Chakra means Wheel in Sanskrit.
Consciousness and energy move from one
frequency to another in spiraling fashion.
The body has energy centers that look like
spinning wheels and are called Chakras.
They allow energy to flow from
one part of the body to another.
As with all things in our reality,
they are linked to sound, light and color.
To heal, is to bring the chakras into alignment and balance
then understand the nature of creation and your purpose in it.
It's all in motion in the alchemy of time.

Series Summary Massage therapy is a practice with a multiplicity of benefits. Whether it’s a quick rubdown or a full-body treatment, the human touch has practical applications for promoting both physical and emotional well-being. The basic idea behind massage is the use of motion, pressure, tension, and vibration on certain areas of the body, localized around muscles or joints in pain or under stress. This allows a release of tension and a return to a homeostatic condition. Therefore, massage is very important for general stress relief, pain management, encouraging physical and emotional healing, or improving circulation.

Foreword
Two decades ago, Delores Kreiger introduced the concept of
Therapeutic Touch, which has been most widely used by nurses.
Just as there are many roads to Rome, there are certainly many
techniques for "healing."
To me, all of these are part of a universal concept that I call
"sacred healing."
I have personally met and have been trained by Richard Gordon
in his healing modality,
Quantum-Touch. Many of my staff also were trained and we
were able to demonstrate that Quantum-Touch, even without
touching the patient (!), is capable of changing the
electroencephalogram.
Symptomatic relief was obtained in a number of our chronic
pain patients.
Rapid relief of pain and resolution of healing after surgical
removal of wisdom teeth was noted in one young lady.
Sally Hammond in her book, We are All Healers,
over 25 years ago emphasized the potential healing ability of
every human being.
Quantum-Touch appears to be the first technique that may
truly allow us all to become healers.

Introduction
Quantum-Touch is a method of hands-on healing that literally must be seen to be believed. Employing only a very light touch
on yourself or others, you can profoundly accelerate the body's
own healing response.
The effect is so immediate and extraordinary, you can actually
see bones in the body spontaneously realigning themselves
with only a light touch.
" Since the body decides where to place these bones, you need never worry about doing it right. Beyond structural realignment, pain and inflammation are quickly reduced, while organs, systems, and glands become balanced."
To empower yourself to use Quantum-Touch, you simply need to learn various breathing techniques, body awareness meditations, and hand positions.
Those who apply the principles and techniques of this book can become highly capable practitioners in but a single day.
This is because the ability to heal is an inherent part of people's essential nature.
Just as new cars coming off the assembly line are all equipped
with a steering wheel, windows, and doors, the ability to help
heal each other is automatically built into the system.
As surely as children are endowed with the ability to walk,
learn language, laugh, cry, and love, we all have the ability
to be healing practitioners.
"Once you have learned Quantum-Touch, you can never forget how to do it. "
The process is very much like learning to ride a bicycle.
Before you begin, the idea of sitting upright on two skinny wheels
would probably seem quite impossible.
"When you first start to stay upright, it seems like a miracle, but after some time, it becomes completely natural and
expected. "
When you first observe the results of using Quantum-Touch, the experience will often be surprising and unforgettable..
Like riding a bicycle, what had appeared miraculous will in
time become natural and even expected.
Beyond this, there is an immense joy and satisfaction in knowing
that you can assist others in their healing process.
One small note of caution: I believe that this joy is contagious..
Deepak Chopra wrote, "To promote the healing response, you must get past all the
grosser levels of the body —cells, tissues, organs, and systems —and arrive at a junction between mind and matter, the point where consciousness actually starts to have an effect."
I believe there is such a point where consciousness and matter
intersect, that this junction exists on a quantum (subatomic) level,
and that this extraordinary connection between mind and matter
is accessible to us through our love and intent.
By harnessing the innate power of our love, we can dynamically
and positively activate the body's own healing process.
From the DNA to the bones, all cells and systems effortlessly
respond to the healing vibration of your love.
The following are some interesting things I want you to know about Quantum-Touch:
Practitioners from each hands-on healing modality who have
studied Quantum-Touch in the United States, Canada,
and Europe have told me that it significantly increased the
power or effectiveness of their healing practice.
Chiropractors think of it as an advanced form of chiropractic.
Physical therapists think of it as a more effective form of physical
therapy.
Similarly, acupuncturists have told me that it works like an
advanced form of acupuncture.
Reiki masters call it "Reiki empowerment" or
"turbocharging the Reiki."
Quantum-Touch combines seamlessly with numerous other
techniques to enhance their effectiveness: massage, shiatsu,
jin shin do, acupressure, polarity, cranial sacral,
therapeutic touch, healing touch, and so on.
Quantum-Touch is a wonderful stand-alone therapy for people with no previous training.
This may well be the easiest healing technique that there is to learn.
Nearly everyone can learn to do extraordinary healing work after
two days of training.
It is so easy, you can easily learn from this book.
Children can usually learn to do this work almost immediately.
Quantum-Touch will empower people to relieve a tremendous
amount of pain and suffering of friends and loved ones.
It is truly one of the essential life skills we should all
know.
On a purely selfish and personal level, I wish to live in a world
where healing is considered real, where healing is universally
practiced, and where humanity's kind and generous good nature
can be readily expressed.
For these and numerous other heartfelt desires, I invite you to
join me on a wondrous journey of discovery — the discovery of
Quantum-Touch.
"It's not important that you know everything -just the
important things."
Acupressure is a form of Chinese medicine, it uses the fingers to press key acupressure points on the surface of the skin to stimulate the body's natural self healing abilities. Acupressure is applied with pressure from the hands and fingers to the acupuncture points without needles. The Chinese have been using acupressure for over 5,000 years.
How does Acupressure work ?
Acupressure point are places on the skin that are especially sensitive to bio-electrical impulses in the body. Chinese cultures believe the points to be junctures of meridian pathways that carry energy called chi the Japanese call it ki. Western scientists have also mapped out and proven the existence of these points using electrical devices.
These points can be stimulated with pressure, needles, or heat to release endorphins that relive pain, as a result pain is blocked the blood and oxygen flow is increased causing muscles to relax and healing to accelerate.
Types of Acupressure
There are many different types of acupressure, and each practitioner may draw from a variety of methods. One of the most popular is shiatsu, a Japanese technique based on ancient Chinese principles. Practitioners of Zen shiatsu use their whole bodies as leverage to apply strong pressure. Barefoot shiatsu practitioners bring the feet into play, as well as the hands, to rub and press acupressure points. In the Chinese acupressure variation known as Tui Na, practitioners use their hands for massage like kneading motions. Reflexology is a type of acupressure that involves pressure points on the feet and sometimes the hands.
Benefits of Acupressure
* Relieving pain
* Balancing the body
* Reduces tension
* Increases circulation
* Relaxing
Many people have reported success using acupressure to relieve pain,
reduce muscle tension, and promote relaxation. A number have found the therapy especially helpful for easing back pain and for certain types of headaches, including migraine.
Post-operative pain and nausea has been found to respond to pressure point massage.
Chronic sinusitis sufferers have also found it useful for easing congestion. Although research results are mixed, acupressure is also commonly used for morning sickness, motion sickness, and other types of nausea.
* Some people find that treatments improve their overall vitality and well-being.
The Acupressure Treatment
During a treatment, which can last anywhere from 15 minutes to nearly an hour depending on the severity of the problem, an acupressure therapist may have you sit or lie on a massage table. Some acupressure therapists will work through clothing; others will ask you to undress (you will be covered with a towel).
The therapist will then locate and work on the specific acu-points that relate to your condition. Pressing a point behind your knee, for example, can help address low back pain. Or pressing a point on the top of the foot may help ease the pain of migraine.
Typically, the therapist will press each point for about three to ten seconds (longer in some cases). The points may be pressed and released repeatedly.
If the problem doesn't respond after about 20 to 30 minutes of treatment, acupressure may not be effective for you on that particular day, or for that particular ailment.
After a treatment, you will probably feel looser and more relaxed. You may experience a slight soreness, but you shouldn't be in pain. Within three to eight visits, you should know whether the treatment is working for your ailment.
Stress management usually requires a series of about six regular (weekly or monthly) treatments.
Manipulations
* Percussion: 1-3finger percussion light medium or strong pressure
* Pressing: this is done with the thumb.
* Pinching: pinching movement used on the hands
* Clapping: striking with the flat of the hand using medium force.
* Knocking: tips of the fingers on loose hand, brought down as strike.
Acupressure
Self Acupressure
Self-acupressure has been performed in Asia for thousands of years.
There are a wide range of books and videotapes on the subject so that people can learn how to self-perform acupressure in the comfort of their own homes.
It is a cost-effective treatment and no special equipment is required, all you need is a finger ! You can use fingertips, knuckles, or thumbs to press you can also buy items that press for you.
It can be performed alone anywhere any time. You doesn't need to practice at a particular time of the day to experience its effects.
Each body and each area of the body requires a different amount of pressure.
If it hurts a lot when you apply pressure on a point, then use lighter pressure. The calves, the face, and genital areas are sensitive. The back, buttocks, and shoulders, especially if the musculature is developed, usually need deeper, firmer pressure
Press for around 1 to 5 minutes on any points you are treating and give an equal time to the same point on each side of the body, as in fact you may experience discomfort on one side when the problem is actually on the other side.
Use moderate pressure don't try to drill a hole in yourself but also just resting a finger on an acu-point won't have much effect.
Caution: As with all the therapies on this website consult your doctor before you administer any treatments. See a qualified acupuncturist first and discuss possible acu-points.

What is Feng Shui? "Feng" = Wind & "Shui" = Water..
In the Chinese language, "Feng" [pronounced fung] means wind & "Shui" [pronounced shway] means water..
Feng Shui, an ancient Chinese art and science, was created over 3,000 years ago.
This complex body of knowledge involves balancing the energies of an environment to cultivate health, wealth, and good fortune for people inhabiting it.
Chinese traditions have always associated gentle wind and clear water with bountiful harvest and good health.
Overtime the idea of "good feng shui" came to represent good fortune and livelihood, whereas "bad feng shui" represented hardship and misfortune.
The main tools used during feng shui analysis are the Compass and the BaGua.
