new possibilities

I've been living in San Francisco for over four months now and have been thoroughly enjoying it! It's funny how easy transitions can be when you're on the right path and also when you let go and ride it.

I love how everything is so close, and I love being able to walk to the grocery stores, restaurants, stores, park, my new network chiropractor, my new craniosacral therapist, etc.! I love being neighbors with my friends and sharing weekly dinners with them. And this may sound super cheesy and cliche, but as soon as I moved here, I really felt like anything was possible. That I could be, do and wear anything I wanted!

So for now, this means going to school to become a body worker! A CranioSacral Therapist specifically. I took my first class through the Upledger Institute in January and absolutely loved it. I was telling my mom and Dan how everyone in the class could feel such subtle things in their bodies, and they both, on separate occasions, said, "Those are your people!" They ARE my people- woo hoo!

Among other things, I love how craniosacral therapy has such a solid, science-based foundation but then still leaves room for intuition and energy work. It's really amazing. It's worked wonders for me and my migraines and balance issues. And as I tell people what I'm doing, I keep hearing more and more stories of healing from people I didn't even know had heard of it. The only thing I'm concerned about is being able to switch from listening to my own body to listening to other people's bodies. But I'm assuming this will just take practice.

My next craniosacral class is in September, so meanwhile, I'm getting my massage therapy certificate. After a lot of research, it seems like this is the best way to get the "license to touch." I'm excited about it too though. It's all connected!
