Head Massage is an amazing Alternative Medicine tool. It is convenient, it doesn't require a special place, it can be done almost everywhere and the patient can remain fully clothed during the session.
A bit of history. Head Massage appeared in ancient India as part of Ayurveda. Later was brought in Tibet by the Indian Gurus which passed the science to Tibetan Monks.
Champi, (or Champissage as is known in the western world), is a very popular Indian tradition and the knowledge passes from generation to generation.
Benefits of Head Massage. Head Massage is an exceptional treatment for the following conditions:
Insomnia, Stress, Anxiety, Restlessness, Dizziness, Unbalanced Emotions, Depression, Muscle Cramps and Stiffness, Backache and Migraines, fatigue. In combination with the use of massage oils is an very good tool to treat skin and hair problems. It is one of the most effective tools against all disorders caused by the modern life.
Self massage. If you can't benefit from the services of a professional massage therapist you can give yourself a head massage. At your workplace to help you regain concentration, at home after an exhausting day, before an exam to help you manage the stress, etc...
Before you start. Before a self-massage warm up your hands, if needed, wash your hands with warm water and use moisturizing cream or massage oil. Rub your hands together very quickly, this warms them even more. Relax as much as possible focusing on your massage.
Begin with a neck stretching. Place your hands on the place where neck joints with shoulders and start with a side stretching left - and right. The stretching has to be done in a slow motion and the extension should in the limits of comfort. Do this a few times each side. Keeping your hands on the shoulders, continue with stretching forward - backward in the same slow motion. Continue the stretching with alternative rotations; one clockwise the next one counterclockwise this time even slower. Repeat this several times.
Shoulder squeezing. Place your left hand on your right shoulder near your neck and squeeze the muscle between your palm and your fingers. Do this on the whole shoulder up to the neck. Repeat this with your right hand on the left shoulder. Ideally you should do this directly on the skin. Avoid rubbing the skin too much if you are not using oil.
Nerve Strokes. Pass your fingers gently through your hair against the direction of hair growth and go all the way to neck. Do this on the opposite direction starting from the neck to the front of the head. When you reach the top of the head where the hair forms a swirl stop for a second and then proceed further.
Eyebrows friction. Starting from between your eyebrows rub with both of your middle fingers along the eyebrows to the temporal bone. When you reach the temporal bone search for a small cavity and do a small circle fingertip friction. Alternatively this can be done with the thumb. This is an excellent tool against headaches and fatigue.
Ear Massage. Ear massage will help reduce the stress, improve digestion, improve body temperature adjustment. Pull the ear backward with light force. Squeeze the ear between thumb and index applying a light pressure. Pull the earlobe downward with light force and release.
This stimulates all the energetic points on the ear. This is very similar to auriculotherapy. Earlobe massage will calm the hyperactive kids.
A bit of the spiritual part. Indian head massage is based on the assumption that human body have energetic centers called marma. Marma are sensitive points that are serving as gates between body's physical and energetic levels, (it is something similar to Chinese pressopuncture points). By stimulating these points we can adjust the vital energy.

energy, Friday, April 24, 2009The Secret Of Producing Energy
energy,Electrical energy was one of man's greatest discoveries. It has helped build new civilizations. The large amount of electricity produced has its source in fossil fuels, nuclear fission, water, and wind. This article will explore the different methods of electricity production.
Electricity is churned out by enormous turbines. These turbines need a support to be moved. There are various ways of moving these turbines:
By burning fossil fuels: Electricity is produced when the blades of a turbine are moved by enormous amounts of vapour. This vapour is generated by heating a lot of water in huge furnaces. The water is heated by burning fossil fuels like coal, petroleum, and natural gas. This method releases enormous amounts of carbon dioxide in the air, thus severely polluting our atmosphere. It is important to turn to alternate methods of electricity production for long-term benefits.
By water: You must have heard how dams are constructed to produce electricity. A popular method to produce electricity, a water dams serves two purposes: restricting water bodies and producing electricity. Water dams use the river water to move turbines, helping them produce electricity. Electricity generated this way helps control air pollution; however, this method of electricity production adversely affects the ecosystem in the water bodies.
Water accounts for 90 percent of the world's electricity generated through renewable resources.
By wind: Electricity is produced when wind energy is converted to electrical energy. Wind mills or wind turbines are used to churn up enormous amounts of wind energy which is then converted into electrical energy.
The latest in wind energy advancement tells us that wind energy is helping create portable cell phone chargers.
By nuclear fission: Yes, nuclear fission does not only make atom bombs, but also helps produce electricity. Nuclear fission causes a chain reaction where the element Uranium is bombarded by neutrons causing it to split. Every time a Uranium nucleus is split, more neutrons are released, causing more splits in the already split Uranium nuclei. The resultant chain reaction generates a lot of heat which is used to heat water the vapour of which eventually moves turbines to create electricity.
By bio-waste: With technological advancements, electricity is also being produced by bio-waste. Bio-gas is a typical way of generating electricity in rural areas in countries like India. In fact, a new technology evolved in the state of Bihar in India that uses human waste to generate electricity.

Imagination: The Ultimate Alternative Power Source
energy, Wednesday, April 22, 2009Imagination is the ultimate alternative power source for our troubled times. Energy, abundance, and health are within your grasp when you walk in the direction of your dreams. Witness the huge number of grass roots organizations around the world that are making positive changes in peoples lives today. Like a healing circle humanity seems to be joining hands to soothe the wounds of a plundered planet. The collective power of peoples imagination has the potential to solve all the problems we face today.
Having the vision to see the path to your dreams is the starting point of imaginatiion. Unless one makes the effort to believe that a way to a goal exists, then it is only a daydream. When you take that first step doors will open and details will start to appear. Develop a belief in yourself and watch the road to success begin to take shape. The holistic view is from the heart and is all inclusive. To see in this way is to connect with an infinite wealth of resources that makes imagination so powerful. This is insight from your divine nature.
Fantasy is a production of your ego. The mental construction that we call the ego always wants to go it alone. It will base its plans on the senses which are separate from one another. Coming from the ego a fantasy will most often be grandiose. The limited view of the ego makes one need and want all the credit for reaching a goal.
Moving in the direction of your dreams takes courage. Every person has this tremendous power, but few use it. The messages we receive daily from radio and tv are filled with the idea that we are powerless and vulnerable. We are given a picture of a hopeless world of poverty, violence, and suffering. We need to walk away from those messages and get a new perspective. I'm not talking about just thinking "outside the box". We need to climb out of that box. We need to crawl out of the bunkers we are living in to see an alternative to those depressing images. Go past the walls of doubt and you will find abundance. Go past the barriers of fear and you will reach that dream located beyond your comfort zone.
There is an abundance of possibilities that could be created with the wealth of peoples imagination if only we would join together in that effort. There is a world out there rich in the power of love to solve all problems. If we face our fears we can lay our hands on that power. There is a world awaiting that is free of health problems and suffering. This is a world ready to be created from the source of human potential. Can you imagine?
