COVID-19 Does Live on Skin, Hair and Surfaces (for Longer Than You Might Think)!
WebMD has shared a new study on January 25, 2022 (https://www.webmd.com/lung/news/20220125/omicron-survives-longer-plastic-skin-than-other-covid-variants) that shows the Omicron variant of COVID-19 can live on SKIN for 21 hours and plastic for 193.5 hours.
According to WebMD prior to Omicron (https://www.webmd.com/lung/printables/graphic-coronavirus-live-surfaces), they published in 2020 that COVID-19 can live on surfaces for:
5-Days: Metals (door knobs), Jewelry, Silverware and Dishes
Up to 5-Days: Newspapers, Drinking Glasses and Windows
4-Days: Wood and Wood Furniture
2-3 Days: Plastics, Sinks, Water Bottles, Elevator Buttons
1-Day: Cardboard
WebMD has also reported that COVID-19 can also cling to HAIR.
Given that COVID-19 and omnicron can live longer on surfaces than originally thought, it is important to practice these sanitary measures and more:

A Short Explanation of Energy in Massage Therapy or Bodywork
by Selena Belisle, Founder, CE Institute LLC
Do you feel energy in your massage or bodywork?
Many massage therapists (LMTs) and bodyworkers who are in harmony with their sessions and clients might feel something that they cannot measure with scientific methods. I'm talking about those feelings that are happy and positive with one individual but may be scary or negative or some other reaction with another. They are feelings that we sometimes cannot explain. These feelings are likely a result of the energy shared between the practitioner and the client.
Energy is not largely talked about because it's not wholly recognized by science. We feel it but we're taught to ignore it and simply focus on what we can physically feel or what we can see with our own eyes.
Humans are Energetical Beings
Emergency Room (ER) procedures will apply an energetical electric shock to the chest when the heart stops beating. ER staff use machines to emit energy but then, do not recognize the energy being emitted from humans. This should give us a pause and make us think. We often feel these human energies especially when someone is touching us, but most of us will regularly ignore these feelings, especially during medical distress.
How Science is Used to Measure Something Else we Cannot See
What we do acknowledge is that humans have different blood types and they do not all match. We cannot visually see the differences in blood types, but science has developed a test for it. An individual with type A blood cannot receive blood from an individual with type B. The body’s immune system of type A will attack the type B blood. What’s to say that our energies would not be dissimilar?
Have you ever been “rubbed the wrong way”? Who has ever felt worse after receiving bodywork than before starting? Or have you ever been in the presence of someone who made you feel awkward or ill without words or physical contact? All of this might be influenced by an individual’s energy, never mind two combined energies which can produce a whole new feeling.
Does the Practitioner and Client Match?
Acknowledging human energy could explain why some massage therapists instantly blend with some clients. Unfortunately because we have different energies, sometimes we do not blend well and we can usually feel that too. We usually soldier on with those feelings, but is it healthy to do so? That's a multi-million dollar question that should be answered soon by researchers in science.
Unintentional Transfer of Energy During Massage Therapy and Bodywork
The tool used in massage and bodywork application should primarily be the practitioner’s hands. So, whatever energy the practitioner has will be extensively inputted to the recipient’s body. And whatever the client is energetically holding onto is likely "rubbed off" onto the practitioner as well. There’s probably better efficacy for the massage or bodywork when the energy between client and practitioner are congruent.
A Brief Summary
In time, science will likely catch-up to those secret feelings that we're all taught from early on to ignore. Don't ignore them. Those energetical feelings might be the most important part of your being, but until we have science behind us to validate them, we'll just do our best to direct them with positive intention and know that there is something there, even if science cannot prove it.

ATTENTION STUDENTS: Please do not register for CE training with us if you are SOLELY seeking CE credit!
A message from CE Institute LLC founder: Selena Belisle,
CE Institute LLC is committed to providing quality affordable education. We often cut "right to the chase", by teaching relevant material that goes direct to complementary healthcare manual medicine. We try to avoid the traps of sharing unnecessary and useless information that cannot be immediately applied, which allows us to offer shorter, more condensed training than typical, longer and more expensive seminars. Unfortunately, this no nonsense approach has attracted students who are only seeking CE credit, without any true desire to learn.
We are not interested in trying to sell class or teach students who have no desire to attend class. Our experience has been that these students are often disruptive to our operations and learning processes when they solely seek CE credit. These students pay less attention to the material being taught, but some then ask for materials to be excessively repeated which is extremely disruptive to training and can limit the amount of new material presented. They also request training to be cut short, make inexcusable requests or demands of the instructors and school, have damaged school property, been verbally abusive towards others and they complain often given they never wanted to take the training in the first place. These students are regularly discharged from our school without CE credit, but unfortunately not before they have damaged the good intention of others.
Massage is a Non-pharmcological Pain Management Strategy, According to the U.S. Joint Commission
Massage therapy is a wonderful nonpharmacological modality to help manage pain. There is growing recognition of this fact, including at The U.S. Joint Commission which is responsible for certifying and accrediting over 22,000 healthcare ORGANIZATIONS and PROGRAMS.
On May 5, 2017, they issued the Joint Commission’s Pain Standards: Origins and Evolution which you can view by clicking HERE.
In The Joint Commission report's report, they stated that both pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic strategies have a role in the management of pain. This was their list of examples of nonpharmacologic pain management strategies: "physical modalities (for example, acupuncture therapy, chiropractic therapy, osteopathic manipulative treatment, massage therapy, and physical therapy), relaxation therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy; Pharmacologic strategies: nonopioid, opioid, and adjuvant analgesics.”
This is just another affirmation that massage therapy is a non pharmacological apporach for pain management.
