Beyond even the immediate
members of her family, Jacobsen
recalls: “A couple of weeks ago a
friend came to stay and she was
having trouble with numbness in
her extremities. Thinking a strong
increase in circulation would help,
we spent an evening scraping her.
I say we, because by the end of
the night she had been scraped
not only by me, but also by three
enthusiastic
teenagers.
The
treatment happened on my living
room floor with a dog wandering
around and lots of laughter and
talking.”
The degree to which we accept
something into our lives and our
daily practices has a lot to do with
our experiences with it, and with
Thai Medicine and bodywork it has
clearly proven its worth to Nephyr
and her familiy. “My faith in these
remedies has become absolute.”,
she says, “It is not the faith of
someone who wants something
to be true, but rather the earned
understanding that comes from
repeated trial.”
For Jacobsen and her family,
touch is not something you simply
practice for part of the day; it’s a
lifestyle, a way of living well. It’s a
skill to be shared with our family
(and beyond).
”
Life is too sweet and too short to express
our affection with just our thumbs.
Touch is meant for more than a keyboard.
