In Europe, for any modality within psychotherapy to be accepted as “scientific,” it must answer the following 15 questions. The European Association for Body Psychotherapy successfully completed this comprehensive task several years ago. In the United States, however, body psychotherapy is still viewed askance by many traditional psychotherapists. They do not realize that body psychotherapists are uniquely educated and highly skilled practitioners with a keen working knowledge of the mind-body-spirit connection. These questions are listed at the European Association for Body Psychotherapy web site.

The 15 Questions about Scientific Validity:

Please provide evidence that your approach:

1. Has clearly defined areas of enquiry, application, research, and practice.
2. Has demonstrated its claim to knowledge and competence within its field tradition of diagnosis/assessment and of treatment/intervention.
3. Has a clear and self-consistent theory of the human being, of the therapeutic relationship, and of health and illness.
4. Has methods specific to the approach which generate developments in the theory of psychotherapy, demonstrate new aspects in the understanding of hman nature, and lead to ways of treatment/intervention.
5. Includes processes of verbal exchange, alongside an awareness of non-verbal sources of information and communication.
6. Offers a clear rationale for treatment/interventions facilitating constructive change of the factors provoking or maintaining illness or suffering.
7. Has clearly defined strategies enabling clients to develop a new organization of experience and behaviour.
8. Is open to dialogue with other psychotherapy modalities about its field of theory and practice.
9. Has a way of methodically describing the chosen fields of study and the methods of treatment/intervention which can be used by other colleagues.
10. Is associated with information which is the result of conscious self reflection, and critical reflection by other professionals within the approach.
11. Offers new knowledge, which is differentiated and distinctive, in the domain of psychotherapy.
12. Is capable of being integrated with other approaches considered to be part of scientific psychotherapy so that it can be seen to share with them areas of common ground.
13. Describes and displays a coherent strategy to understanding human problems, and an explicit relation between methods of treatment/intervention and results.
14. Has theories of normal and problematic human behaviour which are explicitly related to effective methods of diagnosis/assessment and treatment/intervention.
15. Has investigative procedures which are defined well enough to indicate possibilities of research.

Are you wondering how to induce an out-of-body experience? If you have read or heard about out-of-body experiences, you might be curious to know more about it. You might even want to try it out yourself. The good news is that you can induce an out-of-body experience. Many people have already done it. Anybody can do it. In fact, we all do it unconsciously when we sleep; and there is absolutely no harm in consciously inducing an out-of-body experience.

If you are thinking about taking drugs to induce an OOBE, banish the idea. Seasoned astral projection practitioners discourage the use of drugs for many good reasons. If you want a genuine and lasting astral experience, you must induce an out-of-body experience without using drugs.

Here are some great ways to induce an OOBE. You can try any one of these or a permutation and combination of some of these methods. All of them work, though you have to choose a method that will work especially for you.

1. Visualization and meditation

2. Grounding and centering

3. Rhythmic drumming

4. Focusing on an object

5. Relaxation

6. Lucid dreaming, which leads to dream control and astral travel

7. Religious prayers and meditation techniques

8. Self-hypnosis

Here is a simple method you can use to induce an OOBE

1. Settle down in a comfortable position and relax deeply.

2. Once you have relaxed completely, let go of your cares and woes. Release all your negative feelings and thoughts.

3. Try a breathing technique that will relax you more deeply.

4. Visualize a globe of white light around your body. Visualize your spiritual body stirring. Imagine that you are raising your astral hands and reaching out toward the ceiling. Don’t move your physical body. Simply imagine and visualize. Then, you only have to roll out of the body, and you will see yourself sitting by the side of your physical body, which is sleeping blissfully.

5. Move away from the physical body. Keep moving the limbs of your astral body and get used to the feeling of being in your astral body.

You won’t be able to induce an OOBE at the first attempt. Practice and patience is the key to success. If you are still not successful, do some self-analysis. Are you free of doubts and fears? If you aren’t, get rid of those fears by reading more about the subject. Also find out why you want to induce an OOBE.

You can also consider taking the help of latest technological developments such as binaural beats. You will soon be able to successfully induce an out-of-body experience.

Yamuna Body Rolling is a fitness concept geared around exercise balls. It is a combination of yoga and ball-based exercise practices. Yamuna has specifically designed their equipment to work safely and effectively. Anyone who has experience with yoga, stretching exercises, or general fitness can see benefits from this method.

We all know the benefits of a professional massage. One of the main advantages of a massage is the way the massagers uses his or her hands to move around the muscles and loosen them. Unfortunately, most of us do not have access to a full time masseuse.

The issue with most muscle tightness lies in the tendons, where the muscle attaches to the bone. Many people concentrate on stretching the muscle but ignore the tendons, which is where most of the stress lays. Yamuna Body Rolling focuses on the muscles from tendon to tendon, releasing all tightness from the muscle.

Body rolling involves using six and ten inch balls with the exercise. The ball lays on the floor and the body rolls over it, using the body’s weight to work the ball into stressed muscles. Consider the ball as a replacement for the masseuse’s hands. The ball works the muscle from connection point on one bone to the other. The gradual rubbing and elongation is the benefit. The balls work to eliminate muscle tension by softly kneading the tissue, releasing stress and improving circulation. Think of it as a cross between a massage and yoga stretching.

Most routines can be done in a matter of 15 minutes, and Yamuna includes DVD routines with all of there products. It can easily become a daily routine for muscle relaxation. Check out Yamuna Body Rolling today.

Nauli is a purificatory process of eliminating the impurities that have gathered in the body. You can practice this process only if you have impurities collected in the body otherwise there is no need to practice it everyday. This process should be performed in the standing position. Stoop forward slightly and turn the belly swiftly from left to right. Rotate the belly swiftly from left to right and vice versa.

When the abdominal wall becomes concave, the front abdominal walls are contracted and the other muscles of the abdominal walls are relaxed. The abdominal wall consists of three sets of abdominal muscles called abdominal recti which are vertical and run from below the navel till the chest bone, the transverse abdominal muscles running across the abdominal wall and the internal and external oblique muscles. Of these, only the central vertical muscles are to be contracted. This contraction isolates them from the other muscles of the abdominal wall. They stand out like the column in midst of the concavity of the abdomen. This is caused by making a thrust from behind at the lower end, located at about two inches from the navel. Regular practice makes this task easier.

When you contract the front abdominal muscles in the same way; as you contract the muscles of the anus while defecating at the time of constipation; is called Madhya-nauli or nauli-madhyana. Hold this isolation for a few seconds while the breath is held out. Nauli-chalana involves the isolation of only one of the two abdominal recti at a time, moving it to an end and then to the center, while repeating the same process with the other recti. Nauli is the foremost amongst all the shuddhikriyas or cleansing processes. It affects practically all the functions of the body. Periodic repletion of this activity will ensure that your internals will remain clean and free of any impurities.

The eye body language of love is something that seems to be widely under reported. If you are serious about attracting a girl and ultimately want her to fall in love with you then you have to know how use your eyes. This is one of the most powerful seduction tools in the world, if not the most powerful seduction tools.

Many men do not think it through when they are about to approach or pursue a women they wish to attract. Instead of attracting them, they tend to scare them off. That is because they are not correctly using their bodies.

Believe it or not love first starts in the eyes. Haven’t you heard the term love at first sight? You should first be building attraction with a woman with the use of your eyes not your words, at least not yet. The way you correctly apply the eye body language of love to attract her is to establish direct eye contact when you first see her.

Make sure she sees you starring at her and your eyes lock, that is imperative. Many men do not realise that they did not actually establish eye contact. I am not saying to stare at her in an obsessive manner, but I am taking about a focused glanced that will get her attention. Once your eyes lock keep looking in her eyes and let her be the one to look away. After she looks away observe what she does. If she looks back at you within one minute (I mean straight at you), plays with her hair, or stares up or at the ground, then it means she is interested in you. Keep a look out for those signs. If she does, then stare at her again, but after a minute or two. This time when your eyes lock smile at her. If she returns the smile then she just invited you to approach her. If she doesn’t return the smile, but her eye body language shows you that she is looking at you for more then three seconds then that is also an invitation to approach her. If you don’t get any of these signs after the second glance at her, then I would move on to another girl. You will be surprised how powerful this technique is and the high success rate it has when there is positive body language.

Body odor can be a stinky situation, especially for massage therapists who routinely work with clients in close proximities. While some body odors are normal, others may be the result of an internal medical condition. Eliminating, or getting to the root cause of disturbing smells, can make for a more comfortable and relaxing massage session.

What do playing sports, brisk walking, sunbathing, exposure to warm temperatures and stressful situations all have in common? They all potentially produce perspiration, the body’s mechanism of cooling off. Some people sweat buckets, and others generate little perspiration. Not only do we perspire differently, but the odors we emanate when we do vary, too. Interestingly, perspiration is virtually odorless until it connects with bacteria on the skin.

Though no client wishes to smell bad, it can and does happen. Thankfully, massage therapists have many options at their fingertips to help keep these occurrences to a minimum, as well as lessen the potency of its impact. For instance, aromatherapy diffusers work wonders in scenting the air and masking foul odors. And, office policies regarding personal hygiene can also be instrumental.

However, there are times when controlling excessive client body odor is out of the hands of massage professionals. It is important to ask yourself if your client’s body odor might be the result of a medical condition. This is an instance where it would be a bodyworker’s responsibility to ask more questions, and delve deeper into a client’s medical history. Gaining answers to more health related questions might prompt a massage professional to make a necessary medical referral. For example, certain conditions can make people smell like fruit, fish or even ammonia, the last being indicative of people potentially suffering from chronic kidney failure.
