What is Cupping Therapy & Why I Love It
In this video, I share what cupping therapy is, what it helps with, why I love doing it with clients and on myself as a massage therapist and what kinds of cups I like to use in my massage therapy practice. I'll be sharing more videos with specific cupping techniques for different parts of the body that you can do at home or with clients if you are a massage therapist. Cupping is amazing for anyone who works with their hands - artists, musicians, writers, gardeners, landscapers, bodyworkers, anyone who works on a computer or is on their phone texting a lot...cupping can bring relief from muscle and fascia tension, break up scar tissue, help mobility of joints and help create healthy flow of blood and lymph so we feel better and healthier and have less pain and stiffness.

Hi Emma! I enjoyed seeing your little books. I am a new subbie and I will be coming back to see how you make some of these stitches. I am currently working on a slow stitch, quilt as you go quilt. Thank you for sharing. 💜💜💜
You're very welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed seeing the books I've created. Your quilt project sounds lovely.
Absolutely beautiful, thank you Emma 👍🐨🦔🇦🇺❤️
Thank you so much!
Just love the simplicity of your ideas and work. No pressure to make something absolutely perfect which is perfect for me. So glad I found you!
Thank you so much, Linda! I'm glad what I've created resonates with you.
Very inspiring! ❤
How do you use your meditation books
Hi Judie, I like to have them sitting out in my home in different places. Sometimes I use them as meditation objects, where I'll pick one up and slowly flip through it, touching the elements, breathing slowly and deeply. I find that I love having their peaceful presence around me.
Thank you so very much for getting back to me about how you use them. That is a great idea. Also a wonderful reminder when I see one to stop and meditate during the day. Thank you so much for this idea
You're very welcome, Judie. I love what you said that they could be reminders to stop and meditate throughout the day, that's beautiful!
Awesome
Thank you, Joanne.
I found about you today and l am planning to watch all your videos. I will like to say thank you so much for admiring, owning and honoring my mexican heritage, l see the beautiful blouse of yours and the piece behind on the wall. Thank you and beautiful work you do.
Thank you so much for what you wrote, I love learning about Mexican culture and the deep, rich traditions of weaving, embroidery and so many other art forms that have so much heart and soul within them. I'm glad that it feels to you that I am honoring your heritage...I hope you enjoy exploring the videos I've shared here and if you have any questions, please feel free to reach out any time. You can comment here or email me through my website, www.deep-rooted-healing.com.
Beautiful and inspiring. Thank you!
You are very welcome, I'm glad you feel inspired by seeing the books I've created!
I love this idea. I’m glad that I can use something other than sage as I am allergic to it.
Thank you, I'm glad you love this idea and I hope you enjoy exploring it!
@@deeprootedhealing I've already been looking into it. :) I am determined to find something that works for me.
Do you stitch the pages before sewing them together in the book?
Hi Sheila, I like to bind the book first full of blank pages and then stitch inside, I find that having the container first to work in resonates with me.
@@deeprootedhealing thank you. I’m going to start one today and see how it goes. I do like the idea of having the container first…
Emma I at fascinated that you bury the books! Is there a meaning? I have to do one too! I love your books, thank you!
Hi Marci, thanks for asking, there is a deeper meaning to why I bury and then unearth the books. You can read about it here on my website if you'd like: deep-rooted-healing.com/art-projects/buried-books. It's a little long to write out here. ❤
@@deeprootedhealing thank you Emma, I started making my scroll yesterday ❣️
Hi Emma, I really love your books they are so inspirational, I’ve only just found your channel I really enjoyed this video. Thank you so much for sharing. ❤

Tea bag strings! Oh my! I never thought of that, but now I am saving my strings!
Oh wonderful, Vanessa, I'm glad you feel inspired to play with tea bag strings!
I love these books! The inspiration is exciting!
Thank you so much, Vanessa!
Thanks for explaining this method. I really wish I was close enough to benefit from your practice.
You're very welcome, Michelle, I wish we could work together too! I do plan to share practices here and in other ways online that I hope will be ways to share my practice with people who don't live close by.
I just found your channel too! I find this idea fascinating with your terms that there’s a story about each page. Not sure I understand it, but that’s ok! I’m willing to learn! Love all the “naturalness” to your books!
Thank you so much, Jean!
I also make small cloth books i call them prayer books. It was wonderful to see the love you have for these books because i also love mine too

Fascinating
I love these. I would love to touch them.
Thank you so much, Judy.
So many kinds of stitches!!! Is there a “Bible” for stitches?
I know there really are so many stitches out there! I don't know of one book with all of the stitches out there but there are definitely wonderful books available that show a variety. I like to experiment with different ones and collect the ones that resonate with me, in that way I've kind of made my own reference library of stitches I like to work with.
@@deeprootedhealing was curious if, or how many are “Historical”…
I love your books…
Thank you so much!
Extraordinarily beautiful....inspiring...calming...thanks a tons!!
I am so so glad I found you. I have watched a few of your videos on your medication books. OH MY GOSH, I LOVE them so much , I am now on my 2nd book using the fabrics from a very old grain sack. I am loving this. I also have a channel where I do a variety of different things. I am letting all my subscribers know about your channel because I believe your inspiration needs to be shared. Blessings to you and thank you for all that you do.
Hi Lizzi, I'm so glad that you are feeling inspired by the videos I've shared and that you have been enjoying creating the meditation books. And thank you so much for sharing my channel with your subscribers, that is so kind of you.
I found your channel from Pinterest, the poetic stitch by hand video, so I am going through your videos as meditation books seem great to learn for myself. I've subscribed to you and watching from the beginning. Thanks for sharing ❤
Wonderful, Annmarie, I hope you enjoy exploring making fabric meditation books.
Amazing ideas! Thanks for share :)
❤
Loved this. TYFS❤️🥰😍
First, I’d like to tell you that I found you on Sketchbook Revival 2023. I loved the Poetic Stitching lesson. Thank you so much for sharing that with us. Now I am following you on TH-cam and going back and watching many of your past videos. Love the scrolls and tiny stitched books. My question is, do you make the little books first and then stitch into them, or do you stitch the pages together and then add your poetic, intuitive, embellished stitching? Love, love, love this peaceful process! Thanks again. 🤗❤️🥰🙏🏻
Hi Maria, for my books I like to stitch 4-5 blank pages together and then explore stitching on the pages intuitively from there. Some of my students like to keep the pages loose and free and stitch on them first, then bind them at the end. There's no right or wrong way to do it, I'd just play and experiment and see what resonates with you.
I'm so glad you mentioned stitching paper. I have a squirrel out of a magazine I want to stitch for a fall table runner made of 5x5 squares. I wanted to just stitch over it, paint it with thread but I've not heard anyone mention this. Now that you have I'm going to do it. I love your books. Especially the little one with a wrap and the scarf. I practice stitches by making bookmarks. I have sooo many of them. That and on denim hearts.
I love that you are going to do for it and explore your idea, Rae. Every time I have done that with something I haven't seen someone's else before, it always leads me down an interesting path of self-discovery and creative empowerment. I wish the same for you.
Let's talk about that beautiful denim shirt you are wearing. I have a favorite that it getting thin and I thought of doing some borro stitching on it. Is that what you've done to your shirt? Just the yolk or the whole front? I love it and on my phone it looks like you stitched it.
I love doing this and am sharing your process with others!
Oh wonderful, Nancy, I'm so glad!
I love your books! They are so inspiring. Thank you.
Thank you so much, Diane.
I love this
Thank you, Sis.
Love this
Great video, very interesting 😊❤
Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Did you do the stitching on your shirt?
Yes I did, Darlene, thanks for asking. I love wearing it, it feels protective and soothing at the same time.
The larger blanket you made is beautiful. I see text in it also
Thank you so much, Darlene. That's so interesting that you also see text in it.
How fun. Can’t do the class at this point, but hope to catch enough from these to get the general idea.
Oh how fun!
I never tried in my books, but I used to love incenses and the beautiful and soft smell of lavender 💙💚❤️💗🧡💛🖤♥️💜
Oh yes, lavender smells so good! I think waving incense over a book could be so healing and lovely too.
This was exactly what I needed right now! It sounds so therapeutic to sew these little journals and bury them to rediscover after a month! I've never done slow stitching but have been interested in trying it. Thank you so much for sharing 🥰
I'm so glad you are feeling inspired by this, Stacy, I hope you have fun exploring slow stitching and burying little journals in the earth!
I’m so glad I found your videos! I’ve just started slow stitching with the idea of stitching all of my felted offcuts. Oh my goodness! I’ve gone down a rabbit hole of fun, creativity, inspiration, letting go, being present. You are such an inspiration! Not knowing this *was* the class, I jumped all over watching all of the videos. I’ve started my first little book after dyeing some linen and distressing it. We’ll see where it goes! Thank you!
You are very welcome, Tammy, I'm glad you are feeling inspired!
Oh and Tammy, there is a full class for making fabric meditation books on my website, the videos here are snippets of the complete class. If you are curious, you can find it here: www.creativeunearthing.com/classes.
Great Video, where do you purchase your mudcloth?
Thank you, Elle, I just added links to the two shops I love to buy mud cloth from in the description of this video.
Hi Emma! I love all of the variety you’ve shown!!! 💙
