Oftentimes when flying, travelers may find themselves with a few minutes to spare prior to their flight, just enough time to get a bite to eat and a quick chair massage to address those shoulder knots. However, there are those *fun* times when travel plans get a full upheaval with an unexpectedly long flight delay or layover time. This happened even more than usual over the past few months, when much of the country was experiencing quite the winter storm.
Passengers are always pleasantly surprised by our oasis-like feel, and simply ‘spotting the tree’ can bring a huge sigh of relief, particularly when that 25 minute layover has suddenly become a 2 and a half hour layover.
But imagine the surprise of turning that time, usually spent standing around, catching up on your reading, or browsing knickknacks, into a spa day?
At our Portland International Airport location, in addition to our Sangha Room chair massage treatments, we have two private treatment rooms, where we offer a range of styles of therapeutic full body massage. We also offer a menu of ancient Ayurvedic spa treatments, such as Garshana, a traditional exfoliating massage done with raw silk gloves, using long strokes on the body to increase circulation to help increase the elimination of dead skin cells. The skin is the main eliminative organ of the body, and we could all use help eliminating stress and impurities, especially when travelling! Our Glowing Grace package, consisting of the Garshana service paired with a full body massage, is a great way to melt the time away, as well as your stress level, so you arrive at your destination feeling open and ready to receive whatever gifts the world has for you. So next time you find yourself with some time to kill before your flight, go online and book your treatment, or come visit us, across from C11. Surely, after your visit, you will wonder why you haven’t been working us into your travel plans every time you fly.

When Briana and I were creating the Dragontree Life Coach training program, we had lots and lots of meetings to discuss the curriculum. During one of those meetings I suddenly remembered something that happened in a classroom about 20 years earlier . . .
I was in graduate school for Asian medicine and I was taking a course in a subtle form of healing called Jin Shin Do. It involves touching acupuncture points on a patient’s body with minimal pressure. The idea isn’t to give a massage or manipulate the tissue, but to simply make contact, forming circuits between the points and supporting them to perform their therapeutic functions.
At the same time, I was studying massage, herbal medicine, and acupuncture – modalities where both practitioner and patient could agree that something more “obvious” was being done. In comparison I had some doubts about whether Jin Shin Do would accomplish anything, but I was pleasantly surprised. As the weeks passed and my classmates and I treated each other, we all noticed improvements in our physical and psychological health. And because the intervention was so gentle, there weren’t any side effects.
I was especially amazed at how recipients’ experiences were affected when the practitioners were secretly instructed to hold a certain mental focus during the treatment. For instance, sometimes the instructor would have the practitioners think about what they were going to make for dinner, or about their finances, or to keep the word “love” in mind while touching the recipient.
One focus resulted in the best experiences for the recipients. When the practitioners were told (without the recipients’ knowledge) to hold in mind the phrase “I am here for you,” the recipients reported feeling the deepest relaxation, profound peace, and a sense of trust in the process. (Unsurprisingly, when the practitioners spent the session thinking about dinner or money, the recipients reported that it didn’t feel like the treatment did anything).
Though it was a fleeting experience, it taught me a lot about what humans want and how we can best support each other. When it came to developing the coaching curriculum, this memory shaped our approach. While it may sound great to be able to solve people’s problems for them, often it’s even more supportive to be a steadfast presence for them – to “hold space” so they can safely feel and explore what’s happening for them . . . and discover the solution themselves.
This recognition sometimes comes as a big relief to coaches (or anyone in the healing arts) because it means you don’t have to have all the answers. In fact, I think it’s safe to say you’ll never have them. You can let yourself off the hook.
If you care for people and like to help, if you feel joy from seeing someone grow and develop their superpowers, you can do this. If you’re able to say, “I am here for you,” you’re able to support healing and evolution. And if you’d like some instruction in doing this work – some heart-centered, compassionate, holistic, nature-based, and thoroughly beautiful instruction – please check out our Dragontree Life Coaching Program.
Be well,
Peter

[post_content] => This time of year is always very exciting and busy. If you are a student you are taking notes and cramming for final exams. Parents are finalizing family vacations, play dates and group sports for their children and themselves. And everyone else is getting bombarded with camping trip and barbeque evites via Facebook. It’s all fun (well, apart from taking finals) but when it’s all added up it can be very stressful!
The four comments I keep getting from my clients recently are:
- My skin feels so dehydrated
- My skin looks really dull
- I’m breaking out along my jawline and chin a lot lately
- I have little red bumps on my forehead
All of these conditions can be directly linked to stress. Forget that morning cup of caffeine, stress is the most dehydrating thing you can do to your skin.
Essential oils for your skin is great for hydrating your skin. It can cause your skin to look and feel dull and dry, cause breakouts along your jawline/chin/upperneck area, and the most common condition I’ve been seeing lately are the tiny little red bumps along the forehead. Depending on your skin type, being dehydrated (whether it’s from stress, poor water intake, etc) can be really irritating to your epidermis. This irritation can present itself in little under the surface red bumps. They aren’t pimples so be sure to leave them be, rather than treating them with any sort of acne spot treatment that will further dehydrate your skin. You will do far more good spending a day or two being ultra-aware of how much water you’re drinking.
My suggestions to help beat stress & get your skin hydrated:
- Drink more water
*So few people I meet are properly hydrated. Rather than asking how hydrated you are, you should ask how dehydrated you are! Especially in Portland where everyone is so active all year long. Drink more water than you feel you need, and always drink BEFORE you feel thirsty.
- Meditate to soothe stress
*I know, I know…who has the time, right? Well make time friends! Because the benefits of designating a bit of every day to be still and breathe are endless. Internally, externally, mentally, physically, spiritually…there are so many perks! It took me a while to be convinced enough to make this a habit, but now it will be one for life!
- Look to your diet
*What you put in your body is a direct reflection of how it functions. Our skin is our largest organ yet it is the one to receive nutrients and hydration last. So the more leafy green veggies you eat and water you drink, the better your insides will function and your outsides will look. Eat a lot of colorful fruits and vegetables that are rich in vitamins minerals and antioxidants, and your skin will thank you!
Cheers to better health and beautiful skin this summer!
