“Can you teach m y husband
to m assage my sh o u ld ers? ”
"My g irlfrien d tries to
m assage my hack, but her hands
g e t tired after fiv e m inutes! ”
“ H ow! I wish I could receive
m assages m ore often, but I
cu n 't a ffo rd it. ”
These are statements we often hear
from our massage clients. People be­
come enthusiastic about the results
they feel when they receive massages.
()ne client told us o f how massage has
enriched her relationship with her
husband:
“ I have alw ays received profes­
sional m assages once or tw ice a
year. O ne year. I bought my hus­
band a m assage gift certificate for
his birthday. A fter he received his
first massage, he came home beam ­
ing! He suggested we take a class
together to learn how to do m as­
sage at homes. That was tw o years
ago, and now when one o f us is
really stressed out, we have an ­
other way to help each other o ut.”
Regular m assage increases c ir­
cu latio n, reduces stress related
headaches, and can make people
feel healthier. When people receive
m assage through times o f acute
pain, chronic discom fort or dis­
tress, they often experience pro­
longed relief. It is no w onder people
want to know how to incorporate
m assage into their lives every day.
They want the people closest to
them to give them regular “spot”
treatm ents at home.
If done correctly, even a five
m inute m assage can provide in­
credible results.
W eofferclasses for couples who
want to learn more about m assag­
ing each other. In this class couples
are show n a few sim ple m ethods
that will enable them to do m as­
sage at home. Since most people
do not have a professional m as­
sage table, we teach m ethods for
m assaging loved ones in a chair,
on the floor, or even on a couch or
bed. We also teach basic relax­
ation and inform ation about the
m uscle structure and body systems.
M assage is a caring and loving
bond for any tw o people to share.
Learning m assage techniques e n ­
ables a person to interact w ith
people they love in a different way.
Sharing your skills by m assaging
others can fill your life with satis­
fying and rew arding experiences.

INSPIRING RADIO TALK SHOW
HOST: JEAN BOUCHER SUNDAYS AT 4pm - 6pm.
This show is about moving sto­
ries and challenges, experiencing
pain and dealing with relationships,
plus books w hich will change your
life.
The following excerpt is from a
previous radio show session with
Terry Braverman as the guest. Terry
Braverman is the au thorof“ When

Brav erman is a recovering stand
up comedian (still in recovery),
professional speaker and seminar
leader. He has also been on Com ­
edy Central and The Improv.
Terry Braverman: When 1 was
1 3 ,1 discovered my talent for hu­
mor and comedy. I used it mostly
to protect m yself by making the
tough kids laugh. It was more a
defense mechanism. As I grew up
and became mature, I started to
see hum or in a different lig h t, not
so much as trying to be funny.
Spontaneity and humor pulls me
word for humor is umare. It means to be
fluid like in water.
H um or is a w ay o f refram ing a
reality or circum stance in a posi­
tive light. 1 began to see it was
m ore im portant to have fun than it
was to be funny. Fun is very in­
clusive.
When I do a show and people
laugh together, it creates bonds.
Jean Boucher: You write about
Norman Cousins.
I erry Braverman: He was the one
who really brought laughter as a healer
into the mainstream. He was afflicted
with a life threatening illness that had
i never been cured before. It was a
\ collagendiseasedestroyinghisspinal
column and when he went into the
/ hospital, doctors told him he had
I maybe 6-8 months to live. Norman
Cousins said," Hey, if I’ve only got 6-
8 months to live, I’m going to die
laughing. I le asked friends and family
to bring in somethingamusingw hethcr
it was a comedy video of the Marx
brothers or a humorous book, a funny
audiotape - anything that might pro­
voke a laughing response from him.
And after only three weeks ofbeing on
this comedy diet, his disease went into
remission. The doctors wereabsol utely
blown away.

Q: Nothing else has ever really
helped my allergies. What can Chi­
ropractic possibly do?
A: First take a look at the word
itself. “Allergy” is a shortened form
o f“altered energy.” Way back when
patients first complained o f aller­
gic symptoms, it was obvious to the
physician w ho coined the term that
somehow, the body’s energy con­

figuration had shifted and caused the
problem. Chiropractors now know
that the central nervous system con­
trols the body’s flow o f energy. We
also know that when the spinal col­
umn is out o f alignment, it interferes
with the central nervous system ’s
flow o f energy.
When those nerves leading to the
eyes or nose or throat are being

source o f the problem, not just the
symptoms, Chiropractic can often
provide complete, lasting relief.

often the answer. Call us for an

What happened to me was that even through books, seminars and churches, there was no change; I had to have
a wakeup call. Then I realized that I was more than just a body: I WAS A SOUL!
