I’ve gotten the shiatsu kicked out of me... or into me?
My nose won't stop running
My back is aching
My thighs are like stone
And my arse has not hurt this much since my mother caught me doing some things that I really should not have been doing that I am really too embarrassed to write about here because the mere thought of it makes me cringe.
Saturday I had my first class at the National Holistic University.
We learned Shiatsu 1&2
I always thought that massage was easy, but it seems like I have might have been mistaken or at least ignorant in my assessment…. Kinda like Bush was when he landed on that aircraft carrier and declared victory in Iraq!!
Shiatsu is done on a mat on the floor with the therapist in a kneeing lunge over the client. At least the parts I learned Saturday. It is a complete body work out. By time I was done my legs were shaking, I was sweating and my heart was racing as if I was running from LAPD.
At least the LAPD would have shot me
After the shiatsu I just had to lay on the floor and take it.
It may sound like I am bitching
And I am
But I am really excited by the whole process. I have got to lose weight and gain strength doing this. Doing something that I really love, something that makes me feel happy and whole. I mean I go to class and the first thing we do is meditate and ground, center ourselves with Tai Chi. I can wear sweats to class and I can go shoeless… actually it is preferred. And when I am done I can be making at least 60k a year on average on the low end. Not to mention that I get a massage three times a week because we have to practice on each other in class.
That is why my nose is running and I have to keep running (hobbling) to the bathroom.
The shiatsu that we learned stimulates your kidneys and sinuses to release toxins.
So its been vitamins, clean eating, water, water, water, hot showers with simultaneous use of the neti and tiger balm.
At first I could not believe that I was paying someone the price of a new car to turn me into pulp. But now I believe that I am paying someone the price of a new car to turn my body into a limitless vehicle and I am excited about the journey.
