on how supposedly most our brains work - i.e. it is easier to be pessimistic and get stuck in that energy, than being positive - and how to help shifting from negative to positive thought patterns! (N.B. obviously if we belief that thoughts can help create, we have to be careful to not accept these teachings in so far as to belief that this modelling is unchangeable! I.e. whereas I am not free of anxiety, over the course of the last 20 years my brain and thinking have become more flexible, and more negative thinking resistant! And I am anticipating that this will keep improving, and that perhaps some day negative thoughts/ emotions will not disaffect me at all anymore!)

.about potential massage benefits...

feel very welcome to join me....

Join with organizations including Unify, Uplift Connect, Be The Peace, Earthdance, the International Day of Peace and others from September 17-24th for a week of honoring, celebrating, mobilizing, and BEING peace through gathering in thousands of local events around the world. Culminating in a WORLD PEACE MEDITATION at 4pm PDT/ 11pm GMT on September 24th/ (0:00 BST (25th Sep) in the U.K. - that is 12am/ midnight) I thought I'd create a London (UK) event for the 24th Sep - The Great Silence, a Global Synchronized Meditation for Peace. So weather permitting, I'll be sitting in Westbourne Green Open Space, W2, London (opposite Royal Oak Tube Station). Feel very welcome to join me. For maps see here (I mean the biggest part, opposite Royal Oak tube): http://myparks.westminster.gov.uk/parks/westbourne-green-open-space/ & https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.5204163,-0.1878225,17z Arrive: 23:50 (24/9/2016) Sit in Silence for World Peace: 0:00 (25/9/2016) Finish and Depart : 0:30 (25/9/2016) Please be mindful of noise levels (arriving + departing), as Westbourne Green Open Space is in a residential area. Meditation can be done anywhere, so if you cannot make it to this location, or the weather is dismal, we will still be united, even just sitting wherever we are, meditating for peace at this time. All levels of meditation experience are welcome. If you have no, or little meditation experience, that is perfectly alright! Just sit with us in silence. Ideally you just say a little prayer beforehand, such as: "I dedicate this meditation to World Peace, and offer my body as a channel to energies of unconditional Love and Peace during." https://www.facebook.com/upliftconnect/videos/873867459416903/ www.goodenergyhealing.co.uk

If it is true, it is damn impressive. It would mean that age-related scoliosis is reversible, and I would think that yoga would just be one tool to get there (other massage and stretching therapies might work just as well....)

General Research into (Upper) Trapezius/ Shoulder pain and Sports Massage (Techniques) The following is general research conducted for a Sportsmassage Diploma case study.

Research into Hamstring Strain and Sports Massage Most research into Hamstring Strain Treatment seems to just consider exercise and stretching rehabilitation programs, not mentioning massage at all. I have stumbled across only one Sports Massage technique used to treat Hamstring Strains, i.e. Cross Fibre Frictions/ Deep Transverse Massage. The following will discuss Hamstring Strain injuries, signs and symptoms, BTEC - Diploma in Sports Massage taught treatment options and compare them to found publication(s) about Cross Fibre Friction treatments. http://goodenergyhealing.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/research-into-hamstring-strain-and.html

Research into the effectiveness of Massage Therapies for Parkinson’s patients: The following is general research conducted for a Sportsmassage Diploma case study. I this case mainly the clients shoulders, arms and back were treated (over the course of 4 treatments), but the patient's underlying condition, leading to muscle stiffness, is Parkinson's, so I decide to research the potential benefit of Massage Therapy for Parkinson’s patients.
