4/29/12 veggie garden
May 2012
April Showers Bring May Flowers...
The hardest part of summer veggie gardening is getting it planted.  It took me three weekends in a row to get mine done.  I'm at the easy stage of the game right now...waiting and weeding on a weekly basis.  I can hardly wait for the yummy part when I get to harvest all the goodies:  3 kinds of tomatoes, 4 kinds of lettuce, herbs, 2 kinds of onions, 4 kinds of squash, carrots, radishes, kale, collards, eggplant 3 rows of beans and brussel sprouts!

I moved into my new location on NE 172nd A
1512 NE 172 Avenueve in January.  I have been waiting for the shrubbery outside my unit to bloom before I take some nice pictures.  (the bushes were all brown and ugly up until about two weeks ago.)  I have not downloaded the pics from my digital camera yet to show you the signage on 172nd or on Halsey.  Both are in red and read Massage Therapy!

here are a few new Arbonne items in stock now.  I have the Unwind Bath Salts and have also decided to try the Seasource     Detox Spa. Both of these bath salt soaks are excellent for the tired, stressed, achy body.  Some long awaited good news....I have a new topical analgesic in stock now too. I have it in a small 4 oz size.  If all goes well and everyone likes how effective it is in helping with pain management in between your massage therapy, I will order the larger 8 oz sizes next time.

I alwardt kitys have Raindrop Treatments available.  These are good for more than just keeping the cold and flu germs in check.  The Original Raindrop Treatment is excellent for exhaustion, fatigue, feeling blue or a little run-down and have been proven to be an excellent pre-surgery treatment. Original Raindrop Treatment the day before a scheduled surgery will help you with the post surgery recovery, you will not be nausious from the anesthesia (you'll have actually taken less of this than expected) your pain after the surgery will be less, your healing time will be faster.  So, by all means, do treat yourself to feeling great!

I promise....you will be feeling 100% better by the morning after this O.RT and on your way to being completely well.

I do wish to post a reminder here that if you are experiencing any cold or flu like symptoms a few days before or the day of your scheduled massage, please call me and let me know.  I would very much prefer that you stay home and get well rather than exposing healthy people to the virus....

Unless, of course you wish to request a Raindrop Treatment (RT) addgreen sick smiley-on to your massage! This is an excellent way to naturally boost your immune system for prevention of colds and flu.  Raindrop Treatments have also been advantageous in helping to reduce symptoms and duration of colds and flu after you already catch them. (personal experience:  the next day, you are all well! --no more suffering for weeks and weeks!)

NOTE:  If you have a fever, it is recommended that you reschedule your massage appt.  Wait for your fever to pass and then come in for your Raindrop Treatment. 

I will also be diffusing air purifying essential oils in the massage room for all of our protection. 

I have available, the Young Living explanation of Raindrop Therapy at websites: WhiteDragonTherapies and EssentialEverydayOils .

If you are interested, I have a Raindrop Therapy Disclosure Packet available for your ease of reference that lists all the essential oils used, why they are used and what other additional health benefits they may provide along with any contraindications for these oils.  My goal is helping you get healthy and stay healthy!

Stress: Mr. Mayhem of the Body, Mind and Spirit.

By Beau Miakinkoff, LMT, LMP, CA, IAC

 

 

I have a totally pleasurable remedy to alleviate stress and anxiety. Massage in Portland Oregon is the ultimate relaxation. With so many people suffering stress, anxiety and depression it eludes me as to why massage therapy benefits remains a big secret.

 


The healing hands of massage therapy - the human touch has incredible powers to release the tension, anxiety and stress in the body. Most people never take the opportunity to experience this modality of encouraging the body to self-heal. Most people do not treat the body as a temple. Most people don't know how to take care of the temple.

 

Left unchecked...stress (a silent killer) manifests in the body to the point of anxiousness in the mind. Anxiety accumulates to such levels in the brain that depression affects the spirit.

 

It is a linear path with stress: Stress ð Tension ð Anxiety ð Depression

 

It is a simple equation: Anxiety = tension + stress

 

Eliminate the stress from the equation via massage therapy. Empower the body to correct itself naturally.   Believe it or not...the number one benefit of massage therapy is that it has the capacity to add longevity to life. There is much to be acclaimed to the term "relaxation". Relaxation removes as much stress from the temple as possible. Receiving massage treatments on a regular basis can relieve stress and tension in the body like nothing else. Massage can be the preventative medicine for depression. Massage therapy is the insurance for good health and well-being! Massage. It does a body GOOD.
