The term Reiki comes from the Japanese words “rei” and “ki”. Rei means universal and ki means vital life force. Put them together and what you have is Reiki–a universal and vital life force. Reiki is a beneficial healing modality that is utilized for health and wellness. It is based on energetic principles and practiced globally in many hospitals, medical settings, and private practices. It can help to open or free chakras that are blocked (which causes other chakras to become over-active), and restore a person’s natural balance. When all chakras are open and balanced, the mind, body, and spiritual self are healthier.
Research shows that among other health benefits, Reiki can speed up post-operative healing, relieve pain, reduce stress, ease anxiety, lower blood pressure, and improve overall quality of life.
Additionally, the 5 principles of Reiki can be incorporated into your daily life so that you can have positive, grounding energy ALL DAY, EVERY DAY.
The 5 Principles of REIKI
1. Stop worrying
2. Don’t be angry
3. Be humble
4. Be kind
5. Show honesty
“Just for today,” is how Reiki principles start, so why not start your weekend with Beth and focus on how to be your best every day.

The Trager® approach (TA) is a unique form of bodywork developed by Milton Trager that utilizes gentle, rhythmic, rocking motions to help reset the body from a state of tension to a state of relaxation. When the body is injured or tense, it adapts by guarding the area. This can result in decreased range of motion, increased tightness in muscles, and resistance to change. TA recognizes that the unconscious mind is directly linked to how we feel about and move with our bodies. Our physical, mental, and emotional health are all intricately connected. Trauma can manifest in our bodies in the form of physical ailments, disorders, or imbalances. Once we create patterns or feedback loops in the nervous system, they are difficult to disrupt.
The goal of TA is to smooth out the wrinkles in the system; to promote “freedom of movement, freedom from pain, and comfort within the body.” TA practitioners, like Mary, observe how the body is moving and work with you to assist it in moving more freely. This approach aims to optimize relaxation and ultimately re-pattern the way the body moves. Using lateral, side-to-side, swinging motions, the practitioner is coaxing the brain out of holding patterns that manifest in the body causing pain or decreased range of motion. Do you remember the calming effect that swinging had on your nervous system as a child? TA taps into the visceral response we have to feeling our body’s weight as it rocks, sways, jiggles, or moves freely.
As the practitioner facilitates a series of gentle, non-intrusive movements, we can begin to recall feelings of playfulness and a sense of how our bodies felt in childhood-more free. Once given the choice between tension and freedom of fuller movement, the mind (& nervous system) will choose the more pleasurable option. The unconscious mind is reminded that it can move freely, without pain, and enter a more relaxed state.
Mary says, “When I am receiving TA, I feel like I’m in my baby body. There is a feeling of soft, fullness, and freedom.” If this sounds like something you’d like to experience, all you have to do is schedule a massage with Mary and ask for this approach.
Mary Sinclair has been a LMT since 1996. She has recently acquired her Trager® Approach Practitioner Certification through 300+ hours of class study and fieldwork. She has been blending TA into her massage work due to the efficacy of the work and the fortifying effects it has on her own body while working. She is now also offering TA sessions here at UAC. A TA session includes 5-10 minutes of Mentastics or Mental Gymnastics to help create the same types of feelings in the body that are experienced while receiving table work. An essential and unique aspect of TA is recall or realizing that once a more pleasurable sensation has occurred within the body, that experience will always be with us–just waiting to be re-lived.

Chronic Asthma Treatment – Improve Quality Of Life
Acupuncture has been used as a tool to help relieve pain for hundreds of years now. If you’re living with a condition like asthma, then acupuncture treatments can be invaluable in helping you find relief. Those who suffer from asthma usually take medication on a daily basis, to ensure that there isn’t any inflammation in their airways. They also use inhalers to find relief should they suffer from an asthma attack.
If you opt for acupuncture treatments, this doesn’t mean that you no longer have to take your medications. Instead, acupuncture offers complementary healing, that together with your medication, can help you live better.
How Acupuncture Helps People Suffering From Asthma
During an acupuncture session, the pressure points in the body are stimulated. Thin needles are inserted into the skin. These needles are then activated using gentle movements by the acupuncturist. Sometimes, electrical stimulation is used as well.
The essential idea at play here is that when pressure points in the body are stimulated, this can help the body heal. Acupuncture has a therapeutic effect on the body. A study that was conducted in 2015 and published in the ‘Pain and Medicine’ journal studied the pressure points in the human body, also known as acupoints. The study revealed that these pressure points could be releasing particular substances. It could also be sustaining changes in a way where the functions that specific organs have, are adjusted. This helps the body stay in a state of homeostasis. This in turn, can help alleviate the symptoms associated with asthma.
Acupuncture And Acupoints: The Connection To Asthma
It’s been seen that when pressure is applied to the acupoints on the body, this can release tension in the muscles. It can also boost blood circulation. During an acupuncture session, the pressure points in the body are stimulated using fine needles. This then stimulates the central nervous system.
When the central nervous system is stimulated, it ends up releasing chemicals. These chemicals reach the spinal cord, the brain, as well as the muscles in the body. This then kickstarts the healing abilities that are naturally present in the body.
There are specific pressure points that are known for helping to alleviate the symptoms of asthma. Some of these are located on areas like the chest, the back, near the torso’s front, and more. It’s been seen that acupuncture can help in relieving the symptoms of allergy in asthma patients. Asthma that’s specifically caused by allergens like mold, dust or pollen, is known as allergy asthma.
When people with asthma opt for acupuncture treatment, they can reduce the amount of inflammatory cytokines in their system within four weeks. During asthma, the airways are inflamed. But with acupuncture, you can help reduce this inflammation, and ease the symptoms of your asthma.
Acupuncture treatments, when used together with traditional asthma treatments, can help people living with asthma lead better lives.

Deep tissue massage is a type of massage that’s focused on releasing muscle tension and improving range of motion. While there are many types of deep tissue massage, one common technique used is neuromuscular massage. This involves the use of friction to help relax your muscles. The action of applying pressure and friction to certain areas in your body can help increase blood flow. This means that more oxygen, nutrients and other molecules are being delivered to your tissues. This leads to better recovery after intense physical activity or just daily stressors like sitting at a desk all day long.
Read on to learn the different conditions that neuromuscular massage can treat:
Muscle tension
Neuromuscular massage can help in releasing muscle tension. It helps improve flexibility and range of motion, which is a good thing if you want to increase your mobility and decrease pain.
You can use it as a warm-up or to stretch out tight muscles after working out. If you’ve been sitting at your desk all day, stand up and walk around for 20 minutes before beginning your massage session. This will help loosen up those stiff muscles.
Headaches
Headaches are a common symptom of stress, poor posture and posture habits (such as hunched over desks), muscle tension in the neck region and tightness in the shoulder girdle area. Neuromuscular massage can help with this.
It works by relaxing your muscles, so they don’t become tense or contracted when stressed out. This helps you release tension from your head, shoulders and back rather than holding it on purpose. The latter will only exacerbate symptoms like dizziness or nausea when you release it too quickly.
Chronic pain
Chronic pain is often the result of inflammation. Neuromuscular massage can help reduce inflammation and, thus, chronic pain. It also reduces muscle spasms, which are painful contractions in muscles that can result from injury or illness.
Stress
Neuromuscular massage can help get rid of stress and promote relaxation by releasing tension in the muscles and fascia. During the session, the therapist will use specific techniques such as deep pressure, stretching, and trigger point therapy to target tight or knotted areas in the muscles. It stimulates the release of endorphins, which are natural pain-relieving chemicals in the body. This can help to reduce stress and promote a sense of relaxation and well-being.
Rigidity
Neuromuscular massage can help in improving flexibility and range of motion. It improves the range of motion by increasing blood flow through the muscle tissue, which helps restore its elasticity (drying out). This allows you to move through more angles than before.
Anxiety and depression
Neuromuscular massage is a non-invasive treatment that can help in reducing anxiety and depression. It helps in reducing cortisol levels, which is a hormone that causes stress. This treatment is great for relieving stress, and improving sleep quality and overall well-being.
Conclusion
Neuromuscular massage is a technique that can be used to help treat various conditions. It is an effective way to release muscle tension, manage chronic pain and promote relaxation and stress relief. The benefits of this technique are countless and it can help you in your daily life.
