Shiatsu grounding

I went for my first Shiatsu massage today. I had one years ago but never returned,even though I really LOVED it back then. Today's massage was an excellent, forceful and grounding experience.. The masseur was professional and very sweet, asking me loads of questions about my life/health/emotions and then getting a general picture of my health and emotions. She did a general all round massage and I felt many weird sensations when she touched certain pressure points and I guess, worked on my meridians. My feet tingled at one point and and my inner knee got some weird sensation when she was pressuring my hip area!

After the massage, I felt dizzy and spaced out. She fedback to me, that she felt my energy was blocked in my back region and that I'd been carrying huge emotional stuff there for a long time. I was impressed with her and the massage and will definitely return for a monthly treatment..It started to make me think about my career again. How I always wanted to train to be a Herbalist or some sort of therapist. I love helping others but at points, the sort of helping I do in my current job leads to burn out. part of me wonders whether to return to uni to complete a Complementary Therapy Degree and specialise in a chosen area..I can then still work at helping others but in a more holistic way. The only thing that holds me back and concerns me, is the cost of doing the course and indeed, how I'd survive whilst studying with 2 dependents..I need to get more of an idea about how I could fund such alternative career and maybe embark on this. The pure fact that I'm continually contemplating career changes, makes me evermore sure that I need a new direction in life.


Tomorrow I have a Solstice party to attend.This will be lovely! Lots of sweet people, lots of interesting conversation and warmth..I look very forward to this and can't ait to spend time with my lovely friend Julie again, who, very soon is expecting her first baby!

Hoorah for Shiatsu and Hoorah for the weekend!
