community KNIT comes to chakra khan!

THIS is about the coolest thing ever, and it’s coming to Chakra Khan!

Knitters, warm up your hands and come to CK!

The Community KNIT project is created to promote the idea of community working together creatively through craft and hand-made items. A series of strangers at random times knitting with their style and their craft in public cafes. In the end, we together create one finished piece that becomes a reflection of all the hands involved. The goal, is ten community-knitted scarves by Spring 2010 which will be auctioned off to raise funds for a local charity. Support us by stopping in to knit a few rows or a bunch of rows, donate yarn left over from your own knitting projects, and in the Spring keep watching for our auction of ten beautiful community-created scarves! Follow the Community KNIT projects here! If you would like more information please contact Michelle, Community KNIT Creator at omwithmichelle@gmail.com

how to get a massage

I’m adapting this from something I found on The Marsh’s website.  I hope it’s helpful to you!

HOW TO GET A BODYWORK SESSION:

  1. To ensure that your experience is as fulfilling as possible, please arrive on time.
  2. Help yourself relax through deep, regular breathing, emphasizing the exhalation and releasing tension areas.
  3. As a guest, our wish is that you always be comfortable. During your Massage you will remain fully draped with a sheet except for the areas being massaged.  In a Shiatsu, Reiki, or Thai Bodywork session, you should wear comfy clothes, as the sessions are clothes-on.
  4. Allow the therapist to move your limbs into whatever position required— just relax and enjoy your session.
  5. Closing your eyes during the massage helps focus your attention ourtof the head and into the body.  See with your sense of touch.
  6. Let the therapist know if anything feels uncomfortable or if you want more or less pressure. If you are troubled by tension in a specific area, please tell the therapist.
  7. If the music annoys you—let your therapist know!  Good massage music can be hard to find.
  8. If you are cold or too warm—let your therapist know that, too.

I hope you find this helpful.  We’ll see you in for a session SOON!

Jesse and I are trying something new this week through something we are calling: The Kundalini Challenge! One week of Kundalini Yoga, taking advantage of the new-student pass at the Center for Happiness near the U of M. I’m blogging about the experience at juliekesti.com—read about the first two days here: http://juliekesti.com/2009/10/the-kundalini-challenge/ I’m sure Jess will chime in with her thoughts at some point this week, too. :) Enjoy!
