I traded massage for a session the other day. I got THE MOST AMAZING 3 hour Thai massage. She worked me up and down - twice. She’s kinda small to put so much oomph in it. Very thin and waifish. But I have massive sore spots everywhere, two days later. When she got done, I spent the rest of the day detoxing. I guzzled water like air and had a fever and felt woozy for a good 12 hours later. My skin, in some places, was hot to the touch - which makes sense, from an energetic standpoint. I’m not sure if there is a physical explanation for it.

I told her before we started about the posture thing I’ve been working on so she paid special attention to my hips. There were knots in places I didn’t even know I had hips.

I have this weird thing down the right side of my body that started when I was pregnant with Ethan. I THINK it originates from this perpetual knot on the right side of my spine next to my shoulder blade - which I THINK started with the tension of all of the extra weight both mental and physical. Anyways, I’ve been to chiropractors, which helped some. I used to get 15 minute massages once a week and he really would focus there and I would feel better for like a day. I think, overall, I just ignore it, really. I don’t feel it anymore, anyways. But she started finding where it affected my body and it literally tightens the length of my body from my toes up to the base of my skull on that side. It’s been so long since I’ve had it that all of the muscles in my body have adjusted to carry it - by tightening.

So… I’m going to go back to her for massages - she is, by far, the best masseuse ever. And I’m going to try hypnosis to convince my body to let go of it. I never even considered that.
