At the end of the day, what Natural Therapy Pages is all about is getting the most out of life. The practitioners listed on our pages range from acupressurists to yoga instructors. While they may teach very different modalities, they are all people who have discovered something that improved their lives and want to share their knowledge with others.
If you're visiting Natural Therapy Pages, it's probably because you, too, want to improve your life. Well, you've come to the right place. Here are 5 ways to get more out of life, just to get you started in the right direction:
1. Learn Something New
Life becomes listless if we're not learning. The things we learn in school are great building blocks for further learning, but if we look at learning just from the perspective of creating better job opportunities, we are missing out on much of what an education has to offer. Some of the schools listed on Natural Therapy Pages that can help you get more out of life include:
- Crystal Therapy - Learning the secrets of crystal therapy may open doors to other dimensions of life such as energy healing, chakra work and other fascinating subjects.
- Feng Shui is an art that originated in ancient Taoist China. Not only will you learn how to attract good fortune into your life by arranging your environment according to the principles of Feng Shui, you'll learn a completely different world view.
- Touch for Health is an easy-to-learn energy healing modality based on Traditional Chinese Medicine. You can use it for enhancing your own health and well being or use it on your friends and family even without having to take practitioner level training.
2. Find a Personal Trainer
If you've tried to stick to an exercise program and failed, a personal trainer may be all it takes to get you in the habit of exercising more and getting the most out of the exercise you get. Contrary to what many people think, you don't need to be a celebrity to afford a personal trainer. Some work in fitness centres and others are available for private consultation at reasonable hourly rates. Whether it's for weight loss or to reach an athletic goal, a personal trainer can help you with everything from exercise programs to diet and rehabilitation.
3. Find a Life Coach
A life coach is a bit like a personal trainer for your life. Life coaches can help you with all aspects of your life: business, personal and even spiritual. A trained life coach can help you overcome mental blocks, work with you to set goals and take the steps to achieve them. Basically, a life coach is there to assist you in uncovering your hidden potential for greater happiness and fulfillment.
4. Find a Personal Counsellor
We often think of counsellors as people we only see when we have serious psychological problems. Actually, though, there are almost as many types of counsellors as there are issues to be addressed:
- A hypnotherapist may be able to help you overcome an addiction, lose weight, sleep better or get you past a seemingly intractable problem that's keeping you from getting the most out of life.
- A shamanic counsellor can help you delve into the deeper regions of consciousness.
- An NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) practitioner can teach you ways to use language, both verbal and body, to achieve goals, improve relationships, overcome mental blocks and dozens of other major and minor roadblocks to a more fulfilling life.
5. Random Acts of Kindness
Those who engage in community service or otherwise find ways to help others often find that the best way to receive a happy and fulfilling life is to give to others. It doesn't need to be anything spectacular: a smile of encouragement, a helping hand and other random acts of kindness can go a long way towards improving your own outlook on life.
If you're looking for a fulfilling career, asking, "How can I help?" is a much better question than, "How much does it pay?" This isn't just a nice sentiment: many studies have shown that those who put service before profit are happier and even more successful than others. Who knows? You may even find your calling in life through a random act of kindness.
