THE CLENCH IS REAL

With Golden Rod popping up everywhere I am reminded of the deep yellow color of the Earth element. Before we move into Fall and the element of Metal, summer hangs on for its last bloom. Earth’s season is now - late summer. We begin to stow away summers fruits and look toward the harvest. I love this quote:

Change your opinions, keep to your principles; change your leaves, keep intact your roots.

- V. Hugo

It’s a beautiful reminder that the energy of the summer sun gets stored away in the roots of all living things in the soil. So in the midst of planning all the things, this is your friendly reminder to prioritize yourself. Your energy is precious, how you use it is finite and we must root to rise. Your future self called, she wants a massage! Especially as the seasons change and our family routines begin to find their rhythm. Carving out those windows of time to just sink into your own body is a must.

The CLENCH has been a topic in the massage room the past month. Where do you hold your tension? I clench my sacrum/pelvis — I can literally feel the dissipation of it’s hold when I remind myself I can let it go. Note to self: we don’t have to hold it all. Balls might drop but maybe they weren’t for us to hold….just a thought.
