Joann Seckus

Many of us are searching for guidance and truth in our lives. Sometimes that reassurance can come from your Guardian Angel or a Friendly Spirit or Relative who has passed on – they just need a source through which they can reach you.

Joann Seckus is a gifted psychic who has helped many clients make a spiritual connection. Using a deck of 36 Angel cards, she can tell you which Angels are working with you as you deal with the hopes and challenges of your life. She is also able to use psychometry (the reading of energy from a personal object) to connect with an Angel, friend or family member who has passed over and has a message they want to convey.

Another of JoAnn’s many spiritual gifts is the ability to read palms, a gift that began at the age of nine when her father presented her with her first palmistry book. Since 1996, JoAnn has conducted many palm-reading classes at various Border’s Books & Music locations throughout Illinois. Since 2004, she has also traveled throughout the country and Europe working with the Maria Shaw’s Conscious Living Fairs. In addition to these activities JoAnn conducts various classes at both Soderworld Healing Center and Spa in Hinsdale Illinois, College of DuPage in Wheaton Illinois, as well as The Balanced Being Wellness Center in Lafayette, La. 

 

The day of the Fair, JoAnn will be doing full ½ hour readings for 40.00 or mini readings for 20.00.  Since there are only 12, ½ hour appoints available you can book ahead by sending an e-mail to joann@joannseckus.com

What to Do When Your Doctor Tells You Your Triglycerides Are Too High

By Shane "The People's Chemist" Ellison, MS

Like most of us these days, Stan has been focusing on work, work, and
more work. Doing so has kept him out of the gym and eating for
convenience rather than health. He's been taking in more calories than
he uses, and now his doctor tells him his triglyceride level is too
high.

A high triglyceride level (usually anything over 200 mg/dL) is simply
the result of an energy imbalance within your body. Rather than fat and
glucose (sugar) being utilized, they float aimlessly in the blood.

Since metabolism likes to be as tidy as possible, it packages unused fat
and sugar into a storage molecule known as a triglyceride. Once merged,
triglycerides are then stuffed into your belly, your muscles, or even
your liver.

With high triglycerides, Stan risks obesity, Type II diabetes, and heart
disease. In one fell swoop, his doctor prescribed a round of
cholesterol-lowering drugs, anti-diabetic meds, and, for safe measure,
blood pressure drugs.

Since Stan reads the headlines while sipping his sugary cup of joe, he
knows these drugs aren't his best option. Instead, he chose to follow my
natural recommendations.

The natural enemy of triglycerides is a hormone known as glucagon. High
triglyceride levels are usually accompanied by high insulin. Insulin
stores fat while smothering glucagon production. Bring it back to the
surface, and glucagon will smash triglycerides, as well as all the
medical complications that accompany them.

How do you do it?

First, space your meals out by five hours. This will help insulin simmer
down and cause your body to produce glucagon. Make sure you are
consuming mostly healthy fats from seeds and nuts
<http://clicks.earlytorise.com//t/AQ/FrA/GiM/FNs/AQ/AnAztA/Gqtb> ,
grass-fed beef, real butter, cod liver oil, and avocados
<http://clicks.earlytorise.com//t/AQ/FrA/GiM/KA8/AQ/AnAztA/Za57> .

Second, start supplementing with a teaspoon of psyllium husk and about
300mg of alpha-lipoic acid
<http://clicks.earlytorise.com//t/AQ/FrA/GiM/KBA/AQ/AnAztA/IhLS>
<http://clicks.earlytorise.com//t/AQ/FrA/GiM/KBA/Ag/AnAztA/fewP> daily.
This will slow the absorption of calories and speed up sugar metabolism,
reversing your body's energy imbalance.

Finally, start exercising.

Reiki (pronounced Ray Key) is a combination of two Japanese words rei and ki meaning universal life energy. Reiki is an ancient laying-on of hands healing technique that uses the life force energy to heal, balancing the subtle energies within our bodies. Reiki addresses physical, emotional, mental and spiritual imbalances. This healing art is an effective delivery system. The Reiki practitioner serves as a vessel that supplies healing energies where they are most needed. Reiki's ki-energies flow out of the practitioner's body through the palms of the hands while they are touching the recipient's body.

What to Expect During a Reiki Treatment

You will be asked to lay down on a massage table, couch, or bed. You will be fully clothed except for your shoes. You may also be asked to remove or loosen your belt so that your breathing is not restricted in any way. It is best to choose loose-fitting garments to wear on the day of your appointment. Wearing natural fabrics is best (cotton, wool, or linen). You may also be asked to remove any jewelry (rings, bracelets, pendants, etc.) prior to the session, so consider leaving these items at home.

Relaxing Atmosphere

Reiki practitioners will often create a relaxing atmosphere for their Reiki sessions, setting the mood with the use of dimmed lights, meditative music, or bubbling water fountains. Some practitioners prefer to be in a place that is completely silent, without distraction of music of any kind, to conduct their Reiki sessions in.

What is the Muscle Release Technique^SM?

The Muscle Release Technique^SM is a unique injury therapy that combines compression, extension, movement, and breath to give the therapist a tool to provide, in many cases, relief from pain in one treatment. With the Muscle Release Technique^SM scar tissue is broken up, the muscle is lengthened, muscle memory is restored and relief from pain starts immediately.

There seems to be a 'mind set', a trained way of looking at any injury, that can be very self limiting. There is an attitude, when looking at some injuries, that it's just impossible. I believe, with all my heart, that the answer for millions of chronic pain sufferers, rests in the knowledgeable and capable hands of massage therapists in this country.

That is the reason I say the Muscle Release Technique^SM is MORE THAN MASSAGE! It is the answer to get people out of pain.

All massage therapists and physical therapists know that when there is an injury to the muscle, scar tissue is the result. Scar tissue will keep the muscle inflexible, thus the muscle length is shortened. After a period of time, the muscle memory is lost and the chance of re-injury is increased. Nerve impingement is almost always associated with this condition, resulting in PAIN! Cross fiber work and/or deep tissue massage will only give the client temporary relief.

With the Muscle Release Technique^SM, the client is placed in particular positions so that the muscle begins to stretch in a very specific direction of plane. Then pressure is applied directly into the focal point of the affected tissue. The combination of a specific extension, precise pinpoint compression, and an exact plane of movement, while working with the breath, can produce an immediate RELEASE! The scar tissue is broken up and the muscle length is restored. The results--no more pain for the client!

With the Muscle Release Technique^SM, instead of using strength, one uses body positioning and weight. The Muscle Release Technique^SM is a tool to help therapists. No longer do therapists need to feel inadequate when a client or a friend comes to them in chronic or acute pain.

The main reason for the success of the Muscle Release Technique^SM, is that it is a way of treating the injury, and the resiliant adhesions and scar tissue. When the Muscle Release Technique^SM is used regularly, it not only prevents injuries, it helps to achieve a speedy recovery.

Can You Rub Out High Blood Pressure?  

10 Embarrassing Massage Questions

From Cathy Wong, for About.com

 

Do you tip? Are you supposed to be nude? Do you say anything if the pressure's not deep enough? What if you're self-conscious about your body?

Here are the answers to ten massage questions you want to ask, but may be too embarrassed to.

1) Am I supposed to tip my massage therapist?

If you get a massage at a spa or hotel, a 15% to 20% tip is standard if you were pleased with the services.

On the other hand, there are no real ground rules or norms when it comes to massage in a medical setting. Some massage therapists and massage associations I asked said tipping isn't appropriate in a medical or clinical setting.

If you're not sure, don't be afraid to ask if tipping is customary. You can call ahead to ask if you don't want to do it face to face.

If tipping isn't the norm, you can always show your appreciation by referring friends, family and co-workers to the massage therapist.

2) Am I supposed to take off my underwear when I get a massage?

Many people prefer to keep their panties or briefs on during a massage, while others prefer to be completely nude. It's up to you.

If your problem areas are your lower back, hips, buttocks, or groin, tight-fitting underwear can sometimes get in the way of massage work, but a thong for women or briefs for men should do the trick.

In North America, if you do remove your underwear, licensed massage therapists must ensure that you are always properly covered by a sheet or towel. Only the area being massaged will be uncovered.

3) What if I realize I've drooled during the massage?

Many people fall into a peaceful slumber during the massage but when they wake up, they notice a pool of drool on the pillow or massage table. This is very common. It often happens when people are being massaged while lying face down on the massage table.

Don't be afraid to ask the massage therapist for a tissue.

4) Will the massage therapist be there when I undress?

In North America, the massage therapist will leave the room so that you can remove your clothing and lie on the massage table (usually face down) under the top sheet.

Don't rush or worry that the massage therapist will walk in on you -- the massage therapist always knocks and asks if you are ready before entering the massage room.

5) Should I talk to the massage therapist during the massage?

Although some people prefer to talk throughout the massage, don't feel like you have to make conversation with the massage therapist. After all, you're having a treatment, you're not at a cocktail party!

Feel free to close your eyes and relax, which is what most people do.

Deep tissue massage and sports massage are just some of the types of massage that require more feedback. The massage therapist often works on deeper layers of muscle and will want to ensure that the pressure is not uncomfortable.

Be sure to speak up if:

• the room is too hot or too cold
  
• you experience pain
  
• you have any questions related to the massage
  
• there's anything you forgot to mention during the consultation

6) What if I get an erection during the massage?

Some men don't get massage therapy because they worry that they'll get an erection. Or they get the massage, but are unable to relax during the massage because of this fear.

But there is no reason to be embarrassed. It's perfectly normal for men to get an erection during a non-sexual, therapeutic massage.

Gentle touch administered to any area of the body can activate the parasympathetic nervous system and cause a partial or full erection. Your massage therapist (male or female) understands this and will generally ignore it.

If you are still worried, you may wish to wear a men's bikini bathing suit during the massage, which provides more support than boxers.

7) How do I know if it's a legitimate massage clinic?

Although you might think massage parlors that offer sensual or erotic massage may look obviously seedy, it can be sometimes be difficult to spot these places.

If you're trying a new clinic or spa, it's a good idea to call first and ask these questions:

• Do you offer therapeutic massage?
  
• Is the massage therapist certified or licensed?
  
• Do you require a health questionnaire of your clients?

A licensed massage therapist will not come into contact with your genitals or nipples during the massage.

8) The pressure isn't deep enough, but I don't want to insult the massage therapist's technique. What should I do?

Communicate openly with the massage therapist. Keep in mind however that it's a myth that massage therapy has to hurt to be effective.

Some of the most effective types of massage therapy are gentle and do not involve deep pressure or pain. In fact, too much pressure can cause muscles to seize up.

Here is a good rule of thumb -- on a scale of one to 10 where one is no pain and 10 is extremely painful, the pressure should always be less than seven.

9) I'm self-conscious about a certain part of my body and don't want the massage therapist to see me. What can I do?

People are self-conscious for various reasons. Some of the more common concerns are:

• I'm overweight.
  
• I have excessive hair growth on my body.
  
• I've got acne on my face or back.
  
• My feet are ugly.
  
• I have scars.

Being self-conscious should never keep you from seeking health care, whether it's visiting your doctor or seeing a massage therapist.

If you're self-conscious about a certain part of your body, you can ask the massage therapist to avoid that area.

Or, you can opt for a therapy that is done through clothing, such as shiatsu or Thai massage. Because no massage oil or lotion is used, you remain fully clothed during the session.

You can even bring your own comfortable clothes to wear.

Just remember to provide complete and accurate information on your health history form, so that the massage therapist is aware of any precautions or contraindications.

10) I'd rather see a female massage therapist. Should I request this?

Some men don’t feel comfortable having a massage by a male massage therapist. It may be due to outdated social and media stereotypes of the profession or the fear of getting an erection during the massage.

Erection is a common physiological response that happens when the parasympathetic nervous system is activated by touch anywhere on the body.)

Some women also prefer a female massage therapist because they say they feel more comfortable.

This doesn't just apply to massage therapy. A University of Michigan study found that 43 percent of women preferred a female doctor for a colonoscopy. Of these women, 87 percent said they would be willing to wait more than 30 days to get an appointment with a female colonoscopist, and 14 percent would be willing to pay more for one.

Unfortunately, men who choose to become massage therapists are often unprepared for the discrimination they face. When clients request female over male therapists, spas stop hiring them, however skilled they are.

That's why I believe it's important to challenge your preconceptions. Here are some tips to help you:

• If you see other practitioners in the clinic or spa, ask if you could meet the massage therapist before you book the appointment.
  
  
• Try booking a massage at a health club or a clinic, where there's usually a higher percentage of male clientele and staff.
  
  
• You may wish to start with an active form of massage, such as deep tissue or sports massage or a type of massage that is done fully clothed, such as shiatsu or Thai massage.
