Acupressure
With A Porpoise
by Nancy Wright
The night before my first dolphin encounter
I tried making contact with the Dolphin Diva, essence of dolphin energy,
on the great cosmic telephone through meditation. It seemed like a good
idea to make allies of the huge creatures I'd be swimming in the ocean
with the next day at Isleta Mujeres, a small island off the coast of
Cancun.

Students Discover Unexpected Reward At
The Acupressure Therapy Institute
By
Bob Olson, OfSpirit.com Editor
Upon attending an open house at Barbara Blanchard’s Acupressure
Therapy Institute (ATI), I discovered an unexpected benefit to
learning about energy. I went to the lecture and demonstration
anticipating a rather predictable discussion on the benefits of
acupressure shiatsu. What I learned, however, came as a surprise. I
discovered how students of acupressure shiatsu gained much more than an
education toward a new fulfilling career; they also gained an education
about something that would forever improve their personal lives, as well.

Healing Benefits Of A Massage Alternative Put To The Test... Results
Surprisingly Positive!
by Bob Olson, OfSpirit.com Editor
You’d think the editor of a holistic magazine would be knowledgeable
about things like shiatsu, reiki or polarity, but nobody can really
understand something until they have personally experienced it. Now that
I’ve experienced a bodywork session that utilized all three of these
modalities, I’m unexpectedly hooked. All my previous misconceptions have
been shamefully proven wrong, and I now understand why people are using
their lunch hours to relax and rebalance with an energy bodywork session.

What is Acupressure Shiatsu?
by Barbara Blanchard, Lic.Ac.,
Dipl.Ac.
Asian bodywork therapy, acupuncture and
Chinese herbs are the three major healing arts of Chinese medicine.
Acupressure is a recognized style of Asian bodywork therapy certified by
the national professional association, the American Oriental Bodywork
Therapy Association (AOBTA).
Acupressure is a healing modality that
emphasizes balancing the energy body or energy system with the physical
body, mind, and spirit. An integral part of Chinese medicine, acupressure
is similar to acupuncture except that it uses the hands rather than
needles to adjust energy flow. Students of acupressure learn the same
meridians and acupoints that are used in acupuncture as well as the Asian
bodywork therapy known as shiatsu (from the Japanese "shi"
finger, and "atsu" pressure).

Natural Health for African Americans: The
Physicians' Guide
by Marcellus A. Walker and Kenneth B. Singleton
In our age of "political
correctness," many people consider it inappropriate to separate
people on the basis of race. But, however unpopular it may be, when it
comes to health, race really does matter. It matters because African
Americans are more likely than people of other races to die a premature
death. According to the statisticians, there is an 8.5year difference in
the median survival rate between white and black males and a 5.9-year gap
between white and black females.

Life Energy and Healing:
"The Nerve, Meridian
and Chakra Systems and the CSF Connection"
by Dr. Don Glassey
Life energy, in the form of cerebrospinal
fluid, flows within, through and around the body over three inter-related
and interconnected energy systems that interface with each other. The
three energy systems are, from a gross to a subtler and more refined
level, the nervous, the meridian, and the chakra systems.

How To Receive Bodywork
by Carol Bedrosian
Although there are as many different kinds
of bodywork as there are cold remedies on the drug store shelf, some basic
information on receiving bodywork in general can be helpful. Since most of
us grew up with the "sickness" model of healthcare—-we only
visited the doctor when we were sick and therefore under stress and not
feeling up to our fullest capacity—our experience in caring for our
health has been a disempowering and mystifying one.
