I look for eyes that sparkle, for hearts abounding in joyousness
and love. I look for smiling, upturned faces waiting on the presence all the day. I look for those who listen with intent
to hear the word of goodwill and then run to do that word, to be that will, to prove the law as love in action, in
service, and in service, and in service. Buddhist

Benefits of Massage for Your Company and Staff
Massage is Elegant Touch creating trust, warmth, peace, empathy and respect. A sacred
act performed to honour the body, which is a sacred temple. It is a rewarding journey taking you on a voyage of discovery,
change, innovation and rejuvenation, eliminating dis-ease. An act of celebration in which the experience of the giver is just
as important as the experience of the receiver. You choose how you want to feel after the session. You may decide you want
to feel energised, centred, free, peaceful, relaxed, open, lighter, happier, hopeful or better than you feel at the moment.
The choice is yours. Toks will turn the negative feeling into a positive feeling, thus creating a more positive and
empowering feeling in your mind, body and spirit.
THE BODY SYSTEMS
Massage is truly
amazing as it affects the body systems (i.e. immune, lymphatic, nervous, cardiovascular, muscular, endocrine, respiratory,
digestive, reproductive, urinary and skeletal). Each body system works as a separate entity and is also dependent on the others
for physical and biochemical support, a true functioning co-operative.
The SKELETAL SYSTEM is the framework on which the rest of the body is built. The main mineral
stored in the bones is calcium; others include phosphorus, magnesium and salts. Bones offer protection to the internal organs.
The marrow in bone is where the red blood cells and some white blood cells are produced.
The CARDIOVASCULAR
SYSTEM pumps blood around the body and is nearly 90,000 miles long! On average blood completes a full circuit around
the body in approximately one minute. All body organs and tissues need a supply of oxygenated blood and the removal of waste
products.
The NERVOUS SYSTEM consists of the brain, spinal cord and nerve branches. The brain covers
consciousness and creativity and controls all body movements. The body and brain are alive with billions of electrical and
chemical signals made by the nerve cells {neurons}. These signals are unconscious and keep the body safe and functioning properly.
This system works with the endocrine glands to monitor and maintain other systems.
The ENDOCRINE
SYSTEM cover the hormones secreted by the endocrine glands and other organs which circulate in the blood and other
body fluids helping the body to maintain an optical internal environment and initiates body changes that take place at puberty,
pregnancy, during ageing and menopause.
The IMMUNE SYSTEM is the body's security force,
protecting the body against invasion from outside and subversion from within. It protects the body against infectious diseases
and internal malfunctions. It protects the body from viruses, bacteria and chemicals in the air we breathe into our body.
The LYMPHATIC SYSTEM helps combat infections, virus infections and tumour cells e.g. cancer.
The RESPIRATORY SYSTEM helps us to breathe as it carries air in and out of the lungs,
where gases are exchanged [i.e. supplying vital oxygen and removing waste carbon dioxide]. The Cardiovascular System transports
these gases to and from all body tissues, supplying vital oxygen and removing carbon dioxide, a waste product of the body
processes.
The DIGESTIVE SYSTEM is 30ft of tubing from the mouth to the anus. Its task is the physical
and chemical breakdown of food. It stores food, digests its, makes use of nutrients and eliminates wastes. A healthy digestive
system depends on the proper functioning of the Immune and Nervous System.
The REPRODUCTIVE
SYSTEM is the body's biological centrepiece. It is the only system that can be removed without threatening a
person's life and functions only for a part of the human life span.
The URINARY
SYSTEM is mainly made up of the kidneys and bladder. The kidney forms urine, which is eliminated via the bladder.
It eliminates waste and helps to maintain the body's chemical balance. Production of urine is influenced by blood flow,
blood pressure, hormones, even sleep and waking!
