Marilyn knows her body and its pains. She requests specific muscles to be worked on, sometimes even reaching around to demonstrate the proper stroke. Once a week, reflexologist Reed Myles does intensive work on Marilyn's hands and feet, which have swollen as her kidneys slow down. Even though the therapists try to offer their services for free, Marilyn insists on paying. She feels it's important to support young people who have chosen the same career she had.
Food is another crucial issue.
Marilyn always has followed a strict diet of healthy, organic foods. Marilyn calls out detailed cooking instructions from her bedroom. Even though the stream of visitors is steady, Marilyn says it rarely drains her. More and more, as I learn to receive, my experience of exchange with people is more circular, rather than one-way. It's this amazing experience of taking love in and letting it out.
