The Differences Between Angelic Reiki and Usui Reiki

4/25/2015

I get asked this question a lot. Here is the official answer from Christine Core, the co-founder and "Mother" of Angelic Reiki:
Hello Everyone,
I have been asked to answer this question again and I thought I would re-write an answer. I thought you might find it useful.
With Love Christine

What is the difference between Angelic Reiki and Usui Reiki?

Hiding Behind Email

4/19/2015

It's been a while since I've posted and my apologies. Today I'm writing about something I wish to bring into the light... Ok, it's a rant.

Some male clients hide behind the anonymity of an email and I, as a professional, find it disrespectful and annoying.

A possible new client emailed today at 12:30 asking about an afternoon appointment. He did not give any option other than email to answer (red flag 1). I replied within 10 minutes that I had an opening between 1:30 and 3. He replied at 1:45 that he wanted to come in for an hour massage "right now". I asked him to call to confirm. No reply.

A former client (I fired him) with a habit of emailing to make appointments and canceling at the last minute, emails and doesn't reply for a day. So after 3 days worth of email tag, I asked him to call to speed the process. His reply was "I don't call. " That got him fired.

I appreciate that people have busy lives. That does not give anyone the right to disrespect another's time. This is especially true if the other is running a business.

Do not forget there is a person on the other end of that transmission.

I provide a service. I create a healing space. I take pride in my work. I will treat you with respect and ask for the same in return.

Rant over.

Effects of Masturbation on the Prostate

12/1/2010

A recent client asked me about prostate health and I found this article as I brushed up on my research.
Funny, I always heard that the only way to exercise the prostate was through ejaculation, but as you will read, exercise may not be the answer.
Remember guys, Breast Cancer gets a whole month, but we need to examine our testicles and be aware of our prostates because they can be at risk.

Why you shouldn’t feel guilty about having a massage? Posted by Thann Sanctuary on August 23rd, 2010

For those of you who feel guilty about having a massage, or think that a massage is just a waste of money, and doesn’t do much, think again.

It’s no coincidence we often crave to be physically pampered,

Does shaved hair grow back thicker?

10/3/2010

In a word…NO!

Myths abound concerning the shaving or removal of body hair. One misconception I hear frequently is that shaved hair grows back faster or thicker. This is untrue. In reality,

Importance of Self-Examination

10/2/2010

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. I encourage all women to do the self exam and get the mammogram if you have not had one. Early detection can be a HUGE factor in cancer survival.

I lost my god-sister to complications from breast cancer almost 20 years ago. She was a beautiful soul and the cancer was aggressive. I

Bedbugs

8/25/2010

Had I known that bedbugs really existed and what they looked like, I would have been terrified when my mom tucked me in.
Those ugly little suckers (they really do suck) are everywhere these days. They have better social lives than I do. Just think... all the bed hopping and then showing up at theaters and even a few nice restaurants. They're also being spotted in all the big cities. I wonder if they've started Tweeting or if they have Facebook accounts.
They must have some pretty good agents and a strong PR Machine.

Building relationships

8/23/2010

I allowed myself to sleep in this morning... I could just leave it at that, but there is a reason. I stayed up late giving a massage. That doesn't sound so special, but the fact is a long-time client from my Arlington days was driving through and had to stop in. It says something about the relationship we have built.
I have some clients that have truly become friends. What a blessing! One client even calls me his best friend. I'm not sure if that's really

Blogging by Candlelight

8/22/2010

Tonight I'm blogging by candlelight and it sure smells good! It's a Ginger Lemongrass candle from Soy Delites. Soy Delites is a great local Austin company run by a fascinating and engaging wife and husband team. I met Christy, Saturday, at the Cedar Park Farmer's Market and her husband, Garland, at the Italian Festival today.
Their hand-poured soy candles are sure to go with any decor. A clear textured glass container with a clean logo, I love that they keep

Paula Poundstone and Manscaping

8/21/2010

My friend, Paula Poundstone, and I were chatting last night. Ok, so last night was the first time I met her, but I have been a fan for so long that I feel like we are longtime friends. We talked about her seersucker suit and how ‘To Kill a Mockingbird”-ish it made her feel. We discussed that I’m a massage therapist (which she met with a smile that said ‘how sweet’) and Manscaper (which she found very interesting).

I get mixed reactions from many people when they ask what I do or know I’m a massage therapist and read Manscaping my card. “What’s that? Oh, you shave guys’ backs? Good someone needs to...”

This is my spot to talk about me and what I do. Some will be work-related, some will be random thoughts and observations. Hopefully all will be entertaining. Feel free to comment. Spammers and rude commentary will be removed.
