Tongen Touch Massage Therapy

It's been a wild few weeks, as our communities of Treasure Island and St Pete Beach have been recovering from the devastation of Hurricanes Helene and Milton. My home was impacted, too, and we've been displaced for weeks. We are slowly pulling it back together, and I'm sending love and gratitude to those who have helped us, helped others, and all who are in the process of pulling their lives back together right now.

This is a big deal. None of us can do this alone. Please be kind to yourself and to others right now. I know that the stress of not knowing how to handle it all is very real. If you're feeling overwhelmed, please take a moment to resource yourself by sensing your body and your breath. Feel your feel on the ground. Do a wiggle dance to shake out the stiffness and get your blood flowing. You are alive, and as you step back out into the sun and move and create good things, you are more connected and stronger.

Let this challenge be your opportunity to care for yourself and others simply.

We're recovering. We've got this. 🌱💛🌿

I've been studying and practicing Positive Intelligence... the ability to shift from negative (sabotaging) ways of thinking into positive (creative, empowering) ways of thinking. If you'd like to find out more, and receive a free session, please reach out.

What aligned action can I take lightly with love today? 🩵🪽

Connecting with the light, joyful spirit of the hummingbird, I open my palms into this moment... sensing and gathering nectar... this nourishment returns me to my heart as I move into my day... 🩵🪽✨️

May you know that you are loved

When you finally realise that joy

is less fireworks
more firefly

less orchestra
more birdsong

she will come back much more often

for joy will not fight
with the fast pace of this life
she is not in the shiny or the new

she breathes in the basic
shimmers in the simple
and dances in the daily to and fro

joy has been beckoning you
for many a year my friend
you were just too busy doing, to see

the very next time joy wraps
her quiet warmth around you
as the garden embraces your weary body
in its wildness

tip her a nod

you cannot force her to stay
but if you are a gracious host

joy comes back.

~ 'Joy Comes Back' by Donna Ashworth from 'Growing Brave'

"Let someone love you just the way you are .... as flawed as you might be, as unattractive as you sometimes feel, and as unaccomplished as you think you are. To believe that you must hide all the parts of you that are broken, out of fear that someone else is incapable of loving what is less than perfect, is to believe that sunlight is incapable of entering a broken window and illuminating a dark room."

Pairing by Whispers from the Heart

When you love someone, take the time to look into their consciousness and water their seeds of love. 🩵🌱

"Nobody is superior, nobody is inferior, but nobody is equal either... people are simply unique, incomparable. You are you. I am I." -- Osho

There are pieces of you that I see in me
Thoughts shifting from me to we
is what I then see
The illusion of separateness begins to dissolve
That age old puzzle many want to solve
From there it is back to what came undone
Remembrance of being as one
You are you and I am me
Together we can simply be
When illusion is gently wiped away
You will see beyond skin to souls today

Good morning, St Pete! I'm here and *attempting* to reach out and make my presence known, but having some challenges getting my main Facebook business page, Tongen Touch Massage Therapy https://www.facebook.com/tongentouch to show up and be taggable. I'll be using this page in addition to my main page in hopes that my business and address will again show up in search, and allow people to tag the location.

Tongen Touch Massage Therapy Tongen Touch is an invitation to reconnect with your True Nature as you sense your breath + body.

Bliss... 💝

"Now, if you can look at the emptiness, that sense of being cut off from all relationships, without escape, if you can be with it without fear, without trying to fill it or alter it in any way, then you will find that it is really the complete abandonment of society, an aloneness which is not an escape, but which has no recognition by society. Do you understand what that means? Society is a process of recognition; one is recognized as a saint, as a writer, as a good man, as a bad man, as a Capitalist, a Communist, or whatever you like. In breaking away from all that the mind is completely alone, not lonely, but alone. It is no longer influenced by society, it is completely dissociated from all recognition, therefore it is capable of being alone. Surely, there must be such aloneness for reality to be. Only the mind that is alone, incorrupt, innocent, though it may have thousands of years of experience - only such a mind is capable of perceiving that which is God, truth. And that is possible only when we face loneliness, this loneliness in our hearts which we try to cover up by every means: by so-called love, by distraction, through worship, through amusements, through knowledge. When the mind sees the futility of all that and remains with that which is completely self-enclosing, limiting, empty, then in that emptiness there comes aloneness. Then the mind is fresh, alone, innocent, and it is only such a mind that receives the eternal."

Clearing is not about the task or the outcome (how much you get done). It's about staying with your inner experience to nourish yourself.

Try this 1-Minute Clearing Practice to move some energy within yourself (and your home). 💞

Tongen Touch Massage Therapy updated their information in their About section.

Hey you guys, my page for Tongen Touch Massage now has 2 locations, Boulder and Denver. I may combine them back into 1 page as it's confusing to see my Boulder page say I have 5 people liking it. Technology is getting the best of me at the moment, but I'll figure it out soon!

Hope everyone is having a blessed day.
