Healing 101
 Like birds flying in a V, when we feel the presence of others moving along side of us, there is little we cannot accomplish. As they swoop, drift, and glide, inscribing magnificent patterns across the sky, birds are serene displays of grace and beauty. Long a source of inspiration, birds can be messengers from the spirit realm, or a symbol of the human soul, as they cast off their earthly mooring and soar heavenward. An upturned wing, a graceful flutter, all so effortless and free… More magnificent still is the inspiring sight of birds migrating, progressing steadily across the horizon in a solid V formation that is a singular pattern too unique to be mere chance. Pushing steadily forward, this aerodynamic V reduces air resistance for the whole flock. With wings moving in harmony, the feathered group continues its course across the sky, covering more ground together in community than as individuals. When the bird at the front gets tired, she will move to the rear of the formation where the wind drag is lowest, and a more rested bird can take her place. By learning from the example of our winged guides, all of us can feel empowered to take on daring challenges as we chart adventurous courses. Feel the strength of others moving alongside you, as their presence lends power to your wings during this journey across the sky of life. When buffeted by unexpected gusts, we can choose to find refuge in the loving shelter of friends and family. We may even marvel as an otherwise difficult day passes by like a swift wind, as a kindred spirit charts a way for us through the clouds and rain ahead. If your wings begin to ache on your journey, look around for somebody else to fly at the front for a while. All of us move faster when we move together. Let your ego drop earthwards as we all soar ever higher. -by Madisyn Taylor ~Reprinted with permission from DailyOM Read More @ Source How Is Your Sleep? circadian rhythms sleep cycles adrenal fatigue tired weightloss Video Rating: 4 / 5  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

What is a far infrared blanket you may ask? This is something similar to a sleeping bag, but, it's not meant for sleeping for extended periods of time. It looks a bit spacey, like something straight out of a sci fi movie. The primary use of this is to have your own far infrared thermal treatment system within the comfort of your home. The official name is a Far Infrared Cocoon System. When you're inside, it looks like you're a giant toothpaste tube, because your head is the only thing sticking out. What are far infrared rays? Well, these are basically the invisible rays from the sun, which you feel as warmth. Apparently, solar rays are composed of 80% far infrared rays. Also, they are the safest and most beneficial, as the far infrared rays energize cells, inner tissue, and all the organs beneath the skin. It's not to be mistaken with the Near infrared rays, which is the heat you feel when you place your hand near a kettle, an open flame or a hot surface. Far infrared rays can be equated to chi. This is also known as ki, prana, life force, orgone. It's the energy emitted by the qi gong practitioners or touch healers, and even reiki practitioners. Now for the benefits: Far infrared thermal treatment has been proven in scientific studies to be one of the most effective ways of removing toxic heavy metal and pesticide residue. The thing that makes far infrared thermal treatment so effective is that far infrared rays penetrate deep into the body's tissues, as compared to near infrared rays. Using the Far Infrared Thermal Treatment blanket is like getting an internal body workout. It stimulates your internal organs to detoxify, and speed up or slow down the body's processes, depending on what is needed. When I use the far infrared blanket/ cocoon system, it feels as if the far infrared energy from the blanket goes to where the body needs it the most. For example, when I am developing a cold, or feel the oncoming of a respiratory infection, I jump into the blanket, and it's like my lungs ! are abso rbing all that life force. Good stuff. That's just my experience. It's really quite amazing how much one can sweat in such a life giving device. I sweat buckets, as if I just came straight out of the shower. This is especially pronounced when I'm feeling the onset of illness. This detox business is no joke. The Do's and Don'ts of using the Far Infrared Thermal Treatment Blanket:Do:1. Drink plenty of water- 8 ounces per 15 minute session (green tea or green powder like green magma);2. Take supplements- I personally take multivitamins, glutathione, milk thistle, omega 3-6-9 blend;3. Drink plenty of water after your far infrared session;4. If you sweat easily, ensure you have a large towel as an extra layer;5. Ensure you wear socks;6. You have a clean and relaxing environment;7. You have some relaxing material to watch or listen to;8. Have some Lysol or disinfectant spray handy;9. Take a shower upon completion of the far infrared thermal treatment session- this is to ensure that the toxins released through the sweat glands are washed off thoroughly;10. Air dry the cocoon blanket upon completion of your session; Don't:1. Drink artificially flavored and colored beverages, eg pop, soda, 2. Use the blanket immediately after eating;3. Use after the immediate consumption of alcohol;4. Wear shoes when using the blanket;5. Use on an uneven surface. I hope this helps with your quest for optimum health and wellbeing. About the Author There are various versions of the Far Infrared Therapy Devices Available. You can choose either the Far Infrared Therapy Dome or the Far Infrared Therapy Sauna Blanket.

Article by Big Lou
Massage is one of the oldest forms of art with the human body and the benefits of it are often underestimated. The history of massage is one that stems from Asia, specifically in China and India. Many ask what exactly is massage therapy, as the term is used broadly in places such as spas to hospitals. It is the combination of human touch and moving of the muscles to create a relaxed state of mind. To learn it, you must learn its different definitions, practices and therapeutic effects known to practitioners throughout the history. The foundation of massage, especially medical therapy is often credited to the Eastern Chinese medical practices of 2000 BC. However, can have many benefits that are not all medical massage benefits. For example, the human touch element that has little to do with how you learn and much to do with how personable the massage therapist is and the energy they bring into the room. Kneading muscles and skin, having a top of the line massage table warmer or using the perfect combination of towels and lighting is not effective if the client is not in a relaxed state of mind. The therapist, too, has to learn massage therapy in a way that is relaxing and creates positive energy for their patients. Remember, no matter which type of massage you practice, patients usually see you for help becoming more relaxed and in less pain. Types of practice include back pain therapy, medical therapy, chronic massage therapy, stress relief therapy and other practices that are similar such as aroma therapy (massage techniques with scented oils), Reiki (foot massage) and other techniques. There is great debate on whether back pain therapy is really effective in the medical community. For example, a Pub Med article by the USA government department of health studied a group of chronic back pain therapy patients and found that it significantly approved their condition and made their back pain less intense. In fact, the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario found that in order to learn m! assage t herapy and effectively help these patients, it was necessary to learn it on back pain. Continuing education showed that, in this study, 92% of patients had improved function, less intense pain and decrease sharpness of pain when massage therapy was used. Healing practices or occurred in the 2000 BC but continue to occur today. Most medical massage therapists treat back pain therapy, sports injury or other types of chronic pain. These therapists are often certified and learn therapy through different schools and educational programs. However, the longest program in the world is in British Columbia, Canada and is three years long to learn massage. While this seems like a long program, for any program, massage continuing education is an important part of any program. Healers in Eastern cultures are often priests, or spiritual leaders who practice medical therapy in their community. However, as researcher Paul Ingram of Vancouver, Canada, suggests, massage benefits tend to be "temporary and inconsistent" and can vary from patient to patient, massage therapy spa clinic to clinic and even from therapist to therapist. Current trends extend past the history of massage and use historical techniques with modern medicine to establish practices that are well balanced between the two. In order to learn massage, therapists today should be open to a broad range of techniques, tools and purposes. While massage used to be a simple concept, new Western and Eastern combination of the history of massage therapy with today allows for diversity in techniques.

In this article I will be writing about the different forms of alternative health therapy that I like to try and about the benefits they bring. As you will see I am very much a convert to the alternative health route - I hope you enjoy the read. It is quite amazing as to how far I have come and as to how much I have changed as a person over the last fifteen years. Why? Well because back in the day I was very much a traditional type of person who never ever gave a second thought to any form of complementary therapy. This all changed when I met the love of my life; my wife Linda. We met in 1996 at a wedding and it really was love at first sight - well at least it was for me. Linda was, and still is, a reflexologist. When I first met her I had no real idea as to what reflexology consisted of but I was soon to find out lol. The mere thought of having somebody messing about with my feet really would of put me off my dinner and when Linda first suggested the idea I was some what wary. OK I am a wimp! At the end of the day I have to admit that I found this first reflexology experience to be rather amazing - I was soon asking for more! I then went to find the nearest hospital to seek their hospital information about other forms of alternative therapy. I have since tried tai chi, reiki and an Indian head massage. I book at least one treatment each month. All in all I now feel like my body is so much more alive and far less fragile than before. I am also a far more relaxed person than previously.

Ten minutes go by, fifteen, twenty. You tell yourself not to look at the clock, but you do anyway. It's been a half hour and you're still not asleep. Thoughts from the day race through your mind at breakneck speed. You begin to worry about what needs to get done tomorrow. Then the tossing and turning begins. Finally you drift into a restless sleep, only to wake an hour later. This is insomnia, a sleep disorder many of us encounter at some point in our lives. It is usually caused by stressful events, such as a job loss, a change in relationship or an unexpected health concern. But sometimes the daily stresses and strains of our "normal lives" can lead to that unwanted midnight soul searching. Usually, insomnia will resolve itself naturally in less than three months. This type of insomnia is known as "acute insomnia." But what if it doesn't? Or what if you don't want wait three months? First, address your sleep hygiene. Many good articles have been written on how to solve sleep difficulties naturally by addressing your sleeping habits, environment and more.Next, try these three simple energy medicine exercises based on the award winning work of author and teacher Donna Eden. You can do these exercises lying in bed, and you can't overdo them. In fact, the more often you practice these techniques, the quicker you will restore your energy to complete balance. • Hook up: This exercise leaves you feeling whol, calm and connected. o Place the middle finger of either hand in your belly button and tug up lightly towards your head. o Place the middle finger of your other hand in the location of the "third eye" at the middle of your forehead. Again, tug up lightly. o Breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth for a minute. • Close your "third eye": This exercise helps you to shut off disruptive thoughts and images. o Imagine you have an "eyelid" or little window shade in the middle of your foreheado Take your thumb and place it ! in the m iddle of your forehead (the location of the third eye). o Inhale deeply, and on the exhale, pull your thumb down the center of your forehead to the bridge of your nose, as if you are pulling the windowshade or eyelid down.o Repeat as often as needed. • Calm your triple warmer meridian. This exercise helps to lessen worry, anxiety, tension, headaches and angry thoughts. o Rest the palm of your left hand lightly on your cheek so that your fingertips are lightly touching your temple. o Rest your right hand across the center of your throat, covering the inside edges of your collarbone. o Breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth for a minute or so. o Switch hands and repeat on the other side. Why try energy medicine? Whenever we have a health challenge, you can bet it is being reflected in your "energy anatomy," including your aura, chakras and acupuncture meridians. Author and teacher Donna Eden defines energy medicine as "the science and art of optimizing your energies to help your body and mind function at their best." Eden Energy Medicine can help to resolve acute insomnia quickly, safely and effectively with no side effects.Energy Medicine restores balance and renews your body's natural energies.

Nevertheless, a few conventional medical doctors recognize the benefits of alternative medicine and have gradually begun to educate themselves and their patients about natural remedies for anxiety and other conditions. Many medical doctors are providing and encouraging their patients to try these natural remedies first before resorting to potentially dangerous drugs. Traditional Chinese medicine: Anxiety is considered as an indication of a systemic disorder, and Chinese medicine observes anxiety as an obstruction of qi, or vital force, within the patient's body. The practitioners of Chinese medicine choose acupuncture point locations and/or herbal therapy to stir the qi and rebalance the whole system relative to the lung and large intestine. Homeopathic medicine: It opts for a remedy, derived! from other related symptoms and the patient's overall structure and personality type. Homeopathy can be extremely supportive in curing anxiety disorders. Since the medicines used in homeopathy are used in such small doses, as well as the extensive techniques for making homeopathy recipes makes the side effects very minimal in any at all. Herbal medicine: Herbal medicine is thousands of years old and the first healing techniques known to man. This natural medicine knowledge comes from the indigenous people of India. Siberian Ginseng has been traditionally used for hundreds of years and is believed to alleviate anxiety. It does by providing support to the adrenal glands which boosts adrenaline and eliminating anxiety attack symptoms.

Many people in the US are nowadays suffering from back pain making it one of the main ailments that doctors are treating. Data obtained from the National Institute of Health indicates that in every five adults four will suffer from back pain within their life time. Those who have suffered from back pains already know the effects it has on their daily lives. The main causes of back pains include muscle strain; irritation or injury to the large nerve that runs down the legs and arms, or the small nerves inside the spine; or from an injury to the discs, bones, joints or ligaments in the spine. But what is more encouraging is the fact that with massage therapy the effects of these problems can be minimized and the back pain reduced and you can do your daily tasks normally. The benefits of massage therapy are recognized by many experts and they recommend massage for the management of chronic or acute back pain. Massage therapy is recognized by many health care providers as a solution for back pain and many of their patients are asked to visit licensed massage therapists. According to research carried out at the Touch Research Institute at the University of Miami in 2001 massage therapy does not only decrease back pain but it also increases the levels of serotonin and dopamine thereby helping to reduce depression and anxiety. Those who went through massage not only slept well but also improved their range of motion. This is according to a report contained in the International Journal of Neuroscience, 106, 131-145. A similar research by the American Massage Therapy Association also shows that with massage blood circulation is improved in the body thereby quickening the healing of the back muscles and back tissues leaving the body muscles in a relaxed mood. This helps the functions of the body and its ability to carry out other tasks. Through massage oxygen and nutrients is sent to the muscles and this helps in the elimination of acids and waste that results to pain and stiffness.

Through this the effects of inflammation, muscle spasms, tension, aches, stiffness and pain is lessened. The type of massage therapy you will be given depends on your condition. You may be given Swedish massage which involves more friction and energy. You can also be given Myofascial Release for the relive of tension that is found in the support muscles.

When I was a teenager I would often feel rather sorry for myself. Life, you see, had not dealt me a very good hand of cards - or at least that is what I believed at this stage of my life. All of this doom and gloom and negative attitude that I walked around with was far from helpful and this is perhaps one of the reasons why I struggled to gain any form of confidence or happiness. Now that I am aged in my twenties my life has taken a turn for the good - with the help of psychic readings and alternative therapy. So why did I believe as a teenager that I had been dealt such a poor hand of cards? Well it was due to the fact that I had a speech impediment, due to the fact that I was the shortest male in my class and also due to the fact that I have a bald patch on my scalp which is rather large and ugly. So what happened when you were in your twenties to help you to improve your life? Well I met the love of my life, a woman called Paula. She is a person who loves the alternative such as reiki, reflexology and massages. She also likes to attend live psychic readings and clairvoyant readings. Paula introduced these to me and I am now very much a convert. They have given me a new purpose in life as well as something to look forward to. They have made me some what of a more relaxed, care-free and happy person as well as man who now thinks in a positive manner - thinking positively has many benefits just on its own. By far the biggest thing that I have gained from these alternative therapies and psychic readings is the fact that I now look forward to the future and I am also very content with the hand of cards that I have been dealt.

It is nothing but Thai charm that makes Thailand one of the most enthralling tourist destinations in South East Asia. A Golden Land in every sense, the land is known for its golden beaches, gleaming fields and all the more for the huge treasures that lay beneath the surface of the land. And the Thai charm doesn't exist just in its nature. The magic that makes the land so inviting lies in the rich culture that breathes there and also the souls that inhabit the land. A buzzing commercial center, Thailand has immense business opportunities for the aspiring businessman too. With woods as deep as one can imagine them to be and wildlife you can fight for, Thailand is an ultimate touring destination for any nature lover or a wild life enthusiast. Worth visiting here is the Tarutao Marine National Park, a place known around for the amazing wildlife and natural wealth it preserves.

Article by mark kelly
Like so many budding authors, I have had my fair share of rejections. This comes with the territory. More wounding were the acceptances which turned out to be false dawns. A few years ago, I had a manuscript accepted for publishing by a seemingly respectable house, a specialist in New Age topics and alternative therapies. As my novel was firmly based in that milieu, I thought it had found its home. The first inkling that the publisher might not be all that I thought was when they asked for a contribution to the costs of editing and preparing the first edition for the press. Vanity Publishing, screamed a voice in my head, but when I looked into it further I found that many smaller firms engage in "collaborative" funding of unknown authors. I bit the bullet and handed over the cash. And waited.... And waited some more. Things were complicated by the fact that the publisher was in the West Coast of the US and I was resident in the UK, so chasing them up was a little impractical. They ended up going bankrupt, to cut a long story short, and left a lot of otherwise mellow New Age practitioners saying some very uncharitable things about them... Fast forward a few years to find me browsing my newly-gifted Kindle to see what catches my fancy. One of my first reads was the free brochure from Amazon themselves about how to publish on the Kindle. Amazingly, almost all you need to do is create an account, tidy up your text (the fewer fancy bullets and text formatters the better), upload it and decide on a price (I went for the minimum of 99c and 99p). The review process is pretty quick - before I knew it I had two novels published, both of them made available to the masses on Christmas Day. In fact, it was like a Christmas present to myself - when people asked me what I had done over the holidays I could say "oh, well, I published a couple of novels I had sitting around" to dropped jaws all round. One thing I didn't appreciate at this point was that you don't even need a Kindle reader to read! books d istributed via Amazon (meaning that your potential audience is even wider than the Kindle user base). I now have very usable free Kindle readers installed in my PCs and iPhone. They all sync up wirelessly and seamlessly behind the scenes, so that whatever point I may have reached in my current book on the Kindle is where I'll be taken when firing up the PC or iPhone version. So, where does that leave me? I have two published works in the Kindle store and an author page on Amazon (look for Mark Kelly or Mark Kelly Alpha Lab on either the US or UK website). My second novel (Obsession) was very different in style and was a more caustic and humorous look at relationships. It was actually written as my entry to the National Novel Writers Month competition, which takes place every November, and requires a full novella length entry to be prepared from beginning to end within a single month. The Alpha Lab is lengthier and deals more with my experience of new age therapies and ideas, ranging from meditation and Silva mind control to Reiki and Autogenic Training. I am currently preparing a collection of short stories to add to my list. My creative writing has taken on a new lease of life now that I know that anything I can produce will find a platform. If you have struggled to find the right outlet for your creative writing, take a look at Amazon Kindle publishing. By way of example, take a look at my author page, referenced in the Resource box below and feel free to get in touch if you need any more help or encouragement. About the Author The author Mark Kelly has been writing creatively for the majority of his life although repeatedly interrupted by better paid employment. His author page may be seen here or by searching for Mark Kelly or The Alpha Lab or both on any Amazon site.
