Deep inside, at our innermost core, we are all aware that we are love itself. We all have an amazing capacity to love, we are the source of love. Our minds may give us a million reasons and deny the fact, but remember, you are not your mind. Out from the core of our being emanate the most powerful, the most awesome and divine loving vibration. But sometimes this is hard to understand as we are stuck with some old feelings and also negative thinking patterns which we may have learned from others.
Try to imagine that you are taking out all the negative from inside yourself, the negative that surrounds your heart. We all carry around judgement. Grab the heaviness… the guilt… the shame… and let go of it all! Send it back to where it came from in the first place. Throw it all deeply into the ground and let Mother Earth ‘recycle’ it for you, where it is consumed with love. Open up to love and your heart will open wider. Practise this every day and you will soon notice a change in your every day thinking and in your every day life. You can focus this warm, beautiful, loving feeling into the people who touch your life and become a bigger channel of love for others. Our hearts are beaming with golden-white light and we ARE the infinite supply of love.
Become aware of how good it feels to love. The more you do that, the more you open up for more love for yourself. Let go of how you think and enjoy the feelings that flow through you and watch your whole life shift and transform.
There are no real “ground rules” or norms when it comes to having a massage in a medical setting. Usually the massage therapist will leave the room so that you can (in your own time) remove your clothing before you lie on the massage table under the top sheet (normally face down). There is no need for you to rush or worry that your therapist walks in on you, as he/she will always knock and ask if you are ready before coming into the room.
There is of course the question whether to take off your underwear during a massage? It is up to you. Many people keep their knickers/briefs/panties on. Some prefer to be completely nude. Sometimes tight-fitting underwear gets in the way of massage work, especially if your problem areas are your lower back, hips, buttocks, or groin. A thong for women or briefs for men should do the trick.
In some countries such as North America, a licensed massage therapists must make sure that you are always properly covered by a sheet or towel if you do remove all of your clothes and ONLY the area which is being massaged will be uncovered.
About tipping, I have asked some massage therapists and also associations/boards, but they said tipping isn’t appropriate in a medical or clinical setting. There is no reason though why you can’t show your appreciation by referring friends, family or even work colleagues. It would be different if you get a massage at a spa or maybe a hotel. If you were pleased and like to tip, a 15-20% tip is the going rate, but than after all, it is up to you.
You do not have to make conversation with the massage therapist. Some people prefer to talk throughout the massage though. It is up to you. I think it is best to shut up, close your eyes, enjoy! That’s what most people do and it is the most relaxing. You’re having a treatment after all and you’re not at a cocktail party!
But, be sure to say
If the room is too hot or too cold
Should you experience pain for some reason
Or if you have any questions related to the massage
And of course, if there’s anything you forgot to mention during the consultation, don’t hesitate to be open about it. There is also no reason why you should experience pain during your massage. It is a myth that it is only effective when you experience pain. A lot of the most effective types of massage therapies are gentle. They don’t even involve deep pressure. In fact, too much pressure can be the cause for muscles to seize up.
So what if you are self-conscious about a particular part of your body? That happens and people are self-conscious for different reasons.
Some of the most common reasons are:
Weight issues - overweight
Excessive hair growth on the body
Acne - spots - skin conditions
Feet - I found that a lot of people have issues with their feet
People also seem to have issues with scars
We are all a little self-conscious at times, but I think it should never stop you from seeking health care. Be it visiting doctors or seeing an alternative practitioner. Still, you can always ask the therapist to avoid a particular area, if you are bothered by it. Or how about choosing a therapy where the treatment is done without the use of oils or lotions, where you remain fully dressed such as shiatsu or Tai massage?
We are all different, have our preferences. Some men don’t feel comfortable being massaged by a male therapist. Some of the reasons may be outdated social media or maybe even of fear of getting an erection during the massage. By touch anywhere on the body, the parasympathetic nervous system is stimulated and activated, therefore erection is a normal, common physiological response that happens. Nothing really to worry about!
How about women? Some prefer female massage therapists as they say they feel more comfortable. I have had massages of male and female massage therapists and thought about it and personally I don’t really have a preference. I think it is the mood I am in when I receive massages that make the difference in therapists.
It’s a bit disappointing that so many have preconceptions, as unfortunately men who decide for a massage profession are often not prepared for the discrimination they face when clients request female over male therapists, clinics and spas stop employing them, and it does not matter how skilled they are.
Personal thought:
How about challenging your preconceptions by asking to meet the therapist before booking an appointment?
As a word, love is small and it is also simple and unassuming.
When we place intention and action behind the word love, love becomes very powerful. Love becomes magical. And love becomes one of life’s greatest motivators.
What do you really know about love?
We have love for the once that are closest to us, like partners, family and friends. We can give love to others. We can give love to life. We can give love to the world around us.
A lot of the things we do and try to accomplish in our life is motivated by love. We desire a loving partner and a loving family as well as loving friends. Our aim is to love and to be loved. We hope to build a life we love and quite often, we are moved to make choices out of love for someone or something.
Some people regard love as complex, painful and difficult. But all we need to do is love unconditionally and with truth and it becomes the easiest thing in the world.
We can only love unconditionally when we first love ourselves and accept who we are. When your love is true love, which is pure and unconditional it becomes the magical essence that changes lives.
Love drives our evolution. It gives purpose and meaning to the communication and interaction of one soul to another.
When you are secure and emotionally rooted in happiness it allows you to love and be loved in the fullest way possible.
Let Go and step out of the self that is needy, insecure, fearful and feeling unloved in order to let love in to your life.
Become and be the love you wish to see in the world.
Thoughts Affect Attitude, Body Language, Physiology, Motivation
Thoughts affect your attitude, body language, physiology as well as your motivation to act. Thoughts are powerful and they affect everything you do. Negative thoughts have a negative affect on you, they weaken you, control your behaviour, they can even make you spill things, stutter, make you moody, depressed, tense and they make you breathe shallowly. The breathing rate as well as the heart rate are physiological changes which occur for every thought you think. Your thinking affects every cell in your body.
Control and master your thoughts - as that is your ‘job’. You are in charge and 100% responsible.
From my knowledge, the average person talks to themselves approximately 56,000 words in a 24 hour day. 77% of the self talk is negative I.e. “ I don’t like my hair today”, “ I’m not a speaker”, “ I’m always late”, “ I shouldn’t have said that”, “ Nobody likes me”, “ I’m not a good swimmer”, “ I can’t dance”, “ I can’t cook”, “ I will never loose weight”, “ I just can’t get organised”.
When you think positive, your thoughts have a positive affect on your body, your moods, your motivation to act. Positive thoughts make you balanced, relaxed, happy, patient, even more loving. Your whole being is renewed, when you reach congruency.
Step back and think seriously on what is going on inside of you. To change your personal history (emotions), you have to change your strategy. By stepping back from your thinking you go to a higher psychological level and change will take place. Without changing the level of your thinking, you cannot change the problems which have been created by the same thoughts.
Self-reflexivity is one of the most beautiful qualities of the human mind. Not only do we think about something that has happened, we also think about the thought we had about it. In a fraction of a second, we form thoughts at the back of our minds. By feeling how your emotions are changing, you will find a whole new part of you when you finally discover your positive intention.
There is a part of you that desires you to be better, feel better and be everything you can be and therefore you enjoy more confidence in yourself, as well as increasing your self-esteem, and trusting yourself more. Live a more prosperous life. Go for your dreams. Realise that you are important in the world, you are of unique value. Thank yourself for the beautiful, wonderful human being you are and believe in yourself.
Everyone has negative thoughts but we can beat them and therefore out negative emotions. Geniuses and high achievers are the ones who have already mastered their thoughts and emotions. With an effective strategy or plan, you will make progress, function properly and accomplish your desired goals, as well as radiating more energy, vitality and health. Than you will get out of life what it is you really want and live a life full of abundance.
When you have love, ALL things are possible! After all, what is it that cannot be accomplished by the power of love? Joy and peace, success and wisdom - love is the only power that makes it real for you.
Love is the only thing that gives us the strength to go beyond what it is we normally do. Love gives us the ability to make sacrifices for something other than selfish reasons. Love gives us the courage to be persistent in the face of tremendous odds. Love gives us the wish to be better and kinder as well as more true human beings.
By finding the endless source of love, a love we could call upon at any time when we needed it, we would own the power of powers. Don’t let anyone else tell you otherwise, this love really exists and we can hope to find such love within ourselves.
The type of love that transcends the love we know to date exists and that higher level of love doesn’t fade away, even when time passes.
Love doesn’t betray, it is always there and it is just waiting to awaken us to its presence within our own hearts.
Love is the way - whether we are seeking a more loving relationship, more interesting days at work, finding the courage to be bold and say what it is you mean, or just simply the pleasure of a quiet mind.
Don’t we all look for love? In relationships and careers as well as our hobbies. We may feel more fortunate than most. We may have been able to fulfill our greatest passions, and that feeling follows us everywhere. It won’t go away, no matter where we go, no matter what we are doing - but we also know that there is a feeling as if there is something missing.
We have little reason for this empty feeling, for this empty space that frustrates us and our hopes to find real, true and lasting fulfilment.
It is love itself telling us there is more to it when we feel dissatisfaction. Love’s secret ways of calling us beckoning us to work on our own unsolved deep mystery. I find that all of our present loves become more fulfilling and we notice a very rare and quiet beauty in areas we didn’t expect. I feel that we become a source of love that touches and warms the people around us. Love reveals the good things in all things and we can never turn bitter again.
Don’t hang around wasting your time thinking about how many times love has “failed” you in the past. Stop counting the times that you have been hurt and how many times you have felt your idea of love fade away. Focus on the timeless love you have always desired, as it awaits you. We need to learn the facts of love so that love becomes a fact in your life.
Isn’t true love what we all desire? Deep down in our hearts, love is the answer to all of our questions, our needs and every single longing we have ever experienced.
Every word and thought adds to your life experience. Thoughts produce emotions and emotions result in how you feel about a certain event that happens in your life. Even when two people look at exactly the same event, they have opposite feelings about it. With the thoughts you choose to think, with the words you say, you are creating your very own subjective reality, moment by moment both to yourself as well as others and your subjective reality impinges on the physical reality through the power of Spirit.
To most people it is like a foreign language and they do not realise that they can change their actions… feelings… thoughts… beliefs… AND their identity and they are rather perceived as the outcome of influences upon him. People feel ‘moulded’ and in effect with few choices. Most think that life just ‘happens’ to them and everything is always OTHER’S fault. But then the truth is, that everyone is responsible for their life and for the quality of his life - therefore, there is no reason why we can’t change things around. You have the ability to manifest your dreams, to take life to a new conscious level.
Recent events have proven a tremendous desire for more and more people in the world wanting peace in their lives and many people have become aware that by having peace in the world, we first have to make peace with ourselves and our own lives. Only than will we be capable of making such a transformation. Lets face it, our experience in the world reflects our inner state - we mirror our internal state… our resistance and fears… our acceptance and love… and as a group, we also mirror our consciousness in world events…that’s the reality… I think that it is our personal responsibility to become aware of our own contribution we add to the group consciousness as that is the only way to create a world with better and more opportunities for ourselves, each other and our loved ones, which will ultimately lead to a better world for everyone.
So what wars are going on inside of us? What are the purposes and goals that we hold so dearly? Some of them we may have brought into our life or felt most strongly as a child or young person about and they were very often accepted rather than wanted. By trying to achieve them, we may forget about them or maybe even suppress them as we rather opted for a safer solution. We still want to “play” and playing the safe game is a very sad conflict, as we have become somebody different. We become a substitute for our true self.
As I already said, first we have to make peace with ourselves if we want to contribute toward peace in the world. We cannot love others unconditionally if we are not able to love ourselves genuinely. We cannot forgive and stop judging others before forgiving ourselves and accepting ourselves JUST as we are. Only by forgiving ourselves, we can more easily forgive someone else. We clearly don’t love ourselves, if we haven’t learned to forgive others. Forgiving yourself means that you “take back” the energy that you given away in the first place and as it frees you to be yourself again you will be a new, happier and also wiser you. By loving yourself, we and others won’t ever need forgiveness as we are able to accept all, the past, the present and the future for what it is without making any judgements.
This is something to remember: There is absolutely no beauty that we could perceive or create if it weren’t already within us.
Love is the unconditional acceptance of all there is - that means No judgements. If you are not judging anything, you will accept everything. If you accept everything you’ll be loving everything.
The acceptance of whatever happens is love.
The acceptance of whatever happens is wisdom.
The acceptance of whatever happens is peace.
The acceptance of whatever happens means you are in the flow of life.
Pat O’Bryan wants to know. He is more than curious. So he decides to take a video camera, places it in a café and explores the ultimate question “What is LOVE?“ by interviewing his friends (including Joe Vitale), acquaintances, and complete stranger. Just watch the video below and see for yourself.
