DEAR BODY, PLEASE FORGIVE ME, LOVE, YOUR CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
I’m feeling humbled today. I was going to write an article about my dermatome mapping process for publication in the American Society for the Alexander Technique Journal.

WHY IS MEDIA OVERWHELM A GOOD THING?
Photo by Nik Shuliahin Do you get overwhelmed trying to keep up with current news and events? That’s probably a good thing. Why? Because it means you are actually really sensitive underneath it all.
