Health-Massage-Bodywork Tips

This month I went to Big Bear with my hiking friends.  We hiked 24 miles of the Pacific Coast Trail.  After the two big hikes, Diane and I, since June is our birthday month, took the plunge in Big Bear Lake.  Burr.  Ah, ski resorts in the summer are the best!

Last month, I met Richard Louv.  He had a powerful message, “If you want to heal yourself and the environment around you, then you need to fall back in love with nature.”  It totally makes sense to me!  How much time during the day do you spend attending to all your electronic devices?  Then compare that to the time you spend outside in nature.  What do you notice?

Run an experiment:  Spend dedicated time with your TV, phone, computer, etc. and then at the end of the day check-in with how you feel physically and emotionally.  On the next day take a electronics day-off and spend it in nature, playing your favorite sport, etc. and see how you feel by the end of the day.  I would venture to say that the “no electronics day” is going to be way more fun and insightful.

Spending time outdoors and with physical activity helps quiet the mind.  A quiet mind is free of negative thoughts and emotions.  Without these stressful distractions, you allow yourself to listen to your innate wisdom and you make decisions that are solid and supportive.

Summertime is a wonderful time to “fall back in love with nature” where ever you are!

Resources

Richard Louv’s books:

1) Last Child in the Woods is his 1st book that started an international movement to reconnect children to nature.

2) The Nature Principle is his 2nd book that provides a powerful call to action for the adults.

Do you identify yourself by the discomfort you are feeling lately?

Are you dependent on pain medications or considering splints and other supportive devices (like canes, shoe inserts, etc.), shots (like cortisone, steroids, etc.), and surgery?

Are you tired of chronic pain, tingling, numbness, always getting injured, experiencing stress fractures, and lack of strength anywhere in your body?

Do you want improved movement, better range of motion, and restful sleep?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, I can help you with the connective tissue massage-bodywork therapies I use as a part of my practice.
