I like to describe LMTs as ‘the super nurturers of the world’. I know so many therapists that have a huge client load, while also taking care of a family at home, plus about fifty thousand other things on a daily basis. Underline the word ‘super’!
I work on several therapists regularly, and I can feel the stress in their tissue – upper traps as dense as a football player’s, QLs as tight as a ditch digger’s, and forearms as overly-toned as a carpenter’s. I know you know what I mean. I’m the same way.
Then there are all those other commitments that need your attention and other people that need your nurturing. Your hands touch so many in so many ways. You spread your light everywhere you go. It’s ok to admit it – you love it!
But sometimes, that light looks a little dim. Sometimes, you get spread too thin, and you’re the one needing the nurturing. My wish for you this Thanksgiving is that you get nurtured beyond your expectations! You deserve it.
I’ve been visiting my mother in Atlanta a lot lately. She’s got dementia and an assortment of physical issues, though none are critical right now, thankfully. She’s been an incredibly strong, independent woman for more than half a century. She raised two boys as a single waitress in New York City back when such things were uncommon and looked down upon.
Meanwhile, she argued with me for the last couple of years every time I brought up the subject of having a caregiver come in and help her with things like cooking, cleaning, shopping, etc. She adamantly refused, using every ounce of strength she had to fight me and keep living independently.
Now suddenly, she’s in a situation where she has to have a regular caregiver come in and help her. And it’s astonishing to see! Once she gave up that fight, it’s like she flipped a switch. She dearly loves the caregiver I found for her and asks about her even on the days when she’s not there. This would have been impossible even just a short time ago.
As I watched all this going on, I had the strong perception that she had this one major hurdle to jump while she’s still here on the planet. I felt strongly that she had to let go of that resistance to being helped. She had to let go of the notion that she had to do it all, and nobody else could do it good enough. Do you know anyone like that??
It’s a huge lesson for me. I’m hoping I’ll figure it out a lot sooner – and my son sooner than me.
On my last trip to Atlanta, I brought my mother a Biomat to use on her recliner, where she spends most of her time. She absolutely loves it! The far infrared heat penetrates up to 6 inches into the tissue, warming the muscles and fascia and other structures from the inside out, without feeling hot to the touch.
I had done a lot of research about how the Biomat is supposed to help with regulation of high blood pressure and of sleep patterns, both of which she’s been dealing with for some time. Although the Biomat is a little pricey, it’s really priceless the way my mother loves it. And the way my clients love it. I have one on my table at the office, as well as on everyone’s beds here at home.
And I love it, too. So much so that I became a Biomat distributor. My clients like it so much that several of them have bought them, too. The manufacturer is very generous with commissions, bonuses, and product certificates toward free Biomats. So, the Biomats I bought for me and my family have all been paid for and more. It turns out to be a great way to make an extra income.
If you’re interested in buying a Biomat – for your table or your home or for family members – email me at 2yourhealth@earthlink.net or call me at 800-584-1562, and we’ll get one out to you. And if you want to be a distributor, I can help you with that, too.
There’s good information about the Biomat on my website. Check it out and let me know what you think:

And most of all, remember that you are important and need to be nurtured too, especially at this time of year. The better you take care of yourself, the more people you’ll be able to help, and the more you’ll be able to shine that light of yours.
Stay well,
John
