Speak the Truth and Lose the Weight
art source Terrence Osborne
One of the best things we can do for our good health is speak the truth— plain and simple. If we stuff words when we know we should free them they turn toxic, weighing us down. Speak your mind with strength, compassion and cleansing of self as motivations and feel your vitality soar. I’ll do the same. My guess is that we’re going to feel whole lot lighter.

Sits Bones-- Ischial Tuberosity & Surrounding Tissue
When we sit for along periods of time there is a lot of persistent pressure on the sits bones (ischial tuberosity) and the supportive tissue. It can get very angry even stuck. It’s important to bring some energy and movement to the area to stimulate blood flow through movement, massage and using your own body weight for gentle compression of the attachments. The Hamstrings is one muscle group that is hugely effected when there is stagnation or resistance in this posterior hip area.
