My best advice to any young person is to write down the top ten things you want in a partner, then become that person.

Natural Cure against Cancer
Dear friends: what you are about to read in the paragraphs below, was published in the “Listin Diario” Newspaper, in Santo Domingo, one month ago. To tell you the truth, after I first read this article, I didn't believe too much of what it was saying. This remedy (cure) belongs to a Franciscan monk in Belen (Brazil), named Fray Romano. Nowadays he is a teacher at the seminary in Belen. His fame is spreading all over, like he says: “I treat cancer and every single person can do it, without miracles, just by using the products Mother Nature is providing. Before I give you the recipe, I want to tell you about my personal experience with this Blessed Recipe. I know a lot of people which were cured after they had drunk the “potion”, people given only 1 month to live having different types of terminal cancer. After experiencing myself the benefits of this completely natural cure, I decided to let it spread all over the internet so every person that has a friend, parent, relative, that is suffering from this terrible illness, will be able to make and drink his own cure. I assure you, you will see results even from the first week after starting. It is working really fast.”
The cure for Cancer:
½ or 1 Kg of honey.
2 or 3 big leaves of Aloe Vera
3 spoons of brandy, whisky or other strong liquor.
You wipe the dust off the leaves and you take away the thorns. Then you cut the plant in small pieces. You put all the elements in a blender and you blend it till it becomes a thick paste. Like this you can already use it. You can put it in the refridgerator or leave it outside, as you wish.
YOU MUSN'T TAKE OFF THE EXTERIOR PART OF THE LEAF AND YOU SHOULDN'T PASS IT THROUGH A STRAINER !!!
Monk Romano advices us that we should take 1 table spoon 3 times a day, 15 minutes before each meal. This should last for at least 10 days. You can repeat up to 4 more times only if the medical results are not the ones you hoped for, until the total recovery. They mention there is a possibility that some abscesses of the skin may occur, but not to worry this is a normal good symptom and you mustn't worry.
He continues saying that if you don't see any hoped for results after the first part of the treatment (10 days) you should repeat it. If medical tests show that the tumor has not yet disappeared, you should do up to 4 more sets of treatments (10 days each), until you are completely healed. The monk used this free cure for 6 years with optimum results. He treated many people in Belen and surroundings. He is saying it doesn't just cure Cancer, it also prevents it. It cures skin cancer, brain tumors, lung cancer, prostate cancer, leukemia, etc.
He also tells us that he treated a 29 year old nun suffering from sclerosis.
He who wants a confirmation of a person cured by lung cancer can contact Mr. Fausto Pimentel, in Santo Domingo. Tel (809) 247-2316.
This gentleman published what has been written above to show his gratitude for his life, although they only gave him a few days to live.
As I'm concerned I know different people which can testify they were cured just like Mr. Pimentel. Please broadcast this message in any way you can. I would like to mention (not me, but the author who wrote this article,) that the treatment doesn't cure just cancer but it also resurrects damaged cells and strengthens our immune system.
Does this treatment heal us of any kind of cancer? The answer is YES.
What kinds of cancer does this treatment cure us of? The answer is ANY.
PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO ALL THE PEOPLE YOU KNOW. PLEASE HELP THE ONES, WHO SUFFER FROM BREAST OR ANY OTHER CANCER, MAKE THEM UNDERSTAND THEY MATTER AND THAT WE'RE ALL PRAYING FOR THEM. THANK YOU. MAY GOD BLESS YOU.

A beautiful, true story - Love
A Beautiful Story - Love
Author: John Powell
John Powell, a professor at Loyola University in Chicago writes about a student named Tommy in his "Theology of Faith" class:
Some twelve years ago, I stood watching my university students file into the classroom for our first session in the Theology of Faith. That was the day I first saw Tommy. My eyes and my mind both blinked. He was combing his long flaxen hair, which hung six inches below his shoulders.
It was the first time I had ever seen a boy with hair that long. I guess it was just coming into fashion then. I know in my mind that it isn't what's on your head but what's in it that counts; but on that day I was unprepared and my emotions flipped. I immediately filed Tommy under 'S' for strange, very strange.
Tommy turned out to be the "atheist in residence" in my Theology of Faith course. He constantly objected to, smirked at, or whined about the possibility of an unconditionally loving Father/God. We lived with each other in relative peace for one semester, although I admit he was, for me at times, a serious pain in the back pew.
When he came up at the end of the course to turn in his final exam, he asked in a slightly cynical tone, "Do you think I'll ever find God?"
I decided instantly on a little shock therapy. "No!" I said very emphatically.
"Oh," he responded, "I thought that was the product you were pushing."
I let him get five steps from the classroom door, then called out, "Tommy! I don't think you'll ever find Him, but I am absolutely certain that He will find you!"
He shrugged a little and left my class and my life. I felt slightly disappointed at the thought that he had missed my clever line: "He will find you!" At least I thought it was clever.
Later I heard that Tommy had graduated, and I was duly grateful. Then a sad report came. I heard Tommy had terminal cancer. Before I could search him out, he came to see me. When he walked into my office, his body was very badly wasted, and the long hair had all fallen out as a result of chemotherapy, but his eyes were bright, and his voice was firm for the first time, I believe.
"Tommy, I've thought about you so often. I hear you are sick," I blurted out.
"Oh, yes, very sick. I have cancer in both lungs. It's a matter of weeks."
"Can you talk about it, Tom?" I asked.
"Sure, what would you like to know?" he replied.
"What's it like to be only twenty-four and dying?"
"Well, it could be worse."
"Like what?"
"Well, like being fifty and having no values or ideals; like being fifty and thinking that booze, seducing women, and making money are the real 'biggies' in life."
(I began to look through my mental file cabinet under 'S' where I had filed Tommy as strange. It seems as though everybody I try to reject by classification, God sends back into my life to educate me.)
"But what I really came to see you about," Tom said, "is something you said to me on the last day of class."
(He remembered!)
He continued, "I asked you if you thought I would ever find God, and you said, 'No!’ which surprised me. Then you said, 'But He will find you.' I thought about that a lot, even though my search for God was hardly intense at that time.
(My clever line... He thought about that a lot!)
"But when the doctors removed a lump from my groin and told me that it was malignant, that's when I got serious about locating God. And when the malignancy spread into my vital organs, I really began banging bloody fists against the bronze doors of heaven, but God did not come out. In fact, nothing happened. Did you ever try something for a long time with great effort and with no success? You get psychologically glutted; fed up with trying. And then you quit.
Well, one day I woke up, and instead of throwing a few more futile appeals over that high brick wall to a God who may or may not be there, I just quit. I decided that I didn't really care about God, about an afterlife, or anything like that. I decided to spend what time I had left doing something more profitable. I thought about you and your class, and I remembered something else you had said: 'The essential sadness is to go through life without loving. But it would be almost equally sad to go through life and leave this world without ever telling those you loved that you had loved them.'
So, I began with the hardest one, my Dad. He was reading the newspaper when I approached him.
"Dad."
"Yes, what?" he asked without lowering the newspaper
"Dad, I would like to talk with you."
"Well, talk."
"I mean it's really important."
The newspaper came down three slow inches. "What is it?"
"Dad, I love you. I just wanted you to know that."
(Tom smiled at me and said it with obvious satisfaction, as though he felt a warm and secret joy flowing inside of him.)
"The newspaper fluttered to the floor. Then my father did two things I could never remember him ever doing before. He cried and he hugged me.
We talked all night, even though he had to go to work the next morning. It felt so good to be close to my father, to see his tears, to feel his hug, to hear him say that he loved me.
It was easier with my mother and little brother. They cried with me, too, and we hugged each other, and started saying really nice things to each other. We shared the things we had been keeping secret for so many years.
I was only sorry about one thing - that I had waited so long. Here I was, just beginning to open up to all the people I had actually been close to.
Then, one day, I turned around and God was there! He didn't come to me when I pleaded with Him. I guess I was like an animal trainer holding out a hoop; 'C'mon, jump through. C'mon, I'll give You three days, three weeks.' Apparently God does things in His own way and at His own hour. But the important thing is that He was there. He found me. You were right. He found me even after I stopped looking for Him."
"Tommy," I practically gasped, "I think you are saying something very important and much more universal than you realize. To me, at least, you are saying that the surest way to find God is not to make Him a private possession, a problem solver, or an instant consolation in time of need, but rather to open up to love. You know, the Apostle John said that.
He said: 'God is love, and anyone who lives in love is living with God and God is living in him.'
Tom, could I ask you a favor? You know, when I had you in class you were a real pain. But (laughingly) you can make it all up to me now. Would you come into my present Theology of Faith course and tell them what you have just told me? If I told them the same thing it wouldn't be half as effective as if you were to tell them."
"Ooh ... I was ready for you, but I don't know if I'm ready for your class."
"Tom, think about it. If and when you are ready, give me a call."
In a few days, Tom called, said he was ready for the class that he wanted to do that for God and for me. So we scheduled a date, but he never made it. He had another appointment, far more important than the one with me and my class.
Of course, his life was not really ended by his death, only changed. He made the great step from faith into vision. He found a life far more beautiful than the eye of man has ever seen or the ear of man has ever heard, or the mind of man has ever imagined.
Before he died, we talked one last time.
"I'm not going to make it to your class," he said.
"I know, Tom."
"Will you tell them for me? Will you tell the whole world for me?" "I will, Tom. I'll tell them. I'll do my best."
So, to all of you who have been kind enough to hear this simple statement about love, thank you for listening. And to you, Tommy, somewhere in the sunlit, verdant hills of heaven - I told them, Tommy, as best I could.
If this story means anything to you, please pass it on to a friend or two. It is a true story and is not enhanced for publicity purposes.

Awesome story
Awesome Story
Author: Ken Gaub
At the time I was driving on 1-75 near Dayton, Ohio, with my wife and children. We turned off the highway for a rest and refreshment stop. My wife, Barbara, and children went into the restaurant. I suddenly felt the need to stretch my legs, so waved them off ahead saying I’d join them later.
I bought a soft drink, and as I walked toward a Dairy Queen, feelings of self pity enshrouded my mind. I loved the Lord and my ministry, but I felt drained, burdened. My cup was empty.
Suddenly, the impatient ringing of a telephone nearby jarred me out of my doldrums. It was coming from a phone booth at a service station on the corner. Wasn’t anyone going to answer the phone? Noise from the traffic flowing through the busy intersection must have drowned out the sound because the service station attendant continued looking after his customers, oblivious to the incessant ringing.
“Why doesn’t somebody answer that phone?” I muttered. I began reasoning. It may be important. What if it’s an emergency? Curiosity overcame my indifference. I stepped inside the booth and picked up the phone.
“Hello,” I said casually and took a big sip of my drink. The operator said: “Long distance call for Ken Gaub.” My eyes widened, and I almost choked on a chunk of ice.
Swallowing hard, I said, “You’re crazy!” Then, realizing I shouldn’t speak to an operator like that, I added, “This can’t be! I was walking down the road, not bothering anyone, and the phone was ringing....”
“Is Ken Gaub there?” the operator interrupted, “I have a long distance call for him.”
It took a moment to gain control of my babbling, but I finally replied, “Yes, he is here.” Searching for a possible explanation, wondered if I could possibly be on Candid Camera!
Still shaken, perplexed, I asked, “How in the world did you reach me here? I was walking down the road, the pay phone started ringing, and I just answered it by chance. You can’t mean me.”
“Well,” the operator asked, “is Mr. Gaub there or isn’t he?”
“Yes, I am Ken Gaub,” I said, finally convinced by the tone of her voice that the call was real.
Then, I heard another voice say, “Yes, that’s him, operator. That’s Ken Gaub.”
I listened dumbfounded to a strange voice identify herself. “I’m Millie from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. You don’t know me, Mr. Gaub, but I’m desperate. Please help me.”
“What can I do for you?”
She began weeping. Finally, she regained control and continued, “I was about to commit suicide, had just finished writing a note, when I began to pray and tell God I really didn’t want to do this. Then, I suddenly remembered seeing you on television and thought if I could just talk to you, you could help me. I knew that was impossible because I didn’t know how to reach you: I didn’t know anyone who could help me find you. Then, some numbers came to my mind, and I scribbled them down.”
At this point she began weeping again, and I prayed silently for wisdom to help her. She continued, “I looked at the numbers and thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be wonderful if I had a miracle from God, and He has given me Ken’s phone number?’ I decided to try calling it. I can’t believe I’m talking to you.
Are you in your office in California?”
I replied, “Lady, I don’t have an office in California. My office is in
Yakima, Washington.”
A little surprised, she asked, “Oh, really, then where are you?”
“Don’t you know?” I responded. “You made the call.”
She explained, “...but I don’t even know what area I’m calling. I just dialed the number that I had on this paper.”
“Ma’am, you won’t believe this, but I’m in a phone booth in Dayton, Ohio!”
“Really?” she exclaimed. “Well, what are you doing there?”
I kidded her gently, “Well, I’m answering the phone. It was ringing as I walked by; so, I answered it.”
Knowing this encounter could only have been arranged by God, I began to counsel the woman. As she told me of her despair and frustration, the presence of the Holy Spirit flooded the phone booth giving me words of wisdom beyond my ability. In a matter of moments, she prayed the sinner’s prayer and met the One who would lead her out of her situation into a new life.
I walked away from that telephone booth with an electrifying sense of our heavenly Father’s concern for each of His children. What were the astronomical odds of this happening? With all the millions of phones and innumerable combinations of numbers, only an all-knowing God could have caused that woman to call that number in that phone booth at that moment in time.
Forgetting my drink and nearly bursting with exhilaration, I headed back to my family, wondering if they would believe my story. “Maybe I had better not tell this,” I thought, but I couldn’t contain it. “Barb, you won’t believe this: God knows where I am!”
“Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.” –Jeremiah 33:3
“Roep My aan, en Ek sal jou antwoord en jou bekend maak groot en ondeurgrondelike dinge wat jy nie weet nie.” –Jeremiah 33:3

Then, I suddenly remembered seeing you on television and thought if I could just talk to you, you could help me. I knew that was impossible because I didn’t know how to reach you: I didn’t know anyone who could help me find you. Then, some numbers came to my mind, and I scribbled them down.”
At this point she began weeping again, and I prayed silently for wisdom to help her. She continued, “I looked at the numbers and thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be wonderful if I had a miracle from God, and He has given me Ken’s phone number?’ I decided to try calling it. I can’t believe I’m talking to you.
Are you in your office in California?”
I replied, “Lady, I don’t have an office in California. My office is in
Yakima, Washington.”
A little surprised, she asked, “Oh, really, then where are you?”
“Don’t you know?” I responded. “You made the call.”
She explained, “...but I don’t even know what area I’m calling. I just dialed the number that I had on this paper.”
“Ma’am, you won’t believe this, but I’m in a phone booth in Dayton, Ohio!”
“Really?” she exclaimed. “Well, what are you doing there?”
I kidded her gently, “Well, I’m answering the phone. It was ringing as I walked by; so, I answered it.”
Knowing this encounter could only have been arranged by God, I began to counsel the woman. As she told me of her despair and frustration, the presence of the Holy Spirit flooded the phone booth giving me words of wisdom beyond my ability. In a matter of moments, she prayed the sinner’s prayer and met the One who would lead her out of her situation into a new life.
I walked away from that telephone booth with an electrifying sense of our heavenly Father’s concern for each of His children. What were the astronomical odds of this happening? With all the millions of phones and innumerable combinations of numbers, only an all-knowing God could have caused that woman to call that number in that phone booth at that moment in time.
Forgetting my drink and nearly bursting with exhilaration, I headed back to my family, wondering if they would believe my story. “Maybe I had better not tell this,” I thought, but I couldn’t contain it. “Barb, you won’t believe this: God knows where I am!”
“Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.” –Jeremiah 33:3
“Roep My aan, en Ek sal jou antwoord en jou bekend maak groot en ondeurgrondelike dinge wat jy nie weet nie.” –Jeremiah 33:3
Prevention and cure for colds etc....
Onion Health
Onions are very effective against cold symptoms, coughs and asthma, as well as helping with insomnia, and repelling insects.
An open jar containing an onion, left beside the bed, will help with breathing, relaxation, and restful sleep as well as reducing snoring, wheezing and coughing. With the added benefit of keeping insects at bay!
The stronger tasting onions have a higher nutrient content than the sweeter, smoother tasting type. Shallots have proved to be the most health giving type of onion, having up to 6 times more of the health giving components than other onions.
The oligomers in onions help the growth of healthy bifidobacteria and fight harmful bacteria, especially in the colon, and help reduce the risk of tumours, and colon and stomach cancer.
Onions are rich in flavonoids, which protect against cardiovascular disease, and their sulphur content also helps prevent clumping of platelets.
Onions are helpful in lowering the risk of blood clots, which makes them useful in fighting cardiovascular disease.
These pungent vegetables are rich in vitamin C, making them helpful with fighting colds, and also in chromium, helping cells respond to insulin, and lowering blood sugars.
Onions are also active in keeping levels of cholesterol and triglycerides balanced, increasing the good HDL, and decreasing LDL levels, thus preventing arteriosclerosis, heart attack and stroke.
Regular consumption of onion, like its cousin the garlic, will greatly reduce the risk of cancer in various forms, including: larynx, pharynx, oesophagus, oral cavity, breast, ovaries, prostate, renal, colon and stomach.
Onions rival milk for maintaining bone health, making them especially beneficial for women, particularly at menopausal age, to prevent osteoporosis.
Apart from their vitamin C content, onions have chromium, dietary fibre, manganese, vitamins A and B6, folate, potassium, molybdenum, copper, phosphorus, calcium and iron.
Onion is known to be a powerful antiseptic, and an onion paste was widely used in World War II to help close wounds and ease pain.
The many functions of the onion include:
Anaemia
Because of its high content of iron, the onion is extremely helpful in the treatment of anaemia
Anticoagulant
Just one small onion a day, makes a big difference to cholesterol levels, so helping to prevent heart disease.
Anti-inflammatory
The natural anti-inflammatory in onions help to relieve symptoms in arthritis and gout, among other inflammatory diseases.
Antiseptic
A natural antiseptic, onion fights bacteria in the digestive system, including E. coli and salmonella, as well as bacteria in the respiratory system, making it effective against tuberculosis bronchitis etc. Onion is also effective against infections of the urinary tract (UTIs) including cystitis.
For treating UTIs, boil some onion in water, let the water reduce by about half, strain and leave to cool. Drunk cold, this will help relieve irritation and burning.
Blood Pressure and Cholesterol
Both raw and cooked onions help in lowering BP, as well as thinning blood, dissolving clots, and clearing fats, cholesterol and triglycerides from the bloodstream.
Cancer
Apart from helping prevent cancer in the stomach and colon, will also relieve constipation and flatulence. Helpful in most stomach problems, in fact.
Hearing
Some cultures use onion juice on cotton wool to help against tinnitis, or 'ringing' in the ear.
Onion juice has also been claimed to promote hair growth, when applied to the scalp, although this has not been proven.
Osteoporosis
Onions have proved helpful in strengthening of bones, and the prevention of bone breakdown.
Respiration
Onion juice mixed with honey helps to break down mucus, thus helping against coughs and colds, and respiratory problems. Also useful in fighting infection, reduce fever, and other flu symptoms. This mixture is particularly helpful with asthma, taken three or four times a day will help to stave off attacks.
Many people who find onions irritate their eyes, will run them under cold water to cut them, but this can wash away a lot of the benefits. Better to chill onions in the fridge, or a couple of minutes in the freezer, before cutting, and use a very sharp knife which will cut through with less 'squirting'.
So in answer to the question "how healthy are onions?" The response is "Extremely! Very! Amazingly!"
Like anything else, they are much more beneficial in their raw state, but still retain their goodness when cooked, provided you don't overcook. Many people cannot take raw onions to their system, for whatever reason, but lightly cooking is okay. Cooking them until they are soft and opaque, they are still beneficial. Fried until brown and starting to crisp, they've lost a lot. Adding them to stews and soups is fine as the nutrients remain in the dish.
Add onions to your diet as often as you can, and reap the benefits. You will find the way that you like best to eat them, and you are only doing your body good.

Agent of Kindness
Spy specializes in acts of kindness
By Daveen Rae Kurutz, Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, August 16, 2010
Most Pittsburghers have never met Laura Miller, but her alter ego, “Secret Agent L,” has touched thousands of people by making their days a little brighter.
An administrative assistant by day, Miller, 32, of Shadyside has masqueraded online as a secret agent of kindness since July 2009, documenting the random gifts she and fellow “agents” have left across the region for strangers to find. Gifts have included fresh picked flowers, $10 gift cards to various shops and inexpensive toiletries.
“It’s another good way to let people know that they aren’t alone,” Miller said. “We’re letting people know there’s someone out there who isn’t buying into the anger and the hate and the yuck that is out in the world. We’re making deliberate choices to do what’s good.”
During the past year, what started with a single purple hydrangea on a windshield, turned into a top secret mission that leaves strangers pleasantly surprised across the globe. Through her blog, Miller’s affiliated agents have gone on hundreds of missions of kindness. They return with the tale and photos of what they did to brighten a stranger’s day.
Miller’s first mission last year was completed as a birthday present for a fellow blogger who asked Miller to perform a random act of kindness in lieu of a gift. Once the creative wheels started turning, Miller paired up with coworker and friend Vivian Lee Croft to execute her plan.
Now, Croft is “Agent 99” to Miller’s “Maxwell Smart” and helps her friend devise and carry out new missions. The pair’s favorite was when they visited Allegheny General Hospital during a breast cancer event, leaving dozens of tiny gifts throughout the hospital.
“People don’t see out of their daily box because they’re so bogged down in life,” said Croft, 33, of the North Side. “(The hospital visit) made the importance of doing good things so real to me.”
Since a story on CNN.com shared her secret identity with the world, Miller’s e-mail inbox has been bulging with messages from people who want to help. Her group of agents has increased from 80 to more than 700 and grows every day. Visitors to her website, www.SecretAgentL.com, can sign up to become affiliated agents and be charged with a gift anonymously for someone.
“The thing that makes me the happiest is all the new affiliated agents that want to come on board,” Croft said. “These people now have worth. They feel like they can make a difference, like they matter.”
Miller is amazed at the amount of people who want to carry on her mission.
Each day, she e-mails dozens of “Secret Agent L” business cards for agents to attach to their gifts. Even a year later, she gets a thrill from leaving a $5 gift card or a blooming flower with a note for a stranger to find.
“You don’t need large sums of money to make a difference in someone’s life, you don’t need to be rich, you don’t need to be famous—you just have to care.”

Sciatic nerve and other problems... naturally cured, without operation
Please take a look here:
http://www.dorn-method.com/index_files/BreussMassageDornMethod.htm
The Breuss Massage
The Breuss Massage is a very gentle Spinal Massage that safely stretches, nourishes, aligns, energizes and heals our back!
It was developed by the late Austrian Healer Rudolf Breuss and it is a perfect combination with the Dorn Method.
Most Dorn Method Courses also teach the Breuss Massage today.
Rudolf Breuss said that there is no such thing as ‘wear’ if the intervertebral disc but the discs are somewhat ‘degenerated’, and he was convinced that regeneration is possible. Certainly the results achieved with the Breuss Massage suggest that this is quite possible!
For basic understanding: Our Spine is like any other living organism, it is in a constant state of ‘stress and relief’, needs nourishment, rest but also the right amount of ‘stress’ in a sense in form of active movements to maintain its strength and function. During the day our Spine and especially our ‘discs’ are stressed and they need to fulfill their duty as shock-absorbers whenever we stand , walk or sit. Because of that the discs are squeezed, some of the liquid within gets out and the discs gets thinner. We are actually a little shorter in the evening compared to the morning after standing up! During sleep the Spine relaxes and stretches out and the discs somewhat can regenerate by ‘sucking’ the liquid they lost during the day back in, almost like a dry sponge placed in water. This mechanism is altered in a negative way when our metabolism is not in a balance or impaired for many different reasons.
The Breuss Massage is actively replacing in a sense a whole and healthy full night sleep by stretching the Spine and Using natural Oil in the Process the discs are nourished like the sponge given water. In this relaxed state the Spine also can be safely and painless re-aligned.
Healing Techniques further help in the regeneration process and balance the Spinal Energies so Blockages in the Physical as well as in the Psychical and Spiritual Levels are resolved!
I use the Breuss Massage in combination with the Dorn Therapy or as its own standing form of therapy. When the patient has strong sciatic pains or is very tense then I usually do the Breuss Massage before the Dorn Therapy to take away some of the pain and tension which can make the following alignment more effective.
Time required is only about 25 minutes but can easily be longer if you want.
Everybody who learns and experiences the Breuss Massage is convinced that this Massage technique is unique, highly effective, safe and totally relaxing. It has a definite potential to become a often asked for Massage Therapy in Wellness centers, Rehabilitation Facilities, Therapy Centers and other Health Clinics.
Because the Breuss Massage contains some Non Manipulative Healing Techniques it can be a link between Physical and Non Physical Therapies like Healing and bring both Sides closer together, which in turn allows a more ‘wholistic’ approach towards health and well-being.
Procedure:
The patient lies outstretched on the belly with the neck straight, head not tilted to the side if possible. Patient must be reached from both sides. The Spine must be reachable (adjust clothing accordingly). Feet best on a cushion. Maybe a little background music and some decent smell from an aromatherapy lamp.
Try to establish a relaxed atmosphere.
The Masseur stays on the right side of the patient if he/she is right handed and vise versa. With the right hand flat on the Spine and the left hand on top of the right hand strokes are made gentle but firm - NEVER CAUSE PAIN!- from the neck down to the coccyx that finish without any whiplash effect! The Therapist exhales while stroking down the back. This is repeated minimum 10 times. Use very little or no oil first to achieve more friction and therefore more stretching effect.
The second stroke also called pincer grip stretches the Spine even further. The strokes are started in the middle of the spine then the hands move up and downwards. This is also repeated minimum 10 times.
Now these first two strokes are done once more but with lots of Oil applied to the back of the patient. The oil now penetrates and nourishes the Spine effectively after the stretching.
When finished with this the two alignment strokes are applied: First pass down the Spine with the index and middle finger directly next to the Spinous processes using firm but gentle pressure. The left hand adds pressure onto the fingers while stroking downwards. That is repeated 10 times min.
Second stroke: Starting with the hand on the upper hip area they are moved in a heart-shape upwards to meet at the neck but only with light touch, then moving back down, the fingers close together, firm pressure is applied with both middle fingers on the side of the spinous processes. This is done again minimum 10 times.
Now comes the energizing and healing part: Oil is added to the Spine again then a sheet of Silk-paper (Japanese paper) is place onto the Spine with the shiny side towards the body. The therapist passes with a very light touch downwards along the back and when one hand reaches the sacrum the other starts on the neck. This motion almost looks like a harmonious swimming stroke. The paper acts as a capacitor and insulator for the now stirred up energy. This is done for bout a minute or less. Part two of the healing: (Magnetizing) Right handed therapist stand now on the left side of the patient and vise versa, because of the polarity of hand and body.
The Hands are placed on the lower back at the sacrum and lumbar area with very light touch and the hand must not touch each other to avoid a short circuit. The Therapist now channels Live Force (Divine Energy, Love, Light etc.) into the patient for about one minute and then changes hand position upwards to cover the rest of the Back while repeating the procedure. Last position is then with the hand close to neck and the other at the sacrum the fingers pointing downwards.
When the healing is done the therapist wipes the aura (energy field) 3 times by slightly touching the body and another 3 times stroking downwards without touching the body. To finish the therapist imagines a zipper he then closes from the coccyx upwards over the head towards the forehead (third eye). The gratitude is expressed to the Universe (Divine) and the patient.
This ends the Breuss Massage.
The patients still rests while the therapist washes the hands. The paper now is removed and disposed, the remaining oil wiped of and the patient slowly brought back to reality with a last stroke over the sacrum.
Therapist use mostly St. John’s wort oil (in Europe) and her in the tropics I prefer extra virgin coconut oil for this Massage.
In my opinion the Breuss Massage is one of the nicest Massage techniques ever developed and the results are remarkable as well.
For proper conduct please attend a workshop with an authorized Dorn Method Teacher first
