April Showers Brings May FlowersI know, I know....we already have been getting lots of showers. I'm just trying to speed up the arrival of nice weather so we all can enjoy the beautiful colors of Spring.  I will be conducting two Essential Oil Funshops in April. These classes will be at Dr. Reddin's office from 3:00pm - 5:00pm. Classes (funshops) are free. I ah happy to announce that my format of these classes has changed. I now have a projector that I can connect to my laptop and will be presenting via PowerPoint. The presentations I have put together are AWESOME! You will love them.
4/11/09 This is an encore presentation of how Essential Oils can help you to naturally overcome the debilitations on the body, mind and spirit of depression and anxiety.
4/25/09 A presentation on Essential Oils for a natural solution for stress relief without prescription drugs. Afterwards, there is a blending "funshop". You get to blend your own personal stress relief oil!
Each of us knows someone that is stressed, suffers from depression or is experiencing some form of anxiety. These presentations will help you to help them overcome these health robbing villains and get on the path to restoring well-being. The following link provides a short video to pique your curiosity on the healing powers of essential oils. Please call me or email me to let me know that you are planning on attending the April Funshops as seating is limited. click here to watch the videoYoung Living is sponsoring an event on 4/13/09 at the Embassy Suites downtown Portland (319 SW Pine Street) at 7:00pm. The presentation is on the Everyday Oils Collection. This is free admission. Valuable information about Young Living oils and door prizes. If you are at all interested, curious, or wish to learn more about YLEO, this is the place to be.
 Still have that cold or flu? Is it hanging on, draining your energy? Tired of having to stay in bed when you want to be doing something fun? Would you like to get rid of it fast, without all those over the counter treatments that mask the symptoms instead of dealing with the root of the problem? Raindrop Therapy (RT) may help you overcome the
tiredness, constant fatigue and lack of energy as well as promote the
immune system. Many of the essential oils used in RT are very effective in their ability to destroy invading organisms like viruses and bacteria in our bodies that cause the colds and flus. RT is a powerful and stimulating tool to support the immune, endocrine, and nervous systems. The essential oils used in the Raindrop treatments are anti-microbial, anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-inflammatory (along with many other healthy benefits). I offer RT as an add on to any massage for an additional $15.00. A Full description of my Raindrop Therapy Massage is available on my website. I attended some excellent continued education seminars in Seattle last month. I spent an entire day learning and working on the back and another entire day was spent learning and working on the neck. I gained a renewed confidence in working with issues in the neck and learned some "snazzy" (really smart) techniques on helping my clients with low back issues. Some of the techniques are amazingly non-intrusive and you will be delighted with the results of your increased range of motion and I am sure you will not miss any of the pain that I get rid of for you! I came home enthusiastic and excited to be able to help each of you with your quest to find relief from neck and back pain.  DID YOU KNOW? : I found this article to be alarming and was shocked when I read it, and felt compelled to share it with you in the hopes that together we can get something done about it! The following was taken from an article in Republic Magazine (issue 13) written by April Renee. April is the keynote speaker for VIC (Vaccine Injury Coalition) and former president of TAAP (The Autism Autoimmunity Project): "There are currently 200 new vaccines in the pipeline and many will be mandated. No long-term studies have been, or will be, performed on these vaccines, yet, we are required to inject, sometimes 9 diseases at a time into our babies' underdeveloped immune systems. Parents know their children better than anyone, and we, along with independent researchers are producing the science while they are producing smoke-screens of opinions rather than solid science. One thing we have realized is that this is a serious conflict of interest!!! " Please click on the link provided to read/watch/listen to more information about the disgraceful violations upon our health by our government. Stand up for YOUR rights. Issue #13 includes: The Fluoridation Gamble Fails the Test of Time,
Healthy or Convenient - The Truth About Bottled Water, The Big Pharma
Plague - Malicious Acts and Propaganda, PEOs - Oxegenation - Cancer
Prevention (A Solution You Need to Know), The Right of Universal
Healthcare, Educate Before Your Vaccinate, Home Birth Vs. Hospital, The
Silenced Side of Aspartame, Building Your Own Oasis - Hydroponic
Farming at Home, Codex Alimentarius - Population Control Under the
Guise of Consumer Protection, Common Sense on Hemp, 10 Pillars of
Alternative Cancer Treatments, The Truth About Air Purifiers, How to
Avoid Brands Made with Genetically Modified Organisms (GM0s), Achieving
Optimal Health With Alternative Therapies and more...For more information go to Republic Magazine.Wishing you and all your loved ones continued good health. ~Beau
 I really do like being able to share this with you... Silver Eagle Dollars are
REAL money unlike Federal Reserve Notes (paper currency) and are a store
of value that is not subject to inflation.
In fact, with the ever-increasing inflation and debasement of the paper
currency, precious metals such as gold and silver (real money) are the best way
to accumulate and protect your wealth.
Plus, getting these beautiful silver coins in the mail is just plain
fun! I will continue to send out this monthly promotional featuring the current special I might be offering, letting you know about any new services or products being offered, and making announcements of anything new at White Dragon Therapies. I only send out ONE email (usually on the first of each month) every month. If you do not wish to receive these newsletters, please use the "safe unsubscribe" feature at the bottom of this page. I am paying to use Constant Contact to help me provide and deliver this newsletter to you. Constant Contact is permission only based email. I ask that you please do not click the spam button on your computer to discontinue receiving these newsletters. If I get too many spam notices on my account, Constant Contact will discontinue my membership. I thank you for your co-operation in this matter. |
(keep in mind that a massage therapist
is NOT a physician. I am not qualified to diagnose or prescribe. I am
however able to asses and provide self care suggestions and refer clients to specialists. So, with this
in mind here we go...)
Pathology Insight: Depression, Anxiety
& StressI am not being lazy.... I decided that since I am doing an encore presentation with essential oils on this subject this month, that it would be appropriate to keep this topic from last month just in case you missed it.
Physical pain. Extended and chronic pain can lead to psychological depression. The physical body can only take so much constant pain, regardless of the level of pain. Eventually, it is going to effect the brain (overload on receiving pain signals) and take a toll on the mental capabilities.
Anxiety. A constant strain on the mind (catastrophizing) [yes, that is a word! I found it being used in several other published articles while I was gathering information for this month's transmits pathology column] and transmits to a nervous stress, causing a decrease in the level of health for the physical body, which in turn can throw it back into physical pain and drain the mental and spiritual capacities to deal with anything more.
Stress. Presents in the form of physical, mental or emotional. As humans, it is difficult to separate these 3. We have to treat all forms simultaneously in order to heal the body of this ailment. The body withstands a tremendous amount of abuse on a daily basis. We can't help it...we live in an environment that hits us from all sides. Needless to say, stress, be it from our surroundings at work or home, worry, insomnia, pain, anxiety and stress will most assuredly lead to depression.
There are several types of depression categories. Situational, Family of origin, Moderate, Severe and Chronic. I can not precisely explain what psychotherapy drugs or psychotropic medications are treating, but I can explain how massage therapy could help alleviate the need for these unnatural chemicals to be ingested into the body, causing other physical problems. With depression, the body suffers a structural collapse. The "protect me" mode takes over and the body starts to fold in upon itself. (a perfectly natural response to stress, by the way!) This involves the abdominal muscles contracting, the pulling down of the chest by the tightening of the diaphragmactic arch, the hunching of the shoulders causing a forward rotation and the upper back rolling forward over the heart. (you get the picture of a person curling up into a fetal position) With the upper body in distress, the lower body follows suit and also becomes distorted. In a very short order, the body finds itself in a full blown "I need help now" situation.
Massage Therapy releases the structural collapse associated with depression and brings the body from hopeless and helpless to supported and erect. The sense of support leads to feelings of being stronger and capable of dealing with the issues that brought on the depression. Releasing structural collapse allows the body to energize itself. The body now has the fuel help itself and is capable of stopping the negative signals to the brain. The body is now empowered to take part in life again and assist the mind and spirit to move out of depression.
If you have a pathology topic that you would like me
to comment on, please email me. I would be most happy to write about
what any of you want to know about and how massage therapy may help you. |
