Make the Most of Your Massage

Many people view a massage as something that just feels good. However, the main purpose of the massage is a therapeutic treatment of the body. The build up of stress, toxins and body stiffness can cause discomfort. Massage therapy seeks to release the tension in the body, while flushing toxins and helping the mind to relax. There are many benefits of receiving massage therapy, but like any treatment there are ways to better maximize its effectiveness.

A massage is meant to be a holistic body treatment. These types of treatments have been given for centuries. Many of these traditional remedies have been incorporated into different massage techniques. There are many schools of thought on massage therapy. However, there are many common elements which can be used to help you get the most out of your treatment.

Generally, you want to avoid eating immediately before receiving a massage. Give yourself at least 30 minutes before your massage treatment to sufficiently digest your food. If you eat before a massage, then your digestive tract is occupied with processing the food. This requires more blood to be put through the digestive area. This will decrease the quality of the massage received.

Do you have any spots you do not want to get massage? It is important to make sure that these areas are not harmed in any way. Some spots may be tender or certain conditions could be harmed with massage treatments. If you have any questions, check with your medical professional as to their advice.

The mind needs to relax to release tension being held in the body. One simple way to do this is to play music areas you should choose music that has no singing and is soft and rhythmical. This helps to keep your mind from thinking about stressful things. Let your mind drift so that it can release the tension it is holding over the body. If your mind will relax, then your body will follow.

When pressure is eight applied during the massage this can cause disc comfort. Some people are more sensitive to this type of action. They will tend to resist the massage and tense their muscles. This can cause you to increase your breathing rate as you again to fight the massage. Check your breathing rate and make sure it stays consistent during the massage.

Minimize the distractions during your massage therapy make sure that your cell phone is off and other communication sources are blocked out. It is important to relax from start to finish getting the most benefit. Your mind needs to let go of the tension and let the body be penetrated by the massage.

Turn off the lights and start a couple of candles. Candles provide for soft and soothing light for the eyes. They are a perfect complement to creating a relaxing environment. You can also dim the lights to a low-level for the same type of effect.

Another common practice is to use a fragrance. This is commonly referred to as aromatherapy. Having a subtle fragrance in the room helps to enlighten the senses and provides for a more soothing state of mind.

After you receive a massage, you should drink a glass of water. Many massage techniques help to flush the toxins out of the stiff muscle and soft tissue areas. The toxins hold up under times of stress and need to be released. These are much more effectively release from the body when water is consumed within 15 minutes of the massage.

These are just a few tips to help you get the most out of a massage. It is important that the environment and your mental state are congruent with relaxing massage therapy. If you are too distracted, then your body and muscles will not relax. Also, to get the real benefits of massage it must be received on a frequent basis. Just like diet and exercise, it must be done more than time.

Working as a Massage Therapist for 12 years, and seeing over 15 000 clients, has afforded me insights and wisdom into why our bodies hold tension, how this affects our posture, and what prevents us from having balanced, fluid, pain free movements.

There are a multitude of factors that lead to pain and discomfort. One of the biggest and most managed causes is stress. It affects all of us. We deal with it, adapt to it, and try to avoid it! Stress in all its forms finds its way into our lives from countless sources. I start with stress, because of its compounding affect on everything else. All things contributing to postural stain are only made worse by stress.

The greatest factor affecting peoples predominant posture, which impacts how we move, feel, and cope with everything, is completely tied to habitual postures. Sounds vague? Let me narrow it down to the three habitual patterns which affect your postural reality the most.

Everything you do each day is done sitting, standing, or sleeping!

How you uniquely do all three of these things will be the greatest determinants of your postural reality. They will be more impactful than the bruises, falls and accidents throughout life, or even the genetic make up you inherited. Nothing will have greater impact than the three things you spend the most time doing. I can think of no time in the day when you’re not in one of these three postures! How do you sit? How do you lay on your bed for hours every night? How do you stand throughout the day?

So many of my clients have office occupations that have them holding seated positions for 4-8 hours per day! That may not seem so dramatic until you do some basic projections. This may equate to 20-40 hours a week. That’s 80-160 hour a month, or close to 2000 hours a year…just at work! Then add in the hours in the car, on the couch, at the dinner table, coffee shops, restaurants, and don’t forget the throne! Certainly we could double the hours seated at work, and realize the staggering amount of time spent in this posture changing position!

The Psoas and Rectus Femoris muscles are our primary hip flexors. They are held in a significantly shortened position while we sit for long periods. The major one is the Psoas, which attaches on the anterolateral aspect of our lumbar spine. It follows downward to attach to our thigh bone, the femur. Holding a seated posture for many hours a day trains this muscle to be a shorter muscle. The problems of low back pain and discomfort begin when we try to stand after long periods of sitting. The Psoas’ attempts to maintain the shortened length cause it to pull the lumbar spine forward toward the femur. The low back tends to tighten or even spasm to prevent this forward pull. Over long periods of time the result is chronic back pain.

As well, having your knees bent at a 90 angle for thousands of hours a year tends to lead to brutally tight hamstrings! These muscles attach not only to the knees, but also to your hips, on the bones you sit on. Finally, lets not forget the effect sitting has on your neck and shoulders.

People seek massage therapy to address the muscular imbalances developed from sitting daily at their computer. Having their hands in front of them on a keyboard, often with one hand outstretched onto a mouse, while their head progressively lurches forward toward the monitor, leads to structural changes, which for a low impact occupation, have quite the big impact on how we feel.

The second most habitual posture we have and maintain is our standing posture. We don’t think too much of it but each of us, has a stance that is uniquely our own. When we bring conscious awareness to our body while standing, we can begin to see and feel how certain muscles are contributing to one our most dominantly held postures.

Bring your attention to your feet. How do the look? How are they pointing? Do they seem to be heading in the same direction? Don’t be surprised to find one heading north and the other east! Interestingly, you may notice this as a reoccurring theme every time you quickly glance down and check in with yourself. Often one foot will consistently be in front of the other. You may notice that you shift your weight consistently to one side. These little things reveal big things about your muscles, and how they are maintaining your limbs in consistent postures, or habitual patterns. Massage therapists’ help you to reveal these patterns and focus your treatment on restoring balance in you muscular system to reduce restrictions in your movements and strain to muscles and joints that are being held in weak and vulnerable positions.

Our musculature is a perfect design. Every muscle works in concert with it’s opposite, to grant us fluid, painless, dynamic movement and function. While one muscle is extending, its opposite is flexing. Our bodies are functioning optimally when our muscles are balanced in strength, length, and flexibility.

Massage practitioners help expose postural distortions and the habitual patterns contributing to them. By introducing opposition to the habitual posture, you begin to discover that balance lies between the habit and it’s complete opposite. Your restless sleep indicates its contribution to postural strain too.

Ever try sleeping on your partners side of the bed? Oh, they wouldn’t let you? Hmm, isn’t that interesting? Likely though, you probably never thought to try and would likely have been non-receptive to the idea! Why? Because we are habitual creatures. We do habitual things and we move in habitual ways. We sleep in habitual patterns. Tummy sleepers have the unfortunate habit of rotating their cervical (neck) region to one side (usually one more than the other) and laterally (side) bending it to lie on the pillow.

So you may think side sleeping is better. Maybe. If you tend to be predominately on one side, the shoulder against the mattress is definitely being held differently than the other. What position are your legs in? Is one relatively straight, while the other is bent at the hip and knee? Did I mention 6-8 hours is a typical sleep? How will your long held, habitual sleeping position, affect your proper anatomical standing position? Our body adopts its own sense, of normal standing posture, under great influence of what the body wants to do. Invariably, the body wants to move into the position it spends the most time in. Your every instinct, understanding, and programmed sense of what normal standing is, is challenged by the postures that we hold for longer periods than any other. The result is postural strain.

Your Massage Therapist will focus intently on those muscles that are strongly pulling you out of balance. Once these muscle have tension released, your body will begin to experience the fluidity of your new range of motion. You will be taught to move daily into ranges and stretches which oppose your habitual patterns, and encourage an ongoing state of balance. With a little assistance form your Massage Therapist, you will begin to discover how your habitual postures affect all of your postures. Through massage therapy you will encounter new ways to help bring conscious awareness and balance to your body.

Natural Cancer Remedies

We all know that cancer is a disease that strikes fear in the hearts of most people when they learn that they or someone else has received this diagnosis. That is because it can strike anyone at any time. Cancer is indiscriminate. It also strikes to varying degrees. Someone can discover they have cancer and die a month later. Others experience remissions for no apparent reason. There are no natural cures or treatments that have been proven beyond a shadow to rid a person of cancer, but there are treatments that can be used to help treat symptoms and perhaps provide a cure.

Research has speculated that cancer develops for a variety of reasons. Among them are the well-known effects of a long standing cigarette habit and the harmful effects of the sun and UV rays on our skin that can lead to skin cancer. Hereditary and environmental factors seem to play a role as well. But, we all know someone who has none of these factors in their history and still has developed cancer. The disease seems not to care about our theories.

The food we eat also seems to play a role in whether or not we develop cancer. None of this has been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt but there is strong evidence that we should consider. Red meat containing hormones and steroids is one thing that research has suggested we avoid. An abundance of these harmful substances in our bodies is likely to make us more prone to developing cancer. Processed foods that contain preservatives can cause harmful toxins to build up in our bodies, also increasing our risk. The bottom line is that we should avoid eating red meat on a regular basis and also avoid processed foods as much as possible to treat and prevent cancer. Processed foods include such things as canned meats and frozen dinners, sodas and artificial drinks, cookies and ships and cereal.

Maintaining a healthy pH level in the body is also thought to influence a person’s susceptibility to cancer and their ability to fight it once they have it. Studies suggest that a pH level of 7.0 or higher should be maintained and even that cancer cannot survive in the body when the pH is 7.0 or higher. Avoiding foods that cause a rise in pH can help the body word off illness and disease. The body’s pH level is influenced by such things as toxins, preservatives and sugars. Sugar increases the acidity in the body and although acid levels are raised by other foods, sugar is the one most often causing an imbalance to occur.

Another possible natural treatment for cancer is daily exercise. The body needs to remain strong, healthy, and in shape to keep operating properly. If you are too tired, then just try to do as much as you can, but just make sure to try to add some sort of daily physical activity to your schedule for good health and mild energy. Drinking plenty purified water should also be on the list of things to consume for possible cancer treatment. Keeping your body clean and free of impurities should be the number one thing on your list. It helps to remain conscious of the way that we eat and live, because a lot of that really does contribute to the development of the most deadly diseases, with cancer being one of the worst.

Get Rid Of Acne – Talking about the face, what you want to do is to regulate the oil that is produced. You want moist skin, but not a shiny and oily face. Remember that in excess, sebum or oil plus dust and dirt causes the regular zits. When washing the face, DO pre-pamper it with warm water to open up the pores. After which, use over the counter products that contain;

a.) Benzoyl Peroxide and Triclosan for oily or acne-prone skin b.) Salicylic Acid

These are anti-bacterial; they exfoliate the surface, rejuvenate the skin and prevent further breakouts. With the pointer and middle finger, gently rub the cleanser on the face in a circular motion. Afterwards, wash it away with cold water so that the pore closes in the process.

Get Rid Of Moles – Moles are brown or black spots that are either pigments or outgrowth on the skin, caused by clusters of melanocytes on a single space.

Know How To Heal Yourself Everyday

Energy healing is the basic purpose of Reiki. Reiki uses the idea of the life force energy flowing in our bodies. It aims to clear and clean the channels of chakras and harness our inherent power. For Reiki, healing the self also helps in healing the world. Ultimately it would redound to healing the whole cosmos.

What is Reiki? Reiki is an ancient Japanese method of spiritual healing that entails the use of the “universal life energy” in healing oneself. It believes that the life force energy in the body is the source of the power we need to conduct our daily lives. Basically, it gives life to cells and organs that support the daily essential functioning of the physical body. In its derivative sense, Reiki means “spiritually guided life force”.

How is spiritual healing possible? Reiki healing may be performed by any Reiki master or practitioner.

The positive energy comes flowing through the channel of healing, i.e., the Reiki master. Now, this life force energy is said to have a mind of its own. This means that it goes to the part of the body where healing is exactly needed.

The constant flow of positive energy is essential to the normal functioning of beings. The disruption in the natural and healthy flow of chakras happens when we begin to harbor negative thoughts and emotions. The negative thoughts and emotions attach themselves to the channels of our energy centers or what we call chakras. This creates blockages and weakens the supply of our life force energy.

And so, what energy healing does is to clear and clean these pathways of life energy. The channels where the negative energy attached itself will be charged with positive energy in order to break down the blockages. This happens when the Reiki master initiates a positive flow of energy while increasing the vibratory level in these channels.

What are the uses of energy healing? Reiki healing keeps you constantly away from the propensity to be ill. It focuses not only on physical wellness but also on the spiritual growth. It promotes a natural way to achieving the total wellbeing of a person.

Where Did Western Medicine Fail?

Western medicine has developed significantly through the years that now it is impossible to contest or even question its basic premises. We have come a long way that it is theoretically possible to clone a person, create a super being, and even make a real dinosaur live through genetic technology.

When in the past, humanity has been plagued by virus and bacteria such as the Black Death, the yellow fever, and other epidemics that killed thousands, now we can say that we are in full control of even the smallest strain of virus and bacteria. Lifespan has significantly increased and health care has really improved so that we have actually been dependent on the solutions that modern medicine provides. In fact, western medicine has been so proud even to the point of ridiculing various types of alternative medicine such as massage, meditation, energy healing and many others.

The truth of the matter is that modern medicine is highly one sided on the physical aspect alone. Yes we have discovered cures to bacteria, but an evil society that knows the ins and outs of viruses can use this as a form of biological warfare. This is a social aspect of disease which modern medicine has no cure. Yes we have so many antibiotics, but it also created a lot of strains resistant to antibiotics that the world has ended up having more types of diseases than before. How about stress? This topic is written all over literature but modern medicine only has cures for the symptoms of stress and not the stress itself. The fact is, modern medicine has gone a long way but left the most important passengers in the rain-spirituality, psychological wellbeing, emotional health, mental peace. These important passengers eventually take their effects on the body and result in disease. This is where alternative medicine comes in.

In fact, the sickness of modern man is so prevalent and so obvious that modern medicine has yet to put a name to-spiritual emptiness, loneliness, lack of gusto, depression, low morale, stress. These are so prevalent in modern societies so that modern medicine relegates these to the realm of psychology. For example, in the East, there is the concept of the seven energy centers of man which are called chakras. Modern medicine has no name for this and so therefore has no tool to understanding these most important concepts. Profound meditation is sometimes reclassified by modern medicine as simply relaxation and stress management when there is infinitely more to it than what meets the eye. The concept of energy healing which is so prevalent in the East has no western counterpart. For example, the concept of Chi which is central to the age-old practice of acupuncture escapes western investigations. In China, they can operate a major surgery using only acupuncture needles to ease the pain. Yet Western Medicine has neither word nor definition for this type of phenomenon.

Western medicine has not even factored the role of emotion in disease. In fact, everybody knows that emotion can be felt physically such as happiness, love, depression and others. Yet modern medicine cannot and will not analyze that. It is limited only to analyzing the physical aspects.

In Japan, a Reiki master can intuitively assess all the aspects of disease present in the person. He then applies energy coming from a mystically source to clean the body of disease and bring back health and wellbeing. Much to modern medicine’s surprise, some diseases considered as hopeless have been miraculously healed.
