Hi Barb! This is such an interesting blog post! ABM sounds like something I'd like to learn more about in real life. I work with the alexander technique method and I use both a super slow, super light touch, and a deeper touch when it seems to be what the body needs and wants. Breathing "all the way into" my hands when I touch helps me relax my body. I want to share with you an interesting video on language and the brain: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k61nJkx5aDQ and the paper: http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v532/n7600/full/nature17637.html I look forward to reading your next update! Warm regards, Ruth Susanna

Hi Barb! Thank you for sharing your wonderful blog posts. I want to share my inspiration with you and Anna! His name is Tony, and here he is, along with a bunch of explorers of ever increasing happiness! Your videos are an inspiration to me, in my work with children with or without special needs, and in my never ending work with myself. Here we go, a video from our jam session yesterday! I'm the woman with a violin, a pony tail, a fever, and almost no voice. https://youtu.be/AXRoDmZDo1s Enjoy, and may everything that is Prince live on forever with his wonderfulness and genious! Warm regards, Ruth Susanna
