How to Market a Chair Massage

How to Market a Chair Massage



Whether or not you already have a thriving table massage practice, offering chair massages can be a great way to get into new markets and approach new clients. The way you market a chair massage, though, should be uniquely targeted for this type of massage clientele.







Things You'll Need:





Business cards and/or flyers









1


Practice your chair massage technique. Offer a few friends or current clients free chair massages as you get started. You get a little experience and you can ask them to spread the word for you.





2


Decide on a pricing schedule. Many providers market chair massages by the minute so that customers don't have to make a big time or money investment. You may want to set a minimum number of minutes per massage, though.





3


Call businesses in your area. Many offices are happy to have a chair massage service come by, especially during lunch hour. You may be able to set up a rotating schedule, going to a different office every day of the week.





4


Check out festivals. Many festivals allow chair massage services to set up shop, although you may need to register and/or pay a fee ahead of time. Festivals are often great for business, because lots of tired people with disposable income are passing by.





5


Print business cards and/or flyers to market your chair massage service, and be sure to have these on hand whenever you work at an office, festival or other public location. Happy customers may call you for events like parties, or you might even find some clients for your other massage services.





6


Mention the other services you provide to happy customers while handing out your business cards. People are more likely to ask for other services if you let them know about those services.

How to Manifest Wealth

How to Manifest Wealth



It's hard for some people to believe that they are already wealthy. Everyone has the ability to harness their financial abundance by changing the way they view money. Although money is a tangible object that we can see, hold and smell, it's also energy. By removing limited thinking and boundaries that outline how money is obtained, you can begin to attract the wealth that is already yours. Start believing that you are a money magnet and watch prosperity fill your life.







Things You'll Need:





Quiet room




Water feature like fish tanks and fountains




Green colored items or plants









1


Remove any old beliefs that money is hard-earned or 'money is the root of all evil.' Any negative thoughts you hold about money is obstructing your wealth from reaching you. Develop a good relationship with money and truly believe that you are already wealthy.





2


Everything starts with a vision or a thought. Thoughts are powerful forms of energy that can create reality. Even Olympic athletes perform events in their head as part of their training. Everyone can visualize and it can be anywhere at anytime. All you have to do is imagine your wealth, and you can be as creative as you want to be. Imagine yourself living a million dollar lifestyle, imagine you have an orchard of money
trees
growing in the backyard or that it's raining $100 bills.





3


Meditate on the intention to manifest wealth. Sit in a quiet room where you won't be disturbed and clear your mind of everything except your intention. Meditation allows you to enter a state of peace where negativity does not exist. As you meditate, visualize yourself living your desired outcome. While in this meditative state, repeat the sound 'aah" each time you exhale. This is the sound of creation and it sends a vibration through the body that connects you to what you want to manifest.





4


State one to two affirmations a day (affirmations are declarations of what you want to manifest. They help you to get on the frequency to believing what you are manifesting. They should always be worded in the positive and not the negative. For example, affirming each day that, "I am wealthy," instead of stating, "I am not poor." Affirmations are best stated out loud and should be said several hundred times a day. An ideal time to do your affirmations is on your commute to and from work.





5


Know that feng shui is the ancient Chinese art of placing things so that energy flows freely and harmoniously. Feng shui teaches that the wealth area is in the far left corner of the house and in the far left corner of each room. Water and the color green are associated with wealth and placing water features, like a fountain, aquarium or plant, in the wealth corner can increase the flow of wealth. However, you don't want it to be too fast or stagnate. A photo of a rushing waterfall or a fish bowl with no pump are examples of stagnant and fast-flowing energy sources. Many other feng shui tips exist to stimulate wealth including painting your front door red, making sure there are no leaky pipes, keeping all drains (including the toilet) closed when not in use, keeping your house clutter-free and lighting the walkway to your front door.








Tips & Warnings










Remember to banish all doubts that enter your mind about wealth.

How to Use Homeopathy to Treat Allergies

How to Use Homeopathy to Treat Allergies



Homeopathy, or homeopathic medicine, is an approach to health and wellness that has been widely used in India for centuries and has since found its way to Europe and more recently, the United States. Homeopathy is used to prevent and treat a wide range of illnesses, including allergies. Homeopathy uses various herbal, mineral and practical applications that mimic the symptoms of a particular condition in order to stimulate the body's natural defenses against it.







Things You'll Need:





Computer with Internet access







Treat Allergies With Homeopathy




1


Understand the principle of similars, or sames, that is the basis of homeopathy. A vaccine consists of a weakened strain of a disease that stimulates the body's natural defense, and homeopathy operates under the same principle.





2


Use a resource such as Homeo Info (see Resources below) to read up on homeopathic herbs and treatments used in treating your condition. From the treatments mentioned here, select one you'd like to try. It will likely involve ingesting an herb or tonic that, in huge doses, triggers similar reactions to your allergies.





3


Use the diluted homeopathic agent to treat your allergies. The herb or treatment is intended to mimic the symptoms of allergies, thereby stimulating the body's natural defenses against it.





4


Fight seasonal allergies or pet allergies with homeopathic, over-the-counter treatments you can purchase online--an inexpensive alternative to prescription drugs. Online merchants such as ABC Homeopathy (see Resources below) offer a range of choices.





5


Expect the homeopathic treatment to heighten your symptoms for a short time. This is often referred to as a 'healing crisis,' where the body's defenses are kicked into high gear.








Tips & Warnings










Homeopathy is often referred to as 'alternative medicine' (an alternative to traditional Western-style medicine). Homeopathy, however, does not have to be a substitute for traditional medical treatment and the best results are often seen when used in conjunction with doctor-prescribed treatments, such as prescription drugs taken to treat allergies.








Homeopathic practitioners are not licensed medical professionals in the United States. Only licensed medical professionals can legally diagnose diseases and recommend treatments that are approved by the FDA. If during the course of your homeopathic treatment your symptoms become worse or you experience pain or extreme discomfort during use, discontinue the homeopathic treatment and see your doctor immediately.








Before you start any alternative medical technique, be aware that many have not been scientifically evaluated. Often, only limited information is available about their safety and effectiveness. Each state and each discipline has its own rules about how alternative medicine practitioners can be professionally licensed. If you decide to visit one, choose one licensed by a recognized national organization. Consult your primary healthcare provider about your decision first. Keep your doctor informed about the alternative medical technique you undertake.

How to Use Homeopathy to Boost Your Immune System

How to Use Homeopathy to Boost Your Immune System



An increasing number of people, including licensed medical professionals in the United States, are turning to homeopathy to boost their immune systems in order to fight disease naturally. When things are out of sync in the body, the result is a decline in health and the appearance of visible symptoms. Homeopathy is intended to make you healthier not just by fighting symptoms (like many common over-the-counter and prescription medications), but by addressing the root problem--an imbalance in the body. Through the use of natural ingredients such as various herbs introduced into the body, homeopathy can boost the immune system to fight off disease and to even prevent sickness in the future.







Things You'll Need:





Computer with Internet access to locate and order homeopathic products to boost your immune system







Use Homeopathy to Boost Your Immune System




1


Know that boosting the immune system is the basis of homeopathy. Homeopathy is the use of diluted natural substances that trigger an immune response in the body to fight an incredibly diverse list of ailments.





2


Find a qualified homeopath to treat your present condition and to teach you to
stay healthy
in the future through immune-boosting homeopathy. You can look up local practitioners through the National Center for Homeopathy Web site (see Resources below).





3


Describe your symptoms in as much detail as possible. Many homeopathic treatments are disease-specific and to boost your immune system in the right way, you'll need to pinpoint the cause of your symptoms.





4


Incorporate homeopathy into your everyday life. Taking immune boosters on a daily basis can help prevent disease and keep you healthier longer.





5


Enjoy better health and the increased longevity you get from homeopathic treatment. Make sure you visit your homeopathic practitioner regularly to evaluate the ongoing success of your treatment plan.








Tips & Warnings










Ordering homeopathic medicines online is often a more affordable alternative to purchasing them at your local drugstore or health food store. These treatments are, in general, inexpensive to moderately priced.








Keep a supply of immune-system boosters on hand instead of waiting to get sick. The old saying is true--an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.








Though millions of people swear by them and use them every day, the effectiveness of homeopathic, herbal immune-system boosters is not evaluated by the FDA in the United States. If you experience severe symptoms such as an ongoing fever, dizziness or difficulty breathing, you should go to a hospital emergency room or see your doctor immediately.








Before you start any alternative medical technique, be aware that many have not been scientifically evaluated. Often, only limited information is available about their safety and effectiveness. Each state and each discipline has its own rules about how alternative medicine practitioners can be professionally licensed. If you decide to visit one, choose one licensed by a recognized national organization. Consult your primary healthcare provider about your decision first.

How to Use Homeopathy During Pregnancy

How to Use Homeopathy During Pregnancy



In conventional medicine, a vaccine is a very weak strain of a disease injected into the patient's body to cause the body to produce antibodies to fight that disease. Homeopathy operates similarly, but it is far more gentle because it uses only natural substances to stimulate the body. Very weak, diluted ingredients are introduced to the body that cause it to begin its immune response to a wide range of ailments. Homeopathy can treat a range of ailments from morning sickness to swollen ankles.







Things You'll Need:





Regular check-ups with your doctor to monitor your baby's health during the course of pregnancy




Computer with Internet access to order homeopathic medicines at discount prices from online retailers







How to Use Homeopathy During Pregnancy




1


Do your homework. Visit respected, reputable online sources for information regarding
pregnancy
and homeopathy to learn what to expect over the coming months. Two good places to start are the National Center for Homeopathy and the Society for Homeopaths (see Resources below).





2


Make an appointment with a local homeopath (located through the National Center for Homeopathy Web site). Tell your professional homeopath exactly how you feel, including symptoms that are more emotional than physical. Medicinal-use homeopathic products can treat physical symptoms as well as emotional and psychological symptoms associated with pregnancy.





3


Follow the treatment plan prescribed by your homeopath. Don't worry about potential side effects for yourself or your baby--homeopathy does nothing more than stimulate your body's own defenses and healing powers. If you have questions about how to use a particular medicine, ask your practitioner.





4


Enjoy the sensations of well-being you experience as harmony is restored to your body, as well as the peace of mind you acquire knowing that what you're doing makes you feel better without adverse consequences to your child.








Tips & Warnings










Homeopathy can be used to treat a surprisingly wide array of pregnancy-related conditions. Because homeopathic treatments do not contain toxins that can damage the liver or kidneys, they are equally safe for the mother and developing fetus.








Use the Internet to find a homeopathic expecting mothers group in your city where you can share experiences and form friendships with like-minded people.








While homeopathy is a natural, non-toxic treatment option with few or no side effects, you must never take chances with your baby's health. Consult a licensed physician or an emergency room physician right away if you experience severe cramping or bleeding.








Before you start any alternative medical technique, be aware that many have not been scientifically evaluated. Often, only limited information is available about their safety and effectiveness. Each state and each discipline has its own rules about how alternative medicine practitioners can be professionally licensed. If you decide to visit one, choose one licensed by a recognized national organization. Consult your primary healthcare provider about your decision first.

How to Use Energy Healing to Deal With Life Changes

How to Use Energy Healing to Deal With Life Changes



Energy healing facilitates the free flow of energy through the body for healing and balancing. This alternative healing medicine can be used to deal with diseases from bone disorders to emotional problems. It also helps patients deal with changes in their lives. Examples of energy healing systems include Reiki, Quantum Touch, Pranic Healing and Chios Energy Healing.







Understand Your Energy Field




1


Know that, according to the principles of Quantum Physics, everything, including human beings, consists of energy.





2


Understand that you are surrounded by an energy field. Your energy field is made up of an aura and a system of 7 spinning wheels called chakras.





3


Be aware that your energy field is connected to the organs of your physical body and is responsible for your general good health.



Learn How Life Changes Affect You




1


Be aware that stress due to life changes is stored as blocks in the energy field.





2


Know that energy blocks prevent the free flow of energy through the energy field. This leads to a depletion of the body's energy, making it more susceptible to disease.



Use Energy Healing to Deal With Life Changes




1


Search for an energy healer. If you are unable to obtain a personal referral then consider searching on the Internet or in the Yellow pages. The Quantum Touch Web site provides a list of certified practitioners (see Resources below).





2


Schedule an appointment with an energy healer. The cost will vary depending on the practitioner and the length of the session.





3


Discuss the changes in your life with your healer so she knows how best to help you.





4


Be open and receptive to healing during the treatment session. Have no doubts or resistance. Energy healing is only as effective as the patient is willing.





5


Try not to form any ideas of what you should feel during the treatment in order to avoid disappointment. Each person experiences different things.





6


Focus on wellness and consider having energy healing sessions regularly. Alternative healing forms also aim to maintain the good health of the patient.








Tips & Warnings










Alternative medicine practitioners receive certifications in the healing forms they use. Make sure that your energy healing practitioner is certified.








Go to an emergency room or call 911 if you experience health problems such as chest pains, bleeding, anaphylaxis or drug overdose, to name a few.








Before you start any alternative medical technique, be aware that many have not been scientifically evaluated. Often, only limited information is available about their safety and effectiveness. Each state and each discipline has its own rules about how alternative medicine practitioners can be professionally licensed. If you decide to visit one, choose one licensed by a recognized national organization. Consult your primary healthcare provider about your decision first.

How to Use Energy Healing to Deal With Emotional Trauma

How to Use Energy Healing to Deal With Emotional Trauma



Energy healing is an alternative medicine. Unlike orthodox medicine, it focuses on healing the energy field around the body instead of the body. There are many energy healing systems. They are used to deal with anything from back pain to nervous disorders. Emotional Freedom Technique, EFT, appears to be the most effective for patients with emotional trauma.







Understand Energy Healing With EFT




1


Learn about energy. According to the principles of Quantum physics, everything that exists is made up of energy. Every individual is made up of energy particles and carries a field of energy around them.





2


Know that the field of energy around a body stores emotions from past events, including emotions from traumatic situations.





3


Discover EFT. Emotional Freedom Technique is recommended for patients suffering from emotional distress, including the effects of past trauma.





4


Know that the EFT process is a bit different from other energy healing modalities. It involves the practitioner tapping on certain points of the patient's body while saying or thinking of healing phrases.





5


Be aware that the speed and success of treatment depends on the healer finding the right phrase to deal with the problem event while tapping on the specific points.



Use EFT to Heal Emotional Trauma




1


Find an energy healing practitioner who performs EFT treatments. Check for certified practitioners at the World Center for EFT's Web site (see Resources below).





2


Call the EFT practitioner to schedule an appointment. Use the opportunity to ask any pertinent questions you may have, including questions about the length and cost of treatment. The cost of treatment is usually moderate in the beginning, but increases with the length of the session.





3


Discuss your reasons for seeking treatment at your appointment so the practitioner can best judge how to proceed. Know that some practitioners may suggest a minimum number of sessions depending on the issue you need to address.





4


Describe the level of intensity of your issues on a scale of 0 to 10 when asked, with 10 being the highest level. The practitioner will ask this question while tapping various points on your body. This will continue until the level of intensity reduces to 0. As he works, the practitioner will also show you how to perform EFT so that you can continue the treatment at home until the next session.





5


Learn how to practice EFT. Read a manual on EFT at the Mercola Web site (see Resources below).








Tips & Warnings










Alternative healing practitioners try to work with orthodox medicine. Relay any health concerns your practitioner may have about you to your doctor for further examination.








Seek emergency help if you deal with severe health issues, especially in cases of chest pains, stroke, panic attacks, uncontrolled bleeding and burns. Go to an emergency room or call 911.








Before you start any alternative medical technique, be aware that many have not been scientifically evaluated. Often, only limited information is available about their safety and effectiveness. Each state and each discipline has its own rules about how alternative medicine practitioners can be professionally licensed. If you decide to visit one, choose one licensed by a recognized national organization. Consult your primary healthcare provider about your decision first. Keep your doctor informed about the alternative medical technique you undertake.
