But you don't need many of the things you've come to rely on Salomon Kalalau Mens , such as your cell phone, e-mail, or faxes.
And there's no point in having an Internet presence if those you want to reach lack computers or online capabilities. Or, if you have nothing to say. But, if you do have something to say, and your audience is accessible on the Internet, then consider a website.
Years before the Internet, I prepared a brochure to give to people who wanted to know what I did. It was pocket size Salomon Outban Low Mens , so I always had a few on hand to give out. And it was more impressive, and more descriptive of my services than a business card. Think of a website as an electronic brochure with many advantages over a printed brochure, such as:
1. It's unlimited in quantity. You don't have to get a few thousand printed every time you run out.
2. It's easily updated and, if you do it yourself, cost-free.
3. You can link it to your newsletter and other sites to extend its usefulness to the reader.
4. It also gets much wider exposure than any printed brochure ever could.
Initially, the only cost will be the time you spend not watching TV commercials. Most of us can afford that.
The first thing to do is decide what you want your web site to tell people about you. To do that, you don't need a computer, just a pad and pencil. Put them by your TV chair so you can scribble stuff down during commercials. Write a phrase about what you do. Then scribble down your qualifications. And what you do for your clients. Plus what they do for you (i.e. how you get paid).
Don't worry about grammar Salomon Outban MID Mens , spelling, or even forming sentences at this stage. All that comes later.
Can't think of anything to say about yourself? Ask your significant other, a client, or a few of your clients. Find out what they think you do, and why they deal with you.
If after a week your pad is blank, forget it. You're not ready for a web site. Why? Because the most important thing about a web site is content, and if you've got nothing to say, you've got no content.
When you've filled a page or so about what you do Salomon S-LAB 5 XT Wings Mens , and the benefits of dealing with you, it's time to reshape it. Start by dividing all the stuff you've written into two parts, qualifications, and other. In the qualifications pile include all the phrases that describe why prospects should deal with you. Try to turn them into a paragraph or two of benefits, and call them your Professional Background.
The other pile consists of what's left over, maybe your age, family life, hobbies Salomon XT Wings 3 Mens , etc. Rewrite all those phrases into a more readable form and call that your Personal Profile.
Now you can turn on your computer, and type it all into your word processor, edit it so it hangs together and makes sense, then save it as MySite so you can copy it into your web site.
You now have some content for your website. For clues on how create it, visit

The other primary healing methods are herbology, Tuina massage, acupuncture, and bone setting. There are many other subcatagories of TCM, but these are the primary ones. Loosely defined, "Qi" (sometimes spelled Chi) stands for energy or the vital life force of the body. Although sometimes people in the states will attach metaphysical concepts to Qi, most Chinese masters agree that Qi can be completely explained in physical or biological terms. "Gong" means "work" or "effort" so the phrase "Qigong" can be translated "energy work."
Unlike western medicine Salomon Snowcross Mens , TCM uses Yin and Yang theory. Yin and Yang are opposing concepts that, at least in part, are defined by one another. For example, Yang is hot while Yin is cold. Yang is hard, dry, active and light while Yin is soft, wet, inactive and dark. If there is an imbalance in Yin and Yang Salomon Fell Raiser Mens , illness results. If the body is too hot or too cold, the individual will become sick. If the body is too stiff or to loose, it cannot be healthy. Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnoses and redresses imbalances in the body in order to help the individual be healthy.
Sometimes westerners have problems with Yin and Yang theory because they are looking for fixed ideas whereas Yin and Yang theory are variable. For example, earth is Yang whereas water is Yin. Yet at the same time both earth and water can be more Yin or more Yang as a result of their temperature. Hot water is more yang than cold water. Another more complex example deals with ice. Although ice is colder than water and therefore more Yin, it is also harder than water and therefore more Yang.
Traditional Chinese Medicine often detects imbalances in Yin and Yang using meridians and pressure points. Meridian lines are similar to the lines of the nervous system. However, instead of sending invisible electrical signals, in traditional Chinese medicine, meridian lines are thought to be carriers of Qi
Pressure points are points on the body where the meridian lines are close to the surface of the skin and are therefore more easily accessible. If you look at a chart of meridians and pressure points Salomon S-Lab Sense 2 Mens , you will notice that pressure points are lined up along the meridian lines.
