My First Cupping Experience

Cupping therapy is a form of alternative medicine in which a local suction is created on the skin. Cupping has been characterized as a pseudoscience.[1] There is no solid evidence that it has any health benefits, and there are severe concerns it may be harmful to the epidermal, circulation and nervous system.

Today I had my first cupping experience at Well Kneaded Massage Therapy & Skin Care located in Fort Myers, Florida.  One of the members at MAX'D Out Fitness Center whom also worked part time at the fitness center with me. Katie is a massage therapist and a cupping therapist. I heard of cupping, done my research, and had seen photos. I knew I would have marks. I was a bit nervous and excited to experience cupping.  Last year I tried acupuncture. As a Mind-Body Wellness Practitioner,  I love alternative methods such as massage, cupping, acupuncture, reiki, crystals, and sound healing for my well-being.
Katie did really well at making feel comfortable. Since I had done my research I felt confident.  It honestly did not hurt. It felt like a gentle pinch. She placed them along my spine. She ran them down my spine.  It felt a little tighter when she did my legs. I could bare it though. Overall, it was a really nice experience. With so many benefits like deeper relaxation, reduce pain, loosen muscles, increase energy flow. I will be scheduling another session next month.  Besides the round circles on my back which will fade away.  They may look bad, there is a slight of discomfort, but nothing that would keep me from doing this again.

I Am Responsible For My Own Happiness

There are times when we have to deal with lessons in life. We grown up with divorce parents, sometimes without parent(s), or sad events that effect our lives. I know because I have been in those shoes. I will be honest there was a time in my life that I blamed everyone else for my happiness (because I wasn't living a happy life).....it wasn't until I began "dealing" with me that I began to discover so many things. I know that "I am responsible for my own happiness!" not my parents, not the bad relationships, not my family, not even my children.  I am responsible. Now that I know this I want to share my insights with others.....I know LIFE can be a challenge BUT nothing that you are going through should steal your happiness!! Life is a gift!! No matter what YOU are dealing with....sometimes we m...

My Mother

My Mother  How many teenagers blame their mother, father, and even God for their life and everything that happens to them? I will be  very honest, I was one of those teenagers. After first  watching the movie "The Secret",   I realized that blaming my life situations  was keeping me from living my true purpose.   The choices  we make lead us to our path....if we make bad choices  we  will be faced  with tough, rough roads...but if we choose good than we will be in smooth, safe paths. Since becoming spiritually awaken and truly living life in a state of gratitude, I have learn that every lesson is meant for learning, for growth, to guide you into your path towards your life purpose.  NO ONE is responsible for the choices you have made but YOU.   Parents - you should not blame yourself for your children decision. When we begin to take responsibility for your choices, a shift will occur. On Mother's Day, I was able to share ...
