Note to Self

Ben Brown, LMTSeptember 28, 2017 Comment

Tomorrow I’ll be on a panel at Pacific College of Oriental Medicine to speak with new graduates from their massage program. .
I’m thrilled by the opportunity because I want to give back to my community and in turn help more people as the next wave of therapists go out into the field.
.
One of the thoughts I will share with them is that your body is a gateway to the deeper parts of you and that self care and awareness are keys to your satisfaction. It’s important to really listen to your body as you navigate your daily tasks. It’s hard to function at your best when you hurt or your movement is restricted.
.
Maintaining a flexible body allows for better movement, reduces the risk of injury and improves your energy levels. It also encourages blood flow which aids in muscle recovery and other body functions.
.
I’m a big advocate for using a ball to address areas of tension in the body and love how effective they can be to pinpoint and release bound tissue. Whatever you like to do or use, it’s just important that you care for your body and keep it mobile, especially when your work is physical.
.
How are you staying flexible?

WELL Festival Brooklyn 2019 is in the books. Thank you @wellsummit for having us. I had a brilliant time meeting so many Wellness pioneers. Thank you team @citywellnesscollective and of course @thisgalthrives @acupunctureannie and @reikihealingworks . .
It’s was fun to present LUSH and various other ways to address your body. If you signed up for our email list be on the lookout for a special offer landing in your in box.

Thank you all for stopping by and making the event a success.

Even after 14 years of bodywork, I still get nervous when someone gets on my table. I consider the reasons that person is here and the fact that they chose me. I check in with myself to see where I am and how I can perform. I listen to my body as it listens to theirs. The music starts. The dance begins and the nervousness becomes excitement.⠀
.⠀
This Saturday 5/11 you should stop by the @citywellnesscollective booth at Well Festival Brooklyn 2019 by @WELLSummit. @acupunctureannie and I will be doing demos of LUSH at the top of each hour.⠀

There's a new playlist up and ready. I'm excited by this mix of tracks. I will say that 20 Amazing Massage Tracks is softer than April's list. However, there are a lot of subtle shifts and many of the pieces are quite complex in their "simplicity." Link is in the bio. Feel free to share this free mix with others. ⠀
