Casual Articles - The 3 Secret Questions Revealed You Must Ask to Choose the Best Massage Therapy School for You!
You have probably heard of both term life insurance and whole life insurance. Some people are buying term, some people are buying life, and you are just trying to figure out the difference between the two so you will know which life insurance will better fit your needs.Let’s start with the most commonly purchased and often considered the more practical of the two, term life insurance. Although term life insurance expires without maturity and its premiums increase at the time of renewal depending on your age, it is still considered a great option for people with temporary or short time insurance needs, people who are just beginning in the work force and do not have much money to spend on life insurance, and/or people who foresee their insurance needs changing in the future. It is generally less expensive than whole life insurance and you can choose the exact time period you want to be covered.Whole life insurance, on the other hand, insures you for your entire life. A whole life insurance policy usually has fixed premiums and can be cashed in or turned into cash advances. Sometimes whole life insur
Imagine if you were a hair stylist but were only taught how to cut one style of hair. Let's say a bowl-cut. Two things would happen. One, you would get very bored and two, not all of your clients would want that particular style. One style does not fit all.
The same goes for your massage therapy clients. Each of them will need different styles depending on who they are and what they need from their massage therapy session. Some will need the energizing effects of Shiatsu. Some will need the deeper work of Neuro-muscular therapy. Some clients may need the clearing work of polarity. Make sure t
A few tips to make the miracle a little easier A hundred years ago, it was a feat to get the simplest message across country. But today, with the widespread use of the Internet and the telephone, it is easy to express the appropriate sentiment to almost anyone in the world by sending a thoughtful gift of carefully selected flowers. You can order flowers by phone, online, by fax, or at your favorite local florist, with flower delivery available around the world. And just as technology has made the process easier, so will these quick tips.Same day delivery Most leading florists provide same day delivery nationwide, as long as you order by mid-day. This is especially useful for sudden emergencies or forgotten occasions. But whenever possible, it's a good idea to order flowers one or two days in advance, particularly at Valentine's and Mother's Day, or similar gift-giving occasions. In addition, you may want to consider having your flowers delivered the afternoon before a particular event, both to ensure they are are enjoyed throughout the big day and to provide a cushion for redelive
People have told you that you're good with your hands! You love making people feel good and you would love making money while you do!
So now you say to yourself, "I need to find the right school for me."
You start calling schools and every single school tells you they are the best school and each school claims that when you graduate you'll have all the skills you need to start your exciting new career. Wow! An exciting new career awaits you!
But whoa! Stop! Hold your horses! Which school do you pick? They all say they're the best! Can they all be? Can they all be the best for you?
How do you choose the school that will give you the highest level of training so you'll be one of the most sought after massage therapists in the field?
How will you know the difference between a school that offers you an exceptional education and a school that offers you a slick marketing campaign but gives you a mediocre education?
Well, I've got a secret. I've worked on the inside as an "Admissions Director" in a number of schools from big corporate schools to small schools and I know what they do to try to "convince you" to go to their school regardless of the quality of education you'll receive and regardless of what would be best for you!
They don't want you to know the inside secrets which I'm about to share with you.
Now, don't get me wrong, there a number of exceptional massage therapy schools throughout the country and the 3 powerful questions you'll receive momentarily will help you find those diamonds amongst the glass!
Here's more of the secret! All massage therapy schools are a business. Well, nothings wrong with that, but the problem comes when a school cares more about the bottom line than the success of their students.
So what do some schools do? Sometimes they invest more money in their marketing than they do in the quality of your education. Why would any school do that? It's a whole lot easier to create slick marketing ads than it is to create an exceptional curriculum and education!
A number of schools pay big bucks to giant marketing companies to spin their school so you will enroll! What are most people impressed by? Pretty, shiny brochures, with pretty shiny people in it and polished sales presentations.
Now there's nothing wrong with all that, but will any of those marketing devices really let you know the true quality of education you'll actually receive?
No, but people usually base their decision to enroll in a school based on the sales pitch they are given and if they "like" the "admissions advisor". Now some of you may know this already, but the titles; "admissions rep" or admissions advisor are simply fancy names for trained sales people that have big quotas to meet and in some schools you are simply a number to help them meet that quota! I should know, I used to train them!
Now even though your "admissions rep" may be a really wonderful person, how can you possibly know the quality of the education you'll receive from a person telling you what they want you to hear.
This brings us to the 3 powerful, secret questions you *must* ask to find the truly exceptional school:
#1. How many modalities will you be able to *practice* upon graduation? (A modality is a style of massage)
Why is it so important to learn multiple modalities? If you only learn one style of massage, you will be working in the same way every day. If you do anything repetitively, you risk injury or burnout and with only one style of massage, believe me, you will get burned out! If you learn multiple styles you will enjoy massaging your clients for years!

If you’ve been asked to write a letter to help with fundraising for a group or charity that you’re involved with, you may be staring at a blank piece of paper wondering just what to write.Here’s an actual letter that was used to raise a substantial sum towards a refit of church equipment and was sent to local trusts and grant-making bodies.It’s important to keep your letter to just one page, with supporting information of no more than two pages. Include one photo if you wish and if it’s relevant.Don’t resort to begging, but write an informative letter which helps the donor to understand what your projects aims and goals are.Although this is an actual letter, names and information has been changed, for obvious reasons.Dear Mr BentleyI am writing to Bentley Charity Trust on behalf of Finedown Baptist Church, as your guidelines indicate that you offer support for churches.Finedown is a rapidly growing town situated in central Flintshire.

Your job is to rise ABOVE the challenge. Do more than is expected. Say nothing negative about anyone or anything. Yes, that is easier said than done for most of us. Still, it is simply good advice for all. You never have to watch your backside when there are no boomerangs returning.DRIVE A NAILJust today I was reading about a Dad who made his son drive a nail into the fence every time his temper flared. After about 37 nails hammered into the fence the young fellow decided to curtail his outbursts. Every time the son contained his temper Dad let him go to the fence and pull out a nail.For a moment, lets look at the fence together. What do you see? That’s right, an unsightly fence with lots of holes in it. Point is… our outburst or tantrums…. criticisms or put-downs…. will always leave lasting holes/scars.Most of us have wishes and regrets in the past. Probably wish we could retract those unkind words unfurled in a moment of anger. Can’t do it! Permanent for all to see.Gossip is hurtful too. Sometimes it’s real “juicy” stuff. Then it gains momentum. Next person “kin

If you are involved in writing texts that will (or might) eventually be translated into other languages, there are a number of pitfalls to avoid. Just because you wrote your article, user's manual or website in good, grammatical English does not mean it is suitable for the global marketplace. I have often seen it in my years in technical translation and software localization – texts that sounded fine in English, but caused all kinds of problems in translation.Here are some of the issues you should consider:Watch your baseball metaphors: Even technical and business writing is often full of references to sports, from "home runs" and "ninth innings" to "Monday-morning quarterbacking". As these sports might not be popular in the target culture, the metaphors will be difficult to translate.Puns are funny, but they rarely work in another language. Robert Frost once stated that "Poetry is what gets lost in translation", but the same might be said about puns. Puns work on the similarity of sound, as when Shakespeare in Richard III plays with son/sun ("made glorious summer by this so

Who needs a mortgage? Well, nearly everyone in North America who plans to own their own home. Interestingly enough, when you look at the Latin roots of the word “mortgage”, you’ll find two terms – mortuus which means death, and gage which means grip. So the term “mortgage” actually means death grip… pretty fitting when you think about it.Nobody WANTS a mortgage, but most people do find themselves needing one in order to purchase a home. Very few people would consider themselves “mortgage experts” however – and most of those who would call themselves that are the ones selling a mortgage…which means that they’re probably not your best bet for solid advice.When looking for a mortgage, many creatively named fees tend to show up, such as an “underwriting fee”, a “document review fee”, “loan preparation or origination” fee, and more. These fees are unnecessary, and often not included in a mortgage broker’s ‘good faith’ assessments beforehand. Depending on your broker, they may present you with the new fees in addition to your mortgage as indicated in their assessment, and give you the “take it or leave it”

Some will need the energizing effects of Shiatsu. Some will need the deeper work of Neuro-muscular therapy. Some clients may need the clearing work of polarity. Make sure the school you select offers multiple modalities!
Now here's another secret! A slick marketing trick that a number of schools use. Most schools offer only one type of massage training and little teaser intros on some other types during your education. They usually include these teasers in their brochures and presentations. You will probably think you learn all of those styles during your training but in reality, they do *not* teach you the other styles. You will only be qualified to practice *one* type of massage upon your graduation.
Remember, ask the school how many modalities you will be qualified to practice when you graduate!
#2. How does the school teach body mechanics, that is how will they teach you the techniques of massaging clients so you won't burn-out?
Did you know that over 100,000 new massage therapists have left the field in the last 4 years? Why? Simple answer. Because of burnout. They were not taught the proper way of using their bodies to massage their clients. Make sure the school you select can clearly explain to you how they'll teach you good body mechanics.
#3. Does the school offer a holistic approach to your training and have them explain it to you. (This is the MOST important question because most schools teach a one dimensional technical approach.)
You need to decide if you want a technical training, which teaches you how to do a technical massage which is very one dimensional or a holistic training which teaches multiple modalities and has a multi-dimensional approach.
Graduates of technical based massage therapy schools receive a competent knowledge of the body and learn a thorough technical approach to giving massages to their clients, but they tend to give their clients impersonal, technical massages. They simply learn how to move muscles around.
Graduates of a holistic training not only learn the science of massage, you will actually transform as a person which will make you a better therapist. From that foundation you can then transform your client during their massage session.
How will you transform as a person you may ask? A holistic massage therapy school teaches you from a Mind/Body/Spirit approach that is heart-centered and takes into account the entire person not simply their muscles. It's not just what techniques you use in a massage that matter, but how you apply those techniques. The "how" involves the kind of environment you create during your session so your client feels safe and open to receive your massage.
That massage would then be called a "Mindful Massage". Being mindful means you learn how to become calm, centered, open-hearted and fully focused on your client throughout the massage. Mindfulness also involves being "embodied." Embodiment means you are not just in your "head" but alive and aware in your body and connected with the entire Wisdom of your Being. All of this allows you to trust your intuition to create a unique massage every time for your client instead of the same "routine."
Your clients will receive a much deeper experience from someone who is trained in the holistic approach. If you have a client that has only known the technical massage, they will be absolutely blown away by the multi- dimensional, heart centered holistic massage that you give them!
In a technical massage the massage therapist works "on" you. In a heart-centered holistic massage, the therapist works "with" you.
