ASTROLOGY: A system of traditions and beliefs that holds that the relative positions of celestial bodies either directly influence life on Earth or correspond to events experienced on a human scale. Modern astrologers define astrology as a symbolic language, art form and type of divination that can provide infor- mation about personality and human affairs, aid in the interpretation of past and present events, and predict the future.
BIOFEEDBACK: A relaxation technique that monitors internal body states and is used es- pecially for stress-related conditions such as asthma, migraines, insomnia and high blood pressure. During biofeedback, patients monitor minute metabolic changes (e.g., temperature, heart rate and muscle ten- sion), with the aid of sensitive machines. By consciously thinking, visualizing, moving, relaxing, etc., they learn which activities produce desirable changes in the internal processes being monitored.
BODYWORK: Massage and the physical practices of yoga are perhaps the best- known types of bodywork; both have proven successful in relieving tension and stress, promoting blood flow, loosening stiff muscles and stimulating the organs. Mas- sage therapies encompass countless tech- niques, including Swedish massage, shiatsu and Rolfing. The same is true for yoga. Other types of bodywork include mar-
tial arts practices like aikido, ki aikido and Tai chi chuan. Some others are the Alex- ander technique, Aston patterning, Bowen, Breema bodywork, Feldenkrais method, Hellerwork, polarity therapy, Rosen method, Rubenfeld synergy and Trager.
CHINESE MEDICINE: Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is one of the world’s old- est and most complete systems of holistic health care. It combines the use of medici- nal herbs, acupuncture, food therapy, mas- sage and therapeutic exercise, along with the recognition that wellness in mind, body and emotions depends on the harmonious flow of life-force energy (qi or chi, pro- nounced “chee”).
CHIROPRACTIC: Based on the premise that proper structural alignment permits free flow of nerve activity in the body. When spi- nal vertebrae are out of alignment, they put pressure on the spinal cord and the nerves radiating from it, potentially leading to di- minished function and illness. Misalignment can be caused by physical trauma, poor posture and stress. The chiropractor seeks to analyze and correct these misalignments through spinal manipulation or adjustment.
