Life Balance, Massage and Rainy Days
by Shann on Apr.25, 2008, under Life Balance
Last Friday the day started by lying in bed listening to the Spring rain tap dancing on my roof.
Stretching and allowing my body to wake up peacefully, I realized my tanks were empty. I was pooped and in desperate need of some down time.
Thank goodness for a scheduled massage later in the morning.
The week had been loaded with ” Shann – On” activities.
Parenting, coaching, writing, facilitating a workshop, teaching a night class and hosting a booth at women’s evening event.
Frankly remaining “ON” all week kicked my ass.
The morning rain was a symbol of renewal … We all need to honor our bodies with rest, relaxation and rejuvenation.
For me, body work is one of the best forms of extreme self care.
Here are some beautiful benefits of scheduling regular massage therapy.
- Alleviate low-back pain and improve range of motion.
- Ease medication dependence.
- Enhance immunity by stimulating lymph flow—the body’s natural defense system.
- Exercise and stretch weak, tight, or atrophied muscles.
- Improve the condition of the body’s largest organ—the skin.
- Increase joint flexibility.
- Lessen depression and anxiety.
- Pump oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs, improving circulation.
- Relax and soften injured, tired, and overused muscles.
- Release endorphins—amino acids that work as the body’s natural painkiller.
- Relieve migraine pain.
If you live in Traverse City or plan to visit our gorgeous area this summer, here are a couple of amazing women to reach out to for a fabulous massage. I am grateful to know and receive body work from these amazing women.
