These days, things are changing rapidly, in politics, with the environment, technology, and with everything. I cannot keep up and at the same time, I am growing really impatient. Everything takes longer than I think it should. And times goes by so fast. Things happen IN time and not ON time.

Finding a Gem
Find the Gem in the Slow-down of Summer For many of us summer is a time to slow down, relax and regroup. I have always hoped that my summers would change me in some way, I would go on a vacation or do something that would have a posotive lasting impact.

In praise of Father’s Day

Rauschenberg and Dance
This past week, I went to the Robert Rauschenberg exhibit at SF MOMA for the 3rd time. Every time it brought me back to my days as a visual artist. Rauschenberg was a major influence of mine even before I was conscious of his work. The Robert Rauschenberg: Erasing the Rules exhibit also reminded of my connection of the dance world because it was Rauschenberg who created sets for a few ...
Incorporating Tarot into a Polarity Session
Polarity does not refer to magic or intuition like Tarot. Yet, both systems look at life as a spiritual journey. Combining Tarot with my bodywork sessions has become an inspirational asset that has deepened the experience of my work for both my clients and myself. Aside from pain reduction, deep relaxation, joint and muscle effectiveness, etc., the general intention in my work has always been ...

February – The Month of Love
02.07.18 Reading for APTA Pierre Pannetier was Dr. Stone’s assistant during the 60’s, and eventually became Stone’s successor. Pannetier approached to Polarity Therapy was slightly different than Stone’s. His touch was lighter and he advocated coming from Love. What is coming from love? I’ve heard the term so many times that I’ve become numb. And then every so often, especially when I am giving ...

Experiencing Tarot in Motion for Myself
In the class right before Thanksgiving, the card I chose to create a movement piece for was The Tower, which indicates chaos and a total breakdown. To tell you the truth I was kind of embarrassed because as the teacher, wasn’t I suppose to exemplify strength and balance? I also knew that at the core of The Tower is victory and survival.
