How to Use Shiatsu for a Tension Headache

How to Use Shiatsu for a Tension Headache



Tension headaches are often triggered by excess work and/or excess emotional stress that continue over a period of time, leaving your body tense and fatigued. Use the following shiatsu points along the base of the skull and on the neck to release chronic muscle tension, calm the nervous system and promote the flow of congested energy down and out of the head.







Tension Headache Points




1


Relax and strengthen the tendons, clear stuck energy, and soften your stiff neck as you press the five points located under the base of your skull with the pad of your thumb. Begin at the center of the back of your head with your right thumb and move to the right one finger-width at a time to press each point.





2


Repeat using your left hand to apply pressure along the left side of your skull.





3


Stimulate the point often felt as a hard knot on the top of your shoulder where your neck curves upward to release neck and shoulder tension.





4


Release neck and shoulder tension and remove stiffness from your spine as you apply pressure to the point located just before your knuckle on the pinkie side of your hand.





5


Eliminate the pain of a tension headache by pressing on the outer heel bone between the ankle and the Achilles tendon to release tension and move congested energy away from the neck and shoulders.



Tension Release Points




1


Clear the congestion and tension from your head by applying pressure to the central calming point on the top of your head. Place your thumbs on the tops of your ears, bring your index fingers one over the other on the top of your head and apply pressure.





2


Apply pressure to the point at the web between your thumb and index finger on the back side of your hand to release tension in the jaw, neck and shoulders. Press toward your index finger with the pad of your opposite thumb.





3


Slide your middle finger to the area on top of the foot between the first and second toes where the small bones merge. Apply gentle pressure and movement to promote the smooth flow of energy, to release muscle cramps and spasms and to release tension.








Tips & Warnings










Applying pressure to the tension release points stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system to calm and quiet the body and mind.








Avoid the calming point on top of your head if you have high blood pressure, or hypertension.








Avoid using the point at the web of your index finger and thumb if you are pregnant.








Notify a physician immediately if you experience sudden headache; headache accompanied by blurred or double vision, confusion, or motor and sensory loss; or a highly localized headache.








Fever and neck stiffness accompanying a headache may indicate meningitis.








If you have any questions or concerns, contact a physician or other healthcare professional before engaging in any activity related to health and diet. This information is not intended as a substitute for professional medical advice or treatment.

How to Use Shiatsu for a Sinus Headache

How to Use Shiatsu for a Sinus Headache



Shiatsu applies pressure to the meridians (energy pathways) to open blocked nasal and sinus passages and relieve the pain and discomfort of sinusitis.










1


Use the pads of your index fingers to press under the bony ridge at the inner edge of your eyebrow to ease the eye pain and fatigue associated with increased sinus pressure.





2


Relieve frontal sinus pain by applying pressure to the point on the back of your hand at the web between your thumb and index finger.





3


Locate the point just below the cheekbone and level with the pupil of your eye as you look straight ahead. Press upward to relieve nasal and head congestion as well as pressure from behind the eyes and eye fatigue.





4


Promote relief from a frontal headache (forehead) and release pressure from behind your eyes by using your thumb pads to apply pressure to your forehead approximately one finger-width above your eyebrow and level with the pupil of your eye.





5


Decrease inflammation and clear your stuffy, runny nose by pressing your index fingers to the outer borders of the nose where the nasal flesh meets the face. Hold the pressure for five to seven breaths to open the nasal passages.





6


Find relief from sinus headaches and allergy symptoms by stimulating the area on top of the foot where the bones between the big toe and the second toe merge.








Tips & Warnings










Use steps 1 through 3 to open sinus blockage.








Holding step 2 for at least two minutes will release congestion in the head and digestive tract to alleviate the pressure of a sinus headache.








Vaporizing your sinuses with humidified steam helps to promote sinus drainage.








Take an aromatherapy bath with 20 drops of equal parts tea tree,
lavender
and eucalyptus oils to promote drainage of the sinuses, decrease inflammation and open the nasal passages.








Omit step 2 for pregnant women as it may stimulate premature uterine contractions.








Allergies to yeast (candida), milk, wheat, and eggs are common to those with chronic sinusitis. If you feel you may suffer from food allergies, consult with your physician.

How to Use Shiatsu for a Migraine Headache

How to Use Shiatsu for a Migraine Headache



Migraine headaches are vascular headaches that are frequently accompanied by visual disturbances, as well as nausea and vomiting. Shiatsu will release congested energy and blood from the head and promote the natural flow of digestion to ease the pain.







Things You'll Need:





Aromatherapy Votive Candles




Tiger Balm




Peppermint Oils









1


Clear head tension and congestion by placing your thumbs on top of your ears and bringing your index fingers one over the other on the top of your head. Apply pressure to this point using your index or middle finger.





2


Use the pad of your thumb or middle finger to apply pressure under the bony ridge at the base of the skull, approximately 1 inch away from your spine, to clear stuck energy.





3


Clear your mind and release tension by pressing and gently massaging the point on the center of your forehead between your eyebrows.





4


Release the pressure from behind your eyes as you apply pressure to the point found at the outer corner of your eye, just behind the bone.





5


Relieve nausea and promote circulation to your hands and feet by squeezing the back side of your hand at the fleshy mound between your thumb and index finger. Press the top of the mound toward your index finger with the pad of your opposite thumb.





6


Promote the flow of energy and the circulation of blood, release cramps and spasms, relieve migraines, and calm the nervous system as you apply gentle pressure and movement to the point on top of your foot where the bones between your big toe and second toe merge.








Tips & Warnings










If you are extremely nauseated or have very cold hands and feet, you will benefit from beginning with the points on your feet and moving toward the head. This promotes the flow of energy away from the head and encourages digestion to flow downward to alleviate nausea.








Migraines are sometimes triggered by fluctuations in hormone levels, specifically estrogen levels. These headaches tend to occur just before or at the end of the menstrual cycle. For these migraines, the application of progesterone cream helps to alleviate the estrogen/progesterone imbalance and may completely resolve the headache. Consult your physician or health care provider if this migraine pattern applies to you.








Since a migraine is a vascular headache, fluctuation of hot and cold (bath to shower) is valuable to release a headache. The cold brings your body to its greatest constriction, so it may let go and release the headache.








Avoid step 1 if you have high blood pressure.








Avoid step 5 if you are pregnant.








Migraines often increase sensitivity to light, and bright light may aggravate symptoms.








When applying pressure to the head, be gentle and don't overstimulate the points. Overstimulating draws more energy and blood to the head.








If your headache is severe or lasts more than two days, or if you have blurred or double vision, consult a physician immediately.

How to Use Energy Healing to Increase Concentration

How to Use Energy Healing to Increase Concentration



Energy healing is a holistic alternative to orthodox medicine. It is non-invasive and focuses on the general well-being of the patient through the 'energy body.' It is used to heal conditions like stress, and stress-related problems like anxiety, high blood pressure and lack of concentration.







Learn About Your Energy Field




1


Know that your energy field is made up of your aura and your chakra system.





2


Imagine your aura as a light that surrounds you in every direction.





3


Think of your 7 chakras as the pores of your aura that control the flow of energy in and out of the energy field.





4


Be aware that, although invisible, your energy field is connected to your physical organs. The state of your energy field decides the state of your physical body.





5


Know that any blockage in the energy field will deplete the energy and make the body susceptible to disease. Among other things, energy blocks are caused by negative emotions, trauma and lack of exercise. The proper flow of energy through the body leads to improved concentration as a result of good mental health, physical health and balance.



Increase Your Concentration Through Energy Healing




1


Use the energy healing technique you prefer. Popular energy healing techniques include Reiki, Therapeutic Touch, Pranic Healing and Chios. The International Center for Reiki Training offers a lot of useful information on Reiki (see Resources below).





2


Search for an energy healer who practices the healing form of your choice. Most healers, if certified in different forms, usually follow their intuition when healing and will use a combination of the techniques they know.





3


Discuss your expectations with your healer at your appointment. The fee for treatment could be anything from moderate to high. Some practitioners charge on a sliding scale.





4


Lie down or sit comfortably for the treatment.





5


Relax while the practitioner performs the healing process.



Know What to Expect After Treatment




1


Be prepared for an emotional release. The expression of release from the removal of the energy blocks may vary from laughter to tears.





2


Know that the effects of the treatment may continue for a few days as toxins are released. Drink lots of water to flush the toxins out.





3


Increase what you know about energy healing with the Internet. "Of Spirit" is an online magazine with many articles on energy healing (see Resources below).








Tips & Warnings










Prepare for your healing session by fully intending to receive whatever healing is given to you.








Seek the attention of a medical doctor or go to an emergency room if you are experiencing a panic attack, chest pains, heat stroke or vomiting blood. Call 911 for immediate help.








Before you start any alternative medical technique, be aware that many have not been scientifically evaluated. Often, only limited information is available about their safety and effectiveness. Each state and each discipline has its own rules about how alternative medicine practitioners can be professionally licensed. If you decide to visit one, choose one licensed by a recognized national organization. Consult your primary healthcare provider about your decision first. Keep your doctor informed about the alternative medical technique you undertake.

How to Look Thinner in a Bathing Suit

How to Look Thinner in a Bathing Suit



Bathing suits are not known to be the most flattering of attire for women over a size 4. Generally, they provide too little material and what fabric there is clings like a second skin. Give credit where it is due--women do not give up when it comes to swim attire. They do not while away gorgeous summers clothed from head to toe. Instead, they find ways to look thinner in bathing suits.







Things You'll Need:





Bathing suit with skirt or built-in control panel



Sandals with heels



Body measurements



Sarong









Step
1



Pick a bathing suit that fits you well. Accurately measure your body and check a size chart to get started. Then, try on suits in that size to see how well they fit. Bend and stretch in front of a mirror to make sure the suit stays in place and no bulges appear doing movement.




Step
2



Choose a dark-colored, solid one-piece swimsuit to appear thinner. Dark colors are more camouflaging, while prints and bright colors accentuate body size.




Step
3



Make sure you stand up straight, hold your shoulders back and keep your tummy tucked when wearing a bathing suit. Good posture will make you appear longer and leaner.




Step
4



Avoid wearing tankinis, as these will "break up" the body and make you look shorter and heavier. You want a suit with a continuous line to give you a svelte look.




Step
5



Wear heeled

sandals


with your suit to help you look slimmer. These popular height-elevating pieces of footwear will make your legs appear longer and thinner.




Step
6



Tan your body before you wear your bathing suit. A tanned body looks smaller than a pasty one. Take care of
your
skin


with a good moisturizer, as clear skin is attractive and draws attention to your positive features.




Step
7



Pick a bathing suit with a skirt to make your lower body look thinner. To minimize your bust, pick a suit that is straight across the top.




Step
8



Minimize a big stomach with a bathing suit that has a built-in control panel. Alternatively, you can reduce the appearance of a large tummy with a suit that drapes across that area.







Tips & Warnings









Have your hair cut in a nice style, and wear a small amount of natural-toned makeup to draw attention up to your face.








Tie a fashionable sarong around your waist to make it look smaller and to cover up a heavy lower body.








Stay away from boy short bottoms if you want your legs to look thinner.

Step
3



Look at your figure. Decide which points you want to emphasize and which you want to hide.




Step
4



Take a hard look at the contents of your closet. Find the clothes with flattering colors and styles. Give the rest away.




Step

Step
6



Take good care of your clothes so they will last. Press when necessary. Hang them up when you take them off. Wash or dry clean. Polish your shoes regularly.







Tips & Warnings









If you have a tactful friend with a good eye, ask advice if you need it.








Have clothes altered if they don't fit.








Wear foundation garments that fit well.








Colors that don't look best next to your face can still be worn in skirts or trousers.








Always sit and stand with good posture.








Don't forget perfume or cologne water for a final touch.








These days, stores sell clothes for all figure types so don't waste time trying to fit into something that's not suited for you.








If you can't decide if a garment is right for you, it's probably not.

How to Look Stylish in a Cardigan

How to Look Stylish in a Cardigan



As the first signs of spring arrive and you shed your heavy coat to make way for lighter fashion, there are still days that you'll need a little extra insulation when the

temperature


drops. Instead of bringing that wool coat out of storage, why not throw on a stylish cardigan? The cardigans of today are not like grandma's sweaters but have a style and flair all their own. Plus, they're so versatile! Wearing a cardigan can take you from a casual spring day on the beach to an evening out at a restaurant with great panache. Here are some tips for getting stylish wear out of the "oh so versatile" cardigan.









Step
1



Choose an oversized cotton cardigan for casual spring wear.

Nothing feels better for a cool walk on the beach than a tee shirt, a pair of cotton
Capri
pants


and a long, oversized, cotton cardigan. Choose a length extending several inches above your knee for a fashion forward look. A solid color will coordinate beautifully with your other casual spring clothing. If you want a slightly different look, opt for a thick horizontal stripe in black and white or black and khaki. Don't forget to add a chunky eclectic necklace. One made with large wood or ceramic beads will add an earthy look.




Step
2



Add a belt.

Petite people sometimes find a cardigan to be overwhelming. One way to give a cardigan more structure is to add an interesting belt. This can be an excellent way for a petite person to show off a tiny waist. If you have belts in your closet that you haven't known what to do with, get them out and experiment by wearing them over a long cardigan.




Step
3



Use it to layer.

You can really expand the depth and versatility of your wardrobe without spending money by layering items you already have. A cardigan provides the perfect finishing touch for that layered look. Just one cardigan can multiply your fashion options many times. Try belting a long cardigan over a skirt and silk top. Wear a long, loose one over your favorite black dress. A cardigan can add a whole new dimension to your standard office attire. Open your closet and start experimenting by adding a cardigan to your usual outfits and see what works for you.




Step
4



Button or unbutton?

The look of a cardigan can vary depending on how many buttons you button. If you button it all the way, you can add an interesting belt or a scarf to complete the look. For a more casual look leave it open and add some interesting jewelry at the neck line. Experiment with buttoning just the top button or two for a casual, fashion forward look. It'll be one of the most versatile pieces in your wardrobe.




Step
5



It's perfect for a cool restaurant.

If you're going out for the evening, take along a cardigan. Restaurants are known for being uncomfortably cold and you can feel comfortable and still look stylish when you slip on your stylish cardigan.

How to Look Slimmer in Pants

How to Look Slimmer in Pants



Even if you're carrying a few extra pounds, you can slimmer in pants by following a few simple fashion rules. Here's how to look sleek and svelte when wearing pants.









Step
1



To look slimmer in pants, avoid pants with pleats in the front. They tend to add unnecessary bulk and draw attention to excess weight in the tummy.




Step
2



Choose pants with a slight flair in the legs. This will help to balance out wider hips and give an overall slimming effect.




Step
3



Wear dark pants when possible. Dark colors cause an area to recede in size. You'll give the illusion of being slimmer.




Step
4



Wear a slight heel with pants. Flat shoes tend to shorten your legs and give a stockier appearance to the lower body. Instead, choose a two to three inch heel.




Step
5



Coordinate hose and shoes with your pants color. Keep the lower body as monochromatic as possible from waist to toes for a slimming effect.




Step
6



Avoid high waisted pants as they can make you look stocky. Instead choose ones that start about an inch below your navel.

How to Look Slender with Fashion Tricks

How to Look Slender with Fashion Tricks



Face it--we are a society that over-emphasizes the outer appearance. There is this inner need to always look good and hurt ourselves when we do not. So, when we notice that our little pinky finger seems to have put on some extra weight, it is off to diet haven. Unfortunately, the problem does not necessarily stem from extra pounds but rather the fashion styles we admire and long to wear. The styles of today are not made for every body type; so instead of beating yourself up for not looking good in the latest fads, why not use what you have and look slender with fashion tricks?









Step
1



Choose clothing wisely. Take the extra time to try on clothes before making the purchase. Too often, we rush in and out of stores and think that if the outfit looked good on the mannequin and it is our size, then it will also look as flattering when we put it on. This is not always the case. When you get the outfit home, put it on and look in the mirror you see a mess. So take the time to make sure the clothes you buy will look good on your body type.




Step
2



Take the time to have clothing altered. When a piece of clothing is poorly fitted, it can bring attention to all the obvious body flaws. Trying to squeeze into an outfit that is too small or jumping into an outfit that is way too big are recipes for clothing disasters and are definitely unflattering. But when an outfit is sized and fitted properly, it can make a person look slender.




Step
3



Refrain from wearing bold and busy prints. This will definitely bring attention to all those areas that we tend to want to slenderize. Instead, go with dark solid colors. Black is your friend, and it has the ability to conceal most body types, making a person appear slender. However, do not get into overusing the color black in a wardrobe. It is important to vary the colors that are worn, so add in some dark browns, charcoal grays and olive greens to maintain a variety of apparel that will help the body appear slender.




Step
4



Get a tan. Okay, I know we hear lots about the damages the sun can do to the skin, and it is all true. But there are many sunless tanning products on the market today that give a person that tropical sun-kissed tan all year round.




Step
5



Learn to use accessories to look slender. Using long necklaces or wide belts can often distract the eye from seeing problem areas. Also, bulky, oversized hand bags that are strategically placed will conceal problem areas like the abdomen.




Step
6



Try the layered look. Concealing bulges behind a hip-length or longer jacket is an easy way to fool the eye into seeing slender.




Step
7



Buy a few outfits that are designed to slender. These items would include properly fitted black pants, A-Line skirts, Empire-waist dresses, belted jackets and tunic tops. All these pieces of clothing are designed to give an appearance of slender even when you are not.







Tips & Warnings









So, you have a few problem areas. So, you have a few extra pounds. It is no excuse to let you look sloppy and unkempt. Take the time to fit clothing properly to your body type, take care of hair and skin and maintain a positive attitude, and you will look good no matter what. Make sure to choose clothing that does not bring attention to those problem areas.

How to Look Sexy in Plus Sized Clothes

How to Look Sexy in Plus Sized Clothes



Just because you aren't thin doesn't mean that you should wear a shapeless tent or settle on frumpy, poorly made clothing. It can seem difficult to find stylish plus size clothing, but designers are finally wising up, and now you can look great no matter what size you wear.









Step
1



Stay up on current trends in fashion. Read magazines or keep an eye on the runway. Instead of trying to replicate the look, pay attention to the overall shape, color, and texture of the outfit. Is the focus on menswear, pencil skirts, or flowing sleeves? Pick one aspect that you liked best and find a way to work that one trend into your wardrobe.




Step
2



Keep it simple, sweetheart. Buy basic wardrobe essentials like great fitting dark denim jeans, a black shell, and an oxford shirt or structured blazer. Replace these pieces as they wear out with the most up-to-date cut. For instance, a cropped blazer or whisker washed jean may be okay now, but in three years that cut and wash will change so "upgrade" accordingly.




Step
3



Invest in a not-so-little black dress. To find a dress that make you look your best, be prepared to spend some dough. A discount rack spandex number isn't flattering on anybody, no matter what size. Find something that plays up your best features and has structure with a little bit of stretch. A three-quarter length sleeve wrap dress that hits at mid-calf will look lovely on most curvy women




Step
4



Overcome the desire to buy articles of clothing that you were never meant to wear. Yes, it is frustrating to stand in a store staring at the exact pair of knee high boots you've always wanted, knowing that it won't fit properly. But don't buy it out of spite. Do some research and find the item that you're looking for somewhere else in the right fit, and you'll be able to flaunt it all over time. Never compromise on the clothes you love.




Step
5



Measure yourself once a year, and don't be afraid to yo-yo a little. Every label sizes their clothes a little differently, so try on different sizes to get the best fit. Never wear clothing that is too big for you, because it only makes you look bigger and hides your best features.




Step
6



Buy high quality foundation garments and shapewear for special occasions and to minimize the jiggles. It will instantly make you appear more toned and trim and boost your confidence. Also buy beautiful bras, panties, and lingerie to make you feel like a goddess. At the end of the day, the best way to look sexy at any size is to believe that you're sexy and have the confidence to strut your stuff. Every woman is beautiful in her own light, so find yours.

How to Look Sexy in Plus Size Lingerie

How to Look Sexy in Plus Size Lingerie



There is no size limit to looking sexy and feeling fabulous. There is, however, a bit of a bias when it comes to making lingerie. The designers seem to favor thin women, which can make it frustrating to find lingerie that is well-cut, flattering, and sexy. The good news is that things are changing and there are plenty of wonderful retailers and online stores that sell gorgeous plus size lingerie.









Step
1



Buy the basics first. A beautiful bra that fits well and matching panties are every woman's lingerie version of jeans and a t-shirt. You also should buy a beautiful silk kimono or longer robe that is a little loose and makes you feel gorgeous when you wrap it around your body.




Step
2



Find sexy plus size hosiery. Look for thigh highs, fishnets, body stockings, seamed, and printed hose that fit you perfectly. The last thing you need is to have your thigh highs rolling down or your hose riding up.




Step
3



Invest in a beautiful teddy with a built-in corset and matching garter belt set. This usually looks great on curvy women. Make sure that your lingerie has good structure and firmer stretch so that it will look more flattering.




Step
4



Dare to try something new. Buy a sexy costume that flatters your curves or a daring ensemble that makes you feel powerful and sexy. Looking sexy in plus size lingerie is all about loving your body and feeling beautiful. It all boils down to confidence, the sexiest thing any woman can wear.

How to Look Sexy in a Fashionable Way

How to Look Sexy in a Fashionable Way



It is difficult to differentiate between trashy and sexy for some woman. If you want to show a bit of cleavage to get some pleasant attention, it is best not to show all of it. While it is nice to look sexy, it is important to remember that it is always best to keep some things to the imagination. Follow these simple steps to look sexy in a fashionable way.









Step
1



Wear a blouse with some lace or ruffles on it. If you want to show some cleavage to get the sexy look, just be sure to show only a little bit of it. You don't want your entire chest hanging out for guys to gawk at. This will quickly give you a reputation that you may not want.




Step
2



Accent your cleavage with a nice

necklace


. This will add a bit of fashionable sophistication to your appearance. Men will more likely have their attention taken away from the cleavage if they have another focal point to look at.




Step
3



Show off your legs in a mini skirt. Be sure that the skirt isn't so short that your rear end shows when you bend over. If you are wearing a mini skirt, wear a top that compliments the skirt and that covers your chest fully. You want to leave some things up to the imagination.




Step
4



Apply enough

makeup


to make your look sexy and beautiful, but don't overdo it. You don't want to wear very bright lipstick along with heavy eye makeup and blush. If you want to wear bright lipstick, do this with minimal makeup everywhere else.




Step
5



Act mature and don't look for attention. Many times the girls who are dying for attention are the ones who come off as easy or trashy.
