New Webinar: The Cranial Nerves - From neuroanatomy to hands-on reflexology - 26-27-28 October https://mailchi.mp/touchpoint/cranialnerves_1

People who come into your life are not there to complete you, (you are whole and complete already). These people are an extension of your soul, a complement, and can ignite and compel, a beautiful surprise.
And they often come in quietly and comfortably – you know them even when you don’t know them and we should consider them gifts, possibilities of a dream realized.
But remember, when they show up, they may or may not stay…
It’s this mutual understanding that nothing lasts forever, everything is transient, and we need to honor these interactions as sacred as they are.
Every one of them has meaning and it works both ways – connected – right where we are supposed to be.

👣💚 **RAA MEMBERS — LET'S CONNECT!**

One of the best parts of being an RAA member is connecting with fellow reflexologists, sharing experiences, and learning from one another!

Our next **RAA Connects!** gathering is coming up, and we're talking about a topic that many practitioners have questions about!

📋 **Preparing Statements for Insurance, HSA & FSA Submissions**

Have you ever had a client ask for documentation to submit to their insurance company or use with their HSA or FSA?

🤔 What information should you include? How do you prepare a statement?

**Amy Kreydin (TX)** will join us to discuss the process of preparing statements for clients to submit for insurance, HSA, or FSA purposes.

📅 **Wednesday, November 4, 2026**
⏰ **7:00 PM Eastern**

💚 **THIS IS AN RAA MEMBERS-ONLY EVENT!**

RAA Connects! is an opportunity for members to network, exchange ideas, and have meaningful conversations about the business and practice of reflexology.

📧 **Registration information will be sent to your RAA email address.** Keep an eye on your inbox!

We hope to see you there! 👣

There's an old line that gets passed around in dance and theater: "Don't just do something, stand there." Til Luchau's latest piece in Massage & Bodywork applies that same idea to hands-on work, and the science behind it is worth understanding.

Fascia and connective tissues respond to load over time, not all at once. When you hold a gentle stretch and wait, the tissue gradually lengthens and softens. That response doesn't come from pushing harder. It comes from sustaining a modest load and giving it time. Move on too soon, and you cut the process short.

The nervous system works the same way. A pause gives the autonomic system room to downshift. It gives the client time to register and integrate what is happening. The signs we look for—the deeper breath, the softening, the settling—tend to arrive in the stillness, not in the movement.

Luchau also makes a point that constant stimulation causes the nervous system to habituate. It stops registering what isn't changing. A pause lets the next input actually land. He calls it the difference between tossing one pebble into a puddle and watching the ripples, versus throwing a handful all at once and getting nothing but noise.

A thoughtful read from the autumn issue of Massage & Bodywork!
