The wise words of Lao Tsu

*This too will pass * When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be * When you realize that all things change, there is nothing you will try to hold on to * Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage

Fabulous Foot Massage

Last night I experienced the whole Chinese experience of a foot massage. I have to be honest and say I went into it with my doubts...1) I am very ticklish 2) I feel a little guilty almost having someone wash and massage my feet for me 3)I really just didn't know what to expect. Well I have to say it was fantastic...I really felt very relaxed afterwards and whilst at times I did not know whether to laugh or cry it really felt very good. When I put my shoes on to leave after 70 minutes of some kind of bliss, it literally felt like I was walking on air. They scrape, stretch, hit, cup massage, wash, treat and thoroughly give your feet some deserved attention. You just lay back and sleep, drink green tea, eat oranges, watch TV, whatever and enjoy. It is reflexology and they concentrate on all the different pressure points in your feet to also help benefit the rest of your body and mind..but somehow I don't think Western Reflexology places would be quite the same experience :-)
