Providing massage to very ill clients or to those who are in the last months or weeks of life is much different than massage for those who are healthy or suffering from life’s daily aches and pains. Compassion and patience are the main tools – with warm, healing hands coming in a close second. The rewards are many and the emotions can be intense. Being well prepared for this important work is vital. This will a great opportunity for massage therapists everywhere to get together and discuss their experiences with working with the medically frail and/or terminally ill clients.

So many television channels and production companies jumping on the scripted reality bandwagon that one can’t help but wonder whether we’ve finally reaching the point of saturation. We'll we see an increasing boredom and lack of interest in the popular genre, or if the format will just be repeated until there is literally no part of the US that hasn’t been stereotyped, criticised, and, in turn, humiliated? Join Lyn and Andy this Tuesday night, May 7 at 8pm Pacific Time, when we discuss reality TV's saturation point. Sometimes we just reach a point at which our whole body rejects and triggers a reflex to switch the TV off, even before we've seen a show.

Everyone likes to hear stories. Stories connects us all, adults and children alike. We are wired to enjoy stories. Whenever you hear someone give a talk, you'll always find the speaker tell you several stories. If not, I bet you'll find yourself bored and yawning.  The best stories captivate their audience and can place the listener in a state of psychological "narrative transport". If you have message to tell people, it's always best to tell people a memorable story. Just check out the world of advertising. They are just inundated with stories! Our news today is full of stories! Every heard the term "mnemonic device?" That's a way to remember things using acronyms and sometimes stories to go with the acronyms. So please join us Tuesday, April 23rd, at 8pm to tell stories or mnemonic devices that made us remember things or have captivated us as children or even as adults. We'll also share some studies we've found how effectively storytelling has been used to make our message stick.

Join Sifu Restita DeJesus and Sifu Robert Deahl as we have an open forum about "tradition in the modern martial arts world" How important is "old school" tradition in modern martial arts venues? As a Koryu (classical) practitioner, do you feel that observance of the old ways of tradition is a way to understand the culture of the old days?

We'd like to hear from you!!! Call in to join the discussion. All are welcome, regardless of style and rank. While debate is welcomed, we strive to keep the forum as mature of discussion as possible.

  Studies in music indicate that it is a natural healer. Researchers have discovered that blood flow and respiratory rates can synch with music, and that swelling crescendos - increases in volume - appear to induce moderate arousal while decrescendos induce relaxation. Proven to release dopamine responsible for pleasure, music shows promise in the treatment of mental and somatic illnesses. Similar research also suggest that it may be useful for patients with traumatic brain injury and as therapeutic intervention for problems associated with aging. Please join us, Lyn Yancha, LMP and Andy Mayor (musician), for a discussion on how music played a healing part in their lives. Please call the live call-in number with your stories to share.

Join us for a conversation about TaiChi and QiGong with Sifu Restita DeJesus of Seattle Wushu Center and Aaron Irons of Harmonious Embodiment Arts. TaiChi and QiGong (pronounced as chee-gong) are seen as little more than an unusual exercise practiced in the park by many people. There are even misconceptions that these movements are "easy" and are perfect for the fragile senior citizens. Lyn can attest that it is not. That is only an ilusion. Our conversation will cover the benefits of practicing TaiChi/QiGong; practical applications in every day living; as well as being used in self-defense. We welcome live calls. So mark your calendar and jot down the information: Tuesday, February 12, 2013. 8pm PST.
