Gratitude is the law of increase!

I'm sitting in my London hotel room early this morning; preparing to go teach another course at the north school, and reflecting on some very satisfying days I've had in the past couple of week.

Last night I attended my second, and unfortunately, final rehearsal of the Messiah for this year.  The choir is outstanding; the rehearsal director was wonderful, and afterwards I joined several members for a drink at the pub down the hill.  And thought:  "How lucky I am to get to do this..."

Before rehearsal I hopped into a taxi to get from a busy clinic day to share a quick dinner with a past client with whom I love to check in once a trip if possible, an Indian woman who is on an amazing spiritual path.  And thought:  "How lucky I am to get to do this..."

This came after two days full of really wonderful clients and colleagues at the clinic, during which nearly everyone came off my work table looking taller, or me looking shorter.  All were quite satisfied, and I felt really grateful that I had the chance to work with such eager and committed people.  And thought:  "How lucky I am to do this..." 

And opportunities keep coming.  Gratitude is truly the law of increase.

Health Update: Medical Students Have Many Alternative Options

Individuals who wish to study this area of medicine can also attend Georgetown University, which has offered a master's degree program in complementary and alternative medicine since 2003, its website states. Students who enroll in this course of study focus on topics such as massage, acupuncture, herbs and supplements as well as the interactions of the mind and body.

Additionally, the Texas College of Traditional Chinese Medicine recently became the first Chinese medical school in the country to offer a dual master's degree program from the U.S. and China, the institution's website states. After completing this course of study, participants will be awarded a master of acupuncture and oriental medicine degree from the Texas school, as well as a Tui Na credential from the Zhejiang Chinese Medical University in China. Using these two qualifications, officials from the school said students will be able to practice in the U.S. and abroad.

Health Update: Massage Therapy's Place in a Multi-Disciplinary Setting

A skilled massage therapist can successfully integrate mechanical correction with freeing psycho-spiritual blockages. Although an oversimplification of the tenets of massage, the physical manipulation of tendino-muscular groups can facilitate healthful tissue mechanics while massage's circulation enhancement can move stuck emotions and release unhealthful thought patterns. As such, massage therapy is an ideal component of a multi-disciplinary health practice where other professionals address cellular, neurological, chemical and biophysical components of clients' health.
