This is SO important... It's true to the extent that many men are too worried about touch to get massage therapy even when they're injured. Humans REQUIRE touch to thrive. Think of this... There was a study done with infants; half received regular massage, half didn't. The half who experienced touch therapy grew at Twice the rate. Touch is healing, it can break addiction, reverse body image issues like anorexia, and end PTSD symptoms (since that is stored physically, not mentally.) Please consider what this article has to say.. Dare to heal yourself and those around you by being open to platonic touch, for the benefit of all of those around you, and humanity at large.

This is a very interesting, short read. *As someone who has personally experienced the impact of regular massage therapy on Drastically decreasing my own somewhat severe PTSD (it's now nearly gone), I cannot agree more with the connections made in this article. I see it with my clients all the time. Trauma is a physical condition and experience, and not a rationally or emotionally held symptom of memory. Tissues hold trauma, it is an injury. It is absolutely vital to release these tensions and physically recover from these actual wounds in order to truly get over trauma, and to be wholly functional and at peace.

The vagus nerve, emotions and the difficulty with mindfulness practices

We all wish we could get massages every day, but that's just not very realistic at all for most people. But that's no reason to let all that nasty stress build up and gnaw away at us in between appointment dates!! So do your mind, body, and soul a favor by trying some of these de-stressing ideas --and be well! :)

This is a great little story. It saddens me when I hear that someone's never had a massage before (or has only had bad ones), and I just love getting the opportunity to give someone their first positive experience. When their fear disappears and they start wondering why they've been missing out so long, it makes my day, every time. :)

"[Phipps] was very kind, and told me to undress as far as I wanted to undress. Then, she left, and I was so relieved. I was afraid she was going to watch m…
