HEALING OPPORTUNITIES
What I Remembered in September

September is a very popular month for on-site massage for me. I had the opportunity to offer my services at three seperate and very different events over the course of the month: The Survival of the Shawangunks Triathalon (A.K.A. the S.O.S.), The Taste of New Paltz, and the Hudson Valley AIDS Walk.

At the first event, the S.O.S., I had the opportunity to treat elite atheletes as they crossed the finish line of one greuling and mostly uphill triathalon. Sports Massage and Stretching offered the atheletes a much needed cooling down period as well as a way to keep their muscles from spasming after their long race.
I REMEMBERED that massage therapy is a necessity for some atheletes wanting to recover quicker from high-level exercise.

At the Taste of New Paltz, Chair Massage was offered to the public as a retreat from a full day of walking around the fairgrounds with hand-made marshmallows, cups of clam chowder and cardamom-laden pilafs. It was a nice way for people to have a moment of respite in the carnival-like atmosphere and to educate them about the benefits of therapeutic touch.
I REMEMBERED that massage therapy offers people a way to relax their bodies and minds from the hustle-bustle of their daily lives.

Lastly, Chair Massage at the Hudson Valley AIDS Walk not only helped raise money for ARCS, but it provided touch therapy for some people who might never have had the opportunity to receive such services.
I REMEMBERED that massage therapy provides a basic human need - caring touch - that too many of us don't receive enough of.

I am grateful for the opportunity to serve my community in so many ways with the healing that Massage Therapy can provide.

Namaste,
Helen

SEPTEMBER GIVEAWAY!
Win a Book from Bodymind... Just for the Asking!

I am giving away one copy of Dr. Wayne Dyer's book, Inspiration: Your Ultimate Calling.

Click here to be entered into the drawing. The winner will be announced in next month's issue of bodyMinder.

Here is the book description, taken from Amazon.com:

There’s a voice in the universe calling each of us to remember our purpose—our reason for being here now, in this world of impermanence. The voice whispers, shouts, and sings to us that this experience of being in form, in space and time, knowing life and death, has meaning. The voice is that of inspiration, which is within each and every one of us.

In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Wayne W. Dyer explains how we’ve chosen to enter this world of particles and form. From our place of origin, in ways that we don’t readily comprehend now, we knew what we were coming here to accomplish, and we participated in setting this life process in motion. So why not think this same way? Why put the responsibility or blame on any one or any thing that’s not a part of us?

Each chapter in this book is filled with specifics for living an inspired life. From a very personal viewpoint, Wayne Dyer offers a blueprint through the world of spirit to inspiration, your ultimate calling.
