I have been doing some rewriting of my www.massagepracticebuilder.com site to include more of the information about using Sitebuildit!, the law of attraction, peer supervision and peer supervision groups to build a rewarding and successful practice. My format for building a practice focuses on the rewarding part because if you focus on that, everything else will fall into place.
A rewarding practice is one that brings you joy and comes to you easily because you know that you are responsible for everything you have created in your life.
My basic forumla for creating that is to build a website, practice the law of attraction or learning to become self aware, start or join a peer supervision group and find a peer supervisor and then when you have what you want, share it with others through the process of mentoring, becoming a peer supervisor and through starting/teaching in an apprenticeship program.
I recommend that people start with building a website using Sitebuildit! because it is way more than just building a website. It is about starting to really think about what it is that you do and learning to talk about it and write about it in a way that attracts your ideal client to you. Working on your ideal client you will feel nourished and they will respect you enough to pay you what you ask for because they value what you do. As you build a website, you will also get information about what type of clients are finding you and what they are looking for so that you can optimize on those things if you desire or you can rewrite to start attracting those you do want to work with. This is all done using the statistics that SBI! provides on keywords.
So starting a website for your massage practice is just not about the website. It is about really taking a look at what you want and learning to ask for just that. In that way you can become more ‘attractive’ to your ideal client.
Understanding and using the law of attraction is just about learning to focus on what you do want and stop focusing on what you don’t want. It is about becoming aware of all of those little unconscious thoughts that creep up when you say what you desire. These thoughts are coming from your unconscious false core beliefs that you have about yourself. They aren’t true even though at times it really does seem like they are. It is coming to an understanding that you are good enough and don’t have to work to please everyone. It is about accepting yourself where you are at right now. It is about learning to change your unconscious beliefs by becoming more aware of what you are feeling. Your feelings are what tell you if what you are thinking is in alignment with your true self.
Starting or joining a peer supervision group or finding a peer supervisor for one on one work will help you with the first two things and also help you learn to set boundaries. You boundaries are what set up the healing container for the client and allow you to be present with the process of healing and stop focus on fixing clients.
When you have a solid practice set up using these paramters it is also important to start sharing what you know and have learned with others by becoming a peer supervisor yourself or teaching massage in an apprenticeship program or other type of mentoring program. When we can begin to share what we know and have experienced it is another way of learning even more about yourself and helping others to see themselves more clearly is necessary for promoting the massage profession and making it into the profession that we dream about.
Everything that is on my other site www.thebodyworker.com was meant to start an apprenticeship program and help pass on the art of massage to others as well as supporting other massage therapists through the process of becoming a massage therapist.
