It excites me so much to be able to create and distribute this content for you and for numbers of people I could never really hope to meet in […]

Early in my Yoga practice, I learned to do the scorpion pose. I thought it would be a cool cocktail party trick, not to impress people with my skill(which wouldn’t be very Yoga-like) but to turn them on to yoga with that flair. Sun salutations, while better for you, just don’t do it. 
This technique is […]

This one isn’t complex at all. But in my interviews with couples that massaged each other regularly, most had never done this particular one. The interesting about this ‘trick’ is that it is something you might not come up with on your own.
Its obvious what it is, but what’s so good about it? 
The idea is […]

If you have had a professional massage before, chances are it was at a spa. I’m happy I only did this conveyor belt factory evil for a short time of my life. You see, Spas are to massage therapy as McDonalds is to restaurants. (click here for a fun McDonalds game!) Something vile that should never […]

So, here is another technique to cycle through.
Again, see the muscle as a wet towel.
So far in your life, and in these articles, you have massaged the FRONT and the BACK of the trapezius muscle. Generally, people don’t massage the top of the muscle at all. Thats what we will try now.
For this technique, place your fingertips on […]

OK. If you only are here for 2 articles this visit, you are in luck - this one is much shorter.
Grab on to the trapezius.
Without the tips of your thumbs touching the recipient, place your hands on their trapezius. Then, go ahead and squeeze away. The same rules apply, as you have read earlier, but […]
