Running out of title ideas
I sit typing in the Lodge... only to have to save and post this later. The mythical wireless network that's been talked about doesn't exist yet. The tech people are said to have had "hardware problems" and allegedly are coming back. Perhaps, though, they have run far far away... they may still be running. What if we get no network?
Whatever's energizing my week continues, still felt underneath layers of sleep deprivation, lack of yoga, and an empty stomach until half past noon.
In Massage Theory we practiced Vibration and Compression, which we had some experience with from Shiatsu. Amy showed us some things we haven't seen, though...a few Polarity rocking techniques. Good stuff.
It's Jana's birthday today. I gave her almonds, as requested. Silas has worn a sign all day announcing his role as "Jana's Birthday Pony". Probably not quite what she had in mind, but possibly more satisfying, and less costly/not as time consuming. Real ponies suck.
This afternoon we did a small birthday circle around her, sharing appreciations for her, Om'ing, and ending with lifting her (supine) into the air with our fingertips. Apparently it's an amazing feeling.
Hydrotherapy was fun and fast as usual. Today was cold treatments. We did ice packs and ice massage (intense). I think it made my cough worse. Ugh, I'm so over it. I'm doing my best to withdraw all energy from its continued existence.
After dinner, I received a Shiatsu session from one of the Asian Healing Arts students. Wednesdays are their Supervised Practice times. It was so good to be in that energy again (I miss Shiatsu class). The session involved back, leg, arm, and abdominal work, and the student paid special attention to some Lung points to help with my cough.
I need to talk with her later, because I want to find out what my pulses were like, but I just wanted to get out of there and get to bed.
