Watch Me Blow Fire …
Here is a sneak peek into my Winter Solstice preparations! I love this time of year and the powerful currents of energy available to us. I explain ( in best way I can) how I take advantage of the Solstice healing frequencies … the Blessing!
Massage Music -
Here are 3, must know, secrets to choosing the right massage music. Picking the best music for your massage is very challenging. Don’t fall into the trap I fell into. These secrets can ensure your massage success!
#1 Secret -
Take your choice of sounds, to be played while you work, very seriously. Many therapist do not give enough credit to the outcome of this simple preparation. Try not to rush when you are considering songs, a little extra attention to detail here makes all the difference.
Don’t fall into the rut of always running the same old tape, so to speak. Your musical environment can make a lasting impression, it is as important as the lighting or temperature.
#2 Secret -
Stop and think about your client and what they are coming to you for and what their major issues are. Do your best to meet their needs even with the CD or download you cue up.
Picture this … someone is coming to you because of depression and you pick the slowest most understated music you know. Imagine how that could affect them. They are already down as can be. Perhaps a relaxing more upbeat tune would serve them better!
#3 Secret -
Most professionals will agree that as a masseuse, you, personally also have needs that must be considered. The very act of giving a massage can be completely taxing.
You can benefit tremendously by musically matching the energy level you would like to maintain throughout the session. Take good care of yourself. Always pick sounds that uplift and keep you focused. The more you can give to yourself the more you have to give your client!
I am sure you know that …
Massage music is powerful healing medicine but it also has the power to harm as well. Use these 3 Secrets to Choosing the Right Massage Music and pick your tunes with intention and respect.
Most Importantly …
Read this carefully and remember that this information on Massage Music - 3 Secrets to Choosing the Right Massage Music is just the tip of the ice berg. Please go to http://www.massagemusic.info to learn more about the advanced uses of music in your practice.
Massage Music ... is it the secret to great massage therapy? How can the music you play during massage be the crucial factor to your success and help you avoid some dreadful pitfalls?
Most agree that massage music, is an important part of their massage session. Here is why it is more important than you can imagine!
Making it Great …
There are many skilled therapist in the field today so it has to be more than just training that sets you apart. What makes an experience with a masseuse top notch?
Many clients would say it is the overall feeling they are left with afterwards, that determines, how great the experience was. Are they eager to return for more treatments or do they quickly forget about it? What keeps them coming back for more?
The Music …
Can you be a better massage therapist by effectively choosing the right music? I think most highly educated massage professionals would say yes to this. Your choice can be the single most important part of your preparations.
Everyone wants to make there sessions wonderful but often fall short. Unfortunately not all masseuses have the same skill or knowledge especially when it comes to the effects of sound.
Mind, Body and Spirit ...
Sound and, in particular, songs can greatly affect your physical, mental and emotional state.
Imagine the loud pulsating beat of a hard rock concert … you might be moved to yell and gyrate. Compare that to the laid back sensations of a smooth, mellow harp sound. Quite different outcomes!
It is proven that musical notes can literally change your pulse and heart rate. No wonder the best music for a therapeutic treatment is so critical. The sounds that fill your room will have a powerful influence on the person on the massage table.
Soothing the Senses …
Picking soothing sounds can be a, common sense, place to start. Calm, peaceful tones can be the key to setting a relaxing pace. You want your client to be able to let go and forget the everyday hustle bustle.
Watch Out for This Major Pitfall …
Soothing and calm can sometimes lead to boring. You want to make sure that you stay energized and excited while you are giving a massage. If you become sluggish the quality of your work will suffer.
More Than Just Pretty Music …
Massage music, is it the secret to great massage therapy? Clearly you can see that the answer to this question depends on your knowledge base. It has been proven that frequency and tonal qualities of your music can increase your effectiveness 100 fold, it simply depends on the choices that you make.
Not all Massage Music is created equal. When healing and balancing energies are being released through the sound you play, your client will have a wonderful experience. You will have to work less strenuously and the results will last longer. Both you and your client wins!
Pay Close Attention Here ...
Look for music that gives you a personal sense of energized, well being. In particular look for tone, resonance and vibration that utilize the knowledge of sound healing and music therapy.
You will give yourself an extra advantage when you put these proven techniques to work in your massage session.

The Blessing Ritual Cleanse Bath is a process to gift yourself, at the time of seasonal change. It is in honor of your personal journey.
You can really benefit from this powerful information.
This Ritual is a best preformed as near to the day of the Equinox or Solstice as possible … before the Blessing Bowls Blessing begins …
You are preparing your personal vessel to open up to the Seasonal energies safely and fully.
You will be approaching the gateway of ‘Oneness’ and you must be clear, balanced and centered.
1. The optimal time of day for this healing ritual is dawn.
2. Find a quiet place to bathe in a tub of clear water. Outside is ideal when possible. Do the best you can by opening up a window or bringing elements of the outdoors into your space.
3. If you know the clearing sequence of the Blessing Bowls or the clearing sequence of your pendulum you can use it at this point.
4. Frankincense oil, can be added to the water. The next choice would be ylang, ylang.
Burn a pure white candle or allow it to be dark. The incense of copal or cedar can be burned but only before you enter the water.
You may also like to smudge yourself with a sage stick. The smudging also needs to be done before you enter the water and then put out.
5. Be sure to place your ceremonial robe or special piece of clothing near by to put on after your cleansing ritual.
Wear your ceremonial clothing for at least an hour after you exit the water.
6. Stand firmly on the ground with your back straight and feel the support of the stable Earth beneath you. Now you are ready to enter the water. Put only your feet and lower legs in the water. Imagine your body absorbing the water like a sponge. After you have been filled to the tip top of your head enter the water completely.
Once comfortably in the water, rest in a position that best suits you. Imagine that you and the water are one, as your entire body has been filled. There is no separation between the water molecules and your cells.
7. Determine where the fire of the sun resides in relationship to where you are. With your consciousness, make contact with the fire of the sun and allow it stream toward you in a beautiful ray.
As the suns energy reaches you let it enter into your body, gently, through the top of your head. Now see it spread all through your body down to your toes.
Be at one with the fire of the sun as it resides gently in your cells.
8. This is the point where you must submerge your head into the water as well. Only leave your mouth and nose slightly above water as to allow for breathing.
When you are ready, take 3 deep and full breaths, releasing them slowly. Accept the energy of the air into your body and invite it to fill your cells with life.
Your cells are now filled with the vital energies of earth, air, fire and water.
9. Place your Blessing Bowl on your lap or on the bottom of the tub if it will fit without being totally submerged.
Begin by tapping the rim easily and then slowly play the rim. As the sound resonates out, say or sing the sounds .. E-OW-OH. Repeat the sound for a total of three times.
Notice the water taking on the vibration and frequency of your Blessing Bowl.*
( *If you do not have a Blessing Bowl use a singing bowl or simply sing the sounds.)
10. Take a few moments to bask in the wonder of your ritual cleanse as you know that you are being relieved of all energies that block your clear and receptive channel.
11. When you are ready to exit the water, imagine the energies of earth, air, fire and water, rolling off of you like the drops of water itself.
Inwardly experience the spaciousness and lightness of being.
You will be left with a bright and clear light all around you, within and with out!
12. Give thanks!
