As I was laying on the massage table, waiting for the masseuse to come back, I was thinking of all the things I had to do for the day,and  it occurred to me that I was ruining the good feeling before it had even started.  I was forgetting to relax, forgetting to de-stress, forgetting to breathe.



I have read reports on the importance of taking a break, perused books on the benefits of massage therapy and spoken about holistic healing many times in my skin care demos.  Why then was I not allowing myself that time for my own healing.  I realized that for some, including myself, who at this point ought to know better, it was not a naturally occurring process, but something that had to be learned again and again.  It is that important and that necessary.

I promise to keep learning, to keep breathing, and most importantly, to keep getting those blessed massages!

Slowly inhale.....now slowly exhale!  Ahhhhh!
