Courses in Reflexology
Author: CarolAnn Bailey-Lloyd   | Posted: 01-07-2008 | Comments: 0 | Views: 12 | Rating: (196)  (?) 
 Prospective natural healers have a wide assortment of academic programs from which to choose -- among some of the popular training options, courses in reflexology are one of unique healing arts' programs that can be completed in a few months' time.
Ear, foot, and hand courses in reflexology can be taken individually as introductory classes; or for more in-depth training, there are reflexology certification classes as well. To become certified in reflexology, typical instruction is roughly 150-300 hours in length; however, there are a number of massage therapy programs that have integrated reflexology as an elective course or as part of the overall curriculum.
Though some may consider this healing art to be a form of massage therapy, it is more than just bodywork. In addition to promoting relaxation and stress relief, courses in reflexology teach future healers how to appropriately identify reflex zones on the feet to reduce pain and other health symptoms.
In courses in reflexology, students learn the philosophies of this age-old healing art, which is founded on the principles of energy healing and meridian therapy. While enrolled, individuals learn how to use specific touch methods and pressure points along the "reflex zones" of the feet (and other body parts) to unblock energy flow within the meridians (energy channels). By unblocking these channels, it is believed that balance is restored to specific body organs; and this is how self-healing is initiated.
If you (or someone you know) are interested in learning more about these or other natural health programs, let professional training within fast-growing industries like massage therapy, naturopathy, acupuncture, Chinese medicine, Reiki, and others get you started!

How to Use a Telescope - Reflector Telescopes an Introduction
By: John B. Mayall | 18/08/2008
Telescopes are of two main types – reflectors and refractors. The fundamental difference between both types is the kind of glasses used for light collection. Refractors use lenses while reflectors use mirrors. Going back to school physics, it is obvious that light from distant bodies, like celestial objects, comes at us as a parallel beam. Due to this parallel nature of the light rays, reflector telescopes use parabolic mirrors.
Chempedia.com: Now and Then. It’s Almost Useful…
By: ChemStudent | 18/08/2008
A couple of months ago I came across Chempedia.com, apparently a “a free and continuously-updated online” encyclopaedia of chemical compounds. So I checked it out, only to find a very basic layout, minimal information about a minimal number of compounds. And so it was pushed to the back of my brain with all the other millions of crappy websites I’ve had the displeasure to find whilst mindless browsing the interwebs. But after surfing back over there randomly this week I things have changed...

How Do Telescopes Work - Building a Telescope of Your Own
By: John B. Mayall | 12/08/2008
Constructing a telescope by oneself is not too difficult if the levels of enthusiasm for the task are just right. Of course, the whole idea also hinges on the type of telescope one has the intention of creating. If it is a simple device that one wants, something that is the simplest form of a telescopic instrument, then it is an easy task. However, for an instrument that is capable of allowing the user to explore the skies, then considerable more effort and investment will be required.
