Hello,
You may have noticed that I didn't send a January issue of Just the Right Touch. This marks a change in my publication: I am no longer going to be committed to a monthly schedule. I will send issues as I have information to provide.
I really appreciate the people who read this little newsletter, and if you have any specific interests, please let me know.

Stretching vs. Warming Up
Stretching is important. but you need to understand that stretching is not the same as warming up. The purpose of stretching is to lengthen muscle fibers and give you more flexibility.
The purpose of warming up is to distribute heat throughout your muscles and prepare your body for more strenuous activities. Warmup exercises are very light strength-type exercises designed to slowly deepen your breathing, raise your heart rate, and increase blood flow in the tissues. Warm tissues are less likely to be injured!
Stretching before you warm-up can actually increase your risk of injury. Stretching cold stresses tendons and ligaments in a way that over a period of time makes them more vulnerable to injury.

Breast Self-Massage
Self-massage for your own breasts may help prevent breast cancer.
Breast tissue is made up of fat, glands, blood vessels, milk ducts, connective tissue, nerves, and a network of lymphatic vessels. The lymphatic fluid leaves the breast through the lymphatic vessels, which empty into a system of glands (lymph nodes) that filter lymph fluid.
These lymph nodes are linked throughout the body and are a major line of defense against the spread of disease. When lymphatic vessels and nodes become restricted because of lack of physical movement, or clothing that is too tight, the body’s defense system begins to break down and disease can set in.

Wouldn't it be great if you were master of your thoughts, instead of a slave to them?
So, for instance, when you want to be chilled out and relaxed, you can gently stop yourself from worrying about work. Or, if you need to be super-focused on the task at hand, you can quit dreaming about the weekend and harness all your mental resources to help you.
Well, you can. Not by effort, not by willpower, not by hypnosis ... but by simply listening to a special CD.
For years scientists have understood the relationship between audio frequencies and brainwave patterns and how to induce certain states of mind by listening to certain sounds. They call these sounds Binaural Beats.
Now, thanks to the new range of Binaural Beat CDs you can use this amazing technology to create whatever state of mind you wish. So, for instance you can use the 'Digital Drug' CD to create a feeling of euphoria and 'oneness' with the world; the 'Ultra-Deep Meditation' CD to reach the same meditative states it take gurus and Tibetan monks years to master; or the 'Razor Sharp Focus CD' to make your mind as concentrated as a laser beam.
With the correct application of binaural beat technology, you can train your mind to work for you, rather than against you. Check out these Binaural Beat CDs.
