Temple Goddess Journeys

Hi there lovelies I seemed to have been neglecting you haven't I. I guess I just wasn't getting enough feedback to keep me enthused. But....I just want to tell you about something new that I am up to. First of all I just want to tell you how this new direction occurred. Last spring after cranking out the massages and during spare time, going over and organizing material for my book, I left my yoga body behind. That had consequences. In March I became crippled. I have s...pent most of the time since then working my way out of the mess and then deciding to... share what I learned. Of course that meant I had to learn zoom...and still doing it because I want to make sure it goes smooth. It is more complicated than just joining a meeting when you are hosting. So hopefully you will be able to see what I have learned in my zoom classes if you have come down with arthritis. It is such a horrible thing. It is crippling and that is not good. That is when alot of folks just give up. No way I am. I have so much to share with the world, as you can see from my posts, that I have to e healthy enough to get my wisdoms out to as many people as possible before my walk on this planetary orb is up. I have already made a contribution which I have not gotten enough recognition and monetarization for. I see it all over the net with the new ideas on yoga and how bellydance has improved. Hopefully I have helped to raise the bar of massage too. Whenever you have something to add to the world, it is great. Oh and I have a new website. It is called, TempleGoddessJourneys.net..duh. And I also have a group page now on Self-Massage and Yoga for Arthritis. If you want a virtual private class just get ahold of me. It is well worth it. I have come a long way in my healing from my method. Viritual group classes will be available soon.

Merry Christmas everyone. Sorry I haven't posted for awhile. I am talking about my spiritual work on my personal page for awhile but hopefully soon I will be back on a regular basis.

What would you say you would like to see in a yoga instructor. What do you see is missing that you want to find. What would key you in that you have found the right one? Thank you.

I am afraid to post my vids because I am afraid that whoever has gotten into my fb acct will change things like when they gave it a title calling it bad ha konasana.

I just went to a massage appointment with the therapist that I liked. I thought that she was quite knowledgeable but no matter how much is learned in class, it takes time for them to apply that as an understanding. She has only been doing massage for four years so it is understandable. I came in with a debilitating problem in my upper arm which I knew only required the kind of precision deep tissue work that I do. I pointed exactly to the muscle I wanted her to work on f...irst and how far along I wanted it. It took 8 tries for her to find the muscle even though each time I showed her exactly where it was. I actually finally gave up on her next try and let her continue but she did finally start hitting it but alot of time was wasted. She was usually right off the muscle not even on the side of it but really going at it like she was getting right down to business. The unfortunate thing is that alot of clients will not know any better and just accept and use up their benefits with little results. However, alot of clients come to me because they are searching for a therapist that is really good and usually stick with me after. At one point I said that maybe she has an excellent technique for feeling like she isn't on the muscle but actually is haha. It isn't fair though that, that kind of thing goes on. In the end that muscle did get down to a functioning level but it still needs work. She did get to the cord on the left side of the bicep as well and since she did that second, she was much better at hitting the target. However there was not enough time to do the cord between those two others. It takes alot out of me to have to teach while I am getting massaged. It is frustrating and it drains me...and I am paying $100/hr. I, on the other hand get right down to business and work on what needs working on. Of course it helps that I am 98% accurate as I am asking where and my technique really makes alot of progress fast. It was bad enough but then we worked on the other area that was really bothering me. It would make me jolt when I moved a certain way. So I showed her exactly where I wanted it and then she asked if it is mostly on the ribs. Where I was showing her was the erector muscles along the side of the spine. I said yes it is mainly the ribs but I didn't mention that it was also the place I was asking her to work on because I thought I had already clarified. So she missed the place I pointed to but she did find a lot of places on my ribs so I let it go. I was pretty worn out by then and too soon the hour was up and I was needing more. The place I pointed to, I was able to work out with yoga in the end because the other places were loosened-up. But anyhow, I still like her because at least she doesn't get offended and I think she realizes that she can learn from me. See more

Let's see if this video, I did, appears
