Wow…a 9 month hiatus from blogging as I watch everything around me spin downwards. The banksters have been at work and their devious undertakings have chipped furiously away at both my teaching and my practice. Thank goodness for my home study DVD courses. Up until 2008 I was humming along both with a good practice schedule and 5 or 6 cranial sacral classes and the occasional Rolfing class on pain management. I was doing so well, I took my daughter on a 3 week skiing vacation to Argentina. But, on my return in August of 2008, the floor fell in on me like the proverbial SWHTF or TEOTWAWKI. Now as I watch I see the world spinning out of control, I wonder what place I will have when the dust settles after an economic collapse. What will people do when they can’t afford to go to doctors because they no longer can get health care? It appears as if most of Europe is about to default and the repercussions could be startling. Few of those in the massage/pain management trade want to talk about it, but the economic situation isn’t looking so rosy for the those who depend on disposal income for their support. After 22 years in the industry I have been experiencing the most arid conditions for my practice.  Based on what I am looking at with unemployment (real unemployment) over 20% and one in 5 americans living under the poverty level, I would say its time to switch gears.

I am offering families the opportunity to learn in the comfort of their homes two powerful healing modalities to deal with the painful conditions that arise and usually necessitated a visit to the doctor and then to the pharmacy to alleviate the pain. Hopefully people will understand that that scenario might change and it will necessitate other avenues and skills to deal with the challenges that are heading our way. The DVD courses on massage/Cranial Sacral therapy and Rolfing give the average person the ability to handle a lot of the debilitating issues that arise in our human machine. 

Other than that, I am spending a lot of time growing my own food. Unfortunately, I see a time in the not too distant future where our ability to grow our own food and deal with the physical and emotional challenges that arise when a society that allows its government to spend trillions on unjust wars and then cuts health care and infrastructure repair to its citizens. We got some karma to pay.
