Since I've started massage school, I've had this great desire to be one of those people who has a calming effect on the people around them.
I mean, like, I don't want to be one of those people who has to whisper in my phone sex voice, "Just relaaaax. Melt into the taaaable. Start at your feeeeet. And imagine you can't feel them. And just relaaaax."
I just want people to feel reassured and non-hysterical when they're around me.
Unfortunately, my personality and general demeanor don't really lend itself to that....since I'm not a calm person myself.
So I'm thinking I should take up yoga.
In the movies, I always think yoga looks like something that could make me calm.
Of course, I don't know how calm I can be when I'm trying to twist my body like that.
And do I have to breathe at the same time?
Because that could be a problem.

I used to do yoga in the special ed classroom where I worked at East High, and my favorite part was at the end when we just laid on our backs and "meditated" - or maybe I was just sleeping - that's why I enjoyed it.
I love yoga because it does feel really good at the end... I don't know about all the mediating business because the only thing I'm thinking is "Now how do I get my leg there?" But, I will warn you... what they DON'T tell you about yoga is that the positions cause your stomach to contract, releasing any gases that might be hiding in there... so... if you're feeling gasy, do yoga privately! I learned that the hard way! :)
I think you have a definite market with spastic massage, Erin. I know I'd much rather have a hyper and out of control Erin working out the kinks in my back than the oh-so-calm and soothing Erin. I just can't wrap my brain around that idea at all. Don't want to... not gonna do it.
