• Craniosacral Therapy:
  
  
  • Craniosacral therapy is a holistic, hands-on technique involving gentle manipulation of the bones of the skull, its underlying membranes, and the nerve endings in the scalp. Release of abnormal pressure in the skull corrects imbalances in the cerebrospinal fluid system and allows the body to better heal itself and maintain health. For adults, Craniosacral therapy can be especially useful in treating problems of the head, such as migraines and sinus problems, as well as injuries to the head, neck, and spine. For children, it is often used after a traumatic delivery to treat chronic ear infections. It can also help with problems of constant crying, colic, and hyperactivity.(Courtesy of Dr. Joseph F.

• Inner Process Bodywork:
  
  
  • Inner Process Bodywork addresses the patterns that you began to develop in your body from childhood, as you learned to cope with the emotional stresses of your environment. Whatever physical, emotional, or spiritual injuries, challenges and triumphs you hold in your history, you also hold in your body. During Inner Process Bodywork, the practitioner works gently with these patterns of tension, holding and moving your body while listening in a reflective way to whatever may come up for you. This process deepens your physical and emotional awareness, enhancing overall well being.
    
    
• Lomilomi Massage:
  
  
  • A traditional massage technique from the islands of Hawaii, Lomi Lomi means "massaging with caring hands." Lomi's energy comes from the use of movement to the client. This movement transfers to the client a spiritual connection much like a wave of the ocean or a tropical breeze, each movement feeding off of the next. The practitioner uses their forearm creating ironing, circling, sawing and soothing massage motions. The ironing is used for warm-up, circle and sawing is used for adhesion breakup and circulatory work. These are all incorporated with acupressure points and range of motion to create an overall balancing massage technique.

• Massage Therapy:
  
  
  • Massage Therapy is the general term used for a wide range of therapeutic approaches with roots in both Eastern and Western cultures. Specific approaches may include Deep Tissue Massage, Swedish Massage, Lomi Lomi, Neuromuscular Release, Medical Massage, Sports Massage, Shiatsu, Myofascial Trigger Point Therapy, and Thai Massage. Most massage modalities employ rubbing, kneading, and stretching techniques designed to stimulate circulation and promote relaxation in the body's muscles and soft tissues.
    
    
• Medical Massage:
  
  
  • Medical Massage is a form of rehabilitative massage therapy, prescribed by a medical doctor or other primary health care provider, that addresses acute and chronic injuries. Different than other forms of massage, Medical Massage employs a goal-oriented, problem-solving approach and involves a longer term collaboration between the client and practitioner. Treatments, usually covered by insurance, may range from a 15 minute sessions to more in-depth 60 minute treatments. This type of massage often employs slower movements and sustained deep pressure designed to work the various layers of muscles and fascia. Due to its rehabilitative nature, Medical Massage is often combined with care provided by medical doctors, osteopaths, chiropractors and physical therapists, orthopedic surgeons and neurologists, naturopaths and podiatrists.
    
    
• Reflexology:
  
  
  • Reflexology is a natural healing art based on the principle that there are reflex points on the feet, outer ears and hands that are actually "reflections" of body parts. Their location and relationships follow a logical anatomical pattern that closely resembles that of the body itself. This ancient healing technique involves a steady pressure on the reflex points, which correspond to areas throughout the body. Reflexology accelerates the body's natural healing abilities and directly acts upon particular organs, glands and body parts through gentle stimulation upon the points or reflexes.

Conventional/Integrative

• Personal Physician:
  
  
  • A Personal Physician is a term for doctors who base their practice on a "concierge" model of care. In this model, patients pay an annual "subscription" fee for health care services. In turn, physicians limit their patient load to allow for more personalized and responsive care that may include a 24-hour on call doctor, immediate or same-day scheduling, longer and more comprehensive appointments, phone and email consultations, wellness planning, and facilitated emergency room or hospital visits. Once affordable only to the affluent, affordable concierge care for the general population is gaining popularity and is now offered in many states across the country.

• Facial Treatments:
  
  
  • Skincare promotes good skin health with treatments proven to cleanse, exfoliate, hydrate, and protect the skin. As the body's largest organ - one that is constantly exposed to harsh weather conditions, the damaging effects of intense sunlight, and pollution - our skin and its health affects our overall physical and emotional well being. As a result of scientific study conducted throughout the world, estheticians are now able to promote clean and healthy skin with many types of therapies including but not limited to facials, microdermabrasion, and light therapy.
    
    
• Microdermabrasion and Light Therapy:
  
  
  • Microdermabrasion is a technique for removing the topmost layer of skin, leaving the face supple and vibrant. As dead skin cells are removed, the the debris is simultaneously vacuumed away. The procedure generally takes 10 - 30 minutes, and is painless. Microdermabrasion can help erase some of the visible signs of aging: fine lines and wrinkles, age spots, minor scars, blemishes and uneven pigmentation. Light Therapy uses infrared and red wavelengths of light to heal skin. This therapy stimulates the skin and underlying tissues to rejunivate themselves during 30 minute sessions. Increasing moisture retention and promoting collagen production, Light Therapy is used to treat blemishes, ages spots, skin redness, fine lines, and enlarged pores.

Holistic Health

• Acupuncture:
  
  
  • In health, energy is balanced and strong. It is only when energy becomes disturbed, depleted or stagnant that various degrees of weakness, discomfort, pain or illness manifest. Disturbances in the bio-energetic field of the body occur in patterns, and are expressed on all levels simultaneously. The ability to recognize these "patterns of disharmony", rather than just isolated problems, is at the core of the practice of acupuncture and energy medicine.
    
    
• Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine:
  
  
  • Acupuncture is based on a bio-energetic model which recognizes the existence of a vital force behind all life processes. With the insertion of fine needles and application of heat (moxibustion) at specific points along the energetic pathways of the body, the skillful acupuncturist seeks to regulate and harmonize the flow of this energy to promote the ability of the whole organism to heal and return to homeostasis.

• Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine:
  
  
  • Acupuncture is one of the oldest and most commonly used medical procedures in the world. According to traditional Chinese medicine, there are more than 2,000 acupuncture points on the human body, all of which connect to energy pathways known as meridians. These meridians conduct energy between the surface of the body and internal organs, regulating and restoring physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health. Western science yields evidence that acupuncture points conduct electromagnetic signals, which start the flow of pain-killing biochemicals and immune response agents where injury or disease is present. Herbal medicine, often combined with acupuncture, employs healing herbs that contain chemical substances beneficial to the body.
    
    
• Bach Flower Essences:
  
  
  • The Bach Flower Essences were discovered in England by Dr. Edward Bach. He studied medicine at the University College Hospital, London, and was a bacteriologist and later a pathologist. He developed a set of homeopathic nosodes still known as the seven Bach nosodes. In 1930 he gave up his lucrative Harley Street practice and left London, determined to devote the rest of his life to the new system of medicine that he was sure could be found in nature. One by one through intuition he found the remedies aimed at a particular mental state or emotion. He found that when he treated the personalities and feelings of his patients their unhappiness and physical distress would be alleviated as the natural healing potential in their bodies was unblocked and allowed to work once more.

• Biocompatible Dentistry and Periodontal Therapy:
  
  
  • Holistic Dentistry is an approach to Dentistry that promotes health and wellness instead of the treatment of disease. This approach to Dentistry encompasses both modern science and knowledge drawn from the world's great traditions on natural healing. It is sometimes called "Biological" dentistry or "Biocompatible" dentistry. Holistic Dentistry acknowledges and deals with the mind, body, and spirit of the patient, not just his or her teeth. The basic principles of dental holistic health practices include: proper nutrition for the prevention and reversal of degenerative dental disease; avoidance and elimination of toxins from dental materials; prevention and treatment of dental malocclusion (bite problems) and prevention and treatment of gum disease at its biological basis.

• Bionic Hydrotherapy and Health Mate Sauna:
  
  
  • Bionic Hydrotherapy and Health Mate Sauna are technologies designed to detoxify the body in gentle, drug-free ways. Bionic Hydrotherapy uses a soothing mineral footbath to rid body of heavy metals, toxins, plaque, cholesterol, blood clots, yeast, lactic acid, uric acid and other impurities. A gentle current stimulates the release of polarized mineral ions and these interact with the body providing extraordinary cellular detoxification in 25 minutes with no ‘healing crisis' or discomfort. The Health Mate Sauna employs a comfortable temperature while generating 2-3 times more sweat than conventional saunas. This technology removes toxins and mineral waste, burns calories, improves skin tone, increases blood circulation, relieves pain and joint stiffness, improves immune system function, and reduces stress and fatigue.
    
    
• Color and Light Therapy:
  
  
  • Color and Light Therapy is a revolution in holistic healing and one of Europe's most popular alternative disciplines. Coming from Ancient times, it has been rediscovered over the past 100 years ago by scientists such as Dr. Edward Babbitt, Dr. Dinshah Ghadiali, and Dr. Peter Mandel. This therapy transmits a tailored regimen of colored light to the body's energy pathways by way of acupuncture and other points on the skin. Based upon the holistic model which emphasizes that an evaluation of any condition or disease must take into account the whole person, Color and Light Therapy addresses physical symptoms by addressing their underlying causes. Other treatments employ color and light in a counseling mode to promote greater self-awareness.
    
    
  • Primary Color and Light Therapy is one of the fastest growing revolutions in holistic healing. The use of Color and Light as a healing modality began to resurface in the medical profession over 100 years ago with the discoveries and practices of Dr. Edward Babbitt and Dr. Dinshah Ghadiali; and more recently in the 1970's with the work of Dr. Peter Mandel's Esogetic Colorpuncture. Esogetic Colorpuncture transmits a tailored regimen of color and light through the acupuncture points and meridians found on the skin. This system is based on the holistic model that emphasizes an evaluation of any condition or disease must take into account the whole person. It addresses physical symptoms as well as their underlying causes. Deep relaxation occurs during most treatments. It also helps connect people with their individual consciousness, potentiality, personal insights and wisdom.

• Energetic Balancing:
  
  
  • Energetic balancing is a form of energy work that seeks to restore balance to the body, mind, spirit and emotions. While it may come under the classification of alternative wellness, it can and does help with every day stress that everyone faces. Some people have compared it to an internal massage that restores peace and relaxation from the inside out. Energy work unlocks and releases energy blocks/imbalances in the system. When you have an energy block in your system, you may feel aches and pains in your muscles and joints, have frequent headaches, feel tired or like you can't cope with the daily pressures of your life. When the blocks/imbalances are corrected, you feel peaceful, capable and energetic. (Courtesy of Sandy Johnson E.W.S., R.M.T. http://pages.ivillage.com/sandy_j2003/id19.html)
    
    
• Energy Emission Analysis:
  
  
  • Kirlian technology was developed in the 1930's by S.D. & V. Kirlian of the Soviet Union as a means to visualize electro-magnetic fields around living things. All of us produce micro pulses of electrical charge every time we move, think or have an emotional response to something. It's a basic rule of physics that every electrical charge produces a corresponding electro-magnetic field. The Energy Emission Analysis (EEA) Camera uses electron cascades to make visible the electro-magnetic fields that surrounds us in a similar way that iron filings can make magnetic fields around magnets visible. Due to the abundance of nerve endings in the fingers and toes, it is possible to get meaningful information about you from an EEA photograph taken of the energy fields around these areas. This information is used to assess your energy field and guide treatment.
    
    
• General Dentistry:
  
  
  • General dentists are the primary dental care providers for patients of all ages. They can treat you and your entire family and care for your overall oral health. Your general dentist takes responsibility for the diagnosis, treatment and overall coordination of services to meet your oral health needs. If you need a specialized dental procedure performed, your general dentist may work with other dentists to make sure you get the care you need. General dentists are highly educated and trained on all dental procedures. Instead of specializing in just one area of dentistry, they can provide plenty of different services for you and your family, such as: Cosmetic procedures, Crowns and bridges, Dental implants, Dentures, Gum disease treatment, Home care instruction, Mouthguards, Nutrition counseling, Oral surgery, Orthodontics, Partial dentures, Restorative care, Root canal therapy, Sealants, Teeth cleanings, Tobacco cessation, and TMD/TMJ therapy.

• Healthy Aging:
  
  
  • According to Dr. Andrew Weil, healthy aging is "having the physical facilities, mental faculties, and energy to do what you want as you move through life." The key to enjoying good health throughout your lifetime is making health and lifestyle choices that will enhance the quality of your later years. These choices often include proper exercise, a good diet, and therapies that cleanse and support the body's many systems. However even the most rigorous choices still leave us open to environmental toxins and stresses as well as our own ‘consciousness issues'. By using the latest technologies, we are able to counteract these situations and actually become younger tomorrow.

  • Holistic Medicine is a system of care that focuses on preventing illness and maintaining health, rather than simply treating the symptoms of disease. Viewing health as a balance of systems (physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual), it employs a wide range of natural therapies to bolster your body's ability to heal itself and maintain equilibrium.
    
    
• Homeopathy:
  
  
  • Homeopathy comes from the Greek word homio, which means "like" or "similar." Developed over 200 years ago by Samuel Hahneman, a German physician, this natural system of healing is based on treating illness with an herbal, mineral, or animal substance that, in a healthy person, produces the same symptoms as those experienced by the unhealthy person seeking treatment. Homeopathy views symptoms as the body's natural reaction in fighting illness and, unlike other modalities, seeks to stimulate them rather than suppress them. Homeopathy is widely practiced throughout Europe (the Physician to the Queen of England, for example, is a Homeopath) as well as India, South America, and Russia.

• Rhumart Cellular Conditioning:
  
  
  • Rhumart Cellular Conditioning addresses chronic health conditions such as arthritis, poor circulation, back pain, and stress by naturally enhancing the nervous system. Using biophysical resonances (a subtle form of vibration) this therapy promotes transmission of the neuro-signals responsible for triggering sensory and motor activities in the body. Because these resonances simulate actual brainwaves, the body responds as if instructed by the brain itself. The end result is greater relaxation, decreased inflammation, normalized blood pressure, and tissue repair.
    
    
• Rife Technology:
  
  
  • Rife Technology was developed in the 1930s by a scientist named Royal Raymond Rife who discovered that every disease has a unique frequency or "signature." Using specific sound and light frequencies to match this signature, Rife Technology is able to eliminate the viruses, parasites, bacteria, and fungus that cause disease in the human body. By selecting exactly the right frequency, Rife machines can disable the particular target organism through vibration. Rapid and completely harmless, Rife technology can be applied to many different illnesses.

• Transformational Breathing:
  
  
  • Transformational Breathing utilizes a specific breathing pattern that revitalizes the physical body and clears repressed emotional energy on a cellular level. The process begins by learning about your own unique breathing pattern and how to release the restrictions to utilize the full respiratory system. Higher frequency energies created by the breath entrains (changes) the lower frequency energy patterns stored in body and subconscious. This process results in more energy, permanent transformation of emotional traumas/denser energies and a heightened sense of self-awareness with enhanced feelings of Self and expansion.

  • Feng Shui, literally translated as "Wind and Water," is an ancient Chinese art and science that balances energy flow in a natural or built environment. Through the proper placement of objects, Chi (the Chinese word for energy) is allowed to flow more harmoniously, attracting greater health and happiness to your life. When surveying your home or office, practitioners use a tool known as a Bagua. A Bagua is an eight-sided Feng Shui "road map" that divides your environment into nine different sections (called guas) that correspond to the nine main areas of your life. Using the information provided by the Bagua, practitioners are able to offer suggestions for correcting negative influences and enhancing the flow of positive energy.
    
    
• Environmental Clearing:
  
  
  • Environmental Clearing is a process of identifying and releasing disturbed patterns of energy in an environment. Disturbances may arise from natural phenomena such as fault lines, underground water systems, or the earth's magnetic field as well as human experiences and technological devices. Recognizing how unhealthy patterns are unintentionally held in place by the attitudes and reactions of an environment's inhabitants, Environmental Clearing practitioners gently and non-judgmentally acknowledge disturbed frequencies, thereby using their own balanced energetic state to create a subtle shift. As a result, the environment becomes open, clear, and able to physically and emotionally support the people who live or work within it.
    
    
• Family Coaching:
  
  
  • Coaching is the truest form of empowerment. A unique and on-going collaboration between coach and client, it inspires you to discover and fulfill your true needs and desires. Just as an athletic coach helps an athelete access her full potential in the swimming pool or on the basketball court, personal and professional coaches help you realize your true possibilities in the larger context of your life. Through tailored discussions, journaling, specialized assignments, and other activities, you become more aware, skilled, and joyful. At its deepest level, coaching leads to a purposeful life where actions flow from innermost values. The ultimate intention is to support you in reaching your full potential in the particular area you choose to address.

  • Feng shui - the ancient Chinese art of placement - is based on a holistic view of the cosmos, in which man can achieve unlimited abundance when living in harmony with nature. Feng shui acknowledges the vital and ever-changing interaction and connection between human beings and their environments, both natural and man-made. It provides us with proven and tested tools and techniques. Principles such as the yin-yang duality and the five transformations form the basis for balancing and harmonizing our environments. When beneficial energy - chi - is captured through the practice of feng shui our life quality is vastly improved in the personal as well as professional realm and new doors and vistas are opened up.

Mind-Body

• Inner Process Bodywork:
  
  
  • Inner Process Bodywork addresses the patterns that you began to develop in your body from childhood, as you learned to cope with the emotional stresses of your environment. Whatever physical, emotional, or spiritual injuries, challenges and triumphs you hold in your history, you also hold in your body. During Inner Process Bodywork, the practitioner works gently with these patterns of tension, holding and moving your body while listening in a reflective way to whatever may come up for you. This process deepens your physical and emotional awareness, enhancing overall well being.
    
    
• The Rubenfeld Synergy Method®:
  
  
  • The Rubenfeld Synergy Method is a holistic therapy that integrates body, mind, spirit, and emotions. Developed by Ilana Rubenfeld in the 1960s, Rubenfeld Synergy uses gentle touch, along with verbal dialogue, active listening, imagery, metaphor, movement and humor to invite the body into the healing process. Using the body as the gateway to awareness, buried feelings and memories can surface, freeing you from old patterns and energy blocks that keep you feeling stuck and unable to live life to its fullest.

Mind/Spirit/Empowerment

• 22-Strand DNA Activation:
  
  
  • 22-Strand DNA Activation is an empowering therapy that activates your divine blue print, which dictates who you are and what you are meant to achieve in life. DNA is the genetic material that influences your physical form, emotional patterns, talents, and more. While the natural human blueprint consists of 24 strands of DNA, most people live with only two activated strands—a condition that results in diminished access to the brain's capacity. By activating your remaining 22 strands, your mental capacity increases and you are allowed to realize greater physical and emotional vitality in your life.

• BETAR^TM Sound Healing:
  
  
  • BETAR™ is a deep relaxation technology that uses sound vibrations to release stress and promote healing at the deepest levels in your body. BETAR™, an acronym for Bio-Energetic Transduction Aided Resonance, employs a therapeutic bed equipped with speakers/transducers that are strategically located to coincide with the major energy centers (also known as chakras or nerve plexuses) in the body. BETAR™ is designed to address the long term storage of information - including stress, negative emotions, and trauma - in the human body. Employing scalar electromagnetics, BETAR™ produces a field of energy around the body that helps your cells release excess stress or energetic imbalances. In combination with specially chosen music, this energy bathes the body's cells and tissues, freeing unhealthy information and allowing it to escape as harmless sound waves.
    
    
• Compassionate Communication:
  
  
  • Compassionate Communication (also known as Nonviolent Communication) is a powerful process for inspiring compassionate connection and action. It provides a framework and set of skills to address a variety of problems, from the most intimate relationships to global political conflicts. Compassionate Communication can help prevent conflicts as well as peacefully resolve them. This process also helps us to focus on the feelings and needs we all have, instead of thinking and speaking in terms of dehumanizing labels or other habitual patterns of communication which are easily heard as demanding and antagonistic. Compassionate Communication empowers people who are in conflict to engage in a creative dialogue that constructs fully satisfactory solutions. (Courtesy of John Chamberlin)
    
    
• Energetic Transformation:
  
  
  • Energetic Transformation is a form of energy work that identifies and clears energy blocks and imbalances in the network of subtle energy fields that make up the human body. This enables you to accelerate the flow of life force energy within and around your body. The increase in vibration allows access to higher levels of wisdom, creates positive shifts in consciousness, enhanced vitality, greater self-awareness, a deep sense of well-being and wholeness, and the confidence to create new possibilities for your life.
    
    
• Energy Healing:
  
  
  • Energy Healing is a general term to describe a broad range of modalities that either awaken the body's own innate healing abilities or draw on a universal life force to resolve imbalances. Techniques that fall into this category may include but are not limited to Acupuncture, Qi Gong, Reflexology, Flower Essences, Reiki, Alchemical Healing, DNA Activation, and Meditation. Energy Healing techniques are appropriate for many types of illnesses, including those with symptoms that present in a physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual form.
    
    
• Hypnotherapy:
  
  
  • Hypnotherapy is a technique that uses hypnosis, a state which allows the subconscious mind to emerge, to provide answers and insights not always available on the conscious level. Hypnosis is a natural altered focused state most often achieved through guided relaxation and visualization techniques. This state of concentrated focus can be similar to daydreaming, being engrossed in a movie or a good book. You are aware of your surroundings, but are choosing not to put your attention there. In hypnosis, your attention is focused inward. All hypnosis is self-hypnosis. A hypnotized person remains in full control of his or her behavior, and usually is able to recall the whole experience. Because the subconscious mind works in a non linear and more free flowing manner, solutions to problems can often be found quickly and empower individuals to develop a more positive attitude in general, enhancing the therapeutic process. Hypnotherapy can be used for releasing emotional blocks, weight release, smoking cessation, insomnia, natural childbirth, stress release, relaxation, chronic pain management, anxiety and panic issues, self-esteem and motivation, athletic performance, creativity enhancement, learning enhancement, pre-and post surgical procedures, and depression.
    
    
• Integrative Energy Work:
  
  
  • Integrative Energy Work is the combination of various non-invasive, energy-based techniques aimed at rebalancing you physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

Integrative Energy Work is often used in combination with other therapies to facilitate the healing process.
    
    
• Ministry:
  
  
  • Rituals and ceremonies are events designed to help us find time and space beyond our day-to-day existence for the purpose of acknowledging and honoring the many transitions in our lives. These sacred events may be designed to clarify our intentions, affirm our commitments, celebrate our joys, or help us grieve our losses.
    
    
• Personal Break-through Program:
  
  
  • The Personal Breakthrough Program helps you break through the blocks to your health, peace of mind, and personal success by fully activating your powerful mind-body-spirit connection. Tools may include Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Hypnotherapy, and Time Line Therapy™.
    
    
• Shamanic Healing:
  
  
  • Shamanism describes a collection of skills that vary wildly from culture to culture but which all have the same motivation - to be useful to the people who practice it and to those who engage the services of a shaman. The practice of shamanism revolves around the spirit world, not as separate from the physical one but as a sister whose lives are inexorably intertwined. The principle shamanic skills involve negotiating with spirits, establishing protection from the spirit world and seeking gifts or information from the spirit world. These skills allow a shaman to heal the sick, communicate with the ancestors, promote good fortune in all aspects of life and maintain a healthy spiritual life for all the members of a community.

• Spiritual Counseling:
  
  
  • From childhood through late adulthood, there are certain times when we may need help addressing problems and issues that cause us emotional distress or make us feel overwhelmed. When you are experiencing these types of difficulties, you may benefit from the assistance of an experienced, trained professional. Professional counselors offer the caring, expert assistance that we often need during these stressful times. A counselor can help you identify your problems and assist you in finding the best ways to cope with the situation by changing behaviors that contribute to the problem or by finding constructive ways to deal with a situation that is beyond your personal control. Professional counselors offer help in addressing many situations that cause emotional stress, including, but not limited to anxiety, depression, family and relationship issues, sexual abuse and domestic violence, substance abuse and other addictions, career changes, and the death of a loved one.

• Active Meditations:
  
  
  • Active meditations use a variety of ancient and modern movements and techniques to release mind/body stress, tension and anxiety. This creates space for relaxation, awareness and silence. While traditional forms of meditation require us to sit in stillness and silence, active meditations begin with a variety of structured and unstructured movements. These techniques are ideal for people who have trouble remaining still. Masters of active meditations explain that tension must be relieved before we can access our inner consciousness. By employing a variety of movements to help us experience repressed feelings and emotions, we learn to understand our habitual patterns in a new way.

• Energetic Balancing:
  
  
  • Energetic balancing is a form of energy work that seeks to restore balance to the body, mind, spirit and emotions. While it may come under the classification of alternative wellness, it can and does help with every day stress that everyone faces. Some people have compared it to an internal massage that restores peace and relaxation from the inside out. Energy work unlocks and releases energy blocks/imbalances in the system. When you have an energy block in your system, you may feel aches and pains in your muscles and joints, have frequent headaches, feel tired or like you can't cope with the daily pressures of your life. When the blocks/imbalances are corrected, you feel peaceful, capable and energetic. (Courtesy of Sandy Johnson E.W.S., R.M.T. http://pages.ivillage.com/sandy_j2003/id19.html

• Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP):
  
  
  • Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a technique that shows people how to change or "repattern" their thoughts, feelings, and actions through the power of the mind. In the areas of medicine and health care, NLP can help people discover the unconscious negative thought patterns they have about their illnesses and help them to change their mental and emotional responses so that they reinforce the positive, healing process. While NLP can be applied to nearly any type of human activity, from business to social relations, some practitioners use it exclusively to enhance the healing process. Based on the theory that the mind and one's beliefs and emotions have a vast power over what goes on in the body, NLP seeks to assist people in changing their beliefs about their illnesses and consequently about their ability to heal.

• Attracting Love with Feng Shui:
  
  
  • Feng Shui, literally translated as "Wind and Water," is an ancient Chinese art and science that balances energy flow in a natural or built environment. Through the proper placement of objects, Chi (the Chinese word for energy) is allowed to flow more harmoniously, attracting greater health and happiness to your life. When surveying your home or office, practitioners use a tool known as a Bagua. A Bagua is an eight-sided Feng Shui "road map" that divides your environment into nine different sections (called guas) that correspond to the nine main areas of your life. Using the information provided by the bagua, practitioners are able to suggest rearrangements and enhancements that correct negative influences and increase the flow of positive energy.
