To go in the dark with a light is to know the light. 
To know the dark, go dark. Go without sight,
and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings,
and is traveled by dark feet and dark wings. 

~ To Know the Dark, from The Selected Poems of Wendell Berry, 1999

This one is short and sweet!


Hope you're hanging in there, noticing each little shift toward more love, more peace, more justice, and more wisdom. Thank you for being here. I appreciate you. 

I'm still working in my office on Tuesdays, 12-7 pm. I got an air purifier and wear a face shield when working near the head, to minimize the COVID risk along with the usual protocols.

I'm still offering TMJ Relief sessions (and still not working inside the mouth), and it still makes a difference. Dr. John Upledger, founder of craniosacral therapy, said that 90 percent of TMJ issues come from elsewhere in the body. I'm not sure I agree with that number, but I agree with the idea. 

If you have jaw issues and want to learn how to treat yourself, the next offering of my Zoom course Self-Care for Jaw Pain starts February 4. Check it out on my website, maryannreynolds.com, and please share with anyone who could benefit. 

I'm using this slow time to study for my certification exams in craniosacral therapy techniques. The first hoop is the essay exam (no more than 50 pages, they say!). 

To get more practice, I'm offering some ridiculously attractive discounts: Get one 75-minute craniosacral therapy session for $100, saving yourself $20, or buy 3 sessions for $250 or 6 for $500. These packages work out to $83.33 per session. 

This modality is excellent for reducing stress and releasing restrictions. Some receivers report they experience themselves differently after a session, as calmer and more centered, with greater clarity of awareness, as if they've "been meditated."

So, if you know someone, say an exhausted front-line worker, or someone who needs some extra TLC, you can buy a $100 gift certificate online and email/print it for them to use for any 75-minute session or apply it toward a package. 

One quick share for quickly de-stressing


The next time you want to calm yourself, try this quick breathing exercise called the physiological sigh:
  • Inhale through the nose.
  • Top that with another inhalation through the nose, but shorter this time.
  • Do an extended exhale through the mouth, longer than the two inhales combined.
  • Repeat this breathing technique 3x.
Thus says Dr. Andrew Huberman, Stanford neurobiologist, in this video

Okay, folks, that's it for this edition. I'll be back in your inbox in March.
