Recently I started a course learning Holistic Massage. We have a holiday lodge and I thought it would be nice to be able to offer some treatments to our guests. I've also been learning Reiki and Reflexology. My first day went great, being taught different methods of massage, we gave massages and received them. It will definitely help improve confidence as massage is obviously hands on and doing it on a partner is one thing but massaging a stranger is another. It was a different experience but one that im sure will become easier once the actual techniques become second nature. I now have a lot of friends and family lined up to practice on and look forward to my next lesson. I love the buzz of learning new things its exciting, slightly nerve wracking, it expands your mind and gives you something to look forward to. I have also done my Reiki 1 course which was so interesting. Reiki is quite hard to explain as its more of a feeling, it promotes healing and well being and can stimulate personal and spiritual growth, encourages healthy changes in lifestyle. It is a safe gentle non-intrusive hands on technique that you can use on yourself or others using spiritual energy. I am finding it so relaxing to do on myself and can feel the energy flowing through me. I highly recommend trying it as a good form of relaxation. The first reflexology class was good fun too. Reflexology works on areas of the feet that are connected to parts of the body, again another safe relaxing treatment. By the end of day one we had all drawn on each others feet and given and received a simple reflexology treatment. It is all so interesting and fun and im enjoying practicing, im definitely going to have super soft hands too. If there was one thing you would like to learn what would it be? What's stopping you from making a start? Anything is worth trying as it could lead to other things and it will also get you meeting new people. Get looking today and see what you can find. Good luck and have fun. Much Love Jo x
I'd love to do a beauty course by a professional artist, the main thing holding me back is money, not just having the money but spending a significant amount on myself when I have a young family and wanting to spend it on things they need or things we need as a family.
