The Many Benefits Of Massage Therapy

There are many benefits of massage therapy. Getting a massage is for all types of people, of all walks of life. From workers who are on a field to people who sit behind a desk, from active people to athletes. Massage can release toxins from your body, slow down and relax your mind, regulate your digestive system, improve your circulation, relieve aches, pains and stress. Not only does your mind and body rejuvenate from a massage, but your skin does too w/ the herbal lotions and oils that I use. Your breathing also benefits by massage, as you breathe aromatherapy in deep.

I am going to first make a list of the many benefits of massage therapy. My list will be elaborated upon, in future days. I hope this initial list of benefits will encourage my readers to include massage therapy into your lifestyle, whether you take the time to get a massage, or in return give a massage to your friends and family. Massage each other in a healing manner, w/ the intent to make each other feel better. It can be professional, friendly and always fun when you share the art of massage therapy!

Please note, it is very important to drink a lot of water before and after a massage. Your body needs to release toxins and the water will enable your body to renew itself.

A massage causes the following effects:

1. Improves Circulation
2. Detoxifies Skin
3. Energizes Brain
4. Flushes Organs
5. Regulates Functions of Digestive System
6. Relieves Stress
7. Filters Lymph & Toxins Between Muscles and Bones
8. Relieves Aches and Pains
9. Eliminates Waste from Urinary System
10. Cleans and Boosts Immune System
11. Releases Inflammatory System
12. Calms Nervous System
13. Comforts Your Needs For Physical Affection
14. Makes You Feel Better

I am so excited to share this information with my readers. Thank you, each and
every one of you for reading. I'm so thrilled to know that you, like me, are always
trying to improve your lifestyle w/ healthy choices. Remember, you only have one
body, so please, take care of yourself!

Best regards always,
Jules

My Massage School Experiences

My massage school experiences were very memorable. I remember initially when I
was studying @ Santa Monica Healing Arts College to be a Massage Technician.
The teachers were chiropractors. I remember one man in particular. He was very
thorough in explaining how and why the movements and strokes were done.

They also taught us the anatomy, the functions of the organs and also details
about how all of the systems work. There was also a lot of study about nutrition.
These days of school really stick out in my mind often and I attribute my healthy
lifestyle to the things I've learned in that particular course alone. The course was
fun, due to the fact that half the day you are giving massage and the other half
of the day, you are receiving. I chose to go first on the final exam. The exam
consisted of a written and a 3 hour massage. I gave a massage to a fellow student
who then in return, massaged me for the last 3 hours of the day! Very enjoyable.
He was much bigger than me and did incredible deep tissue. I must say though,
I was exhausted by then and think I fell asleep.

My second year of courses was @ Encino Touch Therapy. The courses that I
elected to study were Deep Tissue, Shiatsu, Sports, Pregnancy, Hip Knee & Ankle, Therapeutic Stretching I II & III and Advanced Swedish massage.

These schooling days are also memorable but in a more technical sort of way. There wasn't much more talk about anatomy, but, instead, deep analyzations about different tempos, positions, reasons and a lot of explanations. It was an amazing extension of my studies!

I am so happy to have learned a great skill. I feel so confident when people
compliment my abilities. I enjoy taking care of people, as I feel instantly gratified!

Thanks for reading!

Best regards to you always!

Vitamins Definitely Keep You Healthy!

It's important to take vitamins and to take them the right way, w/ lots of water and after eating. Vitamins definitely keep you healthy!

Take Calcium for your bones and you also have to take Magnesium and Vitamin D with it. You can do an online search regarding this subject and read about the important reasons why you should not take Calcium by itself w/out Magnesium and Vitamin D. Calcium is important for your bones.

You can order vitamins @ any online vitamin store or buy them @ the market or store in your neighborhood. You can take vitamins in either pill, powder or liquid form.

Everyday vitamins are important to take, such as a multiple vitamin called Centrum A-Z, also take Vitamin C for your immunity, Vitamin A for your eyesight, skin, hair & mucous membranes, Vitamin E for your skin & heart, Vitamin B-Complex for your mood, mental clarity, energy, improved reaction time and all B Vitamins are very important for your nervous system, digestions, muscles & heart. Take vitamins to build and strengthen your immune system to fight off antibodies. A weak immune system cannot fight off air-born & other illnesses that you are around & exposed to on a daily basis.

Once in a while you should take an Antioxidant to cleanse your blood, kidneys and liver. Read about all of the different Antioxidants that are available. One of them is Green Tea. You can take it in a tea form or a pill.

You can take Echinecea, which is a natural antibiotic to fight off a cold. If the cold doesn't go away, you should consult a doctor. You can also take Acai berry to cleanse your stomache and it helps you to lose weight.

Also, if your job or activity causes you to sweat a lot, be sure to drink fluids that contain Electrolytes in them to replace what your body is using.

Beta-Carotene and Vitamin B-12 are important vitamins for women to take, as it helps them to be regular with their menstruation cycles.

It is important for men to take all of the vitamins mentioned above but men also need to take Zinc. It keeps the prostate healthy.

Herbs are also important. If you have an illness you could take herbs but you should consult a doctor first. Do an online search for herbal remedies specific for the illness or symptoms that you are having. For severe illnesses, you might want to look into a Rainforest Remedy but please take herbs only under doctor's approval. Always be sure to also do research on the proper way to take herbs.

Sometimes our bodily functions such as vision can be improved and there are herbs that are specific for curing different functions of the body. Lutigold & Bilberry are good for the eyes. Gingko Biloba is good for the memory.

Always do an online search by reading and doing research about the product (vitamin or herb) that you take or consume. Sometimes there are warning and side effects that you should be aware of. If you have an illness, always consult w/ a doctor of any product that you are consuming.

If you are a female, or know of one that is having excessive menstruation problems, Blue Cohosh is good to help stop heavy or excessive bleeding but you must read about all of the ways to take it and please if you take it while you are pregnant, you need to read about all of the preventions and side-effects before taking it, as you could cause other illnesses or abortion. Always read about herbs before taking them. Also Ginseng, read about it and the side-effects it has on women if taken too much.

I have more to write here but this is all I can think of off the top of my healthy head for now. I will update it regularly. I hope this helps a lot of people be healthy and prosperous!

10 Ways To De-Stress If You Can't Afford A Massage

10 Ways To De-Stress If You Can't Afford A Massage

1. Take a hot bath. Put a cup of bath salt (Epsom Salt is affordable and you could get it at any drug store.) Rub the soap bar all over your body.
The soap bar is not only intended to deodorize
your skin but also to massage your muscles with.

2. In the bath or on your bed or couch, laying on your back, put your feet up on the wall so your knees are slightly bent, for about 20 minutes. The purpose of this is to elevate your legs higher than your heart.

3. While you are laying on your back, elevating your legs, put your arms up above your head, pointing @ the ceiling and do this for about 10 minutes. The purpose of this is to elevate your arms higher than your heart. Both of these legs and arms elevation techniques are great for improved circulation.

4. Take a slow brisk walk preferably outdoors but indoors could be good such as a mall. Do this walk where there are less toxins such as vehicle fumes or cigarette smoke.

5. Drink a few glasses of water per day. Take vitamins after a meal w/ one of the glasses of water.

6. Go for a swim or do some exercise. Even stretching out on your living room floor can have major benefits for your circulation and heart. It will prepare your muscles for the daily activities that you will encounter throughout the day.

7. Eat fresh fruit and vegetables.

8. Take 10 deep breaths, concentrating on inhaling for 5 seconds and exhaling for 5 seconds. Be conscious of your posture during this exercise. Sit up real tall while doing this so the air can penetrate your lungs.

9. Take up a new hobby or interest that you've been desiring to accomplish for a while but just haven't got to it.

10. And last, but not least, take a nap and shut off all of your phones/devices while you are napping. Afterall, you need time for yourself, don't you? You spend your day helping and serving people. It's time for YOU.

Good luck, relax, breathe deep and tell yourself to calm down, that everything is going to be alright!

Although these foregoing 10 ways to de-stress are effective, the best way to de-stress, relax and unwind is to Get A Massage!
