<p>There are a myriad of resources on the Law of Attraction. I know that I’m merely a student blessed with the guidance and wisdom of those that have succeeded already. They get it. Every day they share it with anyone willing to listen, in hopes that we’ll get it someday, too.</p>
<p>One of the biggest blocks that can keep anything from showing up, in spite of our deepest wishes and desires, is belief. Do you believe you can have what you want?</p>
<p>Without total faith, in spite of what evidence reveals that a body can heal, it may not heal. Without faith that by taking the best actions available, the money will flow, it can’t flow. Without trust completely that what you want will come, nothing can show up.</p>
<p>It is the power in believing first that allows things to show up. I know this to be the greatest of the aspects of the Law of Attraction that stands in the way of success time and time again.</p>
<p>Belief is not a thing of spiritual necessity. It is a confidence in that your actions will provide the results you desire regardless of what it may appear to be.</p>
<p>All of the most successful people in our society get that. They don’t question if they made a right decision or if they are going to succeed. The just take an action with unyielding awareness that they will get the results they’re seeking.</p>
<p>Rest assured that if you’re not there yet, you will be. Remain determined. Keep taking action toward that desire. Be open to the opportunities that reveal themselves to you along the way to help you on your endeavors.</p>
<p>Nobody can believe in your health, happiness, or success for you. That is one part that each individual must choose for themselves in order to receive what is desired.</p>

<p>Have you ever started a morning with grey clouds and conflict? You know that the power to change comes from changing a single thought, and yet with even the best efforts, the change feels blocked? How do we move past that to find that sunshine and light? Sometimes it takes a little more than just our own will and desire move from gloom to bloom.</p>
<p>Friendships combined with our intentions to remain feeling good can be the catalyst of transformation.<br />
Feeling good is a decision away. That is the message that every expert in success, happiness, and abundance will share. That doesn’t mean deciding has to be a solitary journey. It is only for us to make the decision to feel good. That choice then allows opportunities to feel good to appear.<br />
Make a choice to do something kind and thoughtful towards that very object that is creating conflict. Turn that resistance into assistance. By tackling that situation with an open heart and mind, it can shift in a moment to an opportunity that wasn’t there before.<br />
Read and listen to words and music of inspiration and encouragement from experts and motivators that can uplift and inspire. They know what it takes to move forward and feel good. They can be just the medicine it takes to transition to that state of happiness.<br />
Connect with a friend. Just by sending a quick note that says,” Hey, I’m thinking about you right now” can bring a feel good moment for them, dissipating any clouds in the day and filling it with clear skies and sunshine once again. It will only be moments before they will reciprocate the sentiment and fill the heart with happiness.<br />
We are social creatures. We crave connections and relationships. By surrounding ourselves around those that lift our spirits and help us to feel good about life and being that inspiration to others, we can shift from any darkness into lightness and joy.</p>

<p>Inspiring health and happiness is the reason Atlas Massage Service was born. Upon learning this, Jennifer Ziegler, knew that she wanted to be part of this company.</p>
<p>Jennifer Ziegler is the newest licensed massage therapist of Atlas Massage Service.  Another graduate from Everest University, she excelled in school and served as a leader to her fellow students as a Student Ambassador.</p>
<p>She chose to pursue a career in massage when traditional methods of therapy were not improving her son’s difficulty in walking and realized the opportunity that massage could provide. She noticed the remarkable difference massage and energy work had made for him and wanted to use these new skills to make a difference for others.</p>
<p>Jennifer’s visions are aligned with that of Atlas Massage Service. She has a passion for inspiring health and happiness and knows the positive changes that can occur through a regular massage program. She embraces the concepts of Law of Attraction and applies it to her practice and in every day aspects of her life.</p>
<p>She looks forward to providing the customized therapy plans for each of her clients and helping each achieve their wellness goals.</p>
<p>Welcome, Jen, to Atlas Massage Service!</p>

<p>Have you ever tried to remove knots from a chain or a piece of string? The harder you pull, the tighter the knots would get. What happens then? Frustration, irritation, annoyance…all the stuff that keeps the knots firmly in their place.</p>
<p>Our body acts the same way. We get tense, frustrated, annoyed, and irritated and our muscles start to knot up. The pain becomes intense and unbearable. So what do we do? We take medicine or get a massage and still the muscles don’t relax.  Then the frustration increases.</p>
<p>As a kid, I used to think of that knotted piece of string as I was going to sleep. If the day was frustrating, that string would be all tangled up. The more I tried to untangle it, the more tangled it would become…until I learned to take a few deep breaths and stop trying so hard. As I consciously let go of the effort I was putting into untangling the string, the string would relax and the knots would slowly release until a beautiful straight line appeared.</p>
<p>It is the same with unknotting a chain. Instead of pushing and pulling, the easiest way to release the knots is simply to “relax” the chain. Then the knots come out easily and effortlessly.</p>
<p>Our bodies respond the same way. Instead of struggling, relax. All of the challenges, pains, and problems will release when we choose to give up the struggle.</p>
<p>How is this done? Figure out what is causing the knot, much of the time, it isn’t a physical issue. Sometimes it is personal challenges, troubles at work, or stress with relationships or family. If it is something that can be changed, then change it. Taking the action is much less painful than the pain in the neck.  If it isn’t something that can be changed, then accept it as it is in the moment, knowing that this acceptance will create the improvement.</p>
<p>If it is a physical issue, driving too much, too much time on the computer, or too much standing, then stretch. If you’re not sure what stretches will work best, talk to a fitness trainer or health practitioner. All fitness programs accentuate the benefits of cardio and strength training, underestimating the true benefits of stretch. We’ve all dismissed it as no big deal. It is a big deal, though, when we struggle to move in the morning because our lower back is achy and sore.</p>
<p>Knots don’t show up all at once, most of the time. They usually build up over time. Relax the chains that bind and feel the difference in all aspects of life.</p>

<p>In today’s over-medicated, over-prescribed society,  most of us are offered a quick fix pill to mask problems when visiting many medical facilities. Medicine is easy to access. Prescription drugs are issued out like candy even when not really medically necessary in order to achieve a bottom line, often overlooking potential serious side effects. All so the patient can be “free of pain”, the latest theory being that it is better to live a “quality” life than “quantity”. Personally, I want both.</p>
<p>What is the true “quality” of life, though, when taking 20 pills before breakfast? The benefit to this is not to feel any pain.</p>
<p>Pain is a misunderstood and highly undervalued tool for the human body. We often think of feeling pain as a bad thing when really the opposite is true.</p>
<p>Pain is a signal to the brain telling us that something is wrong and needs to be fixed. Without it, we are likely to increase injuries or over extend ourselves until our body quits altogether.</p>
<p>What is the best solution when pain shows up? Before reaching for the ibuprofen, think about what is causing the pain. Is it from an immediate injury where ice and rest might be a better solution to reduce inflammation? Or, is it a hormonal situation brought on by changes in the body that extra water and different foods in the diet could change? Or is this a pain brought on by stress and tension as a result of ignoring outside issues or problems that may have showed up in our day to day lives?</p>
<p>Often a signal of pain is a result of emotional or mental stresses that can be resolved by taking a few deep breaths and readjusting perception of any given situation or circumstances.</p>
<p>Not sure what the root cause of a pain is? That is when it is time to visit a medical professional. Be sure, however, that when you do that they are willing to help you find the cause and not just hide the symptoms.</p>
<p>Only once a core problem is solved can a pain truly subside and lead to a healthier, happier life that is more vibrant than ever.</p>

<p>Have you ever noticed how major events and traumatic changes in life can bring out the best and worst in people? Recently, I attended my grandmother’s memorial. While there, I contemplated much on the purpose of forgiveness as I did realize that the service was not for her at all, but truly an opportunity for healing for the family.</p>
<p>Healing doesn’t start out feeling good, though. It hurts. There is anger, bitterness, resentment, and jealousy that can show up.  Expressing it is a necessary, if sometimes, painful tool to begin the healing.</p>
<p>When terrible words are said and hurtful actions are taken, forgiveness can seem like the last thing anyone would ever want to do.  To forgive, however, can make all of the difference from feeling heavy and burdened with all of the negative feelings to being liberated and finding happiness.</p>
<p>Forgiving a person or a situation doesn’t assure that the situation or the relationship will improve. The outcome is not what matters.  It is important to let go of the pains that chain and bind in order to live and appreciate the present people and situations that are there now.</p>
<p>Anyone or anything that does cause us hurt is a gift of opportunity to learn, grow, and heal. When it shows up, this is the chance for positive change.<br />
It is this ultimate gift of forgiveness that can heal the mind and the body, leading to a happier and fuller life.</p>

<p>What would it feel like to live in a world without aches, pains, or illness? Is it even possible? As we age, our body’s vibrancy and vitality decrease, making us more prone to accidents, injuries, and illness. At least that is what we’ve been told.<br />
Which statement pops in the head in the morning “What a great day this is going to be?!”  or “Ugh, another morning. I hate mornings!” Each one seems simple and harmless enough and yet at the very moment they are expressed, the body reacts.<br />
Go ahead. Say the first to yourself and see how you feel. Doesn’t your body feel energized and ready to take on any possibility that may show up during the day?<br />
What happens when you say the second statement? Be aware of how the body feels. Sluggish? Achy? Fatigued?<br />
We are exactly what we say we are. If we say we are healthy, then we will feel and become healthy. We may even choose healthier choices simply because we believe we are healthy.<br />
If we say we are sick, we will feel and become sick. Aches and pains intensify and often leave us feeling totally incapable of doing much of anything at all.<br />
Choosing to feel happy in any moment is a bridge from being ill to being well.<br />
How is this possible when all seems overwhelming and miserable? Start simple.  Feel the comfort and warmth of the covers in the morning. Enjoy a cup of tea or coffee. Listen to the sound of nature.  Breathe in the abundance of air and opportunities and breathe out all of the stale air and worries.<br />
Be present to the moment and what is going well.  The body will follow what the mind and spirit expresses. It will want to feel as good as the mind is thinking.<br />
Health will improve with each burst of happiness. Find the bliss and become well!</p>

<p>The number one cause of all illness and disease is stress. All illnesses can be traced back to stresses in everyday life. Although some stress is essential and beneficial, most of us endure more than the body and the mind can handle. When that happens, the body begins to break down in attempts to cope with what is happening and can eventually shut down all together. A few simple tricks can quickly shift the mind and body to improved wellness and happiness.</p>
<p>1. Breathe: Taking a few deep breaths can clear out old stale air and let fresh clean air into the body. This not only aids in healing the body, but also can turn any tense situation into a manageable scenario, no matter whether it is a demanding boss or an argument with kids or spouse. Breathing is the first line of defense in any stressful situation.</p>
<p>2. Get back to basics: Taking a walk in the park or watching the clouds roll by through the window are simple ways to reduce stress created from excess thinking and worrying. Any empty mind is open to fresh ideas and possibilities.</p>
<p>3. Exercise: Redirecting that tension and stress into a physical activity such as running, swimming, playing tennis, stretching, or weight lifting also aids in improving the body and clears the mind. The added benefit is the great feeling of accomplishment at taking control of your health.</p>
<p>4. Drink more water: Our bodies are made up of mostly water. It is the life that flows through every cell and give us the energy and nourishment to get through the day. A well hydrated body is a happy body. When our body feels healthy, it is easier to handle challenges that may show up in our daily lives.</p>
<p>5. Take a nap: Ever heard the saying “let me sleep on it?” Problems can often be solved through the simple act of shutting down and resting. Even a quick 15-30 minute power nap can do wonders to refresh and rejuvenate the mind and body.</p>
<p>6. Say “Thank You”: Whether spoken silently in the mind or expressed out loud, taking a moment to appreciate any person or situation can transform instantly a stressful circumstance to one of opportunity. Can’t feel that gratitude in the moment? Think back to something worth being grateful for, even if it is that cup of tea or coffee in the morning or the big comfy bed at the end of the day.</p>
<p>Feeling good is the secret to reducing stress and improving health and happiness. Quick changes in actions and thoughts can make all of the difference from letting stress tear down the body, mind, and spirit to embracing every situation with peace, balance, and joy.</p>
