The townhouse, or duplex we're moving to mid-June is quite cool. We'll have some great space in the lower level, and the top floor will have a counselling office, computer office, and Bodywork room. And, we'll be adding a meditation room, too, and will likely have times for you to come for Zazen.
This will be a great place for us to live until the big move to Costa Rica.
I'm especially looking forward to decorating the meditation room. Pictures to follow.

Another Tech Example
You know I love tech, and I've found a cool tech site that makes it easy to put a map on a website.
Dar and I are moving to our new place by June 15th, and people need to know how to get there (obviously.) In the past, I've printed directions on a web page, from Toronto and Port Elgin, where I used to have an office. The new tech lets me put an interactive map up, exactly like you'd get going to Google Maps. You can put in your address and get directions.

Manage Your SELF Instead of Your Pain
Instead of Your PainIf you'd like to listen to the show, here is a link to the interview.
I've put together a page of resources that you can have a look at, from mindfulness to meditation to Zen Bodywork to course offered. Have a look here.
I think you'll enjoy the resources available and will find the whole concept of managing yourself and your thoughts and actions a tonic to western pain approaches.

Bliss - the movie
And yet another resource for you.
Bliss
is a movie that I highly recommend.
As you know, we focus a lot of attention on Bodywork In the last 2 years or so, (since the tsunami, which nudged the magnetic poles a bit) I've noticed that many clients feel "out of balance." This feeling is often the result of a first Chakra issue.
Almost always, there are also sexual issues, (Chakra two.)
Bliss addresses this second issue. The movie was made in 1997, and concerns the work of a sex therapist, as he helps a couple deal with sexual dysfunction - using a decidedly "hands on" approach that is similar to our own. Here is a review, and the text from the back cover, from Amazon:
Amazon.com
It may not be a great movie, but Bliss could be one of the greatest marriage-boosters ever filmed. This curious drama fits into the too-familiar form of the "therapy movie," but it's acted with intensity by a committed (and rather brave) trio. Craig Sheffer plays an uptight Seattle husband who discovers his neurotic wife (Sheryl Lee) visiting a radical doctor (Terence Stamp) who has sex--therapeutically--with his patients. After briefly flipping out, Sheffer finds himself buying into the doctor's remedies for a sexual and emotional make-over. The silky-smooth Stamp is perfectly cast: with his enthusiasm for chakras and fine cigars, the doctor is both spiritual guru and the kind of man who reads Playboy. The film veers into ridiculousness at times, yet there is something intriguing about its how-to frankness. Home viewers may find themselves embarrassed and maybe just a little bit liberated. --Robert Horton
From the Back Cover
Craig Sheffer, Sheryl Lee, Terence Stamp, and Spalding Gray star in this audaciously honest look at sexual intimacy and emotional risk. On his wedding day, Joseph (Craig Sheffer) nervously admits that his wife (Sheryl Lee) is not quite like other women. But his beautiful bride is more than just the "impulsive, compulsive, obsessive" woman he thinks he knows. And when Joseph discovers she is hiding troubling secrets, it sends them both on a sexual odyssey that will either destroy or redeem their relationship. Erasing all boundaries between sex, love, and commitment, "BLISS may be one of the most daring and explicit films ever made." --William Arnold, Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
The most intriguing element of the movie is the use of "G-Spot" massage to release past sexual trauma. This fits with Chakra theory, which describes this area plus the root Chakra as holding both sexual and life trauma.
