We have all heard the saying flower power, but many of us have never really known what it meant.  For most people it came to be a calling card for the movement to end hate and violence, a cry from a time that saw our nation deeply divided.  While the term may have been coined during that time, the real flower power has been used since the beginning of man.  Flower essences have been used as a source of spiritual and physical healing, since the first humans found them.  The pungent and beautiful aromas they give off have long been used as natural remedies for various illnesses and problems.

     Chicago Energy healing spas and offices offer the practice of repairing the flow of energy within the body by healing the damage or blockages to the afflicted person’s chakras.  In opening these channels, energy flows freely allowing the person to heal.  The chakras work the same as the arteries to your heart.  If an artery is blocked or has plaque buildup then it can cause pain, shortness of breath and potentially a heart attack.  By clearing the arteries through diet and exercise, we increase the blood flow therefore increasing our health.  Same principle for energy healing.

The energy of the human spirit which is connected to the physical body is something that is able to be traced back thousands of years by cultures around the globe.
 
Religions around the world specifically the Far East have the common belief of the human’s aura of energy that surrounds each person.  It is with us from the day of birth to the day we pass.  The aura is a metaphysical theory and is captured on camera and seen by the human eye.  The aura has a direct effect on the person’s ability to have and hold on to a physical disorder.

Techniques surrounding the individual vary.  For the most part, the person receiving treatment would sit in a meditative state and focus on re-balancing the inner self (some call it the soul) with help of the practitioner and improve the aura color which affects us in positive and negative fashions.  The changes can be profound and you deserve to have Chicago Energy Healing today.

     The benefits of Chicago waxing services go beyond a female.  Men are taking advantage of this as well.  If you are going to take the time to remove hair, of course you want your skin to feel smooth and not stubbly in any way!  Most of our body is covered in hair, even in very small increments.  A worthwhile business is evident for any waxing services.

There are many different methods of removing hair and some are favorites to people over others however, the hair removal craze has extended past females.  Men are realizing the power and effectiveness of a good wax.

Wax kits can be purchased from your local grocery store or beauty supply store, but the effective results vary.  It is best to go to a salon to have the hot wax applied to your skin and have the trained professional remove the hair.  As women have made waxing their legs, bikini, face and eyebrows popular without the result of stubble, ingrown hairs and rash, men are using the waxing world for their face and backs.

Men usually have to shave every day.  Can you imagine as a male, never having to shave again?  This would be true if you had your face waxed.  When the hair does start to grow back it is not razor sharp.  It in fact grows back soft and the next wax is easier to complete.  There is no need to be embarrassed when getting waxed.  There are private rooms that most services are provided in.
 
Calling all men…if you have not tried Chicago waxing services before now is your time to try it!

        In Chicago, massage therapy is exploding in growth.  This is due to the education to the world on the power of alternative medicine.  What is humorous is that it is called “alternative” medicine.  These alternatives were around for thousands of years before our evasive modern medicine techniques and treatments. 

In the massage therapy world there is focus on the healing of energy systems in the body.  When temporary or chronic issues present themselves, massage has been proven to alleviate pain and many other symptoms while promoting a more intensive healing.  Insurance companies are now accepting massages for a co pay.  With this acceptance, massage therapists are in high demand.  Offices around the country are paying massage therapists to come in and conduct chair massages on their employees during lunch breaks.  The idea behind this is to push employee satisfaction and performance improvement.

Of course, most of us would rather have the full body massage.  We usually only have time for a 30 minute massage but some of us take advantage of the full hour.  Often in such need of an hour, we leave the salon dizzy, thirsty and wanting to just take a nap!

Massage therapy in any form is popular in this country.  It is mainstream healing alternative to chiropractor or “modern” medicine.  By and large, citizens want a non-invasive treatment for their ailments or common conditions.  When are you going to allow yourself enjoy a Chicago massage?

A pregnancy is one of the most enjoyable events that a woman could experience, but it is also one of the most stressful. The body has to endure several changes, and along with that, emotional and psychological roller coasters brought about by “mommy hormones”. While it may seem alright to endure these changes, you can also do away with them.  If you live in Chicago, a Chicago spa should be a must-visit destination for you. Its services are personalized, and you will enjoy the gentle hands of therapists who will pamper you and the baby inside you.

A pregnancy massage, or a prenatal massage is one of the services many Chicago spas offer today. The therapist you choose must be a prenatal massage-certified one, so you know you are in good hands. A prenatal massage helps reduce water retention, swelling of the legs and feet, and even relieves the woman of back pain caused by her growing tummy. Mommies also benefit from the emotional support and comforting touch of therapists during the massage. Prenatal massage also decreases the chances of depression and anxiety in women with child.

Note, however, that the Chicago spa of your choice must have a license for prenatal massage. You must be properly and comfortably positioned during the massage for it to be effective as well as safe. Also, there are certain body parts that are off-limits to even the most gentle of hands. Women in the first trimester should not go for these massages yet. Finally, if you are at risk for DVT, or deep vein thrombosis, or clotting of blood in the legs, you may have to find alternative relaxation techniques because prenatal massages are a no-no.

A visit to any Chicago Spa could be the best gift you give yourself for having worked so hard.  Spas in Chicago are reputable and are known for the versatility of their services as well as the gentleness and warmth of their therapists. Their therapists are licensed and are dedicated to personalize the service to suit your body’s needs. Here are tips to help you maximize your spa experience. 

First, set an appointment and be on time. Good spas are often fully-booked, so it is wise to call and have a slot reserved for you in advance. Make sure you arrive on time, so your slot doesn’t get taken, and so you can take your sweet time in relaxing.  

Never visit a spa when you’ve just eaten. Your body will concentrate more on digesting than being receptive to the massage if you eat just before your spa treatment. If you can’t afford to miss a meal, simply go for a snack or a salad before going to the spa. This is give you the energy you need, but won’t disrupt your body and prevent you from relaxing.

Your treatment may require you to take off all your clothes. If this is the case, ask your therapist for a robe and make sure you are draped appropriately during the procedure. This means that only the area being massaged will be exposed. You can also wear your underwear or a thong.

Finally, a good Chicago Spa therapist will obtain health information from you before the session to know if there are any contraindications. This short interview will also help you get the most out of the treatment. Specify your preferences, such as room temperature and lighting, the amount of pressure, or the speed of movement. Your therapist will also ask you about these from time to time to ensure your comfort. Feel free to speak up. Communication with your therapist is the best way to get personalized treatments which will make you come back for more.
