$20
A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20.00 bill. In the room of 200 he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?" Hands started going up. He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this."
He proceeded to crumple up the $20 bill. He then asked, "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air. "Well," he replied, "What if I do this?" And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe.
He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. "Now, who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air.
"My friends, we have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20."
Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value.
Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to those who DO LOVE you. The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or who we know, but by WHO WE ARE and WHOSE WE ARE.
You are special - don't ever forget it.

CRANIAL SACRAL THERAPY
Alternative Therapies with Life Changing Results
Can you imagine being free of pain? Free of the emotional scars of past trauma? When you’ve tried everything else, it’s time to try something new.
Cranial Sacral Therapy is a complementary therapy which enhances the central nervous system by encouraging the free flow of spinal fluid around the brain and down the spinal cord to the tailbone and back.The skull is made up of several bones which seem solid but actually have a natural rhythmic movement similar to a dock on a lake. If the bones cannot move at all, the entire body suffers out of sync as the bones grind and jar on each other.
Cranial Sacral Therapy complements the body’s natural healing process, bolsters the immune system and is helpful for headaches, stress, anxiety, sleep disorders, neck pain, TMJ, chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia among many other ailments.
The treatment is painless and relaxing. As you lay fully dressed,the therapist softly touches pressure points on the skull, face and tailbone. The therapists’ intention is always to enhance the body’s natural state of health. CST enhances but does not replace medical treatment. Best results are found when several treatments are scheduled two weeks apart. Judy Fiddick is a Registered Massage Therapist in Nanton (403) 818-1514.

REIKI
Reiki is a form of complementary and alternative medicine (
Developed in 1922 by Mikao Usi in
A typical Reiki treatment lasts from 45 to 90 minutes with the recipient lying on a massage table wearing loose, comfortable clothing. The practitioner places her hands either on the recipient or a few inches above the body in various positions. The practitioner allows the energy to be drawn through them into the recipients body for the purpose of healing an injury or restoring vitality. Recipients often feel warmth or tingling in the area being treated, even when a non-touching approach is being used. The Reiki treatment is said to be stimulating our natural healing processes. A state of deep relaxation, combined with a general feeling of well-being, is usually the most noticeable immediate effect of the treatment, although emotional releases can occur.
The teaching of Reiki is commonly divided into three levels:
Level I teaches the basic theories and procedures. Four "attunements" are given to the student by the teacher. Students learn the hand placement positions on the recipient's body that are thought to be most conducive to the process in a whole body treatment. Participants finish ready to treat themselves and others with Reiki.
Level II teaches the student to use more Japanese symbols which are said to enhance the strength and distance over which the effect can be exerted. Another attunement is given, which is said to further increase the capacity for Reiki to flow through the student, as well as empowering the use of the symbols. Having completed the second level, the student can work without being physically present with the recipient
Level III further attunes the student and passes on a master-level symbol. Upon completion, the new Reiki Master can attune other people to Reiki and teach the three degrees of Reiki.
Reiki can be used to complement conventional medicine but should not replace clinically proven treatments for serious conditions.
