Have a holistic Shiatsu Massage
Shiatsu massage is an ancient Western massage that is beneficial to the whole body.
It seems that whatever ease and calm efforts we try to make our lives less stressful, it turns out we can’t control what’s going on around us. And this, as it always had done, makes us more tiring and exhausted by the end of the day. You may not know it, but perhaps the extreme stress and tiredness may be due to something else. The best retreat, a soothing massage to comfort the aching and tired mind and body.

A good alternative for relaxation is the Shiatsu massage. Shiatsu massage is holistic, focusing on the whole person, both mind and body. Unlike western medicine, which treats symptoms, Shiatsu seeks to discover and treat the source of the imbalance. Consequently, Shiatsu may be used both to treat and prevent disease. During a session, one might also receive various suggestions that are intended to assist the healing process. These suggestions may include dietary, life habits, thought/perception and lifestyle changes. Shiatsu is also a great alternative for people interested in the benefits of acupuncture but are needle shy. Because shiatsu’s focus is on massaging the meridians, so to speak, the massage may feel deep and focused without feeling invasive and "pushy."

Shiatsu massage treats common psychological and physical complaints by pressing pressure points. Proponents believe it alleviates disorders such as depression, anxiety, nausea, stiffness, headaches, arthritis, cramps, or pulled muscles. This Japanese equivalent of the Chinese method of acupressure comes from the Japanese words "shi" and "atsu," meaning "finger pressure."

Shiatsu massage, sometimes called Zen shiatsu, unifies spiritual, philosophical, and medical aspects of the body. Some westernized massage techniques are combined with the view that energy, qi or chi, circulates along channels called meridians. When freely flowing, chi brings fresh, strong energy and carries away spent energy along with toxins. In this view, any number of influences upset our natural balance of yin and yang. Blocked or diverted chi must be cleared and restored. An Eastern perspective doesn't cite sleeplessness, indigestion, swollen joints, headaches, or depression as sources of discomfort, but sees them as symptoms of either hyperactive or underproductive chi.

Most people enjoy shiatsu massage as much as they enjoy deep tissue massage, but expect some differences. Shiatsu will involve deep breathing, rotating and stretching your joints, as well as manipulating pressure points. When these points are pressed, people describe the sensation as feeling tender, tickling, intense, or slightly uncomfortable, unlike anything else. After the massage, you may feel strange, but not sore as in a muscular tissue massage. Many believe Shiatsu is both preventative and healing, so getting it done on a regular basis, along with stretching, exercise, and a healthy diet, may improve your health.

Shiatsu supports the self-healing process. As a holistic form of treatment, it looks on illness and symptoms of disease as an imbalance of energy. Treatment stimulates, relaxes, invigorates, decongests, and gives an overall sense of body/mind/spirit well-being. Shiatsu not only works on the visible symptoms of imbalance, but also at an even deeper level, the energetic level, the root of all imbalances. This may eventually give you a better disposition and a more energetic lifestyle, the best way to live the day!

The Treatment Of Diabetes Using Alternative Medicine
Although there have been considerable advances in conventional medicine, many people believe strongly in the use of complementary and alternative medicine for many conditions and this is certainly true in the case of diabetes.

Complementary and alternative medicine use a number of products and practices which are not presently considered to be part of the mainstream system of healthcare and the main difference between the two is that complementary medicine is designed to be used alongside conventional treatment while alternative medicine is used instead of conventional treatment.

There are many forms of both complimentary and alternative medicine which are believed to produce beneficial effects but there are others forms can be extremely harmful and, in the case of a potentially serious condition such as diabetes, you should not use either without the knowledge of your doctor. Indeed, you should talk to your doctor about any form of complimentary or alternative medicine which you wish to use so that he can advise you of any possible medical consequences of such treatment.

There are a large number of different types of complimentary and alternative therapy for diabetes including:

1. Guided Imagery. Guided imagery is technique which relaxes the mind and body and develops an awareness of, and an ability to deal with, the body's response to pain using peaceful images. This can be particularly useful for diabetes suffering with nerve damage.

2. Acupuncture. Acupuncture involves the insertion of needles into different parts of the body and can be used to trigger the release of natural chemical painkillers. It can be especially helpful for diabetes suffering with often painful nerve damage (neuropathy).

3. Magnesium. The exact part played by magnesium in controlling diabetes is poorly understood but it is known that this mineral, which is found in green leaf vegetables, whole grain foods and nuts, plays an important role in many of the body's functions including functions of the nerves, heart, muscles and bones. It also plays a part in the helping the body to handle glucose and low levels of magnesium are often found in people suffering from diabetes.

4. Ginseng. Ginseng has become very popular popularity recently for the treatment of a whole range of different conditions and is sold widely. There is some evidence from studies using American ginseng that it can reduce glucose levels, but this evidence is not strong enough yet to say just how effective it is as a form of therapy. One problem with ginseng is that it comes in a variety of different forms and strengths and nobody really knows just what amount or strength is needed for therapeutic purposes.

Whatever form of complimentary or alternative medicine you would like to try it is important to remember that you treating a serious and potentially life-threatening condition and that you should consult your doctor before trying any form of therapy.

Reiki Healing – How It Can Help You
Reiki can help anyone and this article will introduce this fascinating subject and explain how you can enhance your life.
Reiki can help anyone and this article will introduce this fascinating subject and explain how you can enhance your life.

Reiki is a word in Japanese meaning – Rei / ki or Divine Life Force Energy. For Westerners to easily understand, it is like the "laying on of hands".

The universal (and always healing) life force passes through the hands of the practitioner to the patient.

A feeling of well being

Reiki healing is meant to give the feeling of well-being, wholeness and loving happiness. It often spontaneously heals.
The treatment treats the whole person (holistic treatment), and you can feel the loving radiance all around you.

Healing physical mental and spiritual

Reiki healing treats 3 bodily states of physical, mental and spiritual.Besides being simple, Reiki healing is a natural and safe method that anyone can use.

Testimonies show that Reiki has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady and always creates a beneficial effect.

More importantly Reiki healing methods well in conjunction with any medical or therapeutic techniques, it not only relieves side effects it also promotes a speedy recovery.

How can I learn it?

Anyone can learn Reiki, and in fact, it is not learnt, but experience and then transferred by the teacher (Master) to the student.

This is done by the Master raising the vibratory level of the student, and then opening the awareness of the student to the unlimited universal healing life energy.

This is not dependent on the educational level of the student, or even intelligence, but is directed to our own universal essence, and therefore, all can learn it.

Reiki is not a spiritual movement, or an organized religion, and indeed is contrary to popular belief that you must be religious in order to achieve this. You need only experience it, and as it is a natural part of your own essence, you are instantly familiar with it. However, as it comes from our Creator, your own closeness to whomever you feel comfortable with (as our Creator) will enhance your own abilities in Reiki.

The benefits of reiki

You can be healed and heal.
You can raise your own spiritual level, and raise that of others.

As Reiki is truly holistic, your body, emotions, mind and spirit are affected positively (or you can treat others). The natural consequence being special beneficial effects including true relaxation, feelings of peace, security and wellbeing.

How can I begin?

There are Reiki Masters and teachers throughout the world. You must use your intuition to choose the right one. The "right" one will be shown to you during a treatment.

You will instinctively feel the difference, and when the fit is correct (between you and the Master or teacher) you will understand without explanation.

One word of note is that the more you are in harmony with the universal goodness the more the Reiki will work for you and others. This is being in harmony with nature, with your diet, with your thoughts and attitudes. The Reiki treatment itself will assist in this harmonizing effect.

Strangely Reiki is comparatively rare today in Japan where it originated. Instead it has proliferated in the West and has a worldwide presence.

The naysayers such as scientists, doctors and physiologists dispute the effectiveness of Reiki, not because is does not work, but because studies have shown that it does not facilitate healing but because the healing it brings is compared to the placebo effect.

Reiki is for everyone

Reiki healing has gained popularity worldwide within hospitals and many doctors themselves.

The UK NHS (National Health Service) as part of its Complementary Alternative Medicine program uses Reiki as part of day care patient programs.

Reiki healing can help anyone and could help you to.

Yoga Sequencing
Discover the ancient yoga secrets to creating a powerful, customized yoga sequence designed to treat your unique physiology.
Yoga Sequencing
The Ancient Yoga Secret Of Creating A Powerful Customized Yoga Sequence.

Modern sports training takes enormous care to create sessions that are carefully sequenced.

You warm up your body before you do any strenuous exercise.

You might also stretch.

Then you build the intensity of your training then cool down, then stretch again.

With some sports training you take time between particularly strenuous exercise to give your body a chance to recover.

This carefully planned sequence is common place in scientifically based modern sports training.

But thousands of years before the field of sports science was developed, ancient yoga teachers and students began developing an even more sophisticated system to sequence their yoga sessions.

In a yoga session you can use sequencing to profoundly effect many different parts of your body including your arms, legs, joints even in your internal organs.

A yoga sequence can also change your thoughts, your emotions and more.

So how do you create a safe effective yoga sequence?

If you were training for a sport you would have a particular goal in mind for each training session.

You may want to improve a particular skill or range of skills or you might want to build strength in a particular muscle group.

In a yoga session, and especially in a Viniyoga session this goal or intention you have for the session is vital when you set out to create a sequence that will serve your intentions.

You might want to increase your level of energy or build your body – with a brhmana practice.

Or you might want to relax, calming and soothing your body – with a langhana practice.

Perhaps you want to experience a certain posture you enjoy.

You might have a particular physical or emotional problem you want to deal with in your session.

You can custom design a yoga practice as therapy for a wide variety of problems including...

# Lower back pain
# Upper back pain
# Neck and shoulder pain
# Pain in your sacrum, hips, knees and other joints...

# Digestive problems
# Repiratory problems like asthma and bronchitis
# High blood pressure, high cholesterol and other heart conditions

# Cramps and period pain
# Menopausal hot flashes
# Moodiness, depression and other mood disorders
# And many, many other conditions.

Also important is context in which you will be practicing. Consider the time of day, the temperature, what activities you will do before practice, and what you will do afterward.

Take into account any physical and emotional conditions that you are not specifically addressing in your practice. For example, you may want to strenghten your back, but to safely do so you need to avoid irritating your injured knee.

Here are a few fundamentals for creating a yoga sequence custom designed for you, your unique problems and your unique physiology.

First you need to keep in mind how contracting, relaxing and stretching a muscle effects that muscle.

You want to have each muscle and each group of muscles prepared before you place them under stress.

In yoga the most natural postures we use are those based around forward bends.

You bend forward all the time in everyday life – it's a very natural movement.

You bend forward to pick up something of the floor.

You bend forward as you sit down and as you get up from a lying position.

Because bending forward is a natural, low risk movement we frequently use forward bends in our yoga sequences as a "hub" or transition from one type of posture to the next.

Also when we move from a standing posture to a lying posture we try to do a kneeling posture in between to make that transition smoother and more natural.

We also use "symmetric" postures to balance your body after performing "assymetric" postures – and we often use assymetric postures to prepare for some deeper symmetric postures.

And if you're going to do a risky posture somewhere in your sequence we will plan to do it near the middle of your session.

That way your body will be prepared but you won't be tired so your risk of injury is at an absolute minimum.

Custom designing a yoga sequence is a sophisticated science and a HUGE part of Viniyoga teacher training.

Every posture has a different effect and changing the sequence in which you do postures changes the affect.

If you really consider the implications of that, you'll realize that there are an almost infinite number of combinations of postures and an infinite number of affects you could achieve from those combinations based on your unique physiology and phsychology.

And this is just the asana. When you add in the other elements of yoga – pranayama, sound, chanting, meditation, prayer and ritual – sequencing becomes even more complex.

That's why it's best to have your yoga sequences designed especially for you by a fully certified Viniyoga teacher – someone trained in the sophisticated science of biomechanics, anatomy and sequencing.

The Heart Of Yoga - Developing A Personal Practice
Discover the powerful secret of integrating multiple elements into your yoga practice...
The Powerful Secret Of Integrating Multiple Elements Into Your Yoga Practice...

In our modern health system and especially in modern medicine the idea of isolating one symptom or problem then trying to treat just that symptom is widespread.

You might take a diuretic to lower your blood pressure and statins to reduce your cholesterol.

Then you go to a psychologist or psychotherapist to deal with your excessive anxiety and your "type A" personality.

You get liposuction as a full on onslaught in your "battle of the bulge" to remove the excess body fat around your tummy.

But the high blood pressure, the cholesterol, the anxiety and type A personality and the fat on your tummy are all inter-related.

They're all symptoms of a poor diet and lifestyle and even modern medicine is now realizing that trying to treat the body like a machine made up of separate parts is ineffective and can even be dangerous.

Every part of your physical body, your mind and your emotions are all interrelated.

Modern science has discovered that when you feel happy that can lower your blood pressure, reduce fat storage, improve the functioning of your immune system and create a whole range of other positive benefits throughout your body.

Science has also demonstrated that poor physical health – high blood pressure for example – can leave you irritable and anxious.

Just learning to think more clearly – cognitive therapy – can reduce anxiety and blood pressure and help relieve depression.

And this is just a tiny snapshot of how all our bodies systems tie together.

Modern science is now learning that a combination of therapies to treat your body, your mind, your emotions and even your spiritual health as a whole integrated system can be far more effective at treating disease than any single therapy.

It's taken us decades of astonishingly expensive and elaborate technological and medical research to discover the basic wisdom ancient yoga teachers have used for thousands of years.

In the ancient yoga traditions and especially in Viniyoga, your yoga practice combines a whole range of different elements to engage your mind, your body, your emotions and your spirit.

Most important of all your practice is custom designed to fit you.

You should have a clear intention to every yoga practice.

You should set out with a clear goal of what you're trying to achieve.

It's a shame but many modern western yoga modalities have lost this integration of different methods in yoga practice.

When you design YOUR yoga session you might include...

# Breathing or pranayama.

# Physical postures or asana.

# Sound with or without meaning

# Chanting or repeating (silently or aloud) some phrase, poem or prayer that has significance and meaning to you.

# Meditation

# Prayer and

# Relaxation or savasana.

In a well designed yoga session every one of these elements is combined together carefully and customized for your unique physiology, psychology, and spritual beliefs - whatever is appropriate and useful for you now.

Most important of all every element is combined with an intention in mind.

You first started practicing yoga because you wanted some kind of results out of your practice.

You might want to relieve stress or back pain.

You might want to improve the quality of your sleep or overcome insomnia.

You might want to get your moods under control.

You might just want to find some inner peace in our crazy, hectic modern world.

Whatever your intention is right now every part of your yoga practice should be custom designed to serve that intention – to take you closer to the goal you set for today's practice.

Having a clear intention and combining different elements and techniques into your yoga practice will give you more rapid results.

15-20 minutes of highly focused, customized, integrated practice can be far more effective than a 60 minute yoga class.

Also, you're more likely to continue with short, tightly focused yoga sessions where you see real results.

So having a clear intention of what you want to achieve every time you practice and combining many different elements into your yoga practice is an ancient yoga secret that is now being validated with modern science.

The Benefits Of Hatha Yoga Examined
Find out how hatha yoga can help people of all ages - from children to the elderly. And discover how yoga is different to regular exercise.
Hatha yoga is more commonly known as simply 'yoga'. It's a system of exercise originating from India. There are many branches of hatha yoga - you may have heard of Iyengar yoga, Ashtanga yoga, Kriya yoga, Vini yoga and Bikram yoga. They all involve postures or 'asanas'. Some asanas are gentle stretching exercises which can improve flexibility, and others help to develop and improve strength and balance.

Hatha yoga was born in traditional Hindu spiritual practice, so it's no surprise that it may also involve meditation and chanting, as well as philosophical and religious considerations. For those who purely wish to use it as a form of physical exercise, there are many completely secular versions available!

Why Is Hatha Yoga Such A Good Form Of Exercise

The first benefit is that it's a fitness routine that can be used by people of all ages and levels of fitness. It can get you into shape and keep you that way if used regularly. Yoga differs from other forms of exercise in that it involves motions that don't cause strain on the body. When performed correctly, the asanas have no negative effects on the body or mind.

It isn't an aerobic exercise but it uses almost every muscle. It can help to develop and improve balance, coordination and a feeling of being centered. The limbs are used like free weights and the body's center of gravity is moved to create resistance. Over time, the limbs become stronger and the focus then shifts to endurance as the asanas are held for increasing periods of time.

The aim is quality of movement rather than quantity. Regular practice of hatha yoga can bring peace and happiness to the mind and improved health and relaxation to the body.

How Hatha Yoga Can Help At Any Age

Yoga is great fun for children and teenagers and it's easy for them to do, as they are already flexible. Yoga can help them retain that flexibility. It can also help to develop their self-discipline. Practicing asanas is good for developing coordination and can help to improve concentration – which many children and teens find difficult.

Yoga is the ideal exercise during pregnancy. Asanas can improve backache and help to lift depression. Many women who practice yoga have said that it helped to make their labor easier and shorter. Be careful to only do asanas that have been approved for pregnant women. The meditation side of yoga is also calming and centering during pregnancy.

Older people use yoga to improve and/or maintain flexibility, correct poor posture, strengthen the spine, and ease back pain. It can also improve digestion and elimination, facilitate circulation, improve breathing disorders, and lift mood.

Yoga Can Help You To Cope

Many of the problems suffered in modern life may be eased by following a regular yoga routine.

Asanas can release the tense muscles caused by hours of sitting at a desk. Breathing deeply can improve vitality by increasing the amount of oxygen that reaches the brain. Meditation can enhance the power of concentration and calm the mind. Yoga teaches full relaxation and encourages good sleep. It also helps digestion and improves circulation.

Used regularly, it can improve physical and mental health and is also known to enhance creativity. Give it a try!

Find out what classes are available in your area - a properly qualified instructor can ensure that you are doing the asanas correctly and safely. If you'd rather try it at home, get a DVD (again, with a qualified instructor). There are lots to choose from!
