| WHY MASSAGE? |
| Some people think that massage is a luxury, used only for a treat or a special occasion. Massage is so much more than that. It is one of your keys to good health and wellness.
There are a variety of massage techniques and styles. I was trained in Swedish massage which uses long strokes and deep pressure when needed. Swedish massage is very relaxing. For this month’s newsletter I would like to discuss one aspect of massage and continue with more in the following issues.
Therapeutic massage enhances general health and can be an important component of your health maintenance or wellness program. It keeps the body and mind functioning optimally by promoting well-nourished and healthy skin, improves circulation of blood and lymph, relaxes muscles and improves joint mobility, encourages general relaxation, improves immune system functioning, and improves energy flow.
Getting a massage at least once a month can help address some of these issues as well as having some preventive measures to spot un-noticed conditions. Twice a month is even better, and once a week is the best. Sessions can be tailored to your needs. Also note that massage therapy can be a tax deduction if your physician prescribes it for you. See you at your next appointment, Kathy

| NUTRITIONAL INSURANCE |
| Like most people, I used to take a drug store multivitamin, the occasional health food store supplement, and felt that I was receiving adequate nutrition from my diet. Compared to the diets of most Americans, I probably was doing pretty well. I ate mostly vegetarian, and plenty of soy and fresh vegetables, albeit from the grocery store. When I look back, though, I realize that I still got sick several times a year, needing to take antibiotics and miss days of work.
Today, I can say that I have not had so much as a cold in over a year, and neither has Kathy. Kathy and I take care of ourselves in many ways; we do Reiki, exercise, and meditate, for example. While all of these contribute to our overall health, the factor that has seemed to tip the scale beyond the possibility of illness is taking high quality nutritional supplements. I began taking some of the vitamins when I moved to Hawaii, because my housemate sold them. About a year ago we decided to start our business, and distribute supplements as part of array of tools for wellness. At that time, we started to add extra supplements when we felt under the weather, and added the protein drink to the vitamins.
I had heard of people taking these products claiming to not be sick for years, but I only half believed it would happen to me and Kathy! I am very grateful for these high quality supplements, and the nutritional insurance they have afforded me. Kathy and I are happy to share information with any of you if you are interested in insuring your health too!

| LIZA'S STORY: PART 2 |
| After I met my first Reiki Master, Robin, at a wellness conference, I became her regular client, seeing her for a session every other week. I thought I was seeing her to heal my still lingering back injury, for which I had had back surgery in 1992. Actually, my work with her effected me very deeply in every area of my life.
When I first started seeing her, she told me that I was a “healer”. I was so resistant to this very notion that I made her refer to it as “the H word”. “Liza Liza, you know you are the H word”, she’d say. I also had to ask her not to tell me her impressions as she worked on me since I was so freaked out and skeptical, I thought I would jinx the process!
Finally, I got the courage to ask Robin if we could work on my back injury during a session. I was scared to work on this, because when I had my back injury, I was living in a Third World country with poor medical care, and was very isolated. It was the most emotionally difficult time of my life, and I suffered from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder upon my return to the States.
I was afraid that working on my back problem with Robin would require me to relive the pain and anguish of my experience. To my surprise, that session with Robin was very gentle emotionally, and allowed all of the pain to flow out of me. Even more amazingly, the pain has never returned since that one session.
Thank you, Reiki!
