It is with great pleasure I have permission to share a statement of a believer in Metaphysical Healing methodologies and protocol.

“We go to a medical doctor because of a symptom and often receive what we have asked for…a way to get rid of the symptom. This type of ‘healing’ is superficial. The cause of the symptom is not gone, and it is only a matter of time before the symptoms reappear. A medical doctor can measure results on the basis of whether the symptom has temporarily disappeared or not. A metaphysical healer is looking to the root of the problem…the energy of the problem within your system. In order to ‘heal’ this deep, the client MUST be actively involved in the healing process. Metaphysical healers bring focus on the root cause of the problem - although identification of the problem is not all that is needed to find healing, it helps and is the first step! It is then together that the client and the healer can investigate the root problem (through whatever means you are most comfortable with…could be regression, could be soul work, could be an intensive healing retreat etc.). This step can be done alone though, without a healer if you have some knowledge of the steps required of you…this is the part where a healer (if you choose to use one) can only guide you through the process. You are really the one doing the healing.

You may argue at this point that you don’t really NEED the healer then - and in part you would be right! The healer is there to help YOU to see the root problem, if you are not able to see it for yourself….” Linda

When observing the state of Western Medicine and the unprecedented influence of pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, an interesting paradox arises. The drug companies claim that pharmaceuticals and OTC can do wonders for people: lower cholesterol, end clinical depression, reverse osteoporosis, eliminate allergies, cure cancer, cure MS, calm children and many other similar promises.

If prescription or OTC drugs are so good for people, where are all the healthy medicated customers? The truth is, there aren’t, any. There is nobody taking twelve prescriptions or OTC drugs with a clean bill of health. In fact, the more prescriptions a person takes, the worse their overall health. And if you approach the healthiest people you can find and ask what prescription drugs or OTC drugs they are taking in order to be so healthy, they give you a confused look: Healthy people do not take prescription or OTC drugs!

This sort of language is not uncommon from researchers in Western Medicine. They perceive the human body as a battleground on which wars are waged against invaders (viruses, bacterial infections and tumors). Beginning with the Victorian era, Western society has become addicted to quick fixes and results with no effort. Western Medicine has in some instances provided this result. When Western Medicine does not produce a ‘quick fix’ result the answer is: “Sorry, it couldn’t be helped—the surgery was a success, the patient died.” It is interesting to note the AMA reports a dismal success rate—approximately 250,000 people die each year due to misdiagnosis and/or the treatment does little or nothing to improve the person’s health. In other words these people did not die due to an illness they died due to the wrong treatment.

Western Medicine’s theory and doctrines fail to recognize that diseases are not separate from the person. In fact every disease can be more accurately called an expression of the patient’s lifestyle, beliefs, and energies. Cancer is not a tumor, for example: it is a systemic disorder that can only truly be cured by helping to support the body, not by attacking it with chemical bombs or knives. The tumor is merely one physical expression of the systemic disorder, and simply removing the tumor does nothing to cure the disease.

The body is designed to heal itself provided it has the proper support to do its job—nutrition, herbal and mineral supplements, spiritual and emotional well-being and peace of mind. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is based on a concept of balanced qi (pronounced “chee”), or vital energy, that is believed to flow throughout the body. Qi is proposed to regulate a person’s spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical balance and to be influenced by the opposing forces of yin (negative energy) and yang (positive energy). Disease is proposed to result from the flow of qi being disrupted and yin and yang becoming imbalanced. Among the components of TCM are herbal and nutritional therapy, restorative physical exercises, meditation, acupuncture, and remedial massage.

Holistic, Metaphysical, Energy or Mind, Body, Spirit healing has existed since the beginning of time amid religious beliefs and practices, along with the mystery, superstition, fear, and misunderstanding. Holistic Healing is now becoming recognized regardless of what anyone chooses to believe or think. Ask almost anyone about their spiritual well-being and they will probably tell you, “Yeah, I am a spiritual person, I go to church frequently.” Therein, the confusion arises out of the association of healing with religion. The majority of people, including religious leaders, do not understand the difference.

Neck arthritis can cause pain and affect the ability to turn and use the neck normally. It can be caused by the natural aging process or can be part of a larger arthritis disease called rheumatoid arthritis. A person may at first believe they simply have a stiff neck from sleeping wrong, but soon they will realize the pain and stiffness is not going away and that is when they discover they are suffering from neck arthritis. It is important at this point to seek a doctor’s advice on how to deal with the neck arthritis.

Any type of arthritis can severely affect a person. Arthritis is when joint and bones have swelling and cause movement to be impaired. Arthritis is most often associated with aging and usually occurs in older adults. This is because it takes time for the arthritis to settle into joints and bones. However, most arthritis is treatable and can be managed through a doctor’s care.

If the neck arthritis is caused by a degenerative, age-related, condition then the symptoms may not be noticed early. In fact, the symptoms of degenerative neck arthritis can be seen on an x-ray long before they are felt by the person. However, in general the symptoms of neck arthritis include pain, stiffness, problems moving the neck and pain going into the head and shoulders. Symptoms can also include pain in the arms, problems with arm movement, weakness in arms or legs, clumsiness and headaches.

The treatments for neck arthritis vary. Treatment may be restricting the neck movement through the wearing of a brace. Using heat or massage therapy is another option. Typically, pain relief medications are used. Certain exercises may also help. The treatment is usually related to how sever the pain is and how severely effected the person is by the neck arthritis.

Neck arthritis is something that you will likely have to live with. It is hard to prevent, but thankfully there are many treatment options to help with the pain and discomfort you are feeling. Neck arthritis is a very globally condition, meaning that it can affect more then just your neck.

Getting treatment is important to being able to fully function and not suffering from side effects of the arthritis. It is possible to live a normal life with neck arthritis, but it all depends on your ability to handle the condition and your mindset in dealing with it.

Like most men, I was skeptical of even the though of trying out yoga, thinking it was something that would be most likely painful, and a little out of the testoserone element. Also like most men, I experience back pain from time to time, in my case thanks to protruding L4 and and L5 discs stemming from a car accident years ago. As time goes on, and your family pulls you home, getting to the gym can be hard. Home equipment isn’t necessarily practical or cost effective, so what can a man do?

Former professional wrestler Diamond Dallas Page is the man behind the concept. Wrestling fans may remember the performer as a former champion in the now-defunct World Championship Wrestling, and who later wrestled in World Wrestling Entertainment, in addition to writing his biography and branching out into acting. He is a man who started wrestling later in life at age 35, so Page was always looking for help to keep himself in the best physical condition compared to his younger colleagues. A couple of years ago, his wife suggested yoga to help him deal with the harsh pain of Page’s profession.

Now that Page is retired, he has devoted his full time to developing this concept, starting with the book, which is available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and other booksellers. The book is easy to follow, with 20, 30 and 40 minute routines. The text will tell you how to breathe (and it is important) and the pictures are numbered for the correct sequence. Page has put in people with all kinds of bodies, young and old, but also some eye candy for the men. Yoga For Regular Guys has a forward from Rob Zombie, and some chapters devoted to nutrition and holistic health with massage therapy an chiropractic care. After running through the 20 minute program, I can say I was sweating like a stuck pig at a luau, which was surprising. Normally for that kind of sweat I would have to hit an elliptical machine or treadmill for an hour.

After viewing Page’s website, Diamond Dallas Page.com, my main critical point is that I think he could expand on the case studies that are listed on his site. People who have tried the program have listed why they have turned to yoga, and have listed their success with how many pounds they have lost, inches lost, and other body measurements like blood pressure and body fat, complete with photographs on the website, but not so much in the book. I like to read these stories, and hope that I can count myself among success stories 3 months down the road. The nutritional information is helpful, but I have a hard time seeing most people down carrot juice on a regular basis. Perhaps some nutritional information for people who do not want to hit the extreme end of the nutrition bandwagon?

Overall, this book is excellent, and a good way for people to exercise if they are limited by traditional weight training and aerobics. You feel refreshed and that you have accomplished something at the end of a 20 minute session. Check it out today.

About 6000 years ago in the land of Egypt, aromatherapy was exclusively used and recommended by the Egyptian doctors as a combination of massage and essential oils. That combination helped relieve burn-outs, stress, depression, aches, pain, and so on. As time goes by, massage therapy broke away from essential oils. Presently, essential oils now known as aromatherapy products now work as stand alone products. As it is presently, this combination is being recommended as the best solution for a healthier body and mind. That brings us to a vital question, can essential oils actually fight diseases to heal the mind and body as stand alone aromatherapy products?

Aromatherapy oils are volatile oils used for flavourings and as perfumes and are extracted from living plants. Fixed oils are different because they are not volatile and fatty in nature. That being the case, how can one tell if aromatherapy essential oils can work alone when compared to the massaging therapy. It is a known thing that aromatherapy oils work in conjunction with massage to bring about a healing of the body and mind. But some are concerned that as a stand alone products that aromatherapy oils may not be able to heal without the massaging therapy. Well that is a good question and i will like to answer it. Let’s us get a proper definition or meaning for these two therapies namely; aromatherapy oils and massaging.

Massage therapy: This is the gradual rubbing of the whole body, paying attention to special areas like pressure joints, thus releasing muscle tension that has developed along the stomach line, shoulder, hips etc. When this is done with essential oils, a healing effect is achieved which relaxes the mind and body using the natural scents radiated by these essential oils.

Aromatherapy essential oils: Ordinarily as stand alone oils, they have natural scents that engulfs the atmosphere surrounding where it is opened. It is a known fact that these oils preserve their natural scents because they are extracted from living plants. If an oil has a natural scent and fragrances preserved, i see no reason why its smell should not relax the mind and body. But to further clear that, what are essential oils claimed to heal? Let us consider the answers as to why these oils can still function as stand alones. We will consider just two aromatherapy essential oils.

Frankincense is an essential oil used as incense for burning to produce a sweet smell usually used in perfumes. One of its main healing functions is that it serves as an antiseptic. Since it is a natural antiseptic and very pure and undiluted, don’t you think that if the smell can be inhaled via its scent into the lungs and body, that it can have a healing effect on anyone who inhales it? The scent can remove toxic, diuretic, and help in sedating one.

Another essential oils is Fir needle. Merchants have it that this oil can can aid in healing bronchitis symptoms, muscle aches, rheumatism, coughing, sinusitis, colds, and so on. As the frankincense too, this one has an antiseptic characteristics and this can be inhaled when the oil is opened. Now do you think you will receive any form of healing if you inhale this antiseptic from the air. The answer is an obvious yes answer. This is true if you are breathing pure and undiluted antiseptic directly from the air.

Aromatherapy oils when combined with massaging therapy can result to a wonderful healing of the body and soul, this i want to recommend. Moreover, it seems that essential oils of aromatherapy can equally function very well without the combination by just inhaling it.
