Hello Everyone!

Hello everyone taking the time to read my blog!  My name is Pamela Davis and I live in New Hampshire with my husband and our two dogs (known lovingly as "the boys").  I live a pretty busy life, hence the thriving in chaos!  I run my own busy massage therapy practice.  I specialize in therapeutic work like pain relief, postural deviations, MS, cerebral palsy, migraines and neck injuries.  I teach as well at a local college.  I love teaching my favorite thing is when my students have the AHA! moment and they understand fully what I am showing them.  I love teaching students about what I am passionate about.  I also am going to school online and love the amazing classes I am taking.  I am taking a very interesting class right now called creating wellness: The psychological and spiritual aspects of healing.  Even though we have just started we have already learned some incredible things about how our thoughts effect our health.  We listened to  a Journey On Relaxation today that was very interesting. The voice on the recording led you through a relaxation exercise where you focused on directing your blood into your arms and hands.  Without even moving you were able to feel the increased blood flow and the warmth in your hands.  I enjoyed this exercise two fold because my hands are always freezing and maybe I can use this as a way to warm them up.  Seriously though, this exercise was a great way to focus on your body and taught you how to relax.  It is important that we take time for ourselves and learn how to properly relax.  Exercises like this also help us feel linked to our body.  Few people stop and think about their body and how it feels and how to relax their muscles.  If we never take time for ourselves we will eventually run out of time, things and energy to give to other people.  It is crucial that we utilize self care as a routine.  My favorite thing to do for myself is take a bath and read.  Even if I don't really have time to do it I do it anyhow, guilt free.  It's the little mental health things that we do for ourselves that are so important.  If you are not going to care of yourself who will?
