I was in the New York Film Academy Cafe, and this mother and boy (about 4 years old) walk in the cafe. I was just doing some homework, when I glace over at the boy and his mother, who are now deep in conversation. The Mother is telling the boy a story, and she is getting really really into it. Using hand motions and scary eyes and lips to add dramatic effect. Every time the mom did something new with her hands or face, the boy would gasp, and scream, and sit there in AWWWWW. He could not believe what was unfolding in front of him. The words coming out of his mothers mouth were soaring through his brain like hypogriphes in hogwarts. His eyes were glued to everything the mother was doing; completely and utterly mesmerized by the magic of the story. I could have sat there and watch it all day. Seriously, what could make life more worth it than that!!
Also something else I feel needs to be shared with the world today. This is called the most brilliant use of a certain muscle we don't use often enough. It's called the play muscle. We are told, as we get older, not to use that muscle. It gets shut off and we sort of forget we even have it. What i am about to reveal is an example of what it feels like to use your play muscle, and let your imagination take you somewhere you never dreamed possible (okay that might be a little dramatic) But you get what I mean.
This will blow your mind, literally!!
Get ready to learn something you never thought you could ever understand. Take it away Rachelle!!
The 11 laws of Neurology have been split up and matched with 11 different teams in the MLB!! Enjoy the comparisons, they will blow your mind (pun intended, haha) Mind...get it, cause it's about the brain, and neurons, and stuff. Right, okay, lets get right to it!
Division # 1 - blue jays - bell's law - my favourite and easiest to remember --> massage along the spine gives strong sensory stimulation (the blue jays doing well in their division, making good trades for the future gives me a strong sensory stimulation along the spine)
Division # 2 - new york yankees - i love them and hate them and i know a lot about them because they are always the most popular team - highly effective but use their money to get what they want a lot of the time - hilton's law --> determing whether pain from the joint itself, the muscles around the joint or skin over the joint can be diffecult because stimulation of each area will affect all parts. As for the yankee's, they have all around talent on every single part of the field and lineup. you think that their strong point is hitting but then it ends up being their closing pitching that you can't get one single hit off of in the 9th inning (so, the joint is their hitting but the muscles and skin are also connected to the teams success - which is the fielding and clutch pitching)
Division # 3 -Kansas City Royals - worst team in the league (as far as I know), boring to watch --> law of unilaterality (light stimulation remains fairly localized in response to massage) - they don't have any real ability to make a difference in the overall standings. you hardly hear about them unless you are from the local area, otherwise they only have light stimulation to the rest of baseball fans.
Division # 4 - Tampa Bay Rays. They have been a sleeper team until the last three years when people realized that they had made a lot of good choices/trades with their young players. Anyways, Hooke's Law (method's that lengthen tissue must be intense enough to match existing shortening and then slightly exceed it to create change). The Rays, match the team they are playing against almost every time until the 8th or 9th inning when they exceed the opponite just slightly and end up winning the game (clutch homerun/hit/baserunning).
Division # 5 - Boston Red Sox. No doubt one of the best teams in the league BUT they often don't make the playoffs because somewhere down the season they lose focus and lose a few too many games. This is like Cannon's Law of Denervation (an injured area may hyper-react to all sensory stimulation even after it's healed -- a cold, stress, can't sleep -- and previous injured areas flare up like a surgical wound incision can be very sensitive). when the red sox lose focus it is like how the body can hyper-react to all sensory stimulation because of a distraction, injuries, etc. which causes the team to get irritated with each other, mad that they are losing, etc.
Division # 6 - Seattle Marianers - Weber's Law (for massage method to change sensory perception, the intesity of method must match and then just exceed existing sensation). Kinda like Hooke's law so maybe I should have picked a team like Phili or Yanks but i can't help but think of Cheif Weber from grey's anatomy and that he is from seattle. haha.
Division # 7 - LA dodgers and LA angles - these two teams are from the same city but different divisions (one is from the national and one from american league so they could end up playing each other in the final). They are matched with the Law of Symmetry, Intensity, and Radiation (all clumped together in my notes because they have a similar implication for Massage which is by increasing levels of massage intensity, a bilateral effect can be created even if only one side of the body is messaged --> useful for massage to painful or injured areas, massage to unaffected side, painful areas can be addressed without receiving direct work). These two teams push each other to be better even though they are not directly important to each other. by one team increasing levels/intensity of play, they create a bilateral effect by helping the other team start to play better too. If one's hurting/losing, the good play of the other team can get them to start playing better.
Division # 8 - Texas Rangers - now this team made the finals last year but from what I was watching, it looked like this team barely had to lift a finger to get there. it seemed like it was easy as pie. So this is connected to the All or none law (Bowditch's Law --> work and techniques used do not need to be extremely intense to produce a positive response. Just need enough sensory stimulation to begin the process). The Rangers didn't have to be too intense to be able to get to where they wanted, which is the world series (their positive response.
Division # 9 - Philidephia Phillies - this team has the best starting rotation in the league (Jeff hamels, cliff lee and roy halliday). This will no doubt be a winning team. I relate them to the Law of Facilitation (body likes sameness, which produces habitual patterns. After a pattern has been established, less stimuation is required to activate response) because the philies got a taste of winning last year and they ain't going back to losing - after they acquired cliff lee, it will require less work of jeff hamels and roy halliday (makes the job easier or less stimulation) but they will still have the same pattern in place (winning) beacuse it will get easier and easier to win.
Division # 10 - Baltimore Orioles - another losing team that just can't seem to get their act together since Roberto Alomar left:) They are connected to the law of generalization (this response must be avoided if possible. It is importatnt to keep invasive massage below intensity level that causes a general body response). The orioles want to avoid being an embarrassment (mind you they are in the same division as the yanks, red sox, rays and blue jays) so they try to stay below a certain intensity level instead of trying really hard and then just end up losing anyways because all the teams in the AL east are better (general body response)
Division # 11 - Arndt - Schulz Law (to encourage specific response, use slower/gentler methods, to shut off a response, use deeper methods). Cito gaston was very passive, slow, gentle, kind with his players, which had a huge affect on his players. They respected him and wanted to play well for him (a specific response). On the other hand, if he would have been more invasive, angry, shovanistic methods of coaching he would have lost their respect, the team would have been divided and nobody would have wanted to play for him (inhibits/shuts off response)
Bet you never thought that was possible. Well, thank you Rachelle for you insight. Who wouldn't want to get a massage from massager thearapist who can talk about neurons like that.
Well, good luck too all as you continue to warm up and use you play muscles. Do whatever it takes to use it this week. My challenge to you all!!
Sending out much love, light and laughter. Catch it and use it all week. My gift to you, and then pass it on:)
Cheers!

no strings attached to jersey boys
Hello folks,
We've arrived at the end of week 6 here in nyc. It was a great week, really quite exciting (I mean...it sort of goes with out saying that every moment in nyc is exciting) but this week I actually went to see a couple shows. On Tuesday night, JD and I went to see no strings attached with Natalie and Ashton, and it was exactly what I wanted to see. It was technically the second movie that I have seen in the cinemas, since i've been here, the first being this movie I saw called, "home," (all about the earth and how is formed and what it has become, and how we can continue to collaborate and join in helping mother earth; some absolutely gorgeous footage of this place we call HOME, I recommend anyone to see it. It is quite long, but think about the history of the earth and it's hard to make it any shorter than 2 and a half hours. It's narrated by Glenn Close, Cam it really outlines the history of the earth and where the earth is headed, not necessarily in a totally negative way, WATCH IT)
Okay, we are back. This blog entry is going to be strung together through the day on my droid. What I am about to write about deserves an little introduction due to the fact that it involves going to the bathroom. Don't be alarmed I will be using terms such as #1 and #2, the rest is up to your imagination. We will leave it at that. I have made some new discovers about my body while settling in New York. Our bodies run in cycles- yes i've said this before, but really, our body's function in cycles. It's about finding a routine, and groove for your body to live in. So, now that i've prepped you all, i'm just going to throw this thought into the universe. I have never been more happy to #2 today. My body is in the process of finding a rhythm, and I am so happy about that. I think we all know what an amazing #2 feels like. And I am just relishing in it, right now.
Okay, moving forward to the rest of this blog post. Jersey Boys with No Strings Attached...
No Strings Attached was exactly what I needed to see when I saw it, and I went to the movie Theatre knowing that is was going to be a chick flick and that that is what my brain needed after these first six weeks here in nyc. It was obviously not a movie that sparks tons of conversation afterwards. Chick flick rom coms are all about giving the food to the costumer was signs on everything so you know exactly what you are getting. The only surprise is dessert, which you know is either cheesecake or chocolate cake. A thriller or dramatic film comes to you with each item of food wrapped in tin foil, a continual guessing game for your stomach, and you are likely going to be blindfolded as well, so you have no idea what you are getting yourself into, besides that fact that you can't see anymore. No Strings Attached was exactly what I wanted to see, and I went with a dear friend JD, which made the experience that much better. It also shed some different colors of light on love (cliche as that may sound) you know what, sometimes when you like someone, they aren't always going to reciprocate feelings back right aways. You just have to do what your feeling and they will respond to that. Then the ball is in their court. It's not as if you have to be overbearing, you just have to follow what you instincts and heart are saying, otherwise you will always wonder what it could have been. Everyone is different, and there is no formula, so just feel your way through the mud and you will be surprised how clear it can get if you just open up and express yourself to the person you adore!!
Speaking of adoring things...Jersey Boys, I freaking loved it. I went to see it on Wednesday night with a friend Kristen, and we both were completely entertained the whole time. It was a beautiful story strung together with absolutely ravishing music. The crazy higher than my mothers father on mount everest. I want to play the character of Bob Guardio in Jersey Boys ASAP. It is such a perfect and wonderful role. Adding that to the list of amazing roles I will be thankful to play on broadway in the next 5 years. The story is awesome and really fun, yet quite emotional for the audience. It takes you through the life of the,"Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons." The songs were like barber shops treasures, with harmony's that took me back to my choir days. It would be a show I could do 8 days a week, and enjoy every minute on stage. It's just that kind of show!! I think part of the reason I liked it so much was because I saw myself up on that stage playing the character of Bob.
Well that is all for now. Off to clean the bathroom, have a bath, make a delicious ring of sausage with potatoes, onions, and sweet potatoes. And then i'm going to see wicked tonight. I'm sure I will have lots to say about that as well. Cheers to all!!

Ready for Breakfast!
Do you ever go to bed so excited for the morning because you know how amazing that breakfast is going to be when you wake up. I'm exhausted right now, but I am still excited to get up at have my delicious toast with honey and almond (yes, that is correct) Almond Butter. None of this peanut butter, weeza go straight to the great stuff. (I mean, I love peanut butter too, but Almond butter, now that is just a whole different ball game) It reminds me of working at Fresh Cafe (ahhhh, sigh and pause for the beauty of Fresh Cafe) I loved working there. A big hi to Winnipeg, go to Fresh, it's unlike anything else in the world. And with the toast I will be having some delicious...you must have guessed it by now...Cream of Wheat. I can't believe how many times Cream of Wheat has come up on this blog, if only she knew the effect she had on me, that Cream of Wheat!!
What a busy yet productive weekend it was, and week. This week I started to notice all the ups and downs of the week. It's just sort of bound to happen. I don't mean to sound pesemistic. I think it's just part of life, really!! We go through ups and downs, highs and lows, straights and crookeds, fasts, and slows, rounds and squares, buttons and trees, hats and cats, muscles and pipes. haha, I couldn't resist taking that too far. That pretty much describes me week. It's an exciting ride every week, with new discoveries all the time. I finally made my Fish Bowl of Knowledge and Power. Because i am somewhat new to the knowledge and lingo of the Musical Theatre world, I have decided to start a Fish Bowl of Knowledge and Power. In this industry, the more people you know, and know of, the better you will fare in any conversation between you and anyone else in the business. You just gotta know who certain people are, if you know what I mean. I changed the name slightly to work on my wall. So this is how it works. I keep a list of people that i hear mentioned in class, or anywhere, and I take one of those names every day and I research that person throughout the day. Making little discoveries all day. Then I put there name up on my wall under a sign that says "Power People." People that understand the power of show business. I think it's going to be a great way to keep learning about influencial people in the business.
This week i spent a lot of time filming for student NYFA films. It was a lot of fun and great experience. I really love film. The doing it over and over and over is kinda fun. it's like one big rehearsal all the time, you just keep doing it over and over. Both projects were very different, but the actors and directors were great to work with. I just can't wait to see how they turn out.
Okay, the clock is pushing me into my bed, I must go!! More to come this week. Cheers to all!!

Do Everything!
Hello friends!!
Wow, it's been an exciting week, filled with ups and downs, sides and splits, bottles and caps, nickers and socks, etc... (that sounded better in my head)
It's amazing how life can go so up and down. One moment you can feel like there is a huge weight holding you down, and the next you can feel like it's all running smoothly. I've had an interesting time dealing with money and banks. It's no ones fault really, but it's just shocking to me that in our globalized world, it is so difficult to transfer money from a Canadian TD to an American TD. But you know what, there is room for reframing, because once again I have had to practice a little thing I like to call Patience!! Money is one of those things that you have to respect and trust will always be there. When you worry about it not being there, it's likely you will never have enough money. Usually you will have just barely NOT enough, because you are always worried about having enough money. Rather than being worried, I have had to trust that the money with always be there somehow. I don't really ask how, because that is a question I don't know the answer to most of the time. Now lets to confuse trust with being stupid and silly. You have to RESPECT money, because it's something we use. It's not the be all end all of life, but it is something we use on a day to day basis. It runs our lives, in some ways, but then on other levels in really quite insignificant.
So money is Money! Great, but I am human so sometimes i still get a little worked up about it!! I think we all do, unnecessarily. Did that make sense??
Right, so moving on...I had a discovery today about the human body (and you can correct me if i'm wrong, cause I don't know anything technical here) but I have always had an a feeling that although the male body doesn't have a "period" every month, it does run in a cycle. When I had acne, my face would always run in cycles, getting really bad, and then subsiding a bit, and then getting bad again. And it was always usually pretty consistent. kind of like getting your period, haha, sort of. Anyways, I still feel like my body runs in a cycle. Like this week I have been craving, like I mean craving, and actually indulging in Chocolate and Chips!! I can't get enough, and now it's getting a little ridiculous because I now I a bunch of sores on my tongue (kanker sores) because of all the sugar. And these aren't just normal kankers, they are literally imparing my speech. It's ridiculous. I can feel them all over my tongue right now, and it's painful. I was trying to each some food just a little while ago, and it almost wasn't possible. So solution, I'm going to sleep with SALT in my mouth. hahah, Just jokes. But I am going to gargle the bejonas' out of my tongue before I go to bed, cause I can't actually handle this anymore.
So that's my tongue story, probably exactly what you wanted to read about, coming all the way from NYC. Today I also realized that I still can't believe I'm here. It's one of those things, when you are living inside your dream, you always feel like it's a dream, until you touch someone, like actually hug, or poke or whatever, and it's not a dream at all. They are real, you are real, and it's all apart of YOUR actual LIFE! Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!
I have Improv today, which was brilliante! It's always such an explosion of creativity in those 2 and a half hours with Kevin. We just play games the whole time, AHHH, how much better could life be. Then I did bank stuff, then I had a little acting class with our new acting teacher Dan. We had a wonderful man named Aaron for the first 4 weeks, and sadly, yet filled with delight, he was taken away from us because of getting 4 gigs in one week. So it's rather exciting, because he is getting work as an actor in NYC, but we don't get to enjoy his company and amazing teaching style anymore. Bittersweet!!
Then I ended the evening off with an amazing bonding moment with my new dear friend Celine-Stephanie-Dion!! I went, for the first time in my life, to a Karaokee bar, and it was freakin amazing!! I don't know where they have been all my life! Everyone needs to go and just rip it up!!! Stephanie and I call ourselves Barbara and Celine!! Completely fitting!
Well, that was today. I'm looking forward to a sleep in tomorrow, but also a chance to get on top of some reading for Song Interpratation class, as well as get some Speech Homework done! and make myself some amazing Cream of Wheat. I have been dying to have some all week. Man alive! just give me some Cream of Wheat. I am so excited for tomorrow morning now. Tonight is going to be an amazing sleep, just because the anticipation of Cream of Wheat! I will definitely be blogging about my 1st NYC Cream of Wheat experience tomorrow, so get ready for that. Brace whatever bone you can brace in your body, because the Wheat is about to be Creamed!!
Okay folks, I'm off for now. Ta ta, and toot toot!!

gotta get back into this
It's been a little bit ridiculous how inconsistent I have been with this blogging thing, but the new blogger app that I just downloaded to my phone will make it easier to write a little more regularly. I am currently driving through Queens with some friends that I am making a short film with. It's kinda cool to see different parts of New York City. It's huge, every borough feels like a whole new city. I still have to see the bronxs and Staten island.
Today I am going to do some much needed laundry. It's one of those things that you put off and put off, until you literally have to do it. and the process of doing laundry in NYC is quite different than back home. I could go to the normal laundry mate, but that means hauling all my stuff outside. Instead, there is this genius system where Landry places come pick up your laundry and do it, then fold it and drop it off, for a certain price per pound. Kinda makes me feel like I can't do my own laundry, but when you have a busy schedule, and not many bigger chunks of time when you could go do laundry yourself, this system is brilliant.
(Ahhh, crossing the Williamsburg bridge, it's like a tiny slice of heaven everytime I cross over to and from Brooklyn. Today is a gorgeous winter's day. The harbour is gleaming with the reflection of the sun on it's splashy waters. The picturesque view of Manhattan will stay engraved in my memory till I die. I look forward to it every morning and night.)
Anyways, it's laundry day, and I gotta get going on learning another song for my interpretation class. It's from Guys and Dolls called,"luck be a lady." It's a pretty popular song because of Frank Sinatra. I also want to see a movie today. Either 127 Hours or Black Swan. Either or is going to be brilliant. Gotta get ready for the Oscars!!!!
I'm almost at my stop, I best sign off for now! Just wanted to say i'm back...I want to blog 3 or 4 times a week. I'll post some videos too. There is always something amazing going down on the streets of NYC.
Best wishes to you all, sending out love, light and laughter, all day long.
