Glam hosts Zen Body Therapy sessions this week

Imagine our delight at Glam when we were told Audrey Nakamura, a leading provider of Zen Body Therapy, would be in the Glam offices this week, providing one hour long sessions to those employees who could sign up fast enough Audrey started Zen Body Therapy work when her father was diagnosed with Alzheimers. She said after doctors said nothing could help him, the family found that Zen Body work helped both his mind, and his body. When he finally passed away close to 80 years old, his doctors said his body was that of a 40 year old! That was enough for her to become a teacher. I was in the interesting position of being one of the last in my office to have a session, since I signed up for Friday morning. I was thereby privy to all the stories that came out of my coworkers about their one hour with Audrey. I don’t think we talked about anything else all week This is amazing work, and for those of you who have never tried it, I would recommend it at least once. Be warmed that it is, for the most part (unless like Audrey says, your body is perfect – haha), very painful. The idea behind Zen Body Therapy, and the use of Rolfing (named for Ira Rolf who invented the body alignment work) is to place (intense) pressure on your ‘trigger’ points. Your trigger points are those where your muscles are tight and clenched, and are preventing proper blood flow and thereby storing toxins. This pressure, as I mentioned, is immensely painful in parts. When you tell her it hurts, she smiles and digs deeper, even using her elbows! After she did one of my arms (surprisingly painful, too; Audrey said that very few people mark their arms as trouble spots, but most people end up finding work on the arms very painful), she made me lift both arms, and the one she had worked on practically floated right up, whereas the other one felt like lead. Honestly, I walked out an hour later feeling somewhere in the middle of jello pudding and a feather. She requests that you drink enough water all day until your pee is completely clear, and take a hot bath with 1/2 c each of epsom salt, baking soda and sea salt, to encourage the drainage of the released toxins. I’ve spent 4 days watching my cowokers who’ve had this body work fade by 3pm, so I’m waiting for it to hit me, and then drive home and jump into my detox bath
