Massage seems like such a new thing — a recent technique to help alleviate stress and pain. However, it is actually one of the earliest medical techniques that humanity has created.
The oldest known written description of massage dates from around 3000 B.C. — about 5000 years ago! That document, the Cong-Fu of the Toa-Tse, is Chinese and has remained available. In the 1700s, it was translated into French.

Robots — specifically the Waseda Asahi Oral Rehabilitation Robot 1 — are the new providers of excellent facials. Despite advances in designing massage chairs, engineers had to start entirely from scratch to design the WAO-1, because of the fragile nature of facial bone structure. The machine is specifically designed to provide relief for individuals suffering from mouth, jaw and facial disorders.

Somehow in the last three weeks, one cricket after another has been sneaking into my bedroom and shrieking its head off at unpredictable times. The gorier details of these confrontations are chronicled here. I can’t use any kind of bug spray because the smell always makes me nauseous. So my choices were either to put up with it and hope for the best, sleep in another room or use earplugs. After trying all three, I best recommend the earplug route.
However, last night at one thirty in the morning (and stuff like this always happens at one thirty in the morning, doesn’t it?), my ears were so sore from the plugs that I had to take them out. That means I was awake until the cricket called the concert a night (or day…or whatever…) Boy, was I worked up. My sleep has been so constantly interrupted in the last weeks that I was having more headaches than usual and I couldn’t spend as much time writing and that means less money made and that means I might not have enough to pay my bills and that will keep me awake and that will give me headaches….
(My thoughts went round and round like that. I think I was a hamster in my previous life who spent a lot of time on that little wheel.)
How I Managed To Relax

He taught me a method of relaxation breathing. He suggested I focus on two words, one with the ‘in’ breath, another with the ‘out’ breath. I can’t remember the words he offered, but I settled on ‘whole’ and ‘calm’.
The point of the exercise is to relieve the stress and tension built up throughout the tissues of our body, and to bring the physical essence of the self to a more peaceful, relaxed and whole state. Sometimes, we have forgotten how to feel good. Our memory is clouded by years of accumulated pressure. These moments of visualization help us recall how to be as we once were, or to teach us for the first time that there is a way to feel better. And, after practice, we can train ourselves to bring this state of being to us at any time.
