We are all familiar with the adage, "the shoemaker's children are the worst shod."  It is not physically possible for me to give a proper massage when I am not well rested, am not in a good state emotionally, and am not eating properly.  Giving a good massage starts the night before.  I do not have a television, a cell phone or any other electronic device in my bedroom.  My bedroom is free of clutter and dust, and is a relaxing, tranquil haven.  My shoes, which are laden, quite literally, with the dust of the world, are not stored in my bedroom or in my bedroom closet.  I rarely eat out, my food is prepared fresh, I do not drink soft drinks, caffeine is limited to one cup (if any) per day, and I use environmentally friendly containers.  Burning sage, copal, palo santo and other incense helps to achieve balance in my home as well as my clinic.  Negative people have either been eliminated from my circle, or are dealt with as little as possible.  I lift up and celebrate others, and always show gratitude.  Blessings to all who read this.
