Massage Minute #38
Let there be spaces in your togetherness
And let the winds of heaven dance between you
Love one another, but make not a bond of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your soul
-Kahlil Gibran
Namaste, therapists!
I’m sending this a little early because I don’t expect to
have much time available over the next several weeks. Especially with the
FSMTA convention quickly approaching the first weekend of July.
I’ve thrown in a fourth topic this time around. I’ve never embedded a link
to audio information but I figured it’s worth a try...let me know what you
think....
Is massage supposed to be painful?
Hear is a common massage myth finally put to rest by one of
my favorite massage publications, the Massage Therapy Journal; a quarterly
magazine circulated by the AMTA. For the complete article open the
Massage Hurt? pdf.

I get a lot of questions about this one and I was relieved
to see this article from the
New York Times. Enjoy!

advanced students, but others of you may find this interesting and
entertaining. Good luck!

PS. I think it’s wonderful that many of you use the
expression, “Namaste.” It is a beautiful expression and one that I am very
fond of. However, I recently asked someone what it meant and I almost
collapsed into apoplexy when I heard the response, “peace be with you.” So,
my fist is forced into the abyss of ignorance with a small glimmer of
knowledge and here it is:
