I done been gone!

I've just finished a 5-day Jin Shin Jyutsu seminar that was held right here in Tucson, Wednesday through Sunday from 8:30 to about 6:30 each day. Talk about an intense bit of learning! The dogs were bereft as they are used to having me around quite a bit more during the day.

How to explain JSJ in a short blip is beyond me, but it's a modality i am growing ever more impressed with. You can look at Magz' blog and recent comments to know a bit about how it helped her. It's a gentle art, working to harmonize the energy in the body, and is complicated and simple at the same time. I did call Ms. Magz and tell her a couple of things she could do to help her head and sense of smell, and got some good advice on flows to do next time i go see her. Self-help is an important component of JSJ--so it's possible to treat yourself as well as others.

I admit to feeling an emotional let down last night in the wake of such a large event. There were about 45 people there, and we did hands-on three times each day, so in addition to the brain overload there was also the effects of moving a lot of energy through our bodies. But it's all good, and the morning after i'm feeling new and strong and clearer than ever!


Now, i've had several requests for details of my trip to Minnesota, but this isn't a porn blog, so i'll refrain from sharing too many personal details--but i must say, Chris and i are EXTREMELY COMPATIBLE!!! And not just in the 'horizontal bop' department, but also in the 'snuggle' department, the 'spooning' department and the 'loving to kiss' department as well. A new romance that feels comfortable and familiar already. This Is How It Feels When It's Right, and we both know it.

We both have a lot of healing to do when it comes to relationships--he has a short unhappy list, and i have a very long unhappy list, but we both recognize that self-love and self-nurturing are key components of a happy and successful union. And i think we've both taken the long road to learning to hear our own voices. I think that's why both of us are loner types; we couldn't hear our own inner voices until we were by ourselves. Now that we are coupled we still recognize the need to be solitary from time to time, to take care of ourselves and thus return to the relationship renewed rather than resentful.

What else can i tell ya, it's sublime and i feel very blessed to have the gift of this love in my life. Plus it is frustrating as hell to be separated by such a distance, but we also both know that all is as it should be. Neither of us are river-pushers. When the time is right we'll be together again....even though both of us would be happy for it to be Now rather than Later!

ciao for now!
