			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today I heard a discussion between two celebrities regarding full body massages. The discussion started with the benefits of their &#8220;treating&#8221; themselves to relaxation. The conversation then went into questions that arise when you have a full body massage, i.e do you get totally naked? Do you allow your body to relax and have bowel/ digestion sounds? Do you tighten up to keep from &#8220;passing wind&#8221;? Does a man keep from getting aroused with a female massage therapist? They were at first laughing and their own sense of ridiculousness and yet they ended up talking themselves out of the benefit of the massage. I felt it brought up a good time to discuss why many people don&#8217;t benefit from massage therapy. First it is a treatment, not a &#8220;treat&#8221;. It is a therapy to relax and release harmful tension and trauma stored in our body&#8217;s muscles, ligaments and connective tissues. With the attitude of a &#8220;treat&#8221; the issue of deserving it and practicality come into play in our value system.  2nd getting naked or &#8220;stripping down&#8221; to our birth suits brings up a great sense of vulnerability.  3rd human touch whether between family, loved ones, friends and especially strangers is an issue of control. Some people did not grow up with physical affection as normal behavior. You&#8217;ve seen events where people are &#8220;touchy feely&#8221; and others are barely comfortable with a handshake.</p>
<p>You will see that even one of the three reasons listed keep the benefits of massage therapy to a minimum.The one thing these blocks have is that they  all spring from being &#8220;in your head&#8221;. Our mind and judgments diminish our receptivity and therefore we accept, willingly, to be in pain, blame other or &#8220;government &amp; corporations&#8221; for lives of misery. To be blunt, you tense up (your buttocks which are a MUSCLE) so you won&#8217;t &#8220;fart&#8221; because you&#8217;ll be embarrassed.   You may say &#8220;rich&#8221; people can have &#8220;treats&#8221; or you are a &#8220;working stiff&#8221; so you&#8217;ll live with &#8220;it&#8221;. Those are all ego mind created falsehoods that diminish your self worth.  <span id="more-143"></span></p>
<p>Many people are finally exposed to the benefits massage therapy after car accidents or other physical events where they may receive a prescription from their physician. Then people do not continue after the prescription is over because the belief of massage benefits being &#8220;temporary&#8221; kick in. Meanwhile your body is living and experiencing tension and trauma in everyday life.</p>
<p>Many massage therapist give you stretches to work out specific muscles or areas that in distress. You take these home and have to do them a day at a time to benefit. You have to integrate these changes into your daily life to really find balance and ease of motion. We become responsible for taking in the new information and utilizing it for our benefit. That like all therapies is the point of treatments. You receive new information and/or discover information that seemed hidden from your awareness and then comes into &#8220;light&#8221; for you to acknowledge and make adjustments.</p>
<p>What am I saying to you? I say and I challenge you to go find a licensed or student massage therapist. Go to a professional massage therapist or to a school of massage (they offer discounted treatments in their clinics) and have the experience. Take courage to really open your body and your mind to a beneficial experience. I say if you do and have a &#8220;bad&#8221; experience, make another appointment with someone else. Keep trying massage therapy until you discover all the types of massage or reflexology treatments. Take courage and open yourself to human touch. Go with the intention of receiving a healthful beneficial treatment and be persistent. Leave your reasons and rationale of your cultural beliefs and let your body receive a treatment to release the accumulated tension and trauma.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s what I am saying, take courage and find the benefit of massage therapy today!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Regis Philbin today discussed a personal experience and benefit of receiving a Reflexology treatment,]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today was a synchronistic day for me. I don&#8217;t usually have the opportunity to watch &#8220;Live with Regis &amp; Kelly on the ABC network.</p>
<p>I had heard on the news in recent years and months that Regis had had health problems and was recuperating and then he had returned to the show. Today the show started with the usual back and forth chatter of Regis and Kelly Ripa. He brought a particular health situation to note that previously had been helped with a Reflexology treatment. He even commented that Reflexology sessions are called treatments. I thought that was <strong><em>Fantastic!</em></strong> He went on to say that the prior experience was very helpful so that now in his current health situation he, though not immediately, thought to call the Reflexologist and receive a treatment.</p>
<p>This is a national show with a great following. Hurray for Reflexology everywhere! We are entering more and more into daily conversation as a treatment for health and it&#8217;s wonderful benefits by a person who is respected and followed by many &#8220;establishment&#8221; individuals. I hope that this positive exposure benefits the practitioners and the recipients of treatments.</p>
<p>Come on everybody, call <strong><em>NOW</em></strong> and make your appointments with your favorite Reflexologists across the nation! Hurray for all healing modalities and Alternative health during wellness and illness.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[An esteem filled quote from an Italian philosopher]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em> It&#8217;s all really very simple. You don&#8217;t have to choose between being kind to yourself and others. It&#8217;s one and the same.</em></p>
<p><em>Piero Ferrucci &#8211; Italian Philosopher and Psychotherapist</em></p>
<p>What act of kindness did you complete today for yourself? Did you smile as you were out in the world? Did you first smile at yourself. Kindness, Love. begins at home with yourself. Truth is you are receiving kindness all the time. Are you aware of it. So today and tomorrow and every moment after, be kind to yourself and then spread it around.</p>
<p>Your BODY WILL REFLECT THAT FACT!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I really do do my best to stay abreast of current news and at the same time look behind the scenes to what is really going on. This is my opinion and observation:</p>
<p>Are we being a sick minded culture? Yes, the collective belief is that everybody&#8217;s body will turn against them and need to be &#8220;fixed&#8221;. This involves doctors visits, test and a lot of drugs. Have you taken the time to even contemplate that the are now and always have been people that never get physically sick until they die? Do they have a secret that the rest don&#8217;t? Are they special? Are they luckier?</p>
<p>Ponder this possible fact, they live life. That&#8217;s it they live. They belief and express the belief that life is to be lived and then at some point they take a &#8220;last&#8221; breath. They believe this so then they experience it. Why are the rest of the world doing this too?</p>
<p>Contemplate and we&#8217;ll visit the &#8220;crisis&#8221; again. For now take this info and see what possibilities occur to you to experience in our life&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Life really is impersonal. There are causes and then from each cause, an effect. Our actions are like ripples after a pebble in thrown into a pond, lake or river. You at first see the ripples and then it keeps going away from you, you don&#8217;t see where the ripple ends.  Our egos though do not like that. They want us to know that the ripple &#8220;landed&#8221;. Where did it land? Did it count? Was it happy or was it part of a flood? Ego gets us way too involved in matters that are no longer our concern.</p>
<p>This sequence of ego importance creates emotional scarring, the root of all dis-ease and physical effects. Each experience or &#8220;result&#8221; of our actions is not taken for what its true purpose is, gaining and remembering wisdom. These scenes that we experience are not meant to be diminished in value. They are valuable, the point is from perspective. Are we victims or victors of our own lives? Was there a jewel we received from our experiences?</p>
<p>An integrated mind-spirit-body health perspective shows emotional scars we carry are the root of our body&#8217;s being out of perfection. We hold these scars in and they actually create a change in the shape and activity of our cells. The organs and systems start to compensate for the imbalance and now we have an effect building on another effect and it, if not paid attention, spins out of control.<span id="more-105"></span><!--more--></p>
<p>What is the solution? The beginning to create a change is awareness. Don&#8217;t see your body as separate from you that causes you discomfort. That&#8217;s what commercials for medications focus on. Start by honoring your body and talk to you. It&#8217;s trying to talk to you and tell you what it needs. Do you listen? Honor your body by playing an imagination game. Say &#8220;OK body, I guess we are in a partnership&#8230; what&#8217;s this ache about? What is this indigestion about? You are smart, guide me to what is going on?&#8221; Since it is an imagination game, trust the answer you get and even say back &#8220;I don&#8217;t understand what you said, could you be clearer, I&#8217;m a beginner at this&#8221; This opens a door that may still tell you to take a medication, or see a medical physician. You are not trying to avoid anything; you are reconnecting with your self. Now you proceed back to on a path to excellent, whether you had it before or not.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><strong>There is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer, no disease that enough love will not heal, no door that enough love will not bridge, no wall that enough love will not throw down, no sin that enough love will not redeem&#8230;</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>It makes no difference how deeply seated may be the trouble, how hopeless the outlook, how muddled the tangle, how great the mistake. A sufficient realization of love will dissolve it all.</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>If only you could love enough, you could be the happiest and most powerful being in the world&#8230;&#8221;</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>Emmet Fox, 1886-1951</strong></em></p>
<p>Love effects health. Love, the receiving and giving,  and the concepts <strong>we hold</strong> about love are reflected in and on our bodies.  Do you realize that?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>An act of love that fails is just as much a part of the divine life as an act of love that succeeds, for love is measured by its own fullness, not by its reception.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>Harold Loukes, British Academic and Quaker educator</em></p>
<p>Love is a profound desire by human beings and it gives meaning to our existence. Contemplate this quote for the fears we hold of Love.<br />
Love is an energy that drives our bodies. It literally creates the circulation and lack of circulation depending upon our <em><strong>beliefs</strong></em> of how much Love we have received or not received in our lives.</p>
<p>What amount of Love do you <em><strong>believe</strong></em> is flowing in and through your body? That belief <strong><em>is</em></strong> creating your health.</p>
<p><em><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have just notified prior clients of a special offer for them on Wednesday September 9, 2009 or 9/9/09 an auspicious day. Yes this is a day to focus on oneself and really tune in to the changes that are occurring before our eyes AND behind the scenes.</p>
<p>See it&#8217;s time to really wake up to what decisions and actions we say and do each and every day. Lately I&#8217;ve heard the phrase &#8220;I&#8217;m manifesting&#8230;&#8221;. This is really interesting that our language is reflecting this perspective. The question is are <strong>You really aware</strong> of what and who you are manifesting into your life????</p>
<p>9/9/09 is a date to consciously step into your pwersonal power through awareness. Call me to set up an appointment for that day. We can meet via Skype or telephone and get you into <strong>empowerment mode</strong>. You mention this blog post and <em><strong>You get the deal my prior clients are getting that day. </strong></em>You are making choices and they are accumulating. I hope you&#8217;ve noticed that results are happening faster and faster, so what do you want <strong><em>fast</em></strong>?</p>
<p>Health has been in the news alot lately, mostly about choices being given or taken away. Guess what, whatever side you listen to from the political area is still not telling you <strong>all</strong> the info there is.<span id="more-88"></span>Healthcare, jobs, relationships, crime and violence all come from choices.
