Once upon a time I used to do massage as a way of connecting to people on a different and deeper level, because for me, bodies talk and communicate on many different levels.. when my hands are on the muscles, its almost like i can hear the muscles with my ears,,, and i can almost feel the interactions of the other person’s muscles in my own body…kind of like a synesthesia like effect.. For years, it was the way I felt most comfortable interacting with people while they talked.. almost as if I could understand a person better when I was able to pay attention and listen with my fingers and my eyes rather then my ears..
But, on the con, focusing on another person takes a lot out of me, and can be quite exhausting… have you ever noticed that the avg person tends to get pretty tired after five minutes of massaging someone let alone intently focusing on them for very long.. It’s not something everyone can do for long periods of time, let alone several hours in a day… so i realized that even though I enjoyed and felt good about giving away my time and my focusing ability to friends and family for free, I realized that the gift was something that was being abused when i gave constantly without getting anything back other then just simply joy.. yes, it fed my soul, but there are still logistics of needng to be able to do things for oneself and take care of oneself and get other tasks done and accomplished in order to stay alive.. I also realized I needed funding and help to accomplish some of my other dreamss.. esp two of my dreams which are to save my family’s properties and to be able to transform them into examples of what a sustainable regenerative urban edible oasis can be like for the community around them… This includes my own home, my mothers home, and a couple of small lots which exists over in a food desert and would greatly benefit the community around them..
Everything I do is towards both helping my family survive day to day, saving our home and property and for fundraising for those projects, and would be greatly overjoyed if you would donate towards them or share them with other folks you know, or if you could donate the money to me directly via paypal, google wallet or other , I would be even more overjoyed..
so other then to survive,and have enough money to buy myself and my family a few things for our own health and well-being, those are two of my biggest reasons why I ask for help now in exchange for the body listening sessions now and in fact one of the main reasons why I offer the body listening sessions now.. I do so hope you will help me towards these goals..

Noted, I am no longer a licensed or certified massage therapist, so I can no longer charge for traditional massages, but I have over 30 plus years of experience in doing simple basic body listening at the bare mim about once a week and at my busiest time sometimes over 10 hours a day everyday since I was about three years old. I am certain I have put over more then the 10,000 hours they say it takes to become good at something.
What I do has also evolved. I no longer do the traditional massage as I am no longer a certified or licensed therapist. Instead I have become more focused on alternative ways of listening to the body but it still comes combined with the past experiences and knowledge and questions I have picked up along the way.
My time and energy has also become more and more precious to me. I also only have a few hours a week to be able to give to people.. So access to me has become more valuable. If I had my way, unless I had won the lottery, I would ask for over a $10,000 a session, but I also understand that probably no one would honestly pay that. Plus most people who could really use some body listening time, have little to no access to any. But, because what is available is so limited, and ill be you lucky if I can get to you that week, I request that if you are helping with money, that it be about $150 – $200 minimum for the avg session. For the avg session, please set aside 2 to 3 hrs for both your own travel time and the time you get to experience listening to your own body. I will be setting aside a four hour section of my day for you. If you make more then $100/hr yourself, then I would appreciate your being more generous and giving a nice bonus donation to my son and my home. . see here for a proposal for a sliding scale fee to use for anyone whose services you use.w
But for those who make less then $200 a day, I am also a firm believer in the bartering system.. The time trade will depend upon market rates of what I would have to spend normally for such service and other factors as well. For example, if trading help around the house/garden, it would be a trade of three to one for a session depending on what was done during that time. But if you normally received about $30 -$50/hr, it would be a two to one trade. If you normally received $90 plus for your services, then it would be a one to one trade.
