Hey Guys! So I never plug anything… and I am a very frugal person as many will tell you. I probably single-handedly put Colony out of business… I have regrets… I'm going to Hell…. I know. I'm sorry. But this is something I just tried for the first time and am going to recommend to you.
I tried a massage at Lifelight Massage yesterday and it was incredible. I feel 100% better overall and I can even see a difference vocally. I've been having an anxious couple of months and not only did she get rid of the knots that I thought were going to be permanent facets of my body because of how awful they felt and how persistent they were, but I kid you not, I stopped having stress-related sugar cravings and I slept better than I had in weeks last night. And then when I went to sing, it felt like someone sprayed some WD-40 in my jaw, my neck feels great, my vibrato was faster, and riffing was smoother than ever! This is crazy!
Also, Christine showed me that an injury I had due to an accident I had as a kid (18 yrs ago!) that I hadn't really considered relevant anymore is actually something I still need to rehabilitate a little. She found it without my even mentioning it… and I really can't believe how much tension I'd been holding in that spot that I was unaware of until she released it for me.
AND…the detail that really matters most…. more than 24 hours later I still feel awesome.
Again, I don't plug things… it's very rare… but I'm telling you if you're in NYC this is worth the money and it's something that will improve your quality of life. I plan to make this a part of my life now because I saw how beneficial it can be to my system. And then after you go in person, take advantage of the fact that Lifelight is putting out a self-care series on YouTube very soon. You can see what it's supposed to feel like when she does it for you and then you can do at-home maintenance, too. Treat yourself. Ask for a massage for Christmas. Do what you gotta do. Just try it.
