Dear list beings, I was reminded today of an experience which some of you might want to check out. It's an 'unconventional' type of massage based on gentle rocking motions of 'isolated' parts of the body. The method ( Traeger massage) was developed by Malcolm Traeger who believed that we are all born in a state of internal vibration and flexibility which we lose over time by 'reigning in' (among other things) the way we carry our bodies. The Traeger therapist gently rocks various body parts in succession, briefly pausing in between the rocking intervals. During the pauses the 'subject' experiences a 'sympatico' vibration (even though the rocking motion has stopped) which tends to intensify as the session progresses and which I can only describe as feeling like becoming a human 'tuning fork'. My session always leaves me very relaxed and yet 'stimulated' or 'alert'. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.................. Since the people on 'the list' are daily focused on issues relating to the transmission of vibrations I thought you might like to know. ...and no, I am not a Traeger therapist (nor married to, nor related to, nor trying to drum up business for one). Best, Rich Olmsted
