The importance and benefits of Massage Therapy

  Why is having a high degree of Spiritual health so important? Do you ever wonder why some people seem to have very blessed lives and others seem to struggle? It isn't always linked to economic status or luck but can be connected to something much deeper and profound. There are three aspects of Spirituality that combine to affect every aspect of our lives and these are as follows: our relationships with both ourselves and others, our core values and our soul purpose in life. As human beings we are constantly changing as we evolve and our sense of consciousness increases. With age comes wisdom and an increased insight into what and who truly makes us happy .

  What is Consciousness and why is it so beneficial to our lives? The definition of consciousness is to be fully aware of the connection within yourself. Through learning to be fully conscious, our state of awareness is increased, allowing us to understand ourselves better and to be fully present with not only our surroundings but our thoughts and emotions also.
