Today I presented MELT for the very first time internationally. The Aerobic & Fitness Association sought me down to present for them at their convention here in Barcelona earlier this year. My worry was if MELT would translate to other countries.

As with all of my presentations, I always ask this questions, "How many of you today have a body pain or ache?" at the start of my session. Although I have yet to see one obese person anywhere in this beautiful country, the common thread between this culture and the US is PAIN. As it is when I present in the states, the majority of the room raises their hand to this question. So what I have learned is, regardless of race, culture or country, pain in all humans is the one thing we have in common. It's common, it's constant, and most of us have it.

I've done a lecture, "The 7 Secrets to Longevity" and one workshop so far "GET MELTed!"

Same results, same WOW factor, the only difference is that it took a bit more time as I had to slow down for my translator Laura to translate my words to Catalan. I had to speak in small segments (no easy feat for a NYer like me who tends to speak quickly and in long, run on sentences!) But it was actually a great learning curve for me as it made me slow way down, pause (something I never do), and only convey the real "nuts" and important aspects of what I was trying to say. (Funny thing was, even my humor came across which was another worry - I tend to be a bit of a clown to get people out of their "thinking" self and in their body. Laughing is a good thing for the body.) But they did laugh and they experienced the changes I hoped for with the foot treatment and the full body techniques.

Though we only did the MELT Core Treatment (3-D breath, Neck Decompress, and Low Back Decompress) all 3 technique yield specific changes and they all got great responses.

I am happy that I only have one more session tonight and then 3 tomorrow.

So tonight is "The Longevity of Structure and Function" another workshop. More specific, which I hope is a good thing.

My goal is that people leave know how to use these applicable techniques in their private practice. Time will tell if MELT will spread through Spain.

More to come!!!
