Alas! After a long
hiatus from blogging, I have returned to give an update on the latest. Rest assured, I have been far from sitting on the proverbial butt and
procrastinating about writing —well, ok, there was some procrastination going
on. Anyway, your massage therapist has been busy “hamming it up” in the world
of local San Miguel theater performing in 2 separate plays at the Santa Ana theater: Inherit the Wind and Last of
the Boys. As if that wasn’t enough pork
on my plate, my wife and I loaded up some more meat and potatoes by breaking
ground on our new home!
Back
in early February, we were very fortunate to have our good friend, Gray Wolf,
come and perform a beautiful cleansing and blessing ceremony on the land. By the peaceful energy in the air —and the sudden convoy of burros,
campesinos and their perros nonchalantly strolling through— the
invitation was opened —I presume— for us to be stewards of our small plot of
land at San Gamaliel 66. We had begun to
realize our homesteading dreams!
After
just 20 weeks, we are all very excited at the rapid progress achieved so far
—our daughter, Camila, included! Now,
it’s just a matter of keeping up the pace, making timely decisions and of
course, allowing the wealth to flow inside and out. As all continues to go well, we hope to be moving into our new
“Paraiso” abode by December 21, 2012 —hmm, that date has an interested ring to
it. This will also be the new home of
Massage Essential and later down the road, my new Watsu services which I
hopefully will christen some time in 2013.
“What
the heck is Watsu?,” you say. Watsu is a
gentle form of body therapy performed in warm water, (around 35°C / 90°F). It combines elements of massage, joint
mobilization, shiatsu, muscle stretching and dance. The receiver is
continuously supported while being floated, cradled, rocked and stretched. The
deeply relaxing effects of warm water and nurturing support combine with
Watsu's movements, stretches, massage and point work, to create a bodywork with
a range of therapeutic benefits and potential healing on many levels.
Stay
tuned for more updates as the project continues…
