| Dealing With Problems |
|
 by Brian Dean
I was talking with a friend today, and we were discussing problems. Suddenly, this pops into my head: "How we deal with problems is as important as the problems themselves."
First off, I know that this did not come from me, or from the friend I was talking with. This came directly from spirit. I hustled over to the computer so I could get it down before I forgot it. Somehow, I saw this as a message not only to the both of us talking, but to others as well. So, it is amazingly finding its way into an article. But, back to the issue at hand.

| Help Wanted |
|
Due to personal circumstances, Melissa Speerly has moved back to Illinois and is no longer available to our clients. We wish her well in whatever interests she decides to pursue. Because of this, Caring Palms is currently seeking a nationally certified female licensed massage therapist to work at the studio for those clients that prefer a female therapist. This can be either a full time or part time position. If you know anyone that might be interested, please have them contact Caring Palms either by phone or by e-mail.

| Modality of the Month |

Swedish Massage
Although exotic sounding, Swedish massage is the most common type of massage performed. Developed by Pehr Henrick Ling, who based it on the movements of Swedish gymnasts, it can be a very relaxing session, but can also be therapeutic.
Swedish massage is usually the first style of taught in most schools. It is a great beginning point for students to learn to touch a client, and develop pressures and movements. This is actually the basis for most of what they learn later.

| Thoughts on Distant Attunements |
|
by Brian Dean
Attunements are something given to Reiki practitioners to help them pass on the Reiki energy. Most Reiki masters give their attunements in person. Some give them at the beginning of class, while others give them at the end as some type of graduation. Others give attunements distantly, and this is one of the big controversies about the attunements themselves. Can one be attuned from a distance? What could go wrong, and what could go right?
But first, we need to understand what an attunement is and we'll forgo the joke that says you can tune a piano, but you can't tuna fish. Sorry.
According to most people that teach Reiki (and William Rand's group is no exception), the Reiki teacher gives the student the ability to do Reiki through the attunement. When Rand's people try to put it in scientific terms, they claim that the attuning process changes something in one's DNA which allows that person to accept and pass on Reiki energy. I have always thought that this was just so much felgercarb.

| Caring Palms, Where We Spend the Time You Need |
|
|
Unlike some places that do massage, Caring Palms does not rush you in and out. We take the time to talk with you to see what problems you are having, to see what you are looking for in your massage, and what your expectations are. Then we craft a session to meet your needs using any of the nine different styles we offer including Swedish, Deep Tissue, Hawaiian Lomi Lomi, Myofascial Release, Hot Stone, and Esalen-inspired relaxation massage. We can even integrate parts of many styles into one massage session or add Reiki energy
If you're not sure about massage, we'll even give you a free 15-minute consultation whether you buy a session or not.
At Caring Palms, we care about the client, and we're willing to spend the time with them to make sure we deliver the best session possible. Caring Palms, where a massage is more than just a massage. It's a healing session. |
