Be Healthy and Enjoy Your Life!

The secret of health and happiness has been lost to mankind because the nature intelligence of the people in general has been warped and doped by the disease of civilization. It must be remembered that health is the natural state of man: the sure reward of living in harmony with the laws of nature. Disease or lack of ease is the result of ignorance: it follows in the wake of fear and the insane habits of life which are, terrible thought, regarded as the natural mode of living.

Long ago the cry was heard: "My people perish through lack of knowledge," and it is even so today. Centuries of so called progress seem to have contributed but little to the problem of how to live in a state of health from birth until death.

Medical science seeks its remedies in filthy animal extracts and obnoxious serums, but disease remains with us. Effects are tinkered with, causes remain untouched. True, certain enlightened souls have given us of their inspired wisdom from time to time, and there have been brighter periods, but in the main darkness still covers the earth and gross darkness the people.

All thinkers agree that man is the masterpiece of creative intelligence. He is the culmination of all creative processes, of every creative force and impulse, and of every manifestation of intelligence from the time when "the Morning stars sang together" until now. Think what this means! It implies that within every human soul there lies the possibility of absolute health, of full and radiant happiness and of unlimited achievements!

Train For Massage Therapy Certification

To practice massage therapy in most states requires certification from the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB); many states also require certified massage therapists to be licensed. There are hundreds of good accredited massage therapy schools across the US and Canada that can train you to pass exams for certification.

When people talk about earning massage certificates and diplomas, they do not mean the same thing as gaining massage therapy certification. It is possible to get certificates after a number of hours of training in one specific area of massage, but still not be legally qualified to practice in many states. There are several very deliberate steps required before one can become a certified massage therapist (CMT), and almost every state has its own laws and regulations to follow.

The NCBTMB requires that candidates acquire a minimum number of 500 hours of training from an approved school (accredited by the US Department of Education or approved by the state of practice); required education must include 125 hours of body systems, anatomy, physiology and kinesiology; 200 hours of massage and bodywork assessment, theory and application; 40 hours of pathology; 10 hours of business and ethics, including at least 6 hours of ethics; and 125 hours of additional instruction. The candidate must then pass the NCBTMB exam to prove competency in practical skills (hands-on) as well as knowledge and understanding of professional massage practices.

Once the candidate has received NCBTMB certification, it is then important to secure a massage therapy license (if licensure is required in the state of practice). It is also essential to check with local authorities before setting up a practice to see if there are any other necessary prerequisites or regulations to be met. For instance, some states require CMTs to take periodic continuing education in massage practices. The administrators and instructors at the best schools are often a good resource to help students through this process.
