10/24/08: Why Energywork Anyway? If you have ever given a bodywork treatment, you probably have noticed that people release far more than tension. You may have felt waves of energy, or have felt fatigue, heaviness or darkness while a person was letting go during a massage. This is because your client was releasing energetic blockages or excesses, or they may have been pulling in energy to balance out their deficiencies. If you have ever felt like someone gave you "bad vibes," what actually happened was that they were manifesting lower-vibrational energies in their energetic system, and your energetic system resonated with theirs.
The reason why we teach energywork in our school is so that our students will be prepared to clear and balance their own energy as well as to facilitate healing for their clients. This takes massage to the next level because we are not only helping people on the physical level, but also helping them on the emotional, physical and spiritual levels. Understanding and practicing energywork also makes you a more effective therapist--it is quite amazing how powerful energywork is and the results you can achieve with it.
This may also lengthen your career because it will require less effort to obtain greater results . This is because energywork can also cause muscles to relax more quickly by stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system, and creating a relaxation response.
If you would like more information on energywork, we will be happy to discuss it with you. Hundreds of our students have discovered the benefits of energywork along with practicing massage.
10/13/08: Making Your Dreams Happen Despite Adversity: So you know that you need to make a change. You want to pursue a career that feeds your dream. You're tired of the same job that doesn't feed your spirit. You are thinking about going to school with us, but you don't know how to make it happen.
Give us a call! Don't miss out on the opportunity to go a school like this one because you are afraid! We know that it can be scary to make the changes you will need to in order to be a holistic health care practitioner in massage, energywork, Reiki or Reflexology. We know it can be tough to change your life, your schedule and to finance your education. We are willing to work with you to find solutions, but you have to call us first! When we set out to create this school in the year 2000, it took us over 4 years of hard work, vision and gritting our teeth in order to create a unique school like this one, so we know it can be hard to change. But we did it, and we have been serving the educational needs of our students and graduates for 5 years. In order to see the possibilities for yourself, you have to open up to new ways of doing things and to thinking about yourself in a different way. Give us a call--we can help! 949-574-9480.
10/9/08: Creating Space to Change Your Life! Sometimes if you want to change your life, you have to make room to do it! It is important to step in your power and give permission for changes to occur. We receive calls from people who are in transition, who live far away, who have busy lives with children and work. They want to go to school, but they feel challenged when it comes to creating space to transform their lives. Going to CAHA is a life-altering experience on many levels; professionally, personally, and spiritually. Our suggestion: rather than approaching changes in your life by being uncomfortable with change, instead, assess what would need to happen in order for you to flow into a different life. Do you need to get a different job? Do you need to ask people to help with child care? How will you manifest the money to pay for your education? (Give us a call to discuss payment plans.) Schedule time in your life to attend class, give treatments to your family and friends, and do your homework.
Do what you need to do, and then take a leap of faith. If you feel "lit up" about helping people, giving massage or energywork treatments, then the likelihood is high that you belong in a school like ours. Do what you need to do to give yourself the opportunity to get the training you need. Remember that it is also your way to help the world. Our graduates help thousands and sometimes, tens of thousands of people during the course of their careers. If that possibility excites you, step into the void and allow your life to transform!
8/30/08: Integrity. This is a cornerstone of our profession, and it means so many things to different people. To some, integrity means honoring the ethical codes and scope of practice of our profession. To others, it means showing up on time and doing what you say you will do. To others still, it means following your heart and having a career that is meaningful to you. To me, it means all of these things. What does integrity mean to you?
8/26/08 Blog: SB 731 has finally become law! In about a year, Massage Therapists will be able to voluntarily receive certification on a state-wide level. This is a first for California, and a welcome change. Thousands of people have spent many hours dedicated to this cause. This will enable us to work any where in the state. There will be a lot of changes coming up--check back for more details.
