Ep. 86 – Self-Care, Massage & the Power of Presence with David Lobenstine
In this episode of Resilience Radio, host Irvin Eisenberg speaks with David Lobenstine, a massage therapist, educator, and advocate for sustainable self-care. Together, they explore the importance of self-care for both massage therapists and the general public, balancing goal-setting with being present, and how mindfulness and body awareness influence well-being. David shares insights on Tai Chi, the transient nature of pain, and how to inhabit our bodies with ease. Key Takeaways: ✅ Self-care is essential for both healers and clients alike. ✅ Being present matters – goals are important, but they shouldn’t overshadow the moment. ✅ Pain and discomfort are transient – they don’t have to define us. ✅ Physical complaints often stem from a mindset focused on future problems rather than the present. ✅ The culture of constant productivity can be detrimental to our health. ✅ Mindfulness practices like Tai Chi can help improve body awareness and resilience. ✅ Acknowledging discomfort is the first step toward healing. Memorable Quotes: 🎙️ "I am a firm believer in having goals." 🎙️ "We all find ways to sort the discomfort." 🎙️ "Everything changes, right?" 📺 Watch the video version on YouTube: Resilience Radio 🎧 Listen on Libsyn & Your Favorite Podcast Platforms Chapters: ⏳ 00:00 – Introduction to David Lobenstine ⏳ 02:00 – Journey into Massage Therapy ⏳ 03:22 – The Importance of Self-Care for Therapists ⏳ 05:30 – The Paradox of Goals and Present Living ⏳ 09:04 – Healthy Goals and Living in the Moment ⏳ 14:54 – Inhabiting Our Bodies with Ease ⏳ 17:49 – New Chapter 🎵 Music Credits: Aaron – Piano Joanne Garton – Fiddle Andrew Van Norstrand – Guitar & Producer Hollis Easter – Flute Sound Engineer: Dana Billings 🎶 Find their music on Bandcamp!
