Hi, I’m Mary Pat and I’m a personal coach. There are three assessment tools that I use in my personal coaching that do just that - they show us our natural tendencies and assist us in living them for success.

Asking questions of your therapist prior to booking an appointment will help you have a better session. The dialogue before your massage can help you begin to relax before you even get on the table. 

First of all, have you ever tried massaging your own shoulders? We are sort of working against ourselves in our attempt to create ease. 

My inner zen is asking, “If that conversation was happening live instead of on the phone, would it bother me as much?”

Taking time to play, create and observe beauty are all ways we can raise our vibration. As our emotional vibrations move faster and faster it is more difficult for us to get stuck in the lower frequencies. We’re “moving too fast” for us to stick in the slower moving emotions.

During those minutes while you are in the day-camp pick up line, hiking, mowing the grass, or any of the other activities you do during summer, maybe ask yourself some of the deeper questions you might avoid.

Through pain, numbness, tingles, prickles, twinges and aches. It speaks through solid, ropey feeling muscles and tight joints; or even joints that are loose. It communicates through ease or lack of ease of movement or even how easily ( or not) we breathe. The trouble is, we haven’t learned to a) listen to and b) comprehend what the body is trying to share.
