What is Expert Massage?

August 13th, 2009

If you’ve ever suffered muscular pain and needed to be kneaded, chances are you may be one of the millions of people worldwide to have sought out an expert massage. Expert massageis the practice of soft tissue manipulation with the goal of achieving physical, and in some cases, psychological well being. It is both an art and a science that can be learned through hands-on and theoretical training. Some practitioners train for many years to become experts in specific disciplines of this healing technique, which has been used in numerous countries since ancient times.

How does expert massage work? Massage involves manipulating the body with pressure, tension, motion, or vibration. It can be performed manually, using the hands, fingers, elbows, forearms and feet. It can also involve the use of aids, as in hot stone massage therapy. Expert massage will often involve the client being treated while lying on a massage table or sitting in a specially-designed massage chair. Clients may also be treated while lying on a mat on the floor. The client may be partially unclothed, depending on the type of treatment.

What benefits can expert massage have? Expert massage can be used to target tissue and muscular pain, and can also be used to stimulate the lymphatic and gastrointestinal systems. It can be used to reduce stress, relieve chronic pain, increase flexibility and relax the body, mind and spirit.

Which sort of expert massage is right for me? An expert masseuse will generally carry out a detailed interview prior to therapy to ensure their healing process is most suited for your particular needs. There are more than 100 different recognized massage modalities, and all have different benefits.

What are some of the types of expert massage available? One of the most popular expert massage modalities is Swedish Massage. This is a very gentle and relaxing massage where therapists use massage lotion or oil to perform long, smooth strokes. Aromatherapy Masseuses employ a similar technique but use essential plant oil extracts to address specific needs. Hot Stone Massage is good for people who have muscle tension, and uses heated smooth stones which are placed on certain points of the body to relieve pain and balance energy centres. Deep tissue massage is excellent for chronically tight or painful muscles, and for recovery from injury. Shiatsu is a form of Japanese manipulation that focuses on acupuncture meridians.

I’m pregnant - is there an expert massage modality specific for my needs? Absolutely. Studies have shown that both mothers and unborn children can benefit from expert massage therapy. Also called prenatal massage, pregnancy massage is used to reduce stress, decrease swelling, reduce aches and pains, and relieve anxiety and depression. Pregnancy massage experts are trained in how to position the woman’s body and modify techniques.

How do I get more information about expert massage? In many countries expert massage therapists must be registered with their relevant health association. Information can be found online, or by contacting your local health provider. Travel agencies or tourism associations can provide you with information about expert massage in overseas countries.

The Power of Expectation!

August 12th, 2009

As with many little girls, I had a gift. It was a gift where I knew things hidden from others. Its that way many, this natural intuitive ability, and it was that way with a few boys as well, but not with everyone that I knew. Perhaps my family thought I was a bit strange. I sure felt that I was.

Many times during my life, when I believed in something so much, I would say to my brother that whatever it was, I was sure the idea would work out and the situation would occur a specific way. His told me: sure, believe what you will, but how can you be so sure. I just said, I just know.

This would happen occur so often when I was a young girl, and at the time, I could not follow what was going on and why things were the way they were. I thought, maybe Ive got a bit of a psychic gift and thats why I could do this. Well, perhaps I did, and maybe I didnt. Ive heard that the minds of children are very powerful.

After all, they are operating at those slower brainwaves that are associated with the hypnosis, and other powerful altered states of mind therapies. And, just maybe I really wanted those things to happen, and I would think about something and I knew I could make it happen, and it happened. I also knew when things were not going to happen.

I became so good at doing this and kept on wondering how I did it! It was not until years later that I realized that there is a Universal Law, called the Law of Attraction. Once I discovered this, I knew immediately that this was exactly how it worked, and I knew what I was doing to make it real for me. Today, I know that if I think a certain way that things will happen. Now, I know one key element that was missing before I was part of the equation. I discovered that whether the things I wanted would or would not occur, was simply related to my EXPECTATION.

If I didnt think something would happen, it wouldnt. My expectation was lacking and therefore it could not happen and did not happen. But, if I had great expectation ” it always happened. For many years I just was not really conscious of this, but there it was, and it was so simple to understand. When I expected results I got them!

August 11th, 2009

Improve your reading abilities for business or personal use with just a little practice. You can double, even triple your current rates of reading without hurting comprehension or retention.

There are different speed reading Methods for different kinds of reading material:

1. Fiction, especially the romance novels. Try speed reading a hot and passionate love scene. You cant! I dont speed read romance novels. I dont know anyone who does.

2. Non-Fiction. Speed reading is perfect in this dimension. Where there is something to learn that is not based on hot emotions speed reading is great. And it comes in various forms. Newspapers with narrow columns, magazines, with slightly wider columns, books, computer screens, and in the mail and email.

Slow readers struggle. They cant identify the techniques to success and they struggle due to slowing down to identify words that dont understand — they will see a particular word, slow down, think about the meaning, then restart the reading process. Perhaps they wont sound out all of the words theyve been reading, but they will spend more time on some phrases than others, perhaps because, they are just skimming across those small sections that are easy to understand.

Creating balance in comprehension and reading speed is what gives us our base reading speed. You will also need to develop a base-line reading speed for what you read the most. There are different techniques for different types of reading, with varying speeds, and comprehension rates.

Study speed reading, and practice doing the exercises, they will increase your reading speed drastically with practice.

Then, once you are comfortable practicing at that rate, move on to more advanced techniques that will increase your reading speed further.

Deliberate this:

1. You will be reading very fast (scan read) pre-reading for important factors 300%.

2. You should use a 50% over the normal rate when reading for information saturation.

3. Post-read for quick review will be fast reading; just a fast scan. 300-400% faster.

The Law Of Repulsion ” Don’t toss away your life

August 10th, 2009

The Universe has many laws that people can understand, but Im going to talk to you about the opposite of the Law of Attraction, the Secret that everyone has been talking about for 3 years now. There is an unspoken Law of Repulsion and since no one knew much about it, I figured Id discover it.

Now, Ive used it more than I want to think. I wished it didnt exist, but it does. And I have proof. I was born under a great star, according to the spacey astrologers, so why did I turn blue at birth and almost die. Got Rheumatic Fever, and ruined my health at 13 and get a life full of illnesses that would make my immune system struggle. While Im 63, still surviving, and still teaching people to watch out for that Law of Repulsion. So, lets talk about the most important things, that Ive pushed away

Try my car keys. Before my wife put a small nail in the wall to hang the car keys, the car keys were under the influence of the law of repulsion. Believe it or not, before that nail by the door, Id lose them, repel them, and maybe theyd show up under a bureau, in the cats soccer game, in the big box on the shelf that I keep change in, by the TV, in the grocery bag, but more likely I repel them so far that they wind up at the bottom of the washing machine in the local laundry. No matter what I did to try to keep track of (a lighter form of say attracting) my keys, they were unconsciously repelled and sometimes I even found them in the ashtray of my locked car, dont ask ” its that repulsion law.

So, I started to study the universal laws to see whether I would pass the Universal Bar Exam and see if Id reach the Bar and become a Guru of Universal Law.

I had already mastered the law of repulsion, car keys, job interviews (didnt get those jobs), premature expulsion of relationships (yikes, even before I scored an objective, and it still cost me a dinner!). Truly I was a master of the law of repulsion. I was blowing it and the law of repulsion had impacted my personal life. In business, I was in purchasing and sales, and back then I always told the clients or departments I worked with that deliveries would be on time. I knew the factories and they were ok, but, from knowing the industry and trucking business during blizzards, from years of experience ” I knew in my heart of hearts that things wouldnt always be on-time. A blizzard would come in and trucks got block in. I was beginning to attract things I feared, late deliveries at work. Yes, I attracted them. I attracted them with my thoughts. I was however a problem solver: I would fly to the factories, rent a big truck and drive south to where the roads were open, then east and back to the big apple ” I was a great problem solver, and driving through mid America was very relaxing, and I could listen to audios and empower my thoughts for success.

Thats when I thought, what could I do if I made a big sum of money. So, I did it, and then I took a two month vacation and thought, what could I do with this extra money I have “I invested it and a company and decided to run the company. I bought it, at age 26, without an accountant and lawyer, and it had problems. Big, big, problems for a little, little business. So, I lost the money, I watched it all go away I was repulsing what I wanted the most — success. I repelled a live-in girl friend, lots of lovers, and wound up working an hourly job in Miami, then Bridgeport, and then I begged a friend to give me a chance with a sales position. And I proved that my mind could create, for me, the opportunity for me to be the money magnet non-stop for years and years.

What turned out to be the golden ring in my lifes seeking — was knowledge, the one thing that God gave us the skill to learn here on Earth. And the greatest knowledge of all “what I think, feel, see, and know in my heart that I want ” I get. Your heart is the magnetic power, and the emotion is desire, and the overall category is love. So, in truth all we need is love.

Later on in the series, well talk about getting hit by lightening while I was studying spiritual psychology which opened up my mind, and gave me the saying: Sometimes a man has to be struck by lightning to become open minded.

Dr. Jay Polmar is an author of more than 45 books in 5 languages and through his experiences has wrote ThinkRight which will save you the trouble of interacting with the law of repulsion and lead you right on the path of attracting what you really, really want. So, tell me what you want, what you really, really want.

The Wisdom Of Giving Peace

August 4th, 2009

Peace? What with the problems every day we see in the world on the news, and with the struggle to stay ahead, and the anxiety and stress we have to deal with due to the circumstances of our lives, peace seems like a long lost wisdom for some other life.

Yet precisely for these reasons peace is such a valuable thing to feel in our lives. A little peace can go a long way to reducing struggle and worry in our lives. It can add tremendously to the quality of our lives. It can make a difference in our well being and reduce stress and anxiety.

Here are some powerful words of wisdom. Learn to give yourself peace. Give it to yourself rather than hope for it or wait for the stars to align and for all the circumstances of your life to be just right. Give yourself peace on purpose.

There are many ways to generate peace in your own life. This short article will focus on just one of them. It is a powerful practice that takes just three to ten minutes, depending on how much time you have. Can you give yourself three minutes to start generating peace into your experience?

This is the simple practice, often called “peacefully remaining.” For 3 minutes you sit quietly and simply “peacefully remain” with whatever shows up in your consciousness. You can do this at home, in your car before getting out to go to an appointment, you can do it at lunch at work. Whenever.

For these 3 minutes, you allow or remain peacefully with ANY thoughts you are having. You don’t try to change them or resist them. You allow whatever feelings and emotions you are having as well. You just notice them and allow them. No trying to make them different. Whatever arises in your awareness you aim to allow it to be there without struggling or resistance.

We are often at war with what is. We are often manipulating and trying to change our consciousness and our thoughts and feelings and circumstances. This is a simple but powerful process to just allow things to be the way they are for just a few minutes. This is part of what peace is ” allowance. You dont have to do anything to feel peace but stop resisting. Just breathe and allow things to be the way they are.

Peace is a powerful energy to allow into your awareness. This is one way of starting to access it. You can always pick up after the three minutes and start struggling and resisting everything again. But give yourself a few minutes of peace a day and see how that begins to change everything in your life. Giving peace can change the world. Start with yourself.

Whats Wrong With My Resume?

August 3rd, 2009

Why Does My CV Keep Getting Rejected? A question a lot of people ask but don’t get any answers to. Of course you could phone and ask why you didn’t get an interview but the chances of you getting any information from the company that is useful are slim to none.

A CV is definitely not the place to express your particular brand of individuality. Avoid bright colours, cheap paper, crazy fonts and the like. If you are printing out your CV, print it out onto excellent quality paper, with matching envelope. Black print on a white or beige background is the norm- deviate from it at your absolute peril

Did you know that you have only 20-30 seconds in which to make an impression with your CV. You will make an impression, it is up to you to make sure that the impression is favourable. A personal profile or career statement can do that job for you. Make it easy for the reader to want to know more about you. Omit this information and the reader has to work harder for the information that they expect to see immediately

Responsibilities are boring but achievements show what you can do for an organisation. Recruiters expect people to carry out their responsibilities anyway- achievements separate out the ordinary from the extra ordinary. Look through your career history and start to pull out the things that you did well- what did you achieve? How much did you add to the organisation and why? Show an employer this sort of information and they will want to talk with you

Your email address should be included but no stupid email addresses please. Showing just how colourful and exciting that you are by including words like bod, sexy, babe, hunk, etc. may all be very well for face book but in a job application- never! Get a sensible email address that you check regularly, you’ll be glad that you did

Your hobbies are there to show how engaging you are as an individual, to add a little spice to your CV. Avoid inclusion of any hobbies or interests that could prejudice your application. Political party membership, membership of activist organisations and the like should be avoided. Enough spice to be interesting, sober enough to tell your grandmother perhaps brackets the accepted limits

Failure to read a job description thoroughly will get you rejected. The reason is that your cover letter should sell your experience and achievements to make sure that you tick all the boxes. If you want to, adapt your CV to the job in hand, perhaps a better way is to get a great cover letter written that gets you through the door. It makes all the difference in the world

People rely on spell checking all the time nowadays. This makes people a little lazy. Spell checkers won’t get a persons name spelled correctly. This is such a common mistake that I thought that people would have learned by now. Spell the recruiters name wrong and watch a stream of rejection letters come through your letterbox- if you get anything back at all!

What Sort Of Things Motivate Me?

July 21st, 2009

Motivation is so personal as to hardly make sense. There is, however a science too understanding that different things motivate different people. Motivation means motive (a reason to ) and action (do something). Not really that complicated but might help understand what makes some of us think differently

Nobody is exactly the same as anybody else. There are, however four different things that you should learn about- they all motivate us by a greater or lesser extent. The four main motivators are: Participation, recognition, personal growth and achievement. Learning about them all helps us understand people a little more and will help us to get the best out of people

I am most motivated by personal growth. Just the action of writing this article motivates me to do better as I write each paragraph. People who are motivated by personal growth will look to take the lessons from things, make their next task better and can be motivated by challenging them in areas that you know that they are interested in.

Recognition can be seen as the universal motivator. If it wasn’t so important, why would we have things like the honours list, awards ceremonies, prize givings, trophies and the like. Everyone responds well to recognition although for some people it is the primary motivator. At it’s best, recognition can be something as simple as saying thank you, I love you, something spontaneous and unplanned seems to work the best. People see through planned recognitions as being contrived and manipulative

The simple act of getting things done, i.e. achieving things is a key motivator for a significant proportion of people. No need for a song and dance for these people, they quietly get on with things and before you know it, they have achieved their goals. Even then, the inner satisfaction is far more important than the fanfare of recognition. Recognize them anyway- recognition never hurts- it can only help if it is genuine and heart felt

Just being part of the team is enough for many people. We all understand that not everyone is a star who scores all of the points- we need team players and we need them a lot. Watch children when they get left out of something- you will see first hand the effects of de-motivation. Why then do we seem to forget the power of involvement when we get older. We all like to be part of a team, ignore this and watch your team suffer- even at home

Different things motivate different people. It really is true that there are different strokes for different folks. Whilst we should take care not to misuse this information, giving careful consideration to the needs of others will show through in better team results and much better relationships

Understand that there is great power in motivation. Please also understand that as Peter Parker says, with great power comes great responsibility. There are many articles on this interesting subject, some more of my personal thoughts can be found on our website, details available at the end of this article

Mind Over Body

July 6th, 2009

According to Karl Jung, “what you resist, persists”. If you’ve heard of the Law of Attraction, you probably already know this statement and understand its significance. The Law states that what we think about, we bring about. Whatever we spend time focusing on, particularly with great feeling, we can bring into reality. The problem is, if you spend more time worrying over the things you don’t want to happen, by the very nature of the Law, you are drawing these circumstances towards you.

If you suffer from excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, you might be interested to see how understanding the Law could help deal with your problem. You probably spend plenty of time getting stressed and worrying about your excessive sweating. And you’ve probably found, like the Law of Attraction says, that this only make the problem worse.

You become so conscious of your sweating that it is all you can think about, and you’re thinking about it with such intensity that, according to the Law of Attraction, its inevitable that you will sweat more.

Think about it, even when you’re not sweating, if you are going to work in an office all day, or are on your way out for a date, you probably have in your mind the worry that you will start sweating even though it hasn’t actually happened yet.

So what does this worrying about sweating do? It keeps the problem in your mind and attaches a really strong emotion to it so in the end, you start to sweat.

It would probably take a while to explain the Law of Attraction in more detail, but if you can understand that worrying about a problem only makes that problem more likely, you can begin using the Law to stop your hyperhidrosis. If you think positive thoughts about your problem, the Law will work to make them a reality too.

You might want to be dry, sweat-free and confident all day, so you should really apply some thought to this. You could visualise being sat in your chair at work, leaning back and putting your arms behind your head, knowing your shirt or blouse isn’t stained with sweat. Get a picture in your mind of being on a night out with friends where you can really enjoy yourself because your underarms are fresh and dry.

Affirmations are a big part of using the Law of Attraction for your benefit. You say, out loud or in your head, what you want to happen, but say it in the present tense like it is already happening, as if you are already receiving it. The Law states that this will then become your reality.

Your affirmations should always be positive and in the present tense, you might try saying this before you go to work in the morning. “My underarms are fresh and dry and I am comfortable and confident all day”.

If this is the first time you are hearing about the Law of Attraction it might be a bit difficult to believe that these principles will have any affect, but if you have faith in what you are saying and try it repeatedly, you should see an improvement. Even if you are a little bit sceptical, what have you got to lose?

If you are keen to understand a bit more about how this approach and the Law of Attraction works you might want to check out a book by Rhonda Byrne called The Secret. If you want a more practical approach to curing your excessive sweating problem naturally and permanently further information is available on my website.
