Foot massage experience...

hmmm... so if one+ week of subjecting my body to Chinese herbs didn't make me a believer yet of the powers of Oriental healing, i went with Auntie T to a Chinese foot doctor... now u wonder what i'm doing, drinking awful smelling Chinese herbs (actually i think it's not bad, just a tad too salty) and going to a "masseuse"... no she's a doctor, ok?

i guess it doesn't hurt to try it out... it's only what, 70 bucks. i do make more than a grad student now so why not?

i first had to soak my feet in some hot herbal concuction this Chinese lady prepared... my comment to her was: "what a waste of Chinese herbs" but then i realized this is like her job and that it wasn't really a waste. i guess it's better to massage Chinese herb-smelling feet all day...

about 5 min into the massage i guess i was a firm believer... by rubbing my feet and feeling for bumps here and there, she told me practically every problem i've had since birth and how to get rid of them... i have to say i was very impressed... she also told me how to get rid of most of them.

let me give an example. she told me i like to cross my right leg on top of my left. i was like "what are u talking about?" then today i had to stop myself from doing exactly what she said, because apparently the muscles on the right side of my body are super tight...

her conclusion: i'm like a car that needs a lot of small maintenance done on it... no biggies, just a lot of little things...

hmmmmm... sounds awfully like my real-life car to me... except it costs a lot more than 70 bucks.

if u're also looking for some fine-tuning in life, i highly recommend trying it out... of course u have to find a good doctor.
