THE MAGIC TOUCH Massage catches on as a stress reliever
Rochester massage therapist Christine Holme says every massage should start with a warm, comfortable atmosphere. With today's emphasis on holistic health, massage has risen from the ill repute of back-alley parlors to an accepted form of physical therapy, sports rehabilitation and stress relief.
``It's so exciting to see massage up and coming,'' said Rochester massage therapist Christine Holme. ``Ten years ago you couldn't even give one away. They associated massage with massage parlors.'' Now, more people feel comfortable visiting massage therapists just to relax and feel better.
But you don't have to shell out a lot of money at a spa to get the benefits of a good massage. You can do it for virtually nothing at home.
When done correctly, massage can relax muscles, increase circulation, reduce swelling, relieve pain and reduce scars and adhesions. It can also decrease stress and fulfill needs for human touch.
Holme, who teaches massage through Rochester Community Education, said every massage should start with a warm, comfortable atmosphere.
``You want to have it when it's quiet,'' she said. ``You want to take the telephone off the hook. You want some nice, relaxing music because it relaxes the person giving it and the person receiving it.''
Susan Raye of Susan Raye's Therapeutic Touch and School of Massage in Rochester said massage tables cost $200 to $400, so it's much more economical to give the massage on a firm mattress or on the floor.
Holme said a picnic table covered with blankets or some foam would also work for a back massage, while the floor is best for a foot massage.
To give a head and neck massage, have the receiver sit on a chair in front of a table with pillows in his or her lap to cushion the upper body.
Using a lubricant, such as massage lotion or oil, can help minimize friction and skin irritation. Such lotions are available in a variety of scents and forms in health food and bath and body stores.
But Holme mixes her own by combining plain cooking oil with essential plant oils that she finds at health food stores. English lavender, she said, is particularly uplifting.
You can warm the oil or lotion in a pot of water on the stove, in the microwave or simply in your hands. But be careful not to get them too hot; they heat up very quickly. You should also keep them away from the eyes.
Holme also advises massage givers to remove any jewelry, such as rings, that could scratch the receiver.
To give a massage, simply knead and stroke the skin on the back, head, neck, hands or feet using as much or as little pressure as the receiver feels comfortable with.
The receiver should tell the giver what he or she likes; the giver should watch the receiver's responses and adjust the pressure, speed and direction accordingly.
``As long as the two people communicate well, there is little harm that can be done, and there's more good,'' Raye said. ``It's being sensitive and intuitive enough to get the right pressure and speed.''
However, people with skin infections, cancer, heart disease, broken bones or other questionable conditions shouldn't receive massages without first consulting their physician.
Holme said couples should have an even exchange of massage, meaning each partner gives massage as much as they get it. And that massage should be rotated night to night so the receiver can really relax.
``Otherwise, you can't really get relaxed because you're thinking `now I've got to get up and do this,' '' she said. ``A big, big factor that is part of the massage is trust. If I didn't trust someone, I wouldn't let them give me a massage.''
She also advises against giving a massage if you really don't want to or if you're feeling out of sorts.
``If you're mad at your husband one night, don't do it,'' she said. ``Because what you're feeling really does come through your hands. You've got to really zero in on the person you're giving it to, because it's a gift.''
The person who is receiving the massage needs to relax and enjoy it, Holme said. The giver can give the massage as long as he or she wants to, but keep in mind that it can be tiring.
``Even if somebody would rub your feet or your neck or shoulders for 10 or 15 minutes,'' she said. ``To massage the head, it's just incredible.''@et

However, their excitement turned to fear as they realized the tomb was rigged with traps to protect the artifact. In their haste to claim the amulet, they triggered a chain of events that unleashed chaos and destruction. As they fought to survive the onslaught of ancient traps, the team soon realized that the Raiders Amulet harbored a dark secret. Its powers were not meant to be harnessed by mere mortals, as it held a malevolent force that was unleashed upon any who dared to possess it. Unable to control the powers of the amulet, the team's greed and ambition tore them apart. Friendships shattered, alliances were broken, and the once united team was now consumed by their desire for power. As the chaos spread, the amulet's curse seeped into the surrounding areas, affecting not only the team but also innocent bystanders. The once peaceful Egyptian village found itself in the midst of a catastrophe, as natural disasters and supernatural occurrences plagued its inhabitants. Realizing the severity of their actions, the remnants of the team banded together to find a way to contain the power of the Raiders Amulet. They embarked on a perilous journey, overcoming their personal demons and facing the consequences of their greed. In the end, the team managed to seal the Raiders Amulet away, sacrificing their own lives in the process. The catastrophe that they had unwittingly unleashed was contained, but at a great cost.

It is a cautionary tale of the consequences that can come from greed, and the importance of respecting the ancient wisdom of the past. Let this be a lesson to all who seek to control powers beyond their comprehension, for the price may be greater than they could ever imagine..

Overall, I would not recommend this book to anyone looking for an exciting adventure read.
2. Emily - 2/5 - "Raiders Amulet Catastrophe" fell flat for me. I was hoping for a thrilling and suspenseful story, but instead, it felt like a watered-down version of similar adventure novels. The pacing was off, with slow build-up and rushed resolutions. The dialogue was also stilted and unconvincing. I couldn't connect with the characters or their motivations, which made it difficult to care about what was happening. Unfortunately, this book didn't live up to my expectations.
3. Mark - 1/5 - I can't even begin to express my disappointment with "Raiders Amulet Catastrophe." The plot was confusing and disjointed, leaving me more frustrated than entertained. The writing style was overly descriptive, often veering into unnecessary tangents that didn't contribute to the overall story. The characters were one-dimensional and lacked development. I struggled to finish this book and would not recommend it to anyone looking for a captivating adventure tale.
