BREAKING NEWS!

Namaste Studios, in Frederick, is Closing, but do not Freak-Out.

As usual, I am on My own, “Marc-Time”, which, is late but, to Me, it is 5:00PM, not only “somewhere” but here, at Namaste Studios, and it is time for the big “Reveal” that I have been holding back from You All. Surprise!!!!!

This one goes out to all of the ones I Love, to those of You who Care, which, most likely, includes You.

(Please, wait to “Share”, until I fully share with You, what I have to say, and how best to Share & to Help, if You will, Me, & Us.)

Pause, take a deep breath, then continue:

Hello, to You,

Cheers, Namaste, & Wabi-Sabi, from Me, Marc, on this most perfect of days, particularly, for what it is that I have (left) to share with You, each and every one of You, right now, and it is All Perfect, Trust Me.

To cut to the chase, Namaste Studios, LLC, will be CLOSING, at this location, effective today, and there will be a flash party, a flash celebration, a flash “Wake”, a flash sale, and a flash auction, tonight! from 5:00 until Midnight. . . . And, during this perfect time, occasion, & evening, I would like to call in all of My/Our friends, all of My/Our angels, all of My/Our debtors, and all of the people who I/We have helpped over the years, to be here, at least in spirit, to support Me & Us, on this very special evening.

During this perfect evening, and coming sunset, & coming night, ALL of Namaste Studios’ belongings & (reportedly on Google & MassageBooks), “Zen Decor”, will be up for grabs, trade, or purchase, only this perfect evening & this perfect night; so that, You & Yours will have this, very limited opportunity, to take receive some piece(s) of Namaste’s “Zen”, and of Namaste’s history, to take home with You.

In addition, most of My, Marc’s, personal belongings and art collection will be “up for grabs” this evening as well, as I will only be wanting & needing, those of My possessions that I need for Me to be able to be in Nature, to heal, and to help others to learn & to heal, and that isn’t very much that I require.

Much of the art that is here, is of my personal collection, pieces of art that I have picked up from a lifetime of travels, or I have painted myself, and every piece has a “provenance” and a “story”, but still, I just don’t need any of it anymore; as I will be traveling light, in my destined & decided future.

Like a “mandala”, wiped away, as a Devine lesson in “Impermanence”, that I am excited to receive, yet again, I offer you first, my friends, my collected “abundance”.

And there is all kinds other abundance here to receive tonight as well, practical stuff, for whoever deserves it. Artsy mirrors, artsy lamps, artsy furniture, artsy stained-glass pieces, salt-lamps, massage & yoga & workout equipment, my “big red couches”, my coveted Nepalese chessboard, and appliances too . . . by midnight tonight, with only a few “reserved prices”, on a few pieces of art being in place; otherwise, it all will be sold, or donated, or traded, by midnight tonight.

To catch you all up and to explain Why? Well, I would have to write chapters and chapters (that’s called “foreshadowing”) but, for now, just relax, trust me, and come celebrate with me this evening, any way that you can, from 5:00 until Midnight Tonight, at My place, Namaste Studios, 922 N. East Street, Frederick, MD.

Some of You, I have not seen in Years! and, I would Love Love Love to see You all!, even if you want/need to wear a mask, of any type, or, if You wish for Me, to wear a mask, for this occasion.

And here is what there is to be celebrated on this perfect evening!

And please Forgive Me, if I am taking You by surprise. What can I say? I am a spontaneous, Aries, with lots of places that I wanna go, adventures that I want to have, friends that I want to visit, healing that I want to do, new friends that I want to meet, more teachers & students that I want to connect with, and a “mission” of personal purpose that cannot be ignored, or shaken.

As a cumulative result:

* Namaste Studios, at its “brick & mortar” (synonymous with “chain”), location at 922 N. East Street, will be CLOSING, tonight, permanently, at this physical location, and having a party to celebrate Namaste’s & My primary goals having been achieved (“To increase the ‘career-life’ of as many gifted massage therapists, and other healers, as possible, in and around this special town, before I move on.”) and now, I have done that, and now, I, Marc, am FREE, to move on to My next (chosen) adventure and My next destiny.

* The most Excellent Staff, that has been a part of Namaste Studios over the years, and who have contributed, in innumerable way, to our contribution to our community, are spread out now, all around town, and further abroad, and I will be sharing with You how to connect with Them; so that, You can, potentially, benefit from the healing that they have to offer to You. . . . I will be sharing all of You, their 30+ names and contact information soon, and many of these, “Namaste Alumni”, in addition to being highly recommended by me, are also graciously accepting ANY Namaste Studios authorized gift certificate, pre paid services, or prepaid “massage-packages”; do that, anyone, including maybe You, who has “invested” in Namaste Studios, You need not freak out. Namaste is just kinda spreading its wings, but is still here, in many of way.

* Namaste Studio (Singular), will also be moving from this location, and will be wherever me, my talents, my good fortune, my guides, my karma, the weather, and my nose takes me. Just as soon as I can, “settle up” here.

More news, how You can help, or to celebrate with Me & Us, I will put in my comments to this post. Thanks!

Cheers, Namaste, & Wabi-Sabi,

Marc A. Melcher

ODE & OWED TO YOU, STEPMOM

As much as I love this special day
I know that it is as much of a slight as a celebration for you
You watch me hold dear and honor the the maternal mothers of my inner circle
The one who brought me into this life
The one who brought our children into this life
The one who brought you into this life
I see you there
I see you on this day and everyday
Standing in the shade and on the sidelines
No spotlight
No real holiday fanfare
You didn't ask for but gracefully accepted
This position of support and sacrifice
Even the stereotypes call you "wicked"
Would that be wickedly funny?
Wickedly patient?
Wickedly helpful?
Wickedly unassuming?
Wickedly skillful at not stepping on, tender, parental toes?
And that tricky dance that you do, how do you maneuver that?
"They need extra mothering . . but is that your place?"
"Come closer. No, step back."
"Please get more engaged. No, you are asking too much now."
"Follow my lead. But I do not know where to go with this."
That was not your job . . . But someone had to pick up those pieces.
They say, "kids do not come with instruction manuals"
Though everyone is full of advice
Still, there is even less of a sure roadmap when it comes to stepparenting
From them there is little help as well
Little thanks
Little recognition
Little cooperation
Little compassion even
Heck, little awareness of anything or anyone except for their own, insulated, all encompassed world of wants
They ARE amazing and beautiful children that we have raised
Someday, they will be amazing and beautiful adult additions to this world
You do, and have a right to, claim that contribution as yours
But they are kids now
They barely have awareness or effort for their own flesh and blood
Believe me, sometimes ignoring you is the least painful thing that they do to a parent
But I see you there
I see you on this day and everyday
Ready as ever with a nourishing meal
An extra jacket in your own backpack
A bottle of water, a bandaid, an Advil, or a 'kerchief
A ride
A reminder
A playmate
An ear
Words of comfort or wisdom for when they need them . . .
Or for when, someday, they again become smart enough to want to listen again
I thank you there
I thank you on this day and every day
I hold you dearest of all and honor you most of all on this . . .

Happy (Wicked-Step) Mother's Day! ❤️❤️❤️

Moms come in all varieties, and we'd love to help you celebrate yours!

What is Yin yoga? Yin yoga is a slow-paced practice where the asanas are held for longer periods of time (sometimes up 5 minutes or longer!) to really work the connective tissues. Where a Yang yoga is focused on the muscles, Yin yoga is really beneficial to the tendons, ligaments, and fasciae.
