WTC MASSAGE!
How thoughtful are our choices; and, How choiceful are our thoughts!?!
We will never forget!
We are all on the same planet Earth! Since 9/11 this is apparent. We've helped each other honorably and heroically. Unfortunately, tragedy had to remind us. What is the best way to participate today?
I am thankful that time passes and heals all wounds; but, how long will it take?! When will we feel alive again? Ground Zero workers say "when the smell leaves my lungs, the pictures in my head are replaced with something more powerful, and this knot leaves my aching shoulders." NYC locals are just now being able to articulate the shock that's been in their eyes since 9/11. A couple of words; A couple of tears; then, back to working on the horror.
Making today a little more bearable for those still coughing up the dust.
Making today inspirational and tomorrow livable is the current order of business for all affected. The journey ahead is arduous.
The Carolina Emergency Response Massage Team (CERMT) and The United Aromatherapy Effort (UAE); have made a grand impact, already. Our team of volunteers has given massage and aromatherapy to well over one thousand different NYC Firefighters, Police Officers, Social workers, construction workers, office personnel, volunteers and anyone else personally effected by the 9/11 atrocity. Most everyone we met lined up and welcomed the chance for the stress relieving massage and aromatherapy. They want us to come back. There are so many more people to be helped.
Studies have shown that to manage Critical Incident Stress and Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome; A fifteen minute massage and aromatherapy has made some of the most significant benefits in healing the individual. Massage addresses sore muscles that are in dire need of increased circulation; and, the nervous system welcomes the recharging relaxation. Aromatherapy with pure essential oils stimulates and refreshes an overwhelmed olfactory and limbic system.
Ground Zero workers report that "Out of all the loving gifts and donations we've received; the massage and aromatherapy was the best. It changed the way I felt (which I needed desperately), and I didn't have to find a place to store anything." "Thank you CERMT and UAE!"
I have never given so much so freely. Thank you Family and Friends for helping. There is so much more to do. My humble request is to enlist the support of any individual that agrees with this purpose and method of healing. Would you consider the chance to help us help each other? All donations received fund our food, shelter and transportation.
Our intention is For Giving only. It hurts to have so much just taken away. It Is Healing To Give.
Signed with Love, Chris Earl LMBT.
