OK something went wrong with my last blog. SO here’s take 2. At least I recovered the list.
Read on. Mary

My friend Haysen Weir recently has written her first ebook. Now she is beginning a blog to help promote her book.
Opps:

Let’s get one link at least to work. She has a top nine massage stress busters which easily could be found in her book. I don’t know which are her 9 favorites. So I’ll improvise my making my own list.
The first most important concept is to use your hands as ears. Sound strange? Not really as you use your hands in various strokes along a contour od the body, your fingers will help you “feel” tense spots, hard muscles and much more. Look I’m not the pro here, Haysen Weir is… and as soon as she gets her blog going better, I’ll send you her url. Writing a blog takes practise.
The list:
ala Mary, not Haysen.
1) The face. Perhaps expand to the head. By learning to gently massage the face, especially above the eyebrows, and along the cheekbones and muscles, you can quickly release tension, ease sinus pain, and help relax the eyes.
2) The ears. The outside edge of the ears include a lot of acupressure points, and by pressing on tender points and then doing slow circular movements around those spots, you can communicate with other centers on your body.
3)Your fingers. I knew that you essentially can do reflexology on your hands. However the other day I learned that by gently squeezing your fingers, and by pulling an outside stroke from the knuckles to the fingertips you can work all the main meridans of your body, thus easing pain or chi (energy) blocks throughout your body. Great to do at meetings, and no one will know!
4) A quick rub of the shoulders can help release tension and energize the body.
5) Aching knees. Pace your hands on the knees, breathe and release. Then move hands slowly in circles, or rub deeper into the knee . Really more in depth instruction is provided in Haysen’s ebook.
I hope somday she writes a book just on knees.
6) Lightly pull your hair on top of your head. Then gently but with some pressure let your fingers move from the front of your skull towards the back.
7) Rub your elbows. Try it.
8) ASk someone to rub your shoulders: why do all the work yourself?
9) Get real instruction by purchasing her book. And wiggle your toes.
