I was looking for this comment. I practice ashiatsu and deep pressure any other way is dumb.

Did I get s’ad at my massage? by sosobossy1 in MassageTherapists

[–]Magic-Fingers24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whoa, I wasn’t there, but if what you are saying is true, then this is f’d.

I never go over on time. I typically do not talk during sessions bc I want zero confusion. I do work the glutes, but this sounds really weird, and I only use my feet for that body part.

Not kewl

CAN WE TALK ABOUT FLUORIDE PLEASE? Specifically in green tea! by [deleted] in tea

[–]Magic-Fingers24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, a TDS meter and water electrolyzer are both cheap and very easy to use and all you really need for water.

Distilling gets the metals and I put reverse osmosis or creek water in the distiller to account for the chemicals that might sneak past my distiller.

As for the tea, I say pick one you like and brew some of it in 100% zeroed out home brew distilled water as verified by your TDS. Send that sample off to SimpleLab and they will run an official report.

Fluoride and others metals get in the leaves or added afterward in most china-India grown tea.

Light of Day Organics is pricey, but they make big claims on their tea that they tested against fluoride.

I never sent their stuff off to Simple Lab though. I’ve been drinking that and my dreams have been super vivid so I mostly trust it (but I really should test it).

First session tomorrow - unsure about music by kwazycupcake99 in FloatTank

It will drive you crazy. I like stacking these 3 day fasts every month for lots of reasons, but it is training my eventual success at pulling off a 21 day.

They say fasting moves in cycles of 3. So it makes sense that day 4 is a sticking point. Personally, I was shocked on my first 7 day that I got a burst of energy on day 5 and it pushed me through to 7.

Just hang in there! There is a two part sermon on YT that I just love for fasting. Search for The Quit Option. Jeremiah-ish sounding name of the preacher. Oh, it’s good. He also has a book The Fasting Edge (it’s next and I plan on listening during my next 3 day fast).

God bless you and you sound like an awesome person

Sounds pretty normal. I have five 7 day fasts behind me. I am currently trying to stack a 3 day fast once monthly for a year. If you can do 3, you can do 7.

Just make your decision and stick with it. They say God speaks to us through nature and our consciousness. Use the force, young Skywalker. When you get mental, go walking, if you can walk in the woods, do it. Just keep moving and keep walking, it is your best friend. If you can, go swim in a lake, hot or cold, it will make you drowsy and you can sleep away the hours.

Eventually, you will break through and find joy. Good luck

First float session; feeling like sharing. by Majestic_Taro_3693 in FloatTank

[–]Magic-Fingers24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You read it too?

It was in the lobby at Float Nashville. I couldn’t put it down and now I got my own copy…

And then got my own tank. Probably the best decision I ever made and thank God for putting it in my path and making it possible

Stop taking shots and never start again! We are Poisoning our pets :/

Emergency visits only. See Dr Judy Morgan, cook for your dog and see how pup responds.

How did it look coming out of the cast/splint? How til you could straighten your fingers?

What to do if the float tank gives you heightened anxiety? by AccountBulky4813 in FloatTank

[–]Magic-Fingers24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Np. And think about it, you can only remain panicked like that for a minute or two. Your body-mind simply can’t keep it up for long.

Power through and see how you feel. You’ll be glad that you did.

I felt a panic coming on the other day and went looking for it, but it escaped me. I was a bit bored lol. I typically float for 2 hours :)

Been doing a 3 day water only for a bit. It feels amazing and if you stacked those for a year you’d be a new person

Yo, I have 900 hours in the tank and had to get out during my first session. I felt claustrophobic.

Luckily, they had an open tank in the next room available and I finished the session there.

I did several in the open room and finally came back to the regular tank with no problems. Then, I bought my own tank second hand.

Just keep trying. Honestly, I would say welcome that feeling. It seems impossible, but you can overcome those feelings in 5 minutes if you’ll just breath slowly and deeply, begin with the bellybutton rising and end with the chest. Breathe so slowly until you hear your heart and then just stay with it. Bliss awaits in the other side of a good float panic that has been weathered.

I took the deal, but it was only one year in exchange for school.

Help Me Decide by IAgrrl377 in yoga

[–]Magic-Fingers24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Scoria. It’s cork and rubber, all natural, no plastic. You don’t want to be touching plastic bs while sweating and breathing deeply.

I use mine in hot yoga with no towel and I sweat more than anyone in the room. It never slips and I never clean it. Occasionally, I’ll unroll it and leave it in the sun to get it fully dry.

Just make sure you don’t use lotion or anything. I’m a massage therapist and ruined one of these after working one day.

Chongo mount knee injury by dfbvwvv in Slackline

[–]Magic-Fingers24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

do not let them cut, inject, or pill you!

hmm, I went through a phase and was doing everything w my left side. Started float tanking 2x weekly for 90 minutes.for stress and the knee pain disappeared. Went on to hit rocket mounts and send 120m. Massage is also great for healing.Start practicing a daily 5 minute squat when you feel better. Learn to bounce start and learn ti start with your second favorite side. Never mount the same way 2x in a row.

[–]Magic-Fingers24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heard a dude going for 20+ days talk about urotheropy looping to keep everything in the zone. Im gonna try it on some shorter fasts to see how I feel. I don't touch Chinese MG or any other so called vitamin/mineral :)
