iJoy Massage Chairs Review

December 30, 2008 By Leave a Comment

Some of the words that I've seen used to describe Human Touch's iJoy massage chairs are…

  • different,
  • bold,
  • stylish, and
  • ugly.

So if you're looking to "wake up" a room or add something new and different while receiving massages on-demand, an iJoy chair could be just what you need.

With catchy colors like red, sage and camel, when I first laid eyes on the contemporary designs of iJoy massage chairs, I said to myself "wow, those are unique.”

Whether you find them attractive or just plain hideous, iJoy massage chairs are without a doubt the “purple cows” in the industry in terms of their design. They definitely stick out from other brands in the industry.

Common iJoy Robotic Massage Chair Features

iJoy’s robotic massage system is supposed to replicate a human-like massage.

There are four major professional massage techniques used in each iJoy chair:

• rolling
• kneading
• compression
• percussion

You have the ability to choose a program based on your own personal preferences. Three dimensional movements are utilized to follow the contour of your spine during your massage.

You can choose from one of three different 15 minute programs:

1. Full Back - massage for your whole back
2. Upper Back - receive an upper back massage
3. Lower Back – concentrates on your lower back

Each session will combine all four major massage techniques (rolling, kneading, compression, percussion).

iJoy Robotic Massage Chair Models

There are plenty of iJoy models to choose from…

• iJoy 100
• iJoy 130
• iJoy 173
• iJoy 170
• iJoy 300
• iJoy 320
• iJoy 550

The iJoy 100, 130, 170, and 173 models are basically the same but they vary a little in size and design.

The iJoy 300 includes power reclining and costs a little bit more than other iJoy models (the others are manual recline).

The iJoy 320 is a more expensive model, but it has a calf and foot massager integrated. A calf and foot massager is sold separately for the other models.

The iJoy 550 allows gives you freedom to swivel to the left or right.

Using Subliminals To Fight Off Negativity

December 30, 2008 By Leave a Comment

subliminal persuasion

Most of us would not want to admit the sad fact of life, but negative thoughts are the main driving force behind most of the world’s population right now. We already live in an environment of bad news, bad perceptions and an ecosystem of mistrust. We constantly exposed to the promotion of bad habits, the very proliferation of negativity in the form of bad life examples and negative, pessimistic attitudes. Whatever good there might have been in us is now degenerating fast in a capitalist world that divides the poor and rich in vulgar degrees – faster than the ozone is being depleted from the world as we know it. We are, as humans, losing sight of ourselves as we surrender and ingratiate ourselves into this zeitgeist – but I think it is time for a change. Our mind is plugged into a system that is virus prone and has shoddy programming – it is time to reset yourself. Fight off negative thoughts; learn how subliminals can make it much easier.

Our subconscious is the villain that runs amuck within our lives. The negative vibes in the world are absorbed into our cerebrum faster than a sponge in the sea and it builds what weakly passes for character nowadays. Why do you think there are more obese people in the world today than hundreds of years ago? Why do you think cigarette companies are laughing to the bank no matter what recession plagues our global economies? This is because addiction has become a part of who we are as a species, addiction has been wired into our nature – so much so that we view things as cool and as fad. This is subliminal technology at work – when a company that essentially sells a roll of leaves peppered with more toxic chemicals than in a nuclear waste plant – and we think it is cool; it’s subliminal persuasion at work. Advertising is subliminal persuasion at work because the obvious and the unobvious in advertising campaigns are messages that latch on to your subconscious and take over the reigns of your life.

It is time to fight fire with fire. If you can be programmed into being an addict, why should there be any reason that you can’t be reprogrammed back to normal? How many times have you heard yourself say that you will ‘quit’ next week or you need just a bit of time more to do that thing you always wanted. What are we afraid of? Fear – even irrational fear is a living breathing endemic that is gnawing away at us and we are powerless to overcome it. Self improvement must always start at the top and now we have subliminal technology to drive away negative thoughts and make us ask a simple question – why didn’t I do this earlier?

Exactly. Why didn’t you do this earlier? Why didn’t you take action when you could? Why are you always putting yourself down and looking at the world in a bad light? It’s time for a change and this is something subliminals can make it much easier.

Rest Well To Overcome Stress

December 15, 2008 By Leave a Comment

For most of us, life is more stressful than ever. For many of us, the day’s stress leads to a sleepless night.

In this article, we will review a variety tips on helping a person fall asleep. How long does it take for a given individual to fall asleep?It depends on a number of factors, including what the person ate before they went to bed, how tired the person is, and numerous other factors.If you have sleep problems, it probably feels like hours before you fall asleep. Here are some more; insomnia tips, insomnia information and insomnia articles.

Insomnia means you are finding it very hard to get to sleep.It also can mean that you are having a challenging time staying asleep. Most people who suffer from insomnia say that they remember tossing and turning all night long, or remember being awake at night. When I have insomnia I just can’t seem to turn my mind off; often I can’t even close my eyes. Usually it takes me about 30 minutes to fall asleep; but my son is asleep as soon as his head hits the pillow.

The TV helps me fall asleep — I have it on a timer to shut it off after 30 minutes.  I also need total dark and my bedroom needs to be ice cold – even in summer. This doesn’t help save energy, of course!

There are behavioral, or natural, treatments for insomnia. One well-known relaxation technique is to tense different muscle groups and then relax them. Another technique is to repeat a set of visualizations to produce a state of relaxation. My favorite visualization? Just lying in the sun on a beach in the Bahamas.

Another helpful method is to associate the bedroom with just sleeping, by limiting the time spent in the bedroom for non-sleep activities.So take your television, office, and computer out of the bedroom. Also reduce the use of stimulants such as caffeine, and avoid large meals just before bed; this can help reduce insomnia. One might also try soaking in a hot bath to relax, or listening to soft music before going to bed.

Melatonin is one well-known sleep aid. It is especially helpful for people who suffer from insomnia caused by jet lag or shift work. Melatonin occurs naturally in the body when serotonin is exposed to a lowered quantity of light.

Other common over-the-counter sleep aids such as Sominex or Nytol can also be tried by adults but, again, one should consult with their doctor before taking any of these sleep aids, especially if you suffer from Parkinson’s disease, or are being treated for depression or other mental health problems. But it is also buying into the mindset of turning to a pill to solve a problem, which can be the genesis of problems in other areas of a person’s life.

It is advised that if you have trouble falling asleep and have tried all the natural tips in this article, then perhaps you should see a sleep therapist. So many people have sleep challenges, there is now a sub-specialty in medicine for such problems. Since insomnia may be a symptom of another medical problem, it is best to get a consultation with your doctor and discuss your sleeping problems with him.

Even with all these tips on falling asleep, it is still different with each person on how to fall asleep. It is important that you do, because proper rest is vital in dealing with life’s other stresses.

A Little Rick Rolling at Christmas

December 13, 2008 By Leave a Comment

Have you been Rick Rolled? For people who've never encountered the phenomenon, Rick Rolling or Rickrolling is an internet hoax aimed at web surfers. The surfer clicks a link that suggests they may find something they are looking for, maybe pornography, news or even a recipe, but instead they are served a video of the great Rick Astley singing his 1987 hit 'Never Gonna Give You Up'. A harmless bit of fun

Although the prank started out in 2007 on the internet it has now made its way into other arenas with hoaxers playing the Rick Astley tune at football games and other popular sports events. There have also been a number of Rickrolling  instances on television and radio and a recent occurrence of a flashmob at Londons Liverpool street station wherein the crowd all sang the great Rick Astley tune, ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’.

Christmas brings loads of opportunities for some seasonal Rickrolling. High street shops are, sometimes annoyingly and incessantly, playing Christmas carols and pop tunes. If you work in a shop and need a break from the never ending Christmas tunes, why not slip a little Rick into the proceedings and declare that your Christmas shoppers have been Rickrolled. Dress up as Rick and mime to the tune, capture yourself on video and upload to Youtube for a little fame.

Then there are the Christmas even carol services in churches all over the world. If you have control of the church sound system why not have a little harmless fun and interject some Rick into the proceedings to Rickroll the congregation.

And what about carol singing? Rather than the boring old ‘Good King Wenceslas’ and ‘While Shepherds Washed Their Socks by Night’ why not dress up as Rick and serve up a rousing rendition of ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’. Bound to bring a smile to a few quizzical faces, even more amusing if you can dress up and do the Rick Astley dance, you're likely to make a little extra.

I'm a great fan of funny, harmless, whimsical practical jokes and Rickrolling is a fine example.

But you might be more interested in hot young babes or maybe a new van lease contract. Or, in this cold weather, maybe you need some good quality outdoor clothing.

The Psychology of Winning – How To Reject Failure In Your Life

December 12, 2008 By Leave a Comment

Reject Failure In Your Life

Whether we realize it or not, failure inevitably plays a part in our lives. No one can avoid it and it starts the minute we are born. We try, we stutter, we fumble before we can finally stand up straight and walk. These early life lessons are crucial because they teach us that the world is often not a pretty picture and can set us up for disappointments. But we cannot let it get too far and we grow expecting failure to turn up at every corner. When this happens, failure becomes our happy bedfellow and we embrace it not because we are willing, but because we can’t help but be attracted to it. We need to adopt the psychology of winning. This article will show you the ways you can do that, and how to reject failure in your life.

Winning attitudes, psychologically set to succeed and having a spirit to overcome any and all odds that come our way; achieving this isn’t easy, but neither is it impossible. First let’s talk about desire and its importance in this equation. If you don’t really want something, it’s not really going to come to you easily is it? Wanting something badly is already half the battle won because it gives us the drive necessary to find any avenue and any route possible to achieve our aims in life. Not many of us know this, but we are magnets for failure, because we reject ambition, we reject desire and we reject hardships, temporary as they may be.

Fact is, we have become a fast food nation of people who want the immediate and usually don’t like to wait around for the better quality of success. Admit it, humans have evolved into a lazy species with the advent of technology and expect success to come running. It really is quite dispiriting to see. What I am proposing is a wait and see approach and throw in a bit of hard work now and then. You will be amazed with the results. It’s like rowing to a deep part of an ocean, unchartered and foul with rumours of unproductive fishing. You sit there and wait and not a single fish bites. But instead of packing up and leaving, why not wait for a little while longer? Why not be creative in your approach, why not use better bait? You might just take home a whale of a catch and can feed yourself for the next few summers and winters.

How we get that psychology of success is to just get a taste of what it can do to the human spirit and how it can rekindle life and pull away the drab curtain and cloudy horizons that we always seem to see when we look out the windows of our soul. Once we build this momentum, we will never stop trying to succeed because the exhiliration that comes with success is like an euphoric drug that we can’t get rid of. This is the psychology of winning and soon you won’t have to reject failure – it won’t be there anymore.

How To Bring Abundance Into Your Life

December 5, 2008 By Leave a Comment

listen to a wide range of advice

Abundance begets abundance. It’s the one motto everyone should live by in today’s society. I have been reading a lot about life in the past few months and the many ways that one can improve yourself, bring about success and be overall happy with what you have. This isn’t a promotion of complacency, but simply a guide on how to bring about abundance to your life with the tools that you already have. There are no purchases necessary, nor do you have to buy into any new age philosophy – all you have to do is read and think about the 10 simple ways to bring abundance to your life.

Want. You need to have the desire to be better, to excel. If you are happy with the meagre possessions that you have then you will never want to climb the tower of Babel and learn the world’s knowledge. You must have desire, you must have drive and most importantly you must bring back that ambition back into your life.

Be vocal. Speak about your problems to other people and listen to a wide range of advice. Vocalize your ambitions, and never be afraid to ask questions and clarify your doubts.

Self reflection. It goes a long way in trying to find the factors that have been holding you back, factors that only you have been contributing to your own lack of abundance in life.

Identify your problems.

Take action. Stop making excuses about how things are just too hard for you to cope with. You have to start somewhere and you can’t always have something that is in the way of your success.

Deadlines. Have them. Plan a calendar of your life and set objectives of where you want to be in a few months down to road and how you can be closer to your aims in life.

Keep a journal and pen down your thoughts as you go about the business of bringing abundance to yourself.

Think positive. If there are people around you who are bringing you down, then it’s time to consider asking them to keep their distance.

Don’t be afraid to try new things, only when you are able to do this can you learn and improve yourself.

Be confident in everything that you do and soon you will attain a natural charisma that will allow you to exude an air of success that will naturally attract abundance to life.

These are the ten ways that can help you to bring back abundance back into your life. Of course these are just pointers and when you start you will realise the entire paradigm that must be overcome and factors that have to be considered before anything can truly happen. It’s like an investment into the stock market, it has to be nurtured and failures are part and parcel of the road to profits. The same concept applies to life; you have to make an investment in order for you to have an abundant life. Once you get started you realise one thing, you never want to stop and soon you will laughing all the way to the emotional and spiritual and hopefully, monetary bank.
