24 2003, 08:45:35 UTC

Glad to finally be giving a direct 'hello.' I don't think that being exciting about work is nerdy -- everyone needs something to be excited about and heck, just reading about it, I am excited about your work! I do look forward to meeting you in July -- having known the acorn for so long, I'm keen to meet the tree from which she fell.

And thanks for the compliment (in M's journal) about my user icon -- it's a Mucha print, one of my favorites ("The Moon"). Here I am sticking an actual picture of me so you have some hope of figuring out who I am in July.

I'm the kind of the shy person who makes direct hellos when timing and opportunity seem present. it's that online etiquette thing too. I sometimes think I have spent so much time with my own company that I expound rather than converse. My clients often say what a good listener I am, so i must be getting better. So no snubs to anyone intended. i'm here and have actaulyl read M's journal an comments before. Even without the grand hat I think i will recognize you in July.

*this* is cool work. its the kind of thing i've love to be able to do; the listening is hard for me, still. (my other journal, which i don't update much anymore but has a lot of stuff about bodywork and sensing bodies and the ways in which the emotional component of the body interescts with the phsyical, is at contactkitten.

i'm always amazed by how much bodies speak...and how often we ignore them or don't understand them. and yet when we talk to them, they respond *so* clearly and quickly and without any delay or doubt.

don't hesitate to be excited; enthusiasm is contagious, and this is something which more people should be more enthused about.

(also, i don't still have your email address handy, but if you have time in new york around the time of the ceremony, i'd absolutely love expereince your work, if at all possible!! and of course i'd love to meet you.)

dancing omohyoid June 24 2003, 23:23:40 UTC

i read and skip read your dancing on contactkitten. WOW. can I go to your school? Dancing is one strong pull that eluded me over and over this life. My body kept getting sick, or injured, when i did very much.... discovering why is what got me into how I express my work and why the "movement" thing from a rehab bodywork perspective is what makes more sense and results than anything. And it's all about trying to find ways to "listen" to where the body is jammed, free it from the outside, and the big one that I'm learning ways to understand and communciate with folks I work with is to then, give someone the experience of feeling how movement is conveyed from the inside out. it involves turning on shut down, or never turned on, mechanoreceptors and proprioceptors and whatever else receptors need to get tapped with Tinkerbell's fairy wand and made ALIVE. It's liike having another piece of yourself to experience life with. You have that experience. I, because of my illnesses and stuff, am getting it and will find ways to allow lots an d ( ... )
